Shreveport, LA → Palm Springs, CA · Cross-country move
About 1,554 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,480–$9,650, delivery in 5–10 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 74 in Palm Springs.
The route from Shreveport, LA to Palm Springs, CA covers roughly 1,554 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,480 to $9,650 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 27 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 74 around Palm Springs (33 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 Palm Springs.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Palm Springs about 45,000. Shreveport is considerably denser (1,740 people per square mile versus 471), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. California is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,554 road miles (1,317 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 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 $2,200 to $3,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,410 to $3,540. 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–Palm Springs corridor.
