Shreveport, LA → Davenport, IA · Long-distance move
About 769 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,770–$5,600, delivery in 2–5 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 98 in Davenport.
The route from Shreveport, LA to Davenport, IA covers roughly 769 miles by road, a north-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 $3,770 to $5,600 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 58 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 98 around Davenport (78 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 Davenport.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Davenport about 100,358. The two cities have comparable density (1,740 and 1,594 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Iowa 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 $1,090 to $1,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,710 to $2,510. 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–Davenport corridor.
