Terrebonne Parish empties out in waves — oilfield contracts rotate crews to Houston and Mobile, and every hurricane season a few families finally make the jump to drier ground in Jackson or Atlanta. Wade Authement runs our long-haul crew, and he’s driven the Houma-to-Houston stretch on I-10 enough times to know exactly where the truck sits low through construction near Beaumont. He plans fuel stops and rest breaks around that kind of detail instead of trusting a generic mileage app.
Six Routes We Run Regularly
- Houston, TX — the most common run, often tied to oilfield reassignment
- Dallas, TX — a full day’s haul, scheduled around Chauvin and Dulac pickup windows
- Atlanta, GA — frequent for family relocations out of the parish
- Jackson, MS — a shorter run we can often turn around same week
- Mobile, AL — coastal-to-coastal, similar humidity handling on both ends
- Memphis, TN — less frequent, still on our regular corridor
How We Price It
Jerome Batiste handles billing and confirms coverage on the load before Wade’s crew ever loads a box — no vague binding estimate that quietly changes at delivery. One truck, one crew, from your driveway in Terrebonne Parish to the delivery address, with no broker handing your shipment off to a name you’ve never heard of along the way.
Kim Tran walks through inventory with you ahead of time so weight and cube are documented before pickup, which is what keeps the number Wade quotes and the number Jerome bills the same figure.
Long-haul pickups also get planned around hurricane season — nobody wants a loaded trailer parked in Bayou Blue during a storm watch, so Wade builds a buffer day into any Houston or Mobile pickup scheduled June through November.
What's Covered
- One truck, one crew, door to door — never handed off to another carrier
- Wade Authement's crew runs Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Jackson, Mobile, and Memphis
- Binding quote locked in by Jerome Batiste before loading begins
- Weight and inventory documented so delivery price matches pickup price
- Delivery window scheduled around your closing date or lease start
- Direct cell contact with the crew chief while your load is on the road
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.

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.

What Our Clients Say
“Full pack for our Dulac house took most of the day with all the humidity we get down here, but every piece of glassware made it across town dry and unbroken. Kim's estimate was right on the money.”
“Getting Grandma's old upright down a narrow Larose stairwell sounded like a disaster waiting to happen, but the two guys who showed up had clearly done this before — straps, a dolly, and maybe fifteen minutes of careful work.”
“Had my own truck already lined up for a Cut Off move and just needed hands to fill it. Two guys showed up, loaded it better than I expected, and were done in under two hours — running about twenty minutes behind schedule was the only hiccup.”
Questions We Get Most
Bayou Moving answers these on nearly every call from Houma, LA.
Does the same truck go all the way to Houston or Atlanta?
Yes — Wade Authement's crew loads in Houma and delivers directly, with no reload onto another carrier's truck.
How far out should we book a Dallas or Memphis move?
Two to three weeks gives us the best pick of dates, though we can often work shorter notice for Houston and Mobile.
What if our delivery date has to shift?
Jerome Batiste builds a few days of flex into long-distance contracts specifically for closing dates that move.
