How do you land on my local moving price?

Square footage, how tough the pickup and drop points are to reach, and the miles in between set your number. Kayla locks it in ahead of booking, and a slow crossing through the HRBT doesn't change it afterward. On smaller jobs, hourly billing sometimes wins out, so both figures get run and you keep the lower one.

Who's tracking my report date at Oceana or Little Creek?

Sean handles that. He schedules against the actual date on your orders, not an estimate, and the truck gets held to it. If the Navy moves your timeline, the new date gets worked in without touching your original rate.

Will you move a piano without an extra charge?

Yes, that's ordinary work for this crew. Tyrell's team boards and carries a piano like any other heavy piece, in-house the whole way, and it's already part of your flat total.

When should I lock in a date before hurricane season?

Sooner rather than later, particularly June to November when a hurricane's track can bump a date. Tell us a target and your crew, truck, and price all hold, with room for an earlier start if the forecast calls for it.

Dale looks over every submission by hand before a number goes back out. Asking doesn't commit you to anything — sit on the figure for a day or a month, whatever works. Expect a flat rate built from your actual ZIP codes, not a placeholder guess, usually in your inbox before the afternoon's out. Your details stay with this desk; nobody outside our Virginia Beach office ever sees them.

Local rates that hold up against real HRBT traffic

Dale Ashworth started this company in 2013 after watching other movers quote a price that fell apart the moment a truck sat in tunnel traffic. Every local rate we write today gets tested against the actual route before it goes on paper.

We look at your address before we look at a calculator

Kayla Whitfield walks the details first: a sandy Sandbridge lane, a locked HOA gate in Croatan, or a five o’clock crawl through the tunnel. Local jobs price out two ways, hourly at $115/hr for two movers, $155/hr for three, or $205/hr for four, or flat by home size, and you pay the lower figure. Everyone on the crew is a JBR employee, not someone hired for one afternoon.

Move day, step by step

Property review Kayla notes the stairs, the parking situation, and which tunnel the route depends on, before any number is finalized.
Crew assigned Sean Marbury locks in your date and matches it to the date printed on your PCS paperwork when orders are involved.
Padding first The crew wraps furniture as soon as loading starts, and from June to November someone is also watching the tropical outlook for anything forming offshore.
The house itself Tyrell Banks or Cody Ransom adjusts the plan to whatever the property calls for, a rancher in Kempsville, a stairwell in Sandbridge, a split-level in Bayside.
Delivery Furniture goes back together at the destination, and the bill lines up with the figure from booking, whatever the tunnel did that day.

Blocks our crew has already driven

Cody has backed a truck down a Sandbridge lane so narrow it barely clears the mirrors, no walkthrough needed first. Tyrell knows which Bayside streets call for the smaller box truck because the full rig can’t make the turn. The water isn’t something either of them figures out at the last minute.

Kempsville & Great NeckRancher-style homes with driveways built for easy staging
Sandbridge & CroatanSandy lanes and HOA parking limits, sorted out before the crew shows up
Bayside & LynnhavenRush hour off the HRBT gets built into the schedule ahead of time
Princess Anne & Red MillNewer builds further from the water, frequent PCS load-out dates

The reason Dale watches the tunnel forecast

He grew up in Kempsville, the son of a man who served out of Little Creek, and worked summer jobs loading a van line’s trucks out of Norfolk before he ever ran his own fleet. That background is why a tunnel backup gets built into the plan instead of showing up as a surprise at 4:45 in the afternoon.

Why Virginia Beach families call us for a PCS move against an Oceana or Little Creek report date, a Sandbridge cottage with tight HOA rules, or a cross-town move that has to beat bridge-tunnel traffic

In Writing, Every Time

The Short List We Hold Ourselves To

Not marketing copy — just what Dale and the crew commit to on every Hampton Roads job, whether the address is a Sandbridge cottage or a brick rancher in Kempsville.

One Number, Start to Finish

Whatever Dale or Kayla quotes on the phone is what prints on the invoice once the truck rolls up, bridge-tunnel toll and a flight of stairs at the new place already priced in.

Virginia-Registered, Fully Insured

Current Virginia household-goods registration stays on file, cargo coverage rides with every load, and any base housing office or property manager gets proof of it the same day they ask.

Payroll Crew, Not Day Labor

Everyone lifting a box for you draws a paycheck from JBR Moving Team directly — never a name pulled off a board that morning.

What You Sign Is What You Owe

Whatever slows a job down — bridge traffic, a hurricane-season reschedule, a tight turn near Croatan — stays off the invoice. Book the number Dale quotes, and that's exactly what's due once the truck is unloaded.

Same Crew, Start to Finish

Nobody hands your things off to another company partway through the job. The crew loading the truck at your old address is the same crew carrying it into the new one.

We Call Before You Have To Ask

Arrival windows are built with room to spare. If the job ahead of yours runs long, Sean's dispatch desk calls before your window closes, and we make the delay worth your while.
