New Orleans, LA → West Valley City, UT · Cross-country move
About 1,698 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,020–$8,960, delivery in 5–10 days, 227 carriers on the New Orleans side and 367 in West Valley City.
West Valley City sits about 1,698 miles northwest of New Orleans, which makes this an interstate relocation from Louisiana to Utah 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 $6,020 to $8,960 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 29 hours (4 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 367 around West Valley City (212 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 West Valley City.
New Orleans has a population of about 362,154 and West Valley City about 137,491. West Valley City is the denser city (3,917 people per square mile versus 2,265 in New Orleans), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Utah is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,698 road miles (1,439 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 Louisiana into Utah 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 $2,340 to $3,310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,540 to $3,730. 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–West Valley City corridor.
