I’m Wesley Tate, owner of Heaven’s Moving, and long-distance is the part of this business I am proudest of, because we do not hand it off. We run our own US DOT and MC authority, our own trucks, and our own W-2 crews up I-95, down I-85, and out I-64. The folks who load your house in the Fan are the same folks who carry it up the stairs in Brooklyn or Charlotte.
From a Fan District rowhouse to a Short Pump colonial, Richmond, VA movers writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
One crew, both ends, no broker
A lot of “long-distance movers” are just middlemen who sell your job to whatever truck is cheapest. We are not that. When you book Heaven’s Moving for a Richmond-to-anywhere haul, you get my name, my dispatcher Roy on the truck board, and a real inventory log. Nothing gets transferred to a stranger’s trailer in a parking lot off I-95.
I held this line for a reason. My long-haul lead, Cory, runs these routes himself, so the family in the Fan who watched their grandmother’s china get blanket-wrapped sees the same hands set it down in Charlotte. We weigh the shipment, count every piece, and you can reach us the whole way. That is not how a broker operates — a broker sells your job and disappears. We keep our DOT number on the door because the truck is ours and so is the responsibility.
Where we drive from Richmond
- The I-95 corridor: DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York

How the price and timing work
We base the binding flat rate on weight and mileage and write it before we load. Transit time scales with distance — here is the shape of it.
| Crew / route | Rate or example | Transit |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck (loading) | $139/hr basis | — |
| 3 movers + truck (loading) | $189/hr basis | — |
| 1-bed Richmond → DC | flat from $1,550 | Same / next day |
| 2-bed Richmond → Charlotte | flat from $3,150 | 1–2 days |
Every long haul carries up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment, $0.60/lb released value standard, full-value optional. We are a real licensed Virginia moving company, not a load board. Get my free moving quote, or call our office to plan the route.
