Most cars arrive 2 to 3 days after pickup.

Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to Virginia
Valley weather and Northern Virginia traffic set the timing.

Summer heat and afternoon storms rarely stop a carrier, but plan to be on hand at pickup so your car isn't sitting in the sun.
Valley Winter
Snow and ice on I-81 can slow trucks a day from December through February.
Northern Virginia Traffic
I-66 and the Beltway back up for hours at rush hour. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Beach Summer
Virginia Beach is busy on summer weekends. Weekday delivery is easier.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Virginia.
Registering in Virginia
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the Virginia DMV. Virginia requires an annual safety inspection, plus emissions testing in Northern Virginia. Active-duty members may keep their home-state registration. Check dmv.virginia.gov for current requirements.
Blue Ridge Roads
Steep, winding roads to mountain homes around Roanoke and the Blue Ridge aren't safe for a loaded carrier. Plan to meet in town.
Virginia Inspection
Virginia requires a yearly safety inspection, and Northern Virginia adds emissions testing.
DeSoto County and North Mississippi Pickups
Southaven, Olive Branch, Hernando, and Horn Lake are just south of Memphis on I-55 and I-269, which saves time on trips north and east. Oxford and Tupelo are an hour or two off the interstate. Campus weekends in Oxford and newer HOA neighborhoods in DeSoto County usually mean meeting at a lot nearby.
