The route from Minot, ND to Shreveport, LA covers roughly 1,366 miles by road, a south-bound trip that falls into the 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 $5,280 to $7,860 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).

On the Minot side there are 20 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (13 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.

Minot has a population of about 48,000 and Shreveport about 175,902. The two cities have comparable density (1,747 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 Minot to Shreveport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,110 to $3,140 for a studio, $3,170 to $4,710 for a one-bedroom, $5,280 to $7,860 for a two-bedroom, $8,450 to $12,570 for a three-bedroom and $11,620 to $17,290 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Shreveport from Minot?

About 1,366 road miles (1,157 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 North Dakota 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 Minot to Shreveport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,000 to $2,830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,240 to $3,290. 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 Minot–Shreveport corridor.
