College Navigator lists Virginia Commonwealth University with a Fall 2024 student population of 28,464. This note does not state an out-of-state share. The university has a downtown medical campus and a separate Monroe Park campus. Confirm which one holds the car. A trailer needs a pull-through street, not a deck. College student shipping still needs that point set in advance.
VDOT posts No Trucks and No Thru Trucks signs on some highways and publishes a truck-route map. Those signs are the rule where they are posted. The Hampton Roads tunnel heights apply if the same truck continues to Norfolk or Chesapeake. They are not a Richmond street rule. Common practice in the city is to meet off a tight downtown block.
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.
