Shreveport, LA → Frederick, MD · Long-distance move
About 1,218 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,240–$7,800, delivery in 3–7 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 300 in Frederick.
Moving from Shreveport to Frederick is a long-distance move of roughly 1,218 road miles, heading northeast from Louisiana to Maryland.
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 $5,240 to $7,800 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 42 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 300 around Frederick (201 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 Frederick.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Frederick about 85,000. Frederick is the denser city (3,262 people per square mile versus 1,740 in Shreveport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Maryland is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

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 Maryland 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 $1,700 to $2,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,110 to $3,100. 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–Frederick corridor.
