No obligation · straight to our New Orleans office
The drive from New Orleans to Lafayette crosses eighteen miles of elevated highway over the Atchafalaya Basin — one of the longest bridges in the country — before I-10 drops back down into the middle of Cajun country. It’s about two hours door to door, and Corbin Arceneaux is behind the wheel for all of it. He’s run this route often enough to know exactly when the Basin bridge backs up and when it doesn’t, and he plans departure times around it.
Nothing about your move changes hands partway through. The crew that wraps your furniture and scans it into our barcode inventory system in New Orleans is the same crew that carries it to Lafayette. There’s no regional depot in between, no second truck, no different faces showing up at your new front door. Corbin drives it himself, and your GPS tracking link stays live on your phone from the moment the truck pulls away until it’s parked outside your new place.
Every item gets a photo taken at pickup — condition, position, any existing wear — before it’s wrapped and loaded. At delivery, Corbin and the crew scan each barcoded item back in and match it against that pickup photo. If a dresser had a scratch before the move, it’s on record before the truck ever left New Orleans, and it gets checked against that same record in Lafayette. That’s the whole point of the system: nothing depends on someone’s memory of what a room looked like three days earlier.
What comes with a Lafayette long-distance move
- One driver — Corbin — for the full New Orleans-to-Lafayette run, no handoffs
- Barcode inventory scan at pickup, re-scanned and matched at delivery
- Photo condition log taken before anything is wrapped or loaded
- Live GPS ETA sent to your phone, updated for the whole two-hour drive
- Dispatch coordinator Theo Landry monitoring I-10 and the Basin bridge for delays
- Same-day loading and delivery for most Lafayette households
Most Lafayette jobs load in the morning and land in the afternoon, all in the same day — there’s rarely a reason to split it across two. If you’re headed out to the Lafayette oil-and-gas corridor or just relocating west along I-10, you get one driver, one truck, and a tracking link that tells you exactly where your move stands the entire time.
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.
Long-distance
Long-distance moves out of New Orleans
Corbin Arceneaux drives every long-distance run himself, from the last box loaded in New Orleans to the door at the other end, with your GPS tracker live on your phone the whole drive.
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.

Very fast movers that made sure we were well taken care of.
Their trucks are top-notch! Made my moving day much easier.
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.
