Moab, UT → Shreveport, LA · Long-distance move
About 1,156 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,880–$7,270, delivery in 3–7 days, 1 carriers on the Moab side and 81 in Shreveport.
Shreveport sits about 1,156 miles east of Moab, which makes this an interstate relocation from Utah to Louisiana that most movers classify as a 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 $4,880 to $7,270 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 20 h 38 min.
On the Moab side there are 1 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 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.
Moab has a population of about 5,000 and Shreveport about 175,902. Shreveport is the denser city (1,740 people per square mile versus 1,118 in Moab), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Louisiana than in Utah, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,156 road miles (979 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 38 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Utah 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 $1,640 to $2,310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,050 to $3,020. 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 Moab–Shreveport corridor.
