How this started
A pickup truck, a Tulane move-out weekend, 2017
Tyler Fontenot was still a Tulane student the first time he hauled a friend's dorm room down four flights in a borrowed pickup. Word got around the dorm faster than he expected, and by the next move-out weekend he had a waitlist instead of a favor to do.
What started as beer-money side work turned into a licensed company the following year, and the same instinct still runs the business: price it like a student would want it priced, and never send a truck that isn't ours.

Everything from a dorm room to a full household
Katie runs our move-in and move-out crews, Jamal handles the drives home and anything that needs rigging, and both of them have been doing this since before you started college.
Beyond the basics
The stuff that isn't a normal college move
A piano nobody in the frat house can lift, a safe wedged in an off-campus basement, boxes with nowhere to go until August — this is where Jamal and Katie stop being generalists.
Full-Service Packing
Nobody has time to box a whole kitchen during finals — give Desiree a date and it's done before the truck even backs in.
Piano Moving
An upright and a baby grand don't move the same way, so Jamal wants to know which one you own before he'll put a number on the stairs.
Safe & Gun-Safe Moving
Gun safes and floor safes don't come loose with a dolly and good intentions — Jamal's crew brings the straps and the plan first.
Summer Storage
Going home for the summer? Our own bay holds your stuff, not a rented unit clear across town.
This is Fast Affordable College Student Movers
Two addresses, a date, and we're already working the numbers
Desiree turns most Greater New Orleans requests around the same day, dorm room or full house.

Why choose Fast Affordable College Student Movers
Move week goes smoother with a crew that has already done your building a dozen times.
- 01 We size the crew to the load, not the calendar A dorm room gets two movers and a smaller truck; a five-bedroom house gets a full crew. You are never paying full-household rates for a futon and three totes.
- 02 Marcus already knows the campus traffic Move-in weekend parade routes, permit-only blocks near Freret, the Veterans Blvd backup on the first of the month — the window you get is built around the actual streets, not a map estimate.
- 03 Louisiana-licensed, and we will prove it on request Our household-goods carrier standing covers every in-state job, and federal DOT/MC authority picks up wherever a move crosses into Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, or beyond — ask and we will show the paperwork, not just say the words.
- 04 Tyler still answers his own phone some weeks He, Desiree, Marcus, Jamal, and Katie are the same five people who ran this company last move-out season, and whoever shows up at your door works for one of them directly.
From first call to last box
How we actually run a move
1
Tell Desiree what is actually coming with you
A dorm room, a shared house, an odd piece like a piano or safe — she turns that into a real number, usually within the hour, not a callback three days later.
2
Marcus locks your truck and crew to the date
Once you say yes, dispatch reserves the equipment and sorts out anything your building, dorm, or block requires ahead of time, especially during move-in and move-out weeks.
3
The crew works the plan, not a guess
Furniture gets wrapped before it moves, doorframes get covered, and the truck rolls on the timeline Marcus already worked out with you.
4
Your stuff lands exactly where you wanted it
Beds and desks get put back together at the new place, and the number on the invoice matches the number Desiree quoted — no add-ons after the fact.
Part of the quote, not extra line items
What comes with every move
- Furniture pads and shrink wrap go on before anything leaves the room
- Straps, dollies, and hand trucks are already part of the rate
- You sign off on the number before we ever touch a box
- Every mover is a background-checked employee, never a day-labor pickup
- Cargo coverage rides with your stuff the whole trip, campus or cross-country
- Beds, desks, and shelving go back together at the new address

Everywhere our trucks run
Greater New Orleans, campus to campus
Between Tulane, Loyola, UNO, Xavier, and Dillard, Marcus has already reserved more freight elevators than most movers see in a career.
New Orleans
On the invoice, not just in a sales pitch
Four things that don't change job to job
Same rules whether it's a single dorm room or a five-bedroom house in Metairie.
Your quote already knows about the stairs
A third-floor walk-up, a permit-only block by campus, an elevator reservation window — Desiree builds all of it into the number before the crew ever loads a box.
Late arrival costs us, not you
Marcus commits to a real window when he books your date. If the crew misses it, the first hour of labor is free, automatically.
Deposits count toward the total, always
Whatever holds your crew and truck comes straight off the final bill on move day — it never shows up as an extra charge on top.
One set of paperwork, in-state or out
Louisiana household-goods carrier standing covers everything inside the state, and federal DOT/MC authority takes over the second a job crosses into Texas or beyond.
What people ask before booking
Frequently asked questions
Is Fast Affordable College Student Movers actually licensed to do this?
Yes. Louisiana household-goods carrier standing covers every in-state job, and federal DOT/MC authority on file covers anything crossing a state line. Every load also rides under cargo coverage.
Will a dorm room actually cost less than a full move?
Yes — we price by load size, not a flat per-move rate. A single dorm room with two movers costs a fraction of what a full house runs, and Desiree will tell you the real number before you book.
Can you work around my dorm building move-in window?
Yes, that is exactly the job. Marcus confirms elevator reservations and assigned move blocks with you ahead of time, so the crew arrives ready instead of guessing at the building rules.
What if my new place is not ready when the truck shows up?
It happens more often than you would think, especially around lease turnover. We hold your things in our own storage bay, billed month to month, until the address is actually ready.
Do roommates splitting a house get one combined quote?
Yes, and it usually costs less per person than booking separately. Give Desiree the full item list for everyone in the house and she will quote one truck.
How far does Fast Affordable College Student Movers actually travel?
All of New Orleans and Greater New Orleans — Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, and the towns further out — plus regular runs to Houston, Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, and Dallas under our own authority.
Ask first, decide later
Want an actual number, not a guess?
Desiree is at the Freret Street office most of the day and can turn a written estimate around fast. Rather talk it through on the phone first?
