Below are the questions we hear most often from people booking a move with High Tech Movers — about how our barcode and GPS tracking actually works, how pricing is set, and what our licensing covers. If you don’t see your question here, call (504) 289-7734 and Adele or Theo can walk you through it.
Are you an actual moving company, or do you just refer me to one?
We're a real, licensed moving company with our own trucks and our own employed crews based in New Orleans — we're not a broker or a referral service that hands your job off to a subcontractor. When you book with High Tech Movers, our crew shows up, our truck does the driving, and our scan sheet tracks the shipment start to finish.
How does the barcode and GPS tracking actually work?
When Adele sets up your estimate, she builds a digital inventory sheet for your move. At pickup, our crew scans a barcode onto each box and major piece of furniture and photographs its condition before it goes on the truck. The truck itself carries a GPS tracker that sends a live position to your phone, so you can see roughly where it is on I-10 or the Causeway. At delivery, every item gets scanned back off and the condition photo gets checked against the one taken at pickup.
How does pricing and the estimate process work?
Adele Broussard handles most estimates herself, either in person or over video, and walks the house or apartment room by room before quoting a price. Local moves are typically priced hourly with a crew-size and truck fee, while long-distance moves are quoted by weight and distance. Either way, you get a written estimate before move day — no surprise line items added after the truck is loaded.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. High Tech Movers is a fully licensed and insured Louisiana household-goods carrier, permitted through the Louisiana Public Service Commission. We carry standard cargo and liability coverage on every shipment, local or long-distance.
Do you handle long-distance moves, or just local?
Both. We run scheduled long-distance moves to Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Hattiesburg, Gulfport, Mobile, Jackson, Houston, and Memphis, with our long-haul driver Corbin Arceneaux handling most of the Gulf Coast runs himself and GPS tracking active for the whole drive.
What actually makes your tracking different from a normal moving company?
Most moving companies still track a shipment on a paper inventory list, if they track it at all. Remy Fontenot built High Tech Movers around freight-industry tools instead — every item gets a barcode scan and a condition photo at pickup and again at delivery, and the truck's location is visible to the customer in real time rather than a promised arrival window.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks out gives us the most flexibility on crew size and truck availability, especially in summer and around the fall when hurricane season can shift schedules on short notice. That said, we keep some flexibility in the calendar specifically because moves don't always happen on a tidy timeline.
Can you do a last-minute move?
Often, yes. We take last-minute moves regularly — a lease falling through, a storm watch moving your date up, a closing that got rescheduled. Call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can fit you in this week or need to find the next open slot.
