New Orleans sits about 520 miles southeast of Garland, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Louisiana that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $3,280 to $4,880 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 40 min.
On the Garland side there are 1,745 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (758 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.
Garland has a population of about 249,625 and New Orleans about 362,154. Garland is considerably denser (4,309 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. Note that Louisiana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
