Shreveport, LA → Aberdeen, SD · Long-distance move
About 1,100 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,580–$6,810, delivery in 3–7 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 9 in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen sits about 1,100 miles north of Shreveport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Louisiana to South Dakota 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 $4,580 to $6,810 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 19 h 40 min.
On the Shreveport side there are 81 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (46 of them authorized for interstate work), and 9 around Aberdeen (9 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 Aberdeen.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Aberdeen about 28,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,740 and 1,725 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. South Dakota levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,100 road miles (932 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 40 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 Louisiana into South Dakota 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 $1,580 to $2,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,000 to $2,940. 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 Shreveport–Aberdeen corridor.
