Moving Companies in Shreveport, LA
Take a look at the companies listed on this page before you start calling around for quotes in the Shreveport-Bossier City area.
A local, in-town move typically bills $75 to $135 per hour for a two-to-three-person crew and a truck, and full jobs range from about $476 to $2,658 or more depending on home size and how long loading and unloading takes. If you already have a truck or container and just need muscle, labor-only help averages around $83 per hour, with typical jobs between $335 and $695.
- Almost every local company enforces a 2-to-3-hour minimum, even for a small job that finishes in under an hour.
- Ask whether the hourly clock starts when the truck leaves the warehouse or when it reaches your door, and whether there's a separate travel surcharge.
- Basic liability coverage is limited by law: a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds is only worth $18 under standard terms, so ask about buying real valuation coverage.
- Flag a piano, a heavy safe, stairs, or a long driveway upfront — these often trigger add-on fees if the crew discovers them on arrival.
- Some companies charge extra for paying by credit card; keep cash on hand for tips, typically $20 to $50 per mover depending on the job.

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 Caddo Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 32% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
