One truck, one crew and a flat price set before we load, from your New Orleans door to a Midtown tower, a Decatur bungalow or a house in Marietta. We're a licensed and insured New Orleans to Atlanta moving company (license #8127), and your things never sit in a warehouse on the way up I-59.
Instant Price Estimate
An Atlanta move is priced on what's in your home and how hard each end is to work: a third-floor walk-up in the Lower Garden District and a Midtown freight elevator take different crews. Answer a few taps below and a ballpark shows in about 60 seconds. A short walkthrough sets the flat price before loading, and it doesn't grow in Georgia unless you add something.

How Our Pricing Works
Pick your rooms, the stairs or elevator at each end and any packing. A ballpark for Atlanta appears on the page, with no callback to wait on.
A short walkthrough lets us see the sectional, the piano bench, the boxes in the attic, and set a flat price from that. Pricing 470 miles of interstate from a phone call is how quotes go wrong.
Once confirmed, the Atlanta price stays fixed. No fuel fee, no weight ticket, and nothing new on the bill when the truck backs up to your building.
Most Atlanta moves arrive the day after loading; bigger homes can take two. Either way you get a firm delivery date at booking, not a window, and only severe weather moves it.
The online figure is a ballpark. The walkthrough sets the flat price, which depends on your inventory, stairs or elevators at both ends, packing and the date you pick.
What We Move on the New Orleans → Atlanta Route
Atlanta is roughly 470 miles: up I-59 through Hattiesburg and Meridian, then east on I-20 through Birmingham. The far end might be a Midtown high-rise with a booked freight elevator, a split-level in Marietta or a Decatur one-bedroom. One crew loads, drives and unloads, with pads on every piece and the price set before the truck leaves.
A studio off Magazine or a four-bedroom in Kenner, moved door to door to Buckhead, Decatur, Smyrna, Sandy Springs or Alpharetta. Everything goes on one truck, and the delivery date is fixed before loading.
Moving into a Midtown or Buckhead tower? Send us the building's move-in rules and we get the Certificate of Insurance they ask for, help book the freight elevator, and plan for the loading-dock window so nobody is turned away at the door.
Full or partial packing, with cartons, paper and pads supplied. Everything is wrapped for a long interstate ride through Mississippi and Alabama, which is a different job from a ride across town.
Starting a job in Atlanta's corporate, film, tech or healthcare world? We move you to Midtown, Buckhead, Downtown or the suburbs outside I-285 on a fixed date, with an itemized written quote your employer can review.
AD Movers vs. National Van Lines
Search for a New Orleans to Atlanta mover and most results are national van lines, freight-container services and brokers. Many are fine companies, but the way long hauls are usually run, sharing trailers and holding loads between legs, is where the problems below start. Here is the side-by-side on what matters on move day.
Not every national company does all of these; they are just the complaints people post most about long moves. On a trip that is about seven hours of driving, there is no reason to put up with them.
Real Long-Distance Moving Complaints — Solved
Read r/moving or long-distance mover reviews for a few minutes and the same long-haul problems keep coming up. Below are the main ones, plus the one that is very Atlanta, and how one AD Movers truck driving straight up the interstate handles each.
People report their furniture held in storage well past the promised window, with the release tied to an extra payment nobody mentioned at booking.
✔Your things stay on one truck. Loaded in New Orleans, it heads up I-59 and I-20 through Birmingham to Atlanta, with no storage stop and no shared terminal. Your set delivery date comes in writing.
A frequent long-distance complaint: the estimate was non-binding, the truck gets reweighed, and the Atlanta bill comes in far above the quote.
✔Price set before we leave. Your Atlanta flat price is agreed in New Orleans after the walkthrough. No weight tickets, no fuel surcharge, no holding your sofa until you pay more, and nothing added without your OK.
Lots of customers find out too late that they booked a broker, not a carrier. A crew nobody checked shows up, and the quality is luck of the draw.
✔We're the carrier, not a broker. The AD Movers team that loads your truck at your door is the same team that unloads it in Atlanta. One company is responsible the whole way.
Loads that get split and reloaded at depots get bumped around, damaged and sometimes lost, and the claims process can stall or end in a denial.
✔One load, one unload. Your furniture is padded and strapped for the drive to Georgia and touched only at the start and the end, never moved between terminals. Fully insured, and claims get a real answer.
A large deposit you can't get back is one of the classic signs of a rogue mover, and consumer guides warn about it again and again.
✔Small deposit only. Book your Atlanta date without paying a big sum first. You pay the balance after we show up on time and do the work well.
A recurring Atlanta complaint: managed Midtown and Buckhead towers won't release the freight elevator without a Certificate of Insurance naming the building — and a building can turn a crew away without one.
✔We handle the building paperwork first. Send us the building's requirements and we arrange the COI naming whoever they list (building, management company, owner), help reserve the freight-elevator window and plan the loading dock, all before move day.
National carriers often give Atlanta deliveries a range of a week or more. That makes it hard to plan a new job start, school enrollment or Georgia Power service.
✔A delivery day you can plan around. Atlanta is one day's drive from New Orleans, so we commit to a specific day. Turn on the lights, book your day off and skip two weeks of living out of a bag.

Leaving New Orleans — The Half Nobody Plans For
Everybody plans the Atlanta end. The half that goes wrong is New Orleans: loading a full truck on a block laid out long before box trucks existed. We've been picking up across Greater New Orleans since 2013, and these are the four things we plan around before the truck turns onto I-59.
Carnival parades shut St. Charles, Napoleon and Magazine for hours, and tow-away signs go up along the route well before the floats roll. Before we confirm a load date we lay it against the parade schedule. If it collides, we load at first light, work from a side street past the barricades, or slide the load a day. Atlanta is a next-day delivery anyway, so the shift rarely touches your move-in.
A lot of Lakeview and Gentilly was rebuilt higher after Katrina, so the front door can sit a full flight of steps up. Every dresser and every box makes that climb down to the truck. We size the crew for the stairs and cover the treads, and when you mention the steps in the price tool they're already in the flat price, not a surprise on load day.
Uptown and Garden District oaks hang low over the street, and the streetcar runs down the neutral ground on St. Charles, so a tall truck can't just pull up anywhere. We choose the approach and which side to park on ahead of time and start those blocks early, before the avenue fills. Half an hour of planning beats losing half a day and pushing your Atlanta delivery.
Hurricane season runs June through November, so the forecast is part of planning any load date in those months. We watch the Gulf in the days before, wrap against the afternoon downpours that come any time of year, and if a storm is genuinely heading in, we talk to you about loading earlier. I-59 runs inland quickly, which makes Atlanta one of the easier routes to protect.
Moving to Atlanta — What Locals Wish They'd Known
The New Orleans families we move to Atlanta are usually following a job in corporate offices, film and TV, tech or healthcare. Here is what you're moving into, and how we handle Atlanta's quirks on delivery day.
Midtown puts Piedmont Park, 189 acres, at your door, with MARTA rail running to Hartsfield-Jackson. Buckhead has the dining and shopping, Decatur has a walkable town square, and East Atlanta Village gets you character and an actual yard. Coming from New Orleans, you'll notice the hills and the shade trees first.
Managed Midtown and Buckhead high-rises commonly won't release a freight elevator without a Certificate of Insurance naming the building. A missing COI is the usual reason crews get turned away, so we sort it, along with the elevator booking and dock time, before the truck leaves New Orleans.
Locals talk about living inside or outside the Perimeter, I-285, and its traffic can stretch a short hop into an hour. We set your unload window around rush hour on the Perimeter so the truck is moving when it should be, and your flat price doesn't change because Atlanta is busy.
Many intown streets are narrow and many newer buildings have garages a 26-foot truck can't enter. We look at the delivery address before move day and plan the dock approach, a curbside spot or a smaller shuttle truck, so nothing is improvised while you stand on the sidewalk.
The Drive, Mile by Mile
About 470 miles and one time zone. Here is what the Atlanta run involves once the truck leaves New Orleans.
Alabama runs on Central time, Georgia on Eastern, so the truck arrives an hour later on the Atlanta clock than the drive suggests. We give your delivery window in Atlanta time so the building manager and the elevator booking line up with it.
The route climbs I-59 through Hattiesburg and Meridian, then follows I-20 across Birmingham. We time the truck to miss Birmingham's downtown interchange at rush hour rather than sit in it with your whole house aboard.
I-75 and I-85 merge through the middle of Atlanta on the Downtown Connector, one of the city's worst bottlenecks. Midtown and Buckhead deliveries are timed around it, and you get a realistic arrival window before we leave New Orleans.

Routes & Areas We Serve
We pick up anywhere in Greater New Orleans and deliver across metro Atlanta, inside and outside the Perimeter. If you're headed somewhere else, these routes work the same way.
Coming the Other Way
We run this route both ways. Coming home from Atlanta usually means trading a high-rise or a townhome for a house with a stoop and no driveway — and that's the end we know best.
Certificates of insurance, freight elevator windows and loading-dock rules in Midtown and Buckhead towers: send us the building's move-out requirements and we sort them before pickup day.
Raised houses, narrow Uptown blocks, streetcar lines and parade calendars: your New Orleans delivery is planned before the truck leaves Atlanta.
Same flat-rate model as our New Orleans to Atlanta moves, locked before we load. Call 504-237-0855 for an Atlanta pickup price.
Common Questions
We arrive when we said, your load rides by itself, we deliver on the agreed date and the bill matches the flat price. No reweigh, no storage stop, nothing added at the end without your OK. Only bad weather or a road closure outside anyone's control moves the date. If something isn't right, you call the owner's office directly.
