Chesapeake to Washington, DC
The run to Washington covers about 200 miles, starting on I-64 and settling onto I-95 once you’re past Richmond. Government transfers, a posting tied to a Pentagon-area assignment, or a service member rotating north out of Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads make up most of what we haul on this lane.

Two tunnels and a beltway, planned for
Getting off the peninsula usually means the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel or the HRBT first, and the Capital Beltway waits on the other end. Theo Marsh sets most DC-bound loads for a mid-morning start specifically so the crew isn’t fighting both rush hours in one day.
Report dates that don’t move
A PCS transfer runs on paperwork with a fixed date attached, and Nadia Cross works backward from that date to line up the truck and, if needed, a storage bridge until base housing or a lease is ready. A federal civilian move with a hard start gets the identical treatment.
- Your belongings stay on one truck for all 200 miles; nothing gets restaged at a rest stop
- Furniture is boarded and wrapped before the tunnel exit, not somewhere on I-95
- Departure built around bridge-tunnel and Beltway traffic on both ends
- Nadia can hold your things in short-term storage if the DC-area move-in date slips

A capital-bound move still starts with Paige standing in your rooms in Chesapeake, and whatever number she puts on paper is exactly what shows up on the invoice at delivery.
