Shreveport, LA → Tacoma, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,142 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,150–$10,640, delivery in 5–10 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 823 in Tacoma.
Moving from Shreveport to Tacoma is a cross-country move of roughly 2,142 road miles, heading northwest from Louisiana to Washington.
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 $7,150 to $10,640 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 37 hours (5 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 823 around Tacoma (399 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 Tacoma.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Tacoma about 229,816. Tacoma is the denser city (4,413 people per square mile versus 1,740 in Shreveport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,142 road miles (1,815 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 37 hours (5 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 Washington 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 $2,950 to $4,170 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,930 to $4,310. 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–Tacoma corridor.
