About Us

History

In the fall of 1987, John Lugar and a friend moved a family to Florida during a college break for the adventure and $300. This trip led to the founding of Virginia Varsity Transfer based on becoming the “good guys” of the moving industry; clean-cut, professional and honest.

Varsity team history

Upon Lugar’s graduation in 1991, the company became a full-time operation. Throughout the next decade, Virginia Varsity acquired national licensing, grew its staff, expanded its fleet, built a headquarters - and developed an outstanding reputation.

Today, Virginia Varsity operates numerous storage facilities, employs a staff of approximately 50, and is headquartered in Salem, VA. The company has received many awards and widespread recognition for its customer service and ethical business practices. Virginia Varsity continues to reinvest heavily in training, equipment and professional development in the ongoing pursuit of delivering an ever-higher level of service to its customers.
