Movers in Louisiana

Moving to or from Louisiana
Houston and Dallas are the dominant lanes, close enough to run without an overnight. Atlanta and Florida take the rest.
Hurricane season from June to November is the scheduling constraint, and the French Quarter and Garden District have narrow streets where a full-size trailer simply cannot park.
Whether the job stays inside Louisiana or crosses state lines, the same company handles it end to end. United Relocation is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier — we are not passing your shipment to whichever crew happens to bid on it.

Moving in Louisiana: common questions
What does a move from Louisiana depend on?
Weight and distance first — Houston, TX is about 280 miles out, Fort Worth, TX about 420, and that gap alone changes the job. French Quarter and Garden District access frequently requires a shuttle, and that is the surcharge. Our published starting rates give you a floor — $250 an hour on a local move, from $1,800 on a long haul — and the number that binds is a written estimate against your actual inventory, which is free.
Which cities in Louisiana do you serve?
New Orleans is the largest market in the state at roughly 379,000 people, and we also run crews in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Kenner, Bossier City. Smaller towns are covered too, though rural addresses sometimes need a shuttle from a smaller truck.
How long does a move out of Louisiana take?
Inside Louisiana, normally loaded and delivered the same day. Interstate, distance sets it: Houston, TX at 280 miles lands in one to two days, Fort Worth, TX at 420 miles takes longer. June through November is hurricane season and the least predictable delivery window.
