How Our Pricing Works
Tell us your home size and move details and the instant price tool returns a close, guaranteed-style number in seconds — no waiting on a callback.
A short on-site walkthrough confirms your inventory so we can lock your final flat rate — the fair, accurate way to price a 350-mile move.
Once confirmed, your price is locked. No delivery-day increases, no fuel surcharges, no "reweigh" games like the national van lines run.
Next-day on most moves, same-day possible on small moves booked early — all on a guaranteed delivery date, weather permitting.
The instant price is a very close, guaranteed-style estimate; a quick on-site estimate is required to confirm your final flat rate. Pricing varies with inventory, stairs/elevators, packing, and date.

AD Movers vs. National Van Lines
Most "New Orleans to Houston" quotes online come from national van lines and brokers — think United, Mayflower, Allied, Atlas Van Lines, or freight-style services like ABF U-Pack. They're big names, but the way most of them run long-distance moves creates the exact headaches below. Here's the difference that actually matters when your whole life is on the truck — side by side.
Not every national mover does all of this — but these are the most common long-distance complaints people report online. On a short ~5.5-hour route like New Orleans to Houston, there's simply no reason to accept them.
Real Long-Distance Moving Complaints — Solved
Spend ten minutes in moving forums, Reddit's r/moving, or the BBB complaint pages and the same long-distance nightmares repeat. Here are the big ones people report — and exactly how the AD Movers dedicated-truck model removes the risk on your New Orleans to Houston move.
Complaints describe belongings stuck in a warehouse past the delivery window — the FMCSA can fine movers up to $10,000/day for holding goods hostage.
✔Your load never leaves our truck. It's loaded in New Orleans and driven straight to Houston — no warehouse, no consolidation terminal, no "waiting for the route to fill." You get a guaranteed delivery date in writing.
A top complaint on interstate moves: a non-binding estimate that balloons after loading or a "reweigh," and you owe far more than quoted.
✔Flat rate, locked at booking. Your New Orleans → Houston price is agreed before we roll. No weight games, no surprise fuel surcharges, no delivery-day ransom. What we quote is what you pay.
Many people don't realize they hired a broker, not a carrier. A different, unvetted crew arrives and service is inconsistent.
✔We're the carrier, not a broker. The AD Movers crew that loads you in New Orleans is the same crew that unloads you in Houston. One accountable company from door to door.
When loads are consolidated and reloaded across terminals, items get shuffled, crushed, and lost — and claims often get denied or dragged out.
✔Loaded once, delivered once. Blanket-wrapped and secured for highway travel, your items are handled a single time — not reloaded at three terminals. Fully insured, with a claims process that actually answers.
Large non-refundable deposits are a classic rogue-mover red flag flagged by the FMCSA and movers on every review site.
✔No big upfront deposit. You reserve your date without handing over a fortune. We earn the balance by showing up on time and doing the job right.
Consolidated long-distance moves park your belongings in a terminal between legs — and Gulf Coast warehouses are rarely climate-controlled. Wood warps, candles and vinyl melt, and electronics don't love 100° storage.
✔Your things never go into storage. We load in New Orleans and drive straight to your Houston door — no terminal, no warehouse, no two weeks in the heat. Loaded once, unloaded once.
Van lines commonly give a spread of 10–20 business days for delivery, so you can't schedule work, school, or utilities with any certainty.
✔A real date, not a window. New Orleans to Houston is one short drive. We commit to a delivery day so you can set up utilities, take time off, and be ready — no living out of a suitcase for two weeks.

“These movers are the best!! They helped me with a complicated move from out of state. They had a great attitude and were very professional. From the moment I reached out to request a quote, through the whole moving process, they were very responsive, accommodating, and helpful.”
“These guys worked for 5.5h, in the. New Orleans heat! They were awesome, and even though I was way off in how long I thought it would take, the estimate they gave me was exactly right.”
“There are so many horror stories about moving companies, but AD Movers were great. The company itself is very easy to work with. The team of movers they sent were wonderful.”
Leaving New Orleans — The Half Nobody Plans For
Everybody obsesses over the Houston end of the move. The half that actually goes wrong is this one — getting a full truck loaded out of a New Orleans block that was laid out in 1840. We've been doing pickups across Greater New Orleans since 2013, so here's what we plan for before we ever point the truck west on I-10.
From the first Uptown krewes through Fat Tuesday, St. Charles, Napoleon and Magazine shut down for hours at a time, and the city drops no-parking and tow-away signs along the whole route days ahead. We pull your move off the parade calendar before we book it — different day, earlier window, or a load-out from the cross street the barricades don't reach. On a 5.5-hour run to Houston that usually just means a different morning, not a different week.
Bywater, Marigny, Irish Channel, Mid-City — room opens into room, no hallway, and the front door sits at the top of a stoop. A queen box spring will not go through flat. We bring the split frames and the door-jamb protection, and we measure the turn at the front room before anything comes off the truck instead of finding out halfway in. Same crew does the reverse in Houston, so nothing gets re-learned at the other end.
Royal, Chartres, Dumaine — one-way, barely a lane wide, no driveway, and delivery-hour rules on top of it. A full-size rig cannot work those blocks. We scout the address first and run a smaller shuttle truck to the door, then transfer to the line-haul truck where it can legally sit. Nobody circles the block on your clock. The shuttle happens on the New Orleans end only — the line-haul truck runs straight to Houston from there.
June through November, the forecast is part of the plan. We watch the Gulf and the route before your date, wrap and seal against a pop-up afternoon storm year-round, and if something is genuinely spinning we move you earlier rather than gamble your guaranteed delivery date on it. I-10 west is the first road to close in a Gulf storm, which is exactly why we watch it.
Moving to Houston — What Locals Wish They'd Known
Most New Orleans families we move to Houston are chasing the same things: work in the Energy Corridor or the Texas Medical Center, no state income tax, and a dollar that stretches further at the pump and the grocery store. Here's the honest picture — the good, the local realities, and exactly how we work around them on move day.
Houston is one of the great eating cities in America and it's genuinely diverse — every neighborhood has its own character, from the Heights and Montrose to Katy and Sugar Land. Add no state income tax, cheaper gas and groceries than the coasts, and winters so mild you'll actually want to be outside in January.
Summer means 90°+ with humidity that sits on you. We start Houston loads at sunrise, keep the crew hydrated and rotating, and stage the truck to limit how long doors stay open — so your furniture and your crew aren't baking in the driveway.
Houston floods — it's the trade-off for a flat, fast-growing city. We never set boxes down on a garage slab, we wrap and elevate anything absorbent, and we watch the forecast along I-10 so your guaranteed delivery date actually holds.
Houston covers 600+ square miles with no zoning, so your new place may be a long haul from your old one. We time arrival and unload windows around I-10 and I-45 rush hour — because on a flat rate, traffic is our problem to solve, not a surcharge on your invoice.
The Drive, Mile by Mile
Most movers quote Houston like it's a straight shot. It mostly is — except for three places on I-10 where a bad hour turns into a bad day. This is how we run them.
Between Baton Rouge and Lafayette, I-10 rides 18 miles of elevated bridge over the swamp with almost nowhere to pull over. One wreck up there stops everything behind it. We check it before the truck leaves and plan the load-out so we cross it early.
The Mississippi River bridge at Baton Rouge is the worst bottleneck on the whole trip. We time the truck to cross outside the morning and evening rush, which is often the difference between a same-day delivery and an evening one.
The Sam Houston Tollway, Westpark and Hardy are cashless. If the fastest way to your new door is a toll road, we take it — and the toll is inside your flat rate, not a line item after the fact.

Routes & Areas We Serve
We pick up anywhere in Greater New Orleans and deliver across the Houston metro. Moving to a different Texas city or another state? We run those routes too.
Coming the Other Way
We run this route both ways. A lot of the families we move back home are coming off a job transfer to the Energy Corridor or the Medical Center — and the New Orleans end is the part other Texas movers get wrong.
The crew that loads you in Katy, Sugar Land or the Heights drives your home straight to New Orleans and unloads it. No hand-off to a local company at the state line.
Shotgun doubles, raised houses with a stoop, one-way blocks in the Marigny, elevator reservations in the CBD: we plan your New Orleans delivery before we ever leave Houston.
Same flat-rate model as our New Orleans to Houston moves — your home size, the drive and the access, locked before we load. Call 504-237-0855 for a Houston pickup price.
