Checked facts
What does the base change?
Military OneSource lists Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk and labels the service Navy. A privately owned vehicle moved inside the contiguous states is largely the member's expense. There are exceptions. Confirm the order with the transportation office. A carrier should not plan to roll onto the installation unless that office has authorized the gate. Common practice is an off-base meeting point.
Which tunnel can the truck use?
VDOT says I-64 westbound at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel is 13 feet, 6 inches without a permit. Eastbound is 14 feet, 6 inches with a permit. Maximum width is 10 feet, 6 inches with a permit, and wider vehicles need a VDOT escort. The I-264 Downtown Tunnel and the U.S. 58 Midtown Tunnel are 13 feet, 6 inches high and 8 feet, 6 inches wide without a permit. VDOT points over-height trucks to I-664. The Atlantic season runs June 1 through November 30.
When do you register?
Title within 30 days of moving, then register within 30 days. A safety inspection is required before you operate the car. Steps are on the Virginia registration page. Confirm the holding address the morning of pickup, and tell the driver about gates, low wires, and any street the trailer cannot enter.
