Shreveport, LA → Murrieta, CA · Cross-country move
About 1,599 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,560–$9,760, delivery in 5–10 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 142 in Murrieta.
Moving from Shreveport to Murrieta is a cross-country move of roughly 1,599 road miles, heading west from Louisiana to California.
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 $6,560 to $9,760 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 28 hours (4 driving days).
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 142 around Murrieta (70 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 Murrieta.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Murrieta about 114,124. Murrieta is the denser city (3,302 people per square mile versus 1,740 in Shreveport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,599 road miles (1,355 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 California 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 $2,240 to $3,170 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,450 to $3,600. 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–Murrieta corridor.
