Moving from San Antonio to Shreveport is a regional long-distance move of roughly 412 road miles, heading northeast from Texas 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 $2,930 to $4,350 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 48 min.

On the San Antonio side there are 869 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (274 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.

San Antonio has a population of about 1.5 million and Shreveport about 175,902. San Antonio is considerably denser (2,876 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.

Tips for this move

Photograph high-value items before loading and keep the inventory sheet the crew gives you.
Plan a first-night kit for Shreveport: bedding, toiletries, a few kitchen basics.
Get three written estimates; at this distance quotes can vary by a third for the same inventory.
Ask whether the carrier will use one truck end to end or transfer your goods at a terminal.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from San Antonio to Shreveport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,170 to $1,750 for a studio, $1,760 to $2,610 for a one-bedroom, $2,930 to $4,350 for a two-bedroom, $4,680 to $6,970 for a three-bedroom and $6,440 to $9,580 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Shreveport from San Antonio?

About 412 road miles (349 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 48 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for San Antonio to Shreveport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $570 to $810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,040. 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 San Antonio–Shreveport corridor.
