About Shipping in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach, Virginia is the most populous city in Virginia, located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The nearby Port of Virginia in Norfolk is one of the East Coast's major deep-water ports handling vehicle shipments. A large military presence at Naval Station Norfolk generates consistent vehicle relocation demand.
I-64 provides the main corridor west to Richmond and beyond. Military relocations create steady year-round demand for vehicle transport services. Proximity to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel adds a unique routing consideration for carriers approaching from the north.
