Your home rides alone on one AD Movers truck down I-10 and comes off in San Antonio with the same crew that loaded it in New Orleans. We're a licensed and insured New Orleans to San Antonio moving company (license #8127): flat price set before loading, delivery date in writing, no warehouse stop on the way.
Instant Price Estimate
A San Antonio price is built from your home, not a mileage chart: its size, the stairs or elevators at both ends, how far the truck parks from each door, and whether we pack. The tool below gives a ballpark in about 60 seconds. A quick walkthrough of your place then sets the flat price before loading, and nothing is added after that without your OK. No reweigh in Texas, no fuel line on the bill.

How Our Pricing Works
Tap your home size, the stairs at each end and if you want packing. The ballpark for San Antonio shows right on this page, and nobody has to call you back first.
We look at what is actually going, from the armoire upstairs to the garage shelves and the patio set, and set the flat price from that. On a 540-mile run, a guess over the phone is how people end up arguing in a driveway in Bexar County.
Once the walkthrough is done, the number holds. A slow crawl through Houston, a backed-up Loop 1604 or a longer carry at the new place is ours to absorb, not a line added to your bill.
Load day in New Orleans, delivery the next day in San Antonio for most homes, on a date set at booking. Severe weather on I-10 is the one thing that moves it.
The online number is a ballpark. The walkthrough sets the flat price, and it only changes if something changes before then: more furniture, different stairs or elevators, added packing or a new date.
What We Move on the New Orleans → San Antonio Route
The whole trip is I-10, about 540 miles through Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Houston and Seguin. The homes at the far end vary a lot: Alamo Heights has older houses on tree-lined streets, Alamo Ranch on the far west side is newer subdivisions, and Southtown mixes old houses with apartments. One crew loads, drives and unloads, at one flat price.
From a one-bedroom in Mid-City to a four-bedroom in Old Metairie, we move the whole house in one truckload, door to door, and you know the delivery day before the first box goes on.
A studio or a few rooms still gets its own truck and its own date. We don't hold small loads in New Orleans until enough other freight turns up to fill a trailer headed for Texas.
Add packing and the crew brings cartons, paper and pads and wraps everything for a long highway ride. Candles, vinyl records and electronics get packed with the Texas heat in mind, and none of it sits in a hot terminal.
Starting a job at USAA, in the Medical Center or downtown? We book the elevator or loading dock at both ends and give you an itemized written quote your employer's relocation team can use.
AD Movers vs. National Van Lines
Most online quotes for this route come from national van lines and the brokers who resell to them. Plenty of their crews do fine work, but the way long-distance freight is usually run, with shared trailers, terminals and wide delivery windows, causes the problems below. Here is how a single-truck move compares, line by line.
Not every national mover works this way, but these are the complaints that come up most in long-distance reviews. On a one-highway, roughly 8-hour drive like New Orleans to San Antonio, you don't need to accept any of them.
Real Long-Distance Moving Complaints — Solved
Read long-distance moving reviews or the threads on Reddit's r/moving and the same complaints keep coming back. Here are the common ones, and how running one truck straight down I-10 takes each one off the table for a San Antonio move.
A familiar story with large carriers: the delivery window passes, the shipment is still sitting in a depot, and the customer is told it will be released once another payment clears.
✔Your load never leaves our truck. It's loaded in New Orleans and driven straight to San Antonio — no warehouse, no consolidation terminal, no "waiting for the route to fill." You get a set delivery date in writing.
Many Texas-bound movers quote low with a non-binding estimate, then add weight charges after the truck is full. The final bill ends up well above the quote.
✔Flat rate, locked at booking. Your New Orleans → San Antonio price is agreed after the walkthrough, before we roll. No weight charges, no fuel surcharge, and nothing added on delivery day without your OK.
Plenty of people book a Texas move online and find out later it went to a broker. The crew that shows up is a stranger to them and to the broker.
✔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 San Antonio. One accountable company from door to door.
Shipments that get combined and moved between depots on the way to Texas can end up scuffed or missing a box, and the claim drags for months.
✔One truck, your door to San Antonio. We pad and strap your load once and leave it alone until we unload, with no depot transfer in Houston. Fully insured, and a real person answers if you need to file a claim.
A mover who wants a big, non-refundable payment up front is a warning sign. Consumer guides and review sites point to it again and again.
✔A small hold, not a big payment. Your San Antonio date is booked without a large check up front. You pay the rest once the job is done right and on time.
Consolidated long-distance moves park your belongings in a terminal between legs — and South Texas 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 San Antonio door — no terminal, no warehouse, no two weeks in the heat. Loaded once, unloaded once.
Big van lines often give a delivery spread of a week or more for Texas, so you can't plan a start date, school enrollment or the CPS Energy hookup.
✔A real date, not a window. New Orleans to San Antonio is one straight run on I-10. 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.

Leaving New Orleans — The Half Nobody Plans For
Delivering in San Antonio is the easier half. Loading out of a New Orleans house is where a long-distance move loses a day if nobody planned it. We've done pickups across Greater New Orleans since 2013, and these are the four things we sort out before the truck heads west on I-10.
In Bywater, the Marigny, the Irish Channel and Mid-City, rooms open one into the next with no hallway, and the front door usually sits at the top of a stoop. A queen box spring won't pass through flat. We measure the front-room turn before anything heavy moves, pad the door jambs, and stand tall pieces on end to clear the frame. The same crew unloads in San Antonio, so whatever got the dresser out is exactly how it goes into the new house.
Much of Lakeview and Gentilly, and plenty of homes rebuilt after Katrina, sit up on piers: a full flight of steps before the front door, for every box and every piece of furniture. We put enough people on the carry and lay stair protection so the steps don't stretch load day into a second one. Mention them in the price tool and they're in the flat price before the truck leaves for Texas.
From the first Uptown parades to Fat Tuesday, St. Charles, Napoleon and Magazine close for hours, and no-parking signs go up along the routes days ahead. We check the parade schedule before we set a load date, then shift you a day, start earlier, or load from a cross street outside the barricades. San Antonio is a next-day delivery either way, so moving the load morning rarely changes the day your furniture arrives.
Jazz Fest weekends fill Mid-City and Esplanade, French Quarter Fest fills the Quarter, Essence fills the CBD around the Superdome, and street parking disappears. We know those dates and schedule your load around them, because a truck parked two blocks away adds hours of hand-carrying before the long drive even starts. Picking a different weekend costs you nothing.
Moving to San Antonio — What Locals Wish They'd Known
Most New Orleans families we move to San Antonio are going for work at Joint Base San Antonio, USAA or the Medical Center, plus no state income tax and a lower cost of living. Here is the good part, the local realities, and how we plan the delivery around them.
The River Walk and the Pearl, the Spanish missions on the south side, breakfast tacos on every corner, Spurs games and Fiesta every April. It's a big city that still feels relaxed, Texas has no state income tax, and housing costs run well below most coastal metros.
Summer afternoons in San Antonio often pass 100°. We start unloading early, rotate the crew on long carries, and keep the truck doors shut between trips, so furniture and electronics aren't sitting in the sun on the driveway.
Older neighborhoods like King William, Southtown and Monte Vista have narrow streets, few driveways and little room for a big truck. We look at the delivery address before move day, and when a 26-foot truck won't fit, we plan a shorter carry or a smaller shuttle truck so the crew isn't circling the block.
Much of the city's growth sits out between Loop 410 and Loop 1604, so a new place in Stone Oak or Alamo Ranch can be a long drive from downtown. We time the arrival around rush hour on I-35, I-10 and 1604. On a flat price, traffic is our problem, not a line on your invoice.
The Drive, Mile by Mile
About 540 miles, all of them on I-10. Here is how the San Antonio run is actually driven.
I-10 runs from New Orleans to San Antonio with no change of highway. It bogs down in Baton Rouge and again in Houston, so we time the truck to get through both outside their rush hours.
Fort Sam Houston, Lackland and Randolph check every vehicle at the gate. Our crew doesn't hold military IDs, so an on-base delivery needs a sponsor and a stop at the Visitor Control Center. Give us about two weeks' notice and we'll send names and ID details for the pass paperwork. This is for moves you arrange yourself; we aren't a government-contracted carrier for official PCS shipments.
Most addresses are reached from Loop 410 or Loop 1604, and both back up at the usual hours. Deliveries to Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch and New Braunfels are scheduled around them.
