No obligation · straight to our Raleigh office
Richmond is about 160 miles north of Raleigh, and getting there means crossing the state line into Virginia on I-95 after picking it up east of the city near Rocky Mount. That’s a longer drive than a lot of our local competitors want to staff with one crew for the whole trip, which is exactly why we do it that way. The two or three people who load your Raleigh home in the morning are the same ones riding that stretch of I-95 north and carrying everything into your new Richmond address later the same day.
Crossing State Lines Without Losing Track of Your Move
An interstate move adds a layer most people don’t think about until it’s their furniture: your things are legally in the care of a licensed interstate carrier the moment that truck crosses into Virginia. Hands 2 Hands is a registered North Carolina household-goods carrier, and keeping one crew and one truck on the job from Raleigh to Richmond means there’s no gap where responsibility for your belongings passes between companies or drivers who’ve never met each other.
A Raleigh-to-Richmond move with us includes:
- Same-day delivery for most households, loading in the morning and unloading by evening
- One dedicated crew handling both the Raleigh walkthrough and the Richmond delivery
- Furniture pads, shrink wrap, and floor protection included at both ends
- Short-term storage in Raleigh if your Richmond move-in date isn’t ready yet
Whether you’re headed to Richmond for a state government job, VCU, or just want to be closer to family up in Virginia, the plan stays simple: the crew you meet at your estimate is the crew unloading your boxes at your new front door, a state line away. Reach out for a free in-home or video estimate and we’ll lay out exactly how your Raleigh-to-Richmond move day will run.
Good questions
Questions Raleigh customers actually ask
Is my move covered once the truck crosses into Virginia?
Yes. Hands 2 Hands is a licensed and insured North Carolina household-goods carrier, and the same crew and truck stay with your belongings the entire way, so there's no gap in coverage or handoff to another company.
How long does a Raleigh to Richmond move usually take?
The drive up I-95 runs a little under three hours. Most homes load in the morning and unload in Richmond the same evening, with larger households sometimes finishing the next morning.
Can you store my things in Raleigh if my Richmond lease starts later?
Yes, we hold belongings at our Poole Rd facility for as long as you need, then the same crew delivers to Richmond once you're ready.
Why Raleigh trusts this crew
What sets Hands 2 Hands Moving apart
The people who answer your first call are the same people lifting the last box off the truck — same faces, same truck, no handoff in between.
Same Crew, Both Ends
Reggie’s four-man crew rides with the truck door to door — the hands wrapping your dresser are the same hands setting it down at the new place, no relief crew waiting on the other end.
Our Trucks, Our People
Nobody on the truck is a name pulled off a staffing app — every mover is hired and trained by us, and answers to the same foreman Reggie’s crew has worked under for six years.
Licensed Across North Carolina
Active North Carolina household-goods carrier registration, insurance riding on every load, and a certificate of insurance to your Raleigh property manager or HOA the same day you ask for one.
We Route Around The Beltline
The I-440 slowdown at rush hour, the one-way grid downtown, a new-construction street out past Wendell where GPS still guesses — Julian maps around all of it before your crew ever leaves the yard.
Marcus Still Answers The Phone
Call the Poole Rd office and you get Marcus, Priya, or somebody who actually works here — never an overseas script. We hold the arrival window we quote, and rebooking your date never costs you a penalty.
Long-distance
Long-distance moves out of Raleigh
Dante or Reggie rides the whole way — loads it in Raleigh, drives it, and is still on the truck when it opens at the other end. Nothing gets handed off to a different crew partway there.
Packed like it’s ours to keep
What your furniture goes through between here and there
Blankets go on before the hallway does
Camille’s crew wraps and shrink-films every dresser and cushion right where it’s sitting — nothing rides down your hallway or stairwell bare.
Door frames and floors get padded first
Runners go down and corner guards go up on every door jamb before the first box moves, so neither the exit nor the entrance picks up a scuff.
Furniture comes apart and goes back together
Bed frames, dining tables, and cribs get broken down for the ride and rebuilt at the new address — you’re not the one hunting for a hex key.
Glass and electronics ride in their own box
Mirrors, artwork, and anything with a screen get their own carton and corner protection — nothing fragile gets wedged behind the couch cushions to save space.
Straps and dollies carry the weight, not your back
Heavy pieces move on ramps and dollies with real tie-down straps, so nothing gets dragged across a floor or muscled up a stairwell by hand.
The crew that wraps the first box unloads the last one
There’s no relief shift and no new face after lunch — the same crew that started your move is the one setting the last box down.

I had best moving experience. Thank you
Movers were fast, efficient, and friendly.
How it works
Three steps. One crew the whole way.
01
Tell us where and when
Call or fill out the form with your two ZIP codes and a rough room count — that’s enough for Priya to put a number in writing the same day, no walkthrough required and no charge just for asking.
02
Your crew gets assigned
Once you lock in a date, Reggie’s crew and their truck go on the schedule under your name — the same four guys, start to finish. Need a certificate sent to a property manager first? We handle it before move day.
03
The same faces load and unload
Your crew shows up inside the window we gave you, wraps and pads what needs it, and rides the truck to the destination themselves — nobody new shows up on the other end.
Ready to put your move on the schedule?
The crew that answers your call is the crew standing in your driveway on move day — no substitutions, no subcontractor picking up the second half. Tell us where you’re headed and we’ll have a number back before the day’s out.
