Reverse: New Orleans → Akron

Moving from Akron to New Orleans is a long-distance move of roughly 1,057 road miles, heading southwest from Ohio to Louisiana.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,480 to $6,660 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 55 min.

On the Akron side there are 349 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 227 around New Orleans (125 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in New Orleans.

Akron has a population of about 189,691 and New Orleans about 362,154. Akron is considerably denser (3,077 people per square mile versus 2,265), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Akron to New Orleans?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,790 to $2,670 for a studio, $2,690 to $4,000 for a one-bedroom, $4,480 to $6,660 for a two-bedroom, $7,170 to $10,660 for a three-bedroom and $9,850 to $14,660 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is New Orleans from Akron?

About 1,057 road miles (896 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 55 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Ohio into Louisiana makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Akron to New Orleans?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,540 to $2,170 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,960 to $2,890. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Akron–New Orleans corridor.
