Moving Companies in Bossier City, LA
Local moves in the Shreveport-Bossier area run on an hourly clock. Rates fall between $90 and $150 an hour for a two-to-three-person crew and a truck. Because Bossier City sits right across the river from Shreveport, many crews quoting your job also cover both cities, so it's worth asking whether the hourly rate changes depending on which side you're starting or ending on.
Studio and one-bedroom jobs typically total $300 to $500, done in three to four hours. Bigger homes with three or more bedrooms usually land between $600 and $1,500 or more, depending on volume, heavy items, and how much assembly is needed.
Already have your own truck or a rented container? Labor-only help runs about $89 an hour, with full jobs averaging $335 to $700 total.
Before you book
- Get a written estimate. A number quoted over the phone rarely survives contact with your actual boxes.
- Ask what counts toward the minimum booking window, since most crews charge for a set block regardless of how fast the job goes.
- Confirm whether pianos, safes, or other heavy pieces carry an extra charge before moving day, not after.
- Ask if the quoted hourly rate already covers travel time to your address, since that detail can change what looks like the cheapest option on paper.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Bossier Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 43% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
