Shreveport, LA → St. Augustine, FL · Long-distance move
About 895 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,250–$6,330, delivery in 2–5 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 71 in St. Augustine.
Moving from Shreveport to St. Augustine is a long-distance move of roughly 895 road miles, heading east from Louisiana to Florida.
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 $4,250 to $6,330 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 16 h 8 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 71 around St. Augustine (35 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 St. Augustine.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and St. Augustine about 16,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,740 and 1,505 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 895 road miles (758 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 8 min.
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 Florida 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 $1,220 to $1,720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,820 to $2,670. 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–St. Augustine corridor.
