New Orleans, LA → Juneau, AK · Cross-country move
About 3,372 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,390–$13,970, delivery in 7–14 days, 227 carriers on the New Orleans side and 7 in Juneau.
Juneau sits about 3,372 miles northwest of New Orleans, which makes this an interstate relocation from Louisiana to Alaska that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $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 New Orleans side there are 227 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (125 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Juneau (1 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 Juneau.
New Orleans has a population of about 362,154 and Juneau about 32,000. New Orleans is considerably denser (2,265 people per square mile versus 12), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Alaska is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Alaska levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 3,372 road miles (2,858 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 58 hours (7 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Louisiana into Alaska 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 $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.
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 New Orleans–Juneau corridor.
