Anaheim, CA → New Orleans, LA · Cross-country move
About 1,944 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,150–$10,640, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,278 carriers on the Anaheim side and 227 in New Orleans.
Moving from Anaheim to New Orleans is a cross-country move of roughly 1,944 road miles, heading east from California 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 $7,150 to $10,640 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 34 hours (4 driving days).
On the Anaheim side there are 1,278 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (560 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.
Anaheim has a population of about 341,008 and New Orleans about 362,154. Anaheim is considerably denser (6,895 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. Labor and living costs run lower in Louisiana than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,944 road miles (1,647 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.
Yes. Crossing from California 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,750 to $3,880 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,760 to $4,050. 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.
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 Anaheim–New Orleans corridor.
