Quincy, MA → Shreveport, LA · Cross-country move
About 1,671 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,530–$9,720, delivery in 5–10 days, 456 carriers on the Quincy side and 81 in Shreveport.
Moving from Quincy to Shreveport is a cross-country move of roughly 1,671 road miles, heading west from Massachusetts 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 $6,530 to $9,720 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 29 hours (4 driving days).
On the Quincy side there are 456 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (277 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.
Quincy has a population of about 103,173 and Shreveport about 175,902. Quincy is considerably denser (6,123 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. Labor and living costs run lower in Louisiana than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,671 road miles (1,416 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Massachusetts 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 $2,320 to $3,270 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,510 to $3,690. 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 Quincy–Shreveport corridor.
