New Orleans draws Katy families relocating for port, hospitality, and healthcare work, plus plenty of people who just want to be closer to family across the Louisiana line. It’s about 365 miles east on I-10 through Beaumont and Lake Charles, close to five and three-quarter hours with a loaded truck — enough distance that Renata typically books it as an overnight job with next-day delivery.
Kellan prices the whole move as one number after reviewing your inventory, and crossing into Louisiana doesn’t change that figure or add a reweigh at the state line — JC Moving holds its own Texas carrier registration and federal operating authority for interstate hauls like this one.
Marcus or Nadia’s crew drives the entire route. The same people who load your furniture in Katy are still on the truck when it opens up in New Orleans the next day.
Katy → New Orleans — What It Runs
| Home Size | Flat-Rate Estimate | Usual Transit Time |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $1,950 | Next day |
| 2BR | $3,150 | Next day |
| 3BR+ | $4,800 | Next day |
Treat these numbers as a starting budget — Kellan locks in the binding figure once he’s walked through your home size and the access at both ends with you.
Moving Katy to New Orleans?
One employee crew — usually led by Marcus or Nadia on this stretch — handles both ends of the haul, from loading out of our FM 1463 yard to carrying it in at the other end
The crew that loads the truck in Katy is the same crew that rides the route and unloads it in New Orleans — nothing gets transferred to a different truck partway, there’s no reweigh at a scale, and no broker is splitting the job between two companies. Marcus and Nadia split most of these long hauls between them, and a run out to Denver gets the same handling as a same-day job across Katy.
