Moving from Virginia to Tennessee means crossing state lines, so any mover you hire must hold active interstate authority from the FMCSA. Between the largest cities of the two states—Virginia Beach and Nashville—the road distance is about 707 miles, which puts a typical move in the long-distance move bracket with a delivery window of 2 to 5 days.
Virginia has about 8.6 million residents and Tennessee about 6.9 million. Living and labor costs are noticeably lower in Tennessee, so services bought at the destination (unpacking, storage, cleaning) usually cost less than in Virginia. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, while Virginia does.
