Reverse: Shreveport → Jackson

Moving from Jackson to Shreveport is a regional long-distance move of roughly 247 road miles, heading west from Mississippi to Louisiana.

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 $2,240 to $3,330 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 58 min.

On the Jackson side there are 173 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (113 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.

Jackson has a population of about 141,196 and Shreveport about 175,902. The two cities have comparable density (1,376 and 1,740 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,110 to $1,660 for a studio, $1,340 to $2,000 for a one-bedroom, $2,240 to $3,330 for a two-bedroom, $3,580 to $5,320 for a three-bedroom and $4,920 to $7,320 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Shreveport from Jackson?

About 247 road miles (209 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 58 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 Mississippi 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 Jackson to Shreveport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $400 to $570 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,240 to $1,820. 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 Jackson–Shreveport corridor.
