Reverse: New Orleans → Juneau

The route from Juneau, AK to New Orleans, LA covers roughly 3,372 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.

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 $9,390 to $13,970 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 58 hours (7 driving days).

On the Juneau side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 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.

Juneau has a population of about 32,000 and New Orleans about 362,154. New Orleans is the denser city (2,265 people per square mile versus 12 in Juneau), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Louisiana than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Louisiana does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,760 to $5,590 for a studio, $5,630 to $8,380 for a one-bedroom, $9,390 to $13,970 for a two-bedroom, $15,030 to $22,360 for a three-bedroom and $20,660 to $30,740 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is New Orleans from Juneau?

About 3,372 road miles (2,858 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 58 hours (7 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Alaska 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 Juneau to New Orleans?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $4,660 to $6,590 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,030 to $5,930. 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 Juneau–New Orleans corridor.
