Moving to Virginia? Ship Your Car with Number 1 Auto Transport

One of the first states to take in explorers from the Old World, Virginia saw the Jamestown Colony settled by Europeans in 1607. Over 400 years later, it is a state that is hard to characterize. From the eastern portion’s coastal living to the spread of history and American government across the northern area to the sleepy, Appalachian hills of the western outreaches, Virginia brings plenty for visitors and residents alike.

  • With high marks for Labor Supply and Regulatory Environment – ranking third in both categories – as well as the top ranking for Quality of Life, Virginia came in 4th overall on Forbes’ Best States for Business Virginia has been rated number one overall on that list five times, and was also rated 4th by CNBC in their state ratings as well.
  • From kindergarten through graduate school, Virginia gets high marks for education. The U.S. Department of Education consistently ranks Virginia in the top five on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The 2019 Quality Counts report ranked Virginia’s K-12 education as the third-best in the country. After graduation, Virginia has top-notch universities for further education, with the University of Virginia ranked 28th in the country by the U.S. News and World Report. Virginia Tech and the College of William and Mary also make it into the top 75.
  • Conveniently located at the midpoint of the eastern seaboard, with Washington DC sitting at the top of the state, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Virginia is home to a large portion of government and government-related jobs. Virginia has the highest defense spending of any state per capita, which provides citizens with roughly 900,000 jobs. Regarding federal procurement money, roughly 12% of the total yearly amount is spent in Virginia.
  • Rated by Travel + Leisure as one of the Most Scenic Road Trips in America, Skyline Drive is part of the Blue Ridge Parkway, running through Shenandoah National Park. This 105-mile drive can take three hours – much longer if you stop at many scenic overlooks along the way, so pack a lunch and ensure the car or bike has plenty of fuel. It’s well worth it.
  • Virginia has quietly put together one of the country’s most compelling craft beer, cider, and wine regions. It has the sixth-most wineries in the country, the twelfth-most craft breweries, and the ninth-most cideries. Much of this comes thanks to the state’s western region, where agriculture is king. The climate is perfect for grapes and grains and applies to all thrive.
  • With all the attention paid to Maryland and New England, it would surprise folks to find out that Virginia is the highest producer of seafood on the East Coast and the fourth-largest in the country! Thanks to the massive tidewater expanse along the Chesapeake Bay, scallops, oysters, blue crabs, and clams are all major harvests, while access to the open ocean brings in saltwater fishing.
  • Virginia was the focal point of the Civil War, with a full third of the recognized battlefields from the state’s war. From the famous, including Manassas, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville, to the lesser-known New Market battlefield in the Shenandoah Valley, the end of the war at Appomattox is a state that is home to so much of the history of blue versus gray.
  • Want to go even further back? Visit the Historic Triangle, a small Virginia Peninsula area with an incredible amount of history. Linked by the 23-mile-long Colonial Parkway, you can visit Jamestown and check out the Jamestown Settlement living history museum and Historic Jamestowne, with its ongoing archaeological projects. Follow the Parkway east to Williamsburg, where Colonial Williamsburg is one of the country’s largest living history museums. Finally, the Parkway ends a bit further east at Yorktown, where the American Revolution ended as General Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington in 1781.


It’s no wonder Virginia has consistently ranked in the top ten for population growth over the last few years with everything it offers. It’s a state where those born there stick around while plenty of folks are looking to move in from outside.

Enclosed Auto Transport to Virginia

Virginia gets four-season weather, and with part of the state being in the path of many hurricanes working their way up the coast, there is the potential for poor weather throughout the year. Snowfall is generally moderate, and blizzards are rarely a worry. The chills of winter can lead to icy roads. Tornadoes sometimes touch down in the central Virginia region, while the coastline is inundated by hurricanes and tropical storms on a reasonably regular basis. It’s a smart idea to protect your investment by using enclosed auto transport, especially when poor weather is on the horizon. When you send your vehicle via enclosed auto transport, you’ll avoid damage from rain, wind-blown debris in storms, and other curveballs the weather throws out there.

The safest way to transport your car to Virginia is within an enclosed auto transport. There are two options for shipping your car via enclosed auto transport:

  • Soft-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – The heavy canvas covering the carriers protects your car from wind-blown debris, rain, sleet, snow, and other elements.
  • Hard-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – In addition to the advantages of soft-sided carriers, hard-sided carriers offer protection for your car in the unlikely event your car is exposed to possible damage during transportation.


Open Auto Transport to Virginia

Thinking about using open auto transport for your Virginia car transport needs? Open carriers are the same double-decker car carriers the dealerships use. Your vehicle will be secured with state-of-the-art equipment and arrive at its destination within seven days of departure. Open auto transport is a secure and affordable way of shipping your car, protecting your vehicle from road vibration, excess mileage, and more.

Lowboy Carriers to Virginia

Navigating heavy equipment through the high-growth Golden Crescent region of northern Virginia can be difficult. The busy beltway region, the headaches of dealing with traffic jams on the highways, and tight streets in the towns and cities all make transporting dozers, skid steer loaders, pavers, and more a chore. Still, construction crews need to keep up with the business and population growth continuing at a steady pace. Many construction and timber businesses choose to get a third party to move their equipment. That’s why construction teams across Old Dominion rely on the Virginia heavy equipment transport experts at Number 1 Auto to ensure they stay on schedule and everything gets to the next job site safely.

Transporting heavy construction equipment is a serious business. Our veteran lowboy carrier drivers are trained to handle oversized loads and high gross tonnage. Number 1 Auto’s drivers are skilled in moving heavy equipment in and out of job sites and navigating busy highways with unique loads.
