Reverse: Shreveport → Beaumont

Shreveport sits about 196 miles north of Beaumont, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Louisiana that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,180 to $3,250 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 5 min.

On the Beaumont side there are 106 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 of them authorized for interstate work), and 81 around Shreveport (46 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Shreveport.

Beaumont has a population of about 112,967 and Shreveport about 175,902. The two cities have comparable density (1,397 and 1,740 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Louisiana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Beaumont to Shreveport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,170 to $1,750 for a studio, $1,310 to $1,950 for a one-bedroom, $2,180 to $3,250 for a two-bedroom, $3,490 to $5,200 for a three-bedroom and $4,800 to $7,140 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Shreveport from Beaumont?

About 196 road miles (166 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 5 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Louisiana makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Beaumont to Shreveport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $350 to $500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,190 to $1,760. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Beaumont–Shreveport corridor.
