Moving Costs in Minden
What do local movers charge?
Local crews serving Webster Parish typically charge $135 to $150 per hour for a standard two-person crew and truck.
What will a full move cost by home size?
A studio or 1-bedroom move runs $500 to $900 and usually takes 3 to 5 hours. A 2 to 3-bedroom home runs $900 to $2,200 over 5 to 8 hours. A 4-plus bedroom house runs $2,300 to $4,500 or more and often needs a larger crew or multiple trucks.
What should I watch for on the bill?
Some crews start the clock when the truck leaves their shop, so a trip in from Shreveport or Bossier City adds paid travel time. Basic liability coverage is thin, often just $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 TV is only covered for $18 if it's damaged. Heavy or oversized items like a gun safe or piano can add a $150 to $400-plus surcharge.
Summer humidity and sudden downpours are common here, so ask how the crew protects floors and boxes if rain hits on moving day.

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 Webster Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 46% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
