Shreveport, LA → Fargo, ND · Long-distance move
About 1,189 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,860–$7,230, delivery in 3–7 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 99 in Fargo.
The route from Shreveport, LA to Fargo, ND covers roughly 1,189 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 $4,860 to $7,230 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 21 h 12 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 99 around Fargo (88 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 Fargo.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Fargo about 136,275. Fargo is the denser city (2,530 people per square mile versus 1,740 in Shreveport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,189 road miles (1,008 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 12 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 North 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 $1,670 to $2,360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,080 to $3,060. 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–Fargo corridor.
