When a date falls through, call us — if a crew is free today, you will know on the first call.
What We Offer
Same-day moving is a capacity question, not a marketing promise. Either a crew and a truck are free this afternoon or they aren't, and we'll tell you which within a few minutes instead of taking a deposit and calling back. Here is what usually fits into a same-day slot in New Orleans.
Call before noon and we can usually put a two-mover crew on it the same afternoon, once the morning jobs wrap. Call later than that and the honest answer is usually tomorrow morning, and we'll say so.
Studios, one-bedrooms and small two-bedrooms fit a same-day slot, because a crew can load, drive and unload them before 7pm. A four-bedroom house won't fit in an afternoon, so we'd book it for the next opening instead.
Court-ordered move-out dates don't slide. We've done these, we don't need the backstory, and if today can't be done we tell you right away so you can make another plan in time.
House to unit, unit to house, or unit to unit. Usually the easiest same-day job to fit in, because the load is often boxed already and there's no furniture to take apart.
What a Same-Day Move Includes
Rated 4.8 across 115 Google reviews and 200+ across all platforms. Read the reviews. Here is what is in the price when you book today.
You get an answer in minutes, not a callback tomorrow. A maybe is worthless when you're moving today, so if the day is genuinely full, we say that and offer the next real opening.
A same-day crew is usually two movers with an AD Movers truck. If your load really needs a third mover, we say so on the call instead of sending two and running long.
Short notice changes whether we're available, not what we charge. Same-day jobs use our normal hourly rate, the same every day of the week, with no rush fee and no fuel surcharge.
Why Choose AD Movers
We've taken same-day calls across the New Orleans metro since 2013, part of more than 1,000 moves. Here's what doesn't change when the notice is short.
How It Works
Call or get a ballpark online. We tell you yes or no within minutes, and if it's yes, you get a start time for that day.
Get a ballpark from the form above in about 60 seconds, then call 504-237-0855 so we can check if a crew can get to you today.
If a crew is free, we'll give you a start time that day. If not, we'll offer you the next opening on the calendar.
The crew loads, drives and unloads. Same-day jobs go fastest when boxes are packed and taped and there's a spot for the truck near your door before we pull up.
Your Moving Crew
We can say yes on short notice when a crew finishes a morning job early or another booking moves. That's the whole trick, and it's why availability changes hour to hour. It's also why we'll tell you no when the day is genuinely full, rather than promising an afternoon and showing up at 8pm.

Equipped for Every Move
Each truck carries moving blankets, dollies, straps, shrink wrap and floor runners every day, so a same-day job doesn't wait on a supply stop. Ask on the call and we'll bring boxes and tape too. Packing a whole house in one afternoon usually isn't realistic, but finishing the last few rooms is.

Areas We Serve
Orleans and Jefferson Parish moves can usually happen the same day. Northshore and River Parishes jobs usually go the next morning, because the drive across the Causeway or up I-10 takes a big piece of the afternoon.
Common Questions
Local moves are billed by the hour, and a same-day job uses the same hourly rate as any other day. The total depends on how much is going, stairs, how far the truck parks, the drive between addresses and any packing. The price tool gives a ballpark in about 60 seconds, and the final price is confirmed with you before we start.
Sometimes. It depends on a crew freeing up after the morning jobs, so call (504) 237-0855 early, ideally before noon. If a crew is free, you get a start time on that call. If not, we tell you the next opening. Weekends and the last days of the month are the hardest days to get same-day help.
Studios, one-bedrooms, small two-bedrooms, storage-unit runs and single heavy pieces fit best, because a crew can finish them before 7pm. Larger houses usually need a full day booked ahead. Tell us roughly what's going and how many stairs are involved, and we'll say honestly if it fits into today or should go on the next open morning.
No. Short notice affects whether we have a crew free, not the rate. A same-day move is billed at our normal hourly rate, which is the same seven days a week, with no rush fee, no weekend surcharge and no fuel surcharge. Tips are optional, and if you leave one it goes 100% to the movers.
Yes. AD Movers is licensed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, LPSC license #8127, and every full move is insured, including one booked this morning. Our crews are background-checked employees who answer to the owner, not day labor found for the afternoon. Verify with LPSC.
Pack and tape what you can, even if soft things go in bags, and set aside anything that isn't coming. Figure out where the truck can park: a driveway, a loading zone or a spot held with your own cars. If your building has an elevator, reserve it. Each of those saves time on the clock and keeps the move inside the afternoon.
Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes first: the city, Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, Chalmette and the West Bank. Northshore, River Parishes and Baton Rouge jobs we take when the schedule allows, usually the next morning. Moves across state lines need more lead time than same day; see our long-distance moves for how those are planned.
You get a straight yes or no fast, because a maybe is worthless when you're moving today. If we commit to this afternoon, we're there this afternoon, at our normal hourly rate, with the final price confirmed before we start. Short notice is never a reason to charge more at the door.
