Pointing a moving truck east toward Louisiana is a long-running habit for Houstonians, and All Some Movers carries a steady stream of those moves down to New Orleans through the season. The lane runs about 350 miles of I-10 east, over Beaumont and across the Atchafalaya Basin, near 5 hours and 15 minutes behind the wheel, our rig sealed tight from your block in the four counties all the way to the Crescent City. Whoever eases your dresser down a Montrose walk-up at sunrise is whoever rolls it into your New Orleans place that afternoon.
Damon Pierce keeps this run on the books because the Gulf-Coast economy shuffles households between the two port cities all year, a permanent move for some, a job posting for others. Whichever it is, your shipment stays inside All Some’s own four walls the entire way. As a direct mover, we never combine your cartons with a stranger’s, never trade trailers at a depot, and never let a New Orleans outfit take the keys when you arrive.

Why Houston points east to New Orleans
Whether it is a downsized studio or a full Sugar Land house, Damon’s crew has prepped every size of home for the trip over the state line. A booking usually comes down to one of these:
- Energy, port, and petrochemical work shifting people between the Houston Ship Channel and the Louisiana Gulf Coast
- Healthcare and university hires leaving Medical Center or Rice-area apartments for a posting in New Orleans
- Families trading a master-planned home in Katy or The Woodlands for more room near relatives across the basin
- Young households giving up an EaDo or Heights townhome for the pace and the neighborhoods of the Crescent City
How a 350-mile Gulf-Coast load gets packed and driven
✓ Our own trucks, movers on the All Some payroll
- Ring us and Damon or another All Some staffer answers in person, never a rented call floor
- Whatever the contract reads is what you hand over at the curb — no move-day surcharges, no inflated line items.
- A single All Some crew packs, loads and unloads from start to finish
- Every load carries $1M in coverage, and your high-rise or HOA office gets its COI the same day
- If something goes wrong, Damon reviews the claim himself, and it never leaves our office
× Broker chain
- Anything you submit elsewhere lands in a call floor and gets resold to the next low bidder.
- A delivery-day bill quietly fattened with surprise “add-ons”
- A truck you do not recognize shows up with a crew of total strangers
- COI and building paperwork you wind up tracking down on your own
- Damage claims brushed off with a “that was another contractor” line
The size of the home decides the rig. From a two-bedroom up, we send the larger truck so the household reaches the far side of the basin in one trip, and a compact apartment fits the standard one. Both ways, everything gets thoroughly padded and strapped for the interstate hours in Gulf-Coast heat, not tossed on loose the way a fast crosstown job would let you.
The opening hours, though, belong to your Houston block. We file the building’s insurance certificate for a tower downtown, in the Galleria, or by the Medical Center, claim the freight elevator and the loading slot, and arrange the gate code plus HOA hours for a gated address in Cypress or Sugar Land. At a third-floor Bellaire or Heights walk-up, the crew works out the staircase so the lot never bottlenecks. Then the driver threads clear of the Beltway crush, gets on I-10 east through Beaumont, crosses the Atchafalaya Basin, and aims for New Orleans before the afternoon storms build.
The basin drive is honest work; the towers ask far more
Five-plus hours over Beaumont and the Atchafalaya make this a genuine out-of-state run, yet I-10 is the part that handles itself. The part that wants a head start is a high-rise condo in downtown New Orleans, or a tight Houston Medical Center elevator window. All Some holds its own Texas and federal authority, USDOT and MC authority, so the whole 350-mile lane counts as a single regulated long-distance job, and the $1M in cargo coverage attaches the moment the doors latch shut in Houston. The shipment is never interlined and never signed over to a carrier in Louisiana.
One quoted price covers the whole distance
The run is long; the figure stays fixed:
- Around $1,050 to $1,750 for a two-bedroom and $1,750 to $2,850 for a three-bedroom, the I-10 mileage built in and committed to paper before anyone lifts a carton
- The identical All Some team loads across the four counties and unloads at the New Orleans address
- Every mile of I-10 carries $1M in federal cargo protection on your belongings
- Worried about a gap? If your Louisiana keys arrive late, climate-controlled storage runs about $110 to $260 a month by unit size
Need that figure in writing for a Houston-to-New-Orleans move? Damon’s office answers at (888) 711-4778, and both the date and the dollar amount get committed to paper long before the truck pulls up.
