Movers in Shreveport, LA
Shreveport is the third-largest city in Louisiana, with something like 200,327 people across Caddo County. It is big enough to have its own moving market rather than functioning as an outer suburb, sitting 320 miles from New Orleans.

Moving in Shreveport
Hurricane season from June to November is the scheduling constraint, and the French Quarter and Garden District have narrow streets where a full-size trailer simply cannot park. Shreveport has enough of its own volume that crews are based nearby rather than dispatched across the state, and that shows up as tighter arrival windows. The closest market we also cover is Lafayette, 220 miles out. The nearest large market outside Louisiana is Garland, TX, about 200 miles and 1 day away.
A move out of Shreveport is quoted and performed by the same company — no handoff to whoever happens to be running that lane this week.

Moving in Shreveport: common questions
Which Shreveport ZIP codes do you cover?
71101, 71102, 71103, 71104, 71105, 71106, 71107, 71108 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Shreveport take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Garland, TX — 200 mi, 1 day; Little Rock, AR — 210 mi, 1 day; Plano, TX — 210 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Caddo County?
Yes. Shreveport is what people search for, but crews run throughout Caddo County and the surrounding towns.
Is a move from Shreveport to another Louisiana city local or interstate?
Local, as long as it stays inside Louisiana. That changes the paperwork and usually the pricing model, since intrastate jobs are commonly billed hourly rather than by weight. Cross a state line and it becomes interstate even if the drive is twenty minutes.
