You Rented the Truck. We’ll Load It Right.
Plenty of folks around Raceland and Thibodaux rent a truck themselves and just need muscle and know-how for the loading and unloading — especially guys coming off a rig hitch with two days to get a household moved before the next rotation starts. That’s exactly what our load-help crews are for, and it’s a call we field constantly during shift-change weeks.
- Two- or four-person crews sized to your truck and inventory
- Proper load order so nothing shifts on the highway once the ramp goes up
- Furniture protection brought by us, even though the truck’s yours
- Unload-only bookings for the far end of a long-distance haul
- Hourly rate confirmed up front, with a realistic time estimate from Kim Tran before the crew arrives
- Appliance dolly and furniture straps included at no separate rental charge
We show up on your schedule, not the other way around — early morning before the humidity peaks, or a tight window between shift changes. No truck rental markup, no hidden fuel surcharge, just trained hands and a plan for how the load fits together. Call (888) 278-9005 and tell us your truck size; we’ll tell you how many people to book.
It’s a service we lean on hard right after hurricane season warnings ease up too — families who evacuated with a rental truck already packed just need hands to get it back off the truck fast, without waiting on a full-service crew to free up. We keep availability open for exactly that kind of short-notice call, no advance-booking penalty attached.
What's Covered
- Crew sized to your rental truck, not a flat two-person default
- Proper load order so nothing shifts loose on the highway
- We bring the furniture protection even though the truck is yours
- Unload-only bookings for the far end of a long-distance move
- Hourly rate confirmed before the crew steps off the truck
- Early or off-hour scheduling around shift and rotation changes
Our Services
A one-room load in Bayou Cane and a full house headed out to Atlanta both start with the same nine-service lineup and the same crew roster — nothing gets handed off partway through.
Our Range Of Services IncludesLocal Houma Moves
Gray gets the same crew as Bayou Blue -- load it, drive it, set it down, done inside a day regardless of which end of the parish you're on.
Learn More →Long-Distance & Interstate Moves
Six lanes cover most of what leaves the state from here: Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Jackson, Mobile, Memphis. Whoever wraps it at the yard rides along and carries it in at the other end.
Learn More →Residential Moves
A Schriever starter home and a bigger Bourg house get the exact same care -- nothing gets set down until you say where it goes.
Learn More →Apartment & Multi-Family Moves
Elevators booked, move-in windows confirmed -- our crews have worked enough Thibodaux and Raceland complexes to know the routine before we ever knock.
Learn More →Full-Service Packing
Glassware, mirrors, electronics -- everything gets wrapped against the humidity before it's boxed, whether that's one room in Chauvin or a whole house in Dulac.
Learn More →Short-Term Storage
Waiting out a closing date in Cut Off or riding out hurricane season before Golden Meadow's ready -- either way, the storage stays dry until you need it back.
Learn More →Piano Moving
Raised camp in Montegut, slab house in Gibson, doesn't matter -- moving an upright or a baby grand across the bayou just takes the right straps and a crew that's done it before.
Learn More →Labor-Only Load/Unload Help
Got the truck already for a Larose or Bayou Cane move? We'll send the muscle to load or unload it on your schedule -- you keep the wheel.
Learn More →Senior & Retirement Moves
A Thibodaux or Raceland downsize doesn't get rushed here -- we go room by room, at whatever pace actually works for the household.
Learn More →What To Expect
A Houma move breaks down into four stages, start to finish — here is what each one looks like.
Kim Walks The Job With You
Most of it happens over the phone — stairs, a stilt-house landing, storm-season flexibility, whatever's actually in the house — before she puts a number to it.
Jerome Locks In The Paperwork
Coverage, certificate of insurance if a leasing office needs one, and the final number all get confirmed before the crew is dispatched, not worked out after the fact.
Wade Or Dominic Runs The Crew
Whichever one is on your job, furniture gets wrapped before anything is carried through a doorway, stairwell, or stilt-house ramp.
Setup, Not Just A Drop-Off
Beds get reassembled, boxes land in the room they're labeled for, and the crew takes the packing debris with them on the way out.
Why Houma Keeps Booking Us
Same Crew Chiefs, Year After Year
Wade has run the long-distance side since 2014 and Dominic has led local jobs since 2017 — ask either one about a route or a neighborhood and they'll know it firsthand, not from a training binder.
Stilt Houses And Storm Season Are Normal Here
A piano down a raised staircase, a closing date that slips because of a storm watch, a driveway that floods after a hard rain — none of that throws off the schedule, because it's what most weeks look like in Terrebonne Parish.
One Crew, Start To Finish
Wade's crew loads the truck on Barrow Street and is still the one unloading it whether the drop-off is a short hop to Mobile or the two-day haul up to Atlanta.

Tell the office what's moving and when, and you'll have a flat number before you hang up in most cases — even if a storm forecast means we're rebuilding half the week's schedule at the same time.
What Our Clients Say
“Blaine drove our load himself all the way to Atlanta for my wife's new job. Everything showed up two days later without so much as a scratch on the dresser.”
“Good crew for our Thibodaux apartment move, careful with everything and right on time. Only ding is the quote came in a little low once they saw how many boxes we actually had.”
“Three guys and a truck cleared out our whole Raceland house in one day. Dominic walked the inventory sheet with me before anything got loaded.”
Questions We Get Most
Bayou Moving answers these on nearly every call from Houma, LA.
Do we need to have the truck already rented?
Yes, load-help assumes you've got the truck — we bring the crew, dollies, and protective wrap.
Can you do unloading only, on the delivery end of a long move?
Yes, unload-only bookings are common, especially for people who drove their own rental in from another state.
How is the hourly rate calculated?
Kim Tran gives you a time estimate based on your inventory and truck size before the crew arrives, so there's no guessing on-site.
