Lewisville, TX → Shreveport, LA · Regional long-distance move
About 223 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,280–$3,390, delivery in 1–2 days, 655 carriers on the Lewisville side and 81 in Shreveport.
The route from Lewisville, TX to Shreveport, LA covers roughly 223 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,280 to $3,390 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 33 min.
On the Lewisville side there are 655 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (262 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.
Lewisville has a population of about 139,006 and Shreveport about 175,902. Lewisville is considerably denser (3,022 people per square mile versus 1,740), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Louisiana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 223 road miles (189 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 33 min.
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.
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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $380 to $530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,220 to $1,790. 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.
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 Lewisville–Shreveport corridor.
