Route overview
East along the Gulf on I-10 through Beaumont, south Louisiana, the Mississippi coast and Mobile, north on I-65 to Montgomery, then I-85 through Atlanta and the Carolinas and up into Virginia for the last stretch to Hampton Roads.
Both ends of this trip face hurricane coasts. In storm season a Gulf system can shut I-10 near the start, and one riding up the Atlantic can stall the Virginia Beach end, so leave give in any summer or fall date.
Hampton Roads has several large military bases, and getting a carrier onto one is often not practical. For a delivery to base housing, the handover usually happens just outside the main gate.
