Shreveport, LA → Tyler, TX · Short-haul move
About 105 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,870–$2,780, delivery in 1–2 days, 81 carriers on the Shreveport side and 153 in Tyler.
Tyler sits about 105 miles west of Shreveport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Louisiana to Texas that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 31 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,870 and $2,780, 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 153 around Tyler (66 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 Tyler.
Shreveport has a population of about 175,902 and Tyler about 113,723. The two cities have comparable density (1,740 and 1,843 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 105 road miles (89 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 31 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 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 $260 to $360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,640. 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–Tyler corridor.
