High Tech Movers runs scheduled long-distance moves out of New Orleans to eight regional destinations, and one driver, Corbin Arceneaux, handles most of the long-haul runs personally. He’s been driving for us since 2021 and knows the I-10 and I-59 corridors well enough to plan around weigh stations, construction stretches, and Gulf Coast weather without it turning into a delay nobody saw coming.

Routes we run

  • Baton Rouge, LA — 80 miles via I-10, about 1.25 hours
  • Lafayette, LA — 135 miles via I-10, about 2 hours
  • Hattiesburg, MS — 110 miles via I-59, about 1.75 hours
  • Gulfport, MS — 75 miles via I-10, about 1.25 hours
  • Mobile, AL — 145 miles via I-10, about 2.25 hours
  • Jackson, MS — 185 miles via I-55, about 3 hours
  • Houston, TX — 350 miles via I-10, about 5.5 hours
  • Memphis, TN — 390 miles via I-55, about 6 hours

Tracked the whole drive, not just at the ends

Every long-distance shipment gets the same barcode inventory scan at pickup that a local move gets, but the GPS piece matters more once the truck is four or five hours from New Orleans. Corbin’s truck feeds a live position to the customer’s phone for the entire route, so instead of a vague “sometime Thursday” window, you can watch the truck cross into Mississippi or clear Baton Rouge and know roughly when to expect a knock on the door.

Why one driver on the long runs matters

Corbin drives the Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Gulf Coast runs himself often enough that he knows the difference between a normal Friday on I-10 and one where the Causeway approach is backed up before he’s even loaded. That’s the kind of judgment a rotating pool of subcontracted drivers doesn’t build up — he’s the one behind the wheel, and he’s the one you can ask when you call to check on a shipment already on the road.

Why Greater New Orleans books this crew

What sets High Tech Movers apart

Every item on the truck is logged before it leaves your driveway, and you can watch the pin move on a map until the last box is carried through your new front door.

Every Item Gets A Barcode

Before the truck backs out of your driveway, Desmond’s crew has scanned every box and piece of furniture into a digital inventory log. The same barcode gets scanned again at delivery, so there’s a timestamped record of what left and what arrived.

Watch The Truck, Not The Clock

You get a live GPS link the morning of your move, the same way freight gets tracked in transit. Instead of a wide arrival window and a guess, you can watch the truck cross the Causeway or come off I-10 and know almost to the minute when the crew pulls up.

Licensed Through The State, Not Just A Sticker On The Truck

We hold an active Louisiana household-goods carrier permit through the Public Service Commission, plus insurance on every load. A property manager in Metairie or an HOA in Mandeville asking for proof gets a certificate the same day.

Theo Routes Around The Traffic Before You See A Truck

Causeway backups, I-10 work near the Industrial Canal, streetcar tracks that pinch a whole block downtown — Theo builds the day’s routing around all of it before a crew ever leaves the yard, so your window holds.

You Get Adele, Not A Script

Call the office and Adele, Remy, or someone off the crew picks up — not a call center reading from a screen somewhere out of state. Whoever answers already has your scan sheet pulled up.

Photographed, scanned, then wrapped

What happens to your things between your old door and your new one

Every Piece Gets Photographed First

Vivian’s team photographs dressers, cushions, and anything with an existing scratch or dent right where it stands in the room, before a single blanket goes on. That photo gets matched against the piece again at delivery.

The House Gets Protected Too

Corner guards and floor runners go down at both ends before the first box moves, so neither your old hallway nor your new one ends up with a scuffed wall or a dented door frame.

Taken Apart, Logged, Put Back Together

Bed frames, dining tables, cribs — whatever needs to come apart for the ride gets disassembled, its hardware bagged and tagged to the same barcode as the piece itself, then reassembled at the new address.

Fragile Items Get Their Own Box, Not A Gap Between Cushions

TVs, mirrors, and artwork get a dedicated carton with real corner padding and a photo taken before it’s sealed, so there’s a record of its condition before it ever leaves the room.

Nothing Gets Muscled Up A Staircase

Anything heavy rides on a dolly with a real tie-down strap, which matters more than usual in a city full of raised camelback homes and narrow, steep staircases.

The Crew That Starts Your Move Finishes It

Desmond runs the same crew from the first box to the last, with no relief shift showing up after lunch to pick up where somebody else left off.

How it works

Three steps. One crew the whole way.

01

Tell Adele The Basics

Two ZIP codes and a rough room count is usually enough for Adele to send back a written estimate the same day — no in-person walkthrough required just to get a number.

02

Your Crew And Scan Sheet Get Booked

Lock in a date and a specific crew goes on the calendar under your name, along with the digital inventory sheet that tracks every barcode on move day. Need a certificate of insurance for your building first? It goes out before move day.

03

Scanned At Pickup, Tracked The Whole Way, Scanned At Delivery

Desmond’s crew loads and scans every item, drives it themselves with your GPS link live the entire time, and scans each piece again as it comes off the truck at the other end.

Ready to put your move on the schedule?

From the first barcode scan at pickup to the GPS ping when the truck turns onto your new street, your move stays logged and trackable the whole way — not tracked on a clipboard that gets left behind in the cab. Send us your details and expect a written number back the same day.
