Shreveport, LA → Texarkana, TX · Short-haul move
About 83 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,340–$2,000, delivery in 1–2 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 51 in Texarkana.
The route from Shreveport, LA to Texarkana, TX covers roughly 83 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 8 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,340 and $2,000, before packing or storage.
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 51 around Texarkana (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 Texarkana.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Texarkana about 37,000. Shreveport is considerably denser (1,740 people per square mile versus 1,152), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from Louisiana into Texas 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 $230 to $330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,610. 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–Texarkana corridor.
