Long-Distance Moving from New Orleans, LA

Corbin Arceneaux has driven the Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Gulf Coast runs out of New Orleans since 2021, and on most long-distance jobs he’s still the one behind the wheel, not just a name on a dispatch sheet. When your household goods leave Chef Menteur Hwy for another state, the same driver who loaded the truck usually delivers it — no swap at a terminal, no handoff to a subcontracted carrier partway through Mississippi.

The GPS link Theo builds for your move doesn’t stop working once the truck crosses the parish line. It stays live for the whole route, updating your phone with Corbin’s actual position and a running ETA, whether he’s climbing the twin-span over Lake Pontchartrain at the start of the trip or sitting in evening traffic on the far side of Houston.

Routes We Run Regularly

• Baton Rouge, LA — 80 miles via I-10
• Lafayette, LA — 135 miles via I-10
• Gulfport, MS — 75 miles via I-10
• Hattiesburg, MS — 110 miles via I-59
• Mobile, AL — 145 miles via I-10
• Jackson, MS — 185 miles via I-55
• Houston, TX — 350 miles via I-10
• Memphis, TN — 390 miles via I-55

Shorter runs like Baton Rouge or Gulfport often load and deliver the same day. Houston and Memphis usually mean an overnight stop, and Corbin builds that into the schedule up front rather than making the call from the road — you know before the truck leaves whether to expect delivery that evening or the next afternoon.

What Gets Scanned Before the Truck Leaves

Before Corbin pulls out of the driveway, every box and piece of furniture has already been through Vivian’s barcode-and-photo process: scanned into the inventory log, photographed for condition. At the far end, whether that’s a house in Lafayette or an apartment in Memphis, the same items get scanned back off the truck and checked against that log. For a move that might sit on a truck for a day or more, that record matters more than it would for a move across town — it’s your proof of what left New Orleans and what arrived.

Long-distance moves out of this area also mean planning around Louisiana and Mississippi weather rather than ignoring it. Hurricane season runs through the same months as peak moving season, and if a storm watch gets issued for the Gulf with your move date close behind, we’d rather move the date by a day or two than have a truck en route when conditions turn. Corbin’s routes already account for detours around the Bonnet Carré Spillway and the Atchafalaya Basin bridge when water levels or weather call for it.

On delivery day, you’ll get a text well before the truck arrives, not just a morning-of phone call — enough notice to have a driveway clear and a first-floor room ready for the pieces that come off the truck first. If your move is heading somewhere not on this list, tell us the destination when you call. We quote routes well outside these eight lanes regularly; we just run these often enough to know them by mile marker.
