Everything you own rides west on I-10 in a truck nobody else's boxes go on, with the crew that packed it at the wheel. As a licensed and insured New Orleans to Houston moving company, we confirm a flat price at a quick walkthrough and write your Houston delivery date down before loading starts.
Instant Price Estimate
Two homes the same size can hold very different loads, so the Houston price starts with your answers: bedrooms, stairs or elevators at each end, and packing. The tool below returns a ballpark figure in about a minute. A quick walkthrough turns it into a flat price, and that is the amount due once the truck is empty in Houston.

How Our Pricing Works
Pick the home size and answer a few access questions. The figure appears on this page, so you can line it up against other Houston quotes the same evening.
A crew lead walks the rooms with you, notes the heavy pieces and looks at the street out front. On a 350-mile haul, seeing the actual furniture is what makes a flat price possible.
Once you approve it, the Houston price is fixed. No fuel add-on, no reweigh and no new charge when the truck backs into your driveway in Katy or the Heights.
Most Houston loads are delivered the next day. Small moves that load early can often be unloaded the same evening. Either way the date is set in advance, weather allowing.
Treat the number as a starting point. The walkthrough confirms the Houston flat price, which can move up or down with your inventory, stairs or elevators, packing and the date you pick.
What We Move on the New Orleans → Houston Route
The run is about 350 miles west on I-10: across the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge, past Lake Charles, over the Sabine into Texas and on through Beaumont. Where you land shapes the unload. A Heights bungalow may have a narrow drive, a Katy house usually has a wide garage, and a Midtown tower means booked elevator time.
From a studio to a 4-bedroom house, door to door from anywhere in Greater New Orleans to Houston and its suburbs. One truck carries the whole household, and you know the delivery date before we load.
A studio, a 1-bedroom or a few rooms? When the load-out starts early, a small move can leave New Orleans in the morning and be unloaded in Houston that evening. Nothing waits for the truck to fill with someone else's things.
Add full or partial packing and the crew brings boxes, paper and pads. Dishes, lamps and art get wrapped for five-plus hours of interstate, bridge joints included, not a quick hop across town.
Starting a job in the Energy Corridor, the Texas Medical Center or downtown? We book elevator time, send the certificate of insurance the building asks for and handle employee relocations.
AD Movers vs. National Van Lines
Request a New Orleans to Houston quote online and most replies come from national van lines and brokers. Many are large, established companies, but shared trucks and terminal transfers cause the problems in this table. Here is how one truck going straight down I-10 compares.
Not every national mover works this way, but these are the complaints that come up most in long-distance reviews. On a route as short as New Orleans to Houston, about five and a half hours, there is no reason to put up with them.
Common Long-Distance Complaints
These are the complaints people post most often about long moves on Reddit's r/moving and on review sites. Next to each one is what changes when a Houston move rides on a single AD Movers truck.
People describe paying a warehouse to release their furniture after the delivery window had already passed, with no firm answer on when it would show up.
✔No layover on I-10. We load in New Orleans, cross the Sabine at Orange and the same truck backs up to your Houston address. Nothing waits at a terminal for a route to fill, and the delivery date is in writing.
The classic version is a non-binding estimate that grows after the truck is loaded, usually explained by a reweigh, leaving a bill well above the quote.
✔The price is set before departure. Your New Orleans → Houston price is confirmed at the walkthrough. No scale ticket, no fuel surcharge and no new demand at delivery. Anything you add later is priced and approved by you first.
Many websites that sell moves are brokers, and customers often find out only when an unfamiliar crew from some other company shows up.
✔We are the mover, not a broker. AD Movers employees load you in New Orleans, and those same people unload you in Houston. One company answers for the whole move.
Every reload at a terminal is another chance for boxes to be crushed, shuffled or lost, and the claims afterward can drag on for months.
✔Handled once on each end. Furniture is padded and strapped for the highway, loaded in New Orleans and not touched again until Houston. The move is insured with general liability and cargo coverage, and any claim goes straight to us.
A large non-refundable deposit before anything is scheduled is a well-known warning sign of a rogue mover, and review sites flag it again and again.
✔A small deposit holds the date. Reserving your Houston move does not take a large payment, and the balance is due after the move is complete.
On consolidated moves, belongings can sit in a terminal between legs, and many Gulf Coast warehouses aren't climate-controlled. Wood can swell, candles and vinyl records soften, and electronics sit in heavy humidity.
✔Nothing goes into storage. The truck leaves New Orleans and heads for your Houston door. No terminal and no two weeks in the heat: loaded once, unloaded once.
Many van lines deliver somewhere inside a 10 to 20 business-day spread, which makes planning work, school or utilities in Houston a guessing game.
✔A day, not a spread. Houston is a single day's drive. We commit to a delivery day so you can schedule the power, the internet and time off without living out of a suitcase.

“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. They did a great job.”
“AD Movers was fantastic!! They loaded up my apartment, made a second stop for more furniture, and unloaded everything fast and skillfully. Wonderful company, employees, and customer service!!”
“Wonderful experience. Movers were very helpful and even got a large treadmill downstairs without having to disassemble. Great group of workers!”
The New Orleans End of the Move
People worry about the Houston end. The part that usually goes wrong is this one: loading a full truck on a New Orleans block that was laid out long before trucks existed. We've handled pickups across Greater New Orleans since 2013, and this is what we sort out before the truck turns west on I-10.
Carnival parades close St. Charles, Napoleon and Magazine for hours at a stretch, and parking along the routes is restricted well before the floats roll. We check your date against the parade schedule before booking and shift to another day, an earlier start or a load from the cross street. With Houston only five and a half hours out, that usually costs you a morning, not a week.
In a Bywater, Marigny, Irish Channel or Mid-City shotgun, one room opens into the next and the front door sits up a stoop. A queen box spring won't go through flat, so we pad the door jambs, take beds and table legs apart where needed and measure the front-room turn before carrying anything. The same crew unloads in Houston, so nobody has to figure out your furniture twice.
Royal, Chartres and Dumaine are one-way, barely a lane wide and have no driveways, so a full-size truck can't work them. We look at the address ahead of time, bring a smaller shuttle truck to your door and transfer the load to the highway truck where it can legally park. The shuttle only runs on the New Orleans end. From there the big truck goes straight to Houston.
From June through November the forecast is part of the plan. We watch the Gulf and I-10 in the days before your move and wrap against pop-up afternoon storms all year. If a storm is really heading our way, we move you earlier rather than risk the delivery date, because an evacuation puts half the city on the same road to Houston.
Moving to Houston — What Locals Wish They'd Known
Most New Orleans families we move to Houston are going for work in the Energy Corridor or the Texas Medical Center, or for Texas having no state income tax. Here is the honest picture, and how each local reality changes the way we run move day.
Houston is one of the most varied food cities in the country, and each part of town has its own feel, from the Heights and Montrose to Katy and Sugar Land. There is no state income tax, and the winters are mild enough to spend January outside.
Summer brings 90-degree days with heavy humidity. We start Houston unloads early, rotate the crew and keep water on the truck, and we stage the load so the doors aren't standing open while your furniture bakes in the driveway.
Flat, fast-growing Houston floods in heavy rain. We keep boxes off wet garage slabs, wrap and raise anything that soaks up water, and watch the radar along I-10 so the delivery date holds.
The city covers more than 600 square miles and has no zoning, so the new place can be a long way from downtown. We plan the arrival around I-10, I-45 and 610 rush hours. On a flat price, sitting in traffic is our cost, not a surcharge for you.
The Drive, Mile by Mile
For most of its length the Houston drive is easy interstate. Three stretches can turn a bad hour into a bad day, and this is how we handle each one.
Between Baton Rouge and Lafayette, I-10 runs about 18 miles of bridge raised over the swamp with almost no shoulder. One wreck up there stops everything behind it, so we check traffic before leaving and plan the load-out to cross early.
The Mississippi River bridge at Baton Rouge is the slowest point on the trip. We time the truck to cross outside the morning and evening rush, which can decide if your furniture arrives that evening or the next morning.
The Sam Houston Tollway, the Westpark Tollway and the Hardy Toll Road are cashless. If a toll road is the quickest way to your door we use it, and the toll is part of the flat price, never a line item afterwards.

Built for the 350-Mile Run
The truck carries blankets, hand trucks, dollies and highway straps, and the crew plans for the Houston humidity and summer afternoon storms that can slow an unload. No broker resells this job. As a licensed and insured New Orleans to Houston moving company, we load a truck that's yours alone and drive it all the way to the new place.

Routes & Areas We Serve
Pickups happen anywhere in Greater New Orleans, and deliveries anywhere in the Houston metro. Headed to another Texas city or out of state? These routes run too.
Coming the Other Way
The route runs both ways. Many families we bring home are finishing a job in the Energy Corridor or the Medical Center, and the New Orleans end is where Texas-based movers tend to struggle.
The crew that loads you in Katy, Sugar Land or the Heights drives your household to New Orleans and unloads it themselves. Nobody hands your things to a local company at the state line.
Shotgun doubles, raised houses with tall stoops, one-way Marigny blocks and CBD elevator bookings: we work out the New Orleans delivery before the truck leaves Houston.
The flat price works the same way as on the westbound run: home size, the drive and the access, confirmed before we load. Call 504-237-0855 to price a Houston pickup.
Common Questions
We arrive when we said we would. Nothing else rides on your truck. Delivery happens on the date we set, at the flat price you approved, with no reweigh, storage delay or added fee. Severe weather or a road closure outside anyone's control is the only exception, and if one comes up, we call you first.
