Virginia's escort rules split by road type. On non-interstate roads, a home over 12 feet wide needs a front and a rear escort; over 14 feet, two front and one rear; over 16 feet, two front and two rear. On interstates, over 12 feet needs one rear escort, and over 14 feet a front and a rear. A home over 14 feet 5 inches tall — or a manufactured home over 15 feet — also needs a front escort with a height pole.

The transport permit belongs to the mover — the carrier is the named permittee. As a concierge move, the licensed carrier holds the permit for you.

The installation permit is issued locally to the applicant, and a DPOR-licensed Manufactured Home Contractor provides the Certificate of Installation. The local code official then issues the Certificate of Occupancy. Transport and installation are separate licensed roles.
