Richmond draws a steady mix of federal retirees and young families priced out of the DC market, and Julian Ortiz has run this corridor often enough to schedule it as a tight job rather than a loose estimate.
Route & Timing
I-95 carries the entire drive south from Jersey City — through Delaware, Maryland, and past Washington DC — before crossing into Virginia and reaching the Richmond metro. It’s a single unbroken interstate, no detour onto a second highway.
- Distance: about 340 miles
- Corridor: I-95 south via Washington DC
- Transit: 1 to 2 days depending on load size
Beltway Traffic Is Our Problem
“Getting through DC at the wrong hour can eat ninety minutes. We build that into the schedule, not into your invoice.” — Julian Ortiz, crew chief
Full-value protection is included on the Richmond figure standard, and the crew loading your Jersey City home is the same crew unloading at your new Virginia address — no relay, no broker.
What to Expect
- Walkthrough locks the binding Richmond figure.
- Load at your Hudson County address.
- I-95 south via Washington DC.
- Unload, reassembly, signed delivery sheet.
