Texarkana moves split two ways for us: families taking jobs at the Red River Army Depot or the medical corridor, and Barksdale PCS households heading closer to family in Arkansas. Roughly 70 miles puts you in a city that sits on the state line — the post office literally straddles it. Our Shreveport movers handle both directions.

The drive

We run I-49 north out of Shreveport, then pick up I-30 east into town, about an hour and ten minutes total. The pinch points: the I-49/I-30 interchange at rush hour and thunderstorm lines that march down the corridor in spring. Our dispatcher watches both before wheels roll. Heading south instead? The same crew covers Natchitoches.

What it costs

Written flat rates, miles and fuel already included. This route’s typical bands:

Home size Typical price range
Studio / 1-bed $735 – $1,055
2-bedroom $1,365 – $1,970
3-bedroom $2,110 – $3,035
4-bedroom+ $2,990 – $4,305

How the long haul works

  • The same local crew loads in Shreveport and unhooks the last strap in Texarkana.
  • One binding rate on paper — what we quote is what you pay.
  • No load sharing, ever. Your shipment gets the truck to itself.
  • We run long-distance routes out of both ends of this corridor. Start at our quote page.
Good questions

Questions Shreveport customers actually ask

Is Texarkana doable in one day with a big house?

Yes, any size. It's about 70 miles, so even a packed 4-bedroom is out of the old place by noon and settled in Texarkana before dark.

Do I pay by weight like the van lines?

No. We quote a flat, binding rate in writing — fuel, mileage, and crew included. There's no weigh-in and no revised bill later.

What's the coverage if something gets damaged?

Baseline is $0.60 per pound per item, included on every move. Full-value protection costs roughly 1-3% of your declared value, and you have a 9-month window to file a claim.

Why Shreveport-Bossier books this crew

What sets Hometown Movers apart

One written flat rate before move day, and the same local crew from your old front door to your new one. That has been the deal since 2012.

Raised Between The Red River And I-49

Every mover on our trucks grew up here. Your crew already knows the Broadmoor stairs, the Pierremont parking, and which South Highlands streets back up first in a spring storm, before you finish giving the address.

Barksdale PCS Moves On Short Notice

Military orders don’t wait, so neither do we. Same-week slots stay open for PCS moves into and out of Barksdale AFB at no rush premium, and Clint still takes those calls himself.

Licensed Through The Louisiana PSC

We hold Louisiana PSC household-goods registration plus US DOT and MC authority on file, with cargo coverage on every load. A property manager in Bossier City or an HOA board asking for proof gets a certificate the same day.

Wade Routes Around The Backup Before You See A Truck

I-20 work zones, bridge traffic on I-220, casino-row event nights that choke the riverfront — Wade builds the day’s truck board around all of it before a crew ever leaves the yard, so your window holds.

You Get Shelby, Not A Script

Call the office and Shelby, or someone off the crew, picks up — not a call center reading from a screen three states away. Whoever answers can already see your date and your crew on the board.

Wrapped, loaded, carried by the same crew

What happens to your things between your old door and your new one

Every Piece Gets Looked Over First

Jesse’s crew walks each room with you before a blanket goes on, noting any scratch or dent a dresser already has. That way there’s no argument later about what was there before the truck showed up.

Both Homes Get Padded First

Runners and corner guards go down at pickup and delivery before anything lifts, so neither your old hallway nor your new one ends up with a scuffed wall or a dented door frame.

Taken Apart, Labeled, Put Back Together

Bed frames, dining tables, cribs — whatever needs to come apart for the ride gets disassembled, and the hardware gets bagged, labeled, and taped straight to the piece itself so nothing goes missing.

Breakables Ride In Their Own Carton, Never Wedged In

TVs, mirrors, and artwork ride in a dedicated carton with real corner padding, packed by the same person who carried it out of the room.

Stairs Are Rigged, Never Wrestled

Anything heavy rides on a dolly with a real tie-down strap, which matters on the third-floor walk-ups off Airline Dr and the split-level stairs all over Broadmoor.

One Crew From First Box To Last Room

The same crew runs your move from the first box to the last, with no relief shift showing up after lunch to pick up where somebody else left off.

I had Jesse L and Cole T help me move. From start to finish, the movers were exceptional. They communicated clearly, showed up right on time, and handled everything with care — including heavier pieces and delicate items. They worked quickly without ever compromising quality and made what is usually a stressful day feel easy. I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable movers.

I had a wonderful experience with my driver and my team of movers. The team of guys who loaded the truck could not have been more friendly, helpful, courteous and professional. They were quick and efficient and very careful with my belongings...even carefully wrapping items I would not have...that showed their level of respect. The team that unloaded me (across the country) was equally respectful of my possesions, efficient and friendly. My move coordinator and my driver, Cole, were great at keeping in constant contact, how long it would take and other moving logistics. All in all, I had a great experience from start to finish.

The team was great! They were very personable while also remaining professional. They handled our belongings with care and worked very efficiently. They were able to anticipate our moving needs and had extra boxes for us to use. Jesse and his team were fantastic and I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a reliable moving company!

The whole move, step by step

Three steps, one crew the whole way.

01

Tell Shelby The Basics

Send Shelby the two ZIP codes and a rough room count, and a written quote comes back the same day — no walkthrough needed just to talk numbers.

02

Your Crew And Date Get Locked In

Pick a date and a named crew goes on the truck board for you. Building or base housing wants a COI? Ours lands before move day.

03

Same Crew Loads, Drives, And Carries It In

Your crew loads the truck, drives it themselves, and carries everything through the new front door — the number you were quoted in writing is the number on the final bill.

Ready to claim a spot on the truck board?

From the first walkthrough at your old place to the last box off the truck, the same local crew handles your move, and the price you were quoted in writing is the price you pay. Send over the details of the move and a written number comes back the same day.
