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.
Minden, LA Movers
Thirty miles east on I-20, Minden moves get the same flat rates plus one honest travel fee.
Get my free estimateMinden isn’t a suburb so much as its own small city: brick streets downtown, Victorian homes with real stairs, and neighborhoods that grew around the mill and the hospital. People move within Minden as much as to it, and we make the 30-mile I-20 run from our Shreveport yard weekly. Our Shreveport moving company handles these as flat-rate local-plus moves; get numbers at our quote page.
What makes a Minden move tricky
- The I-20 gap. Thirty miles of interstate means one-trip discipline: nothing forgotten, because there’s no quick run back.
- Older downtown homes. Victorians near the brick streets mean stairs, plaster walls, and furniture that needs true disassembly.
- Morning fog and weather. The stretch through Webster Parish fogs up early, and loaded trucks take it slow.
Typical Minden flat rates
Bands run $40 above our Shreveport numbers to cover the I-20 run out from our yard.
| Home size | Typical flat rate |
|---|---|
| Studio | $420–$535 |
| 1 bedroom | $535–$745 |
| 2 bedroom | $775–$1,090 |
| 3 bedroom | $1,120–$1,600 |
Three things that speed up move day
- Be fully packed before the truck arrives; the I-20 run makes forgotten trips home expensive.
- Label boxes by room so the unload goes fast and the crew can head back before dark.
- Coming from Haughton or points west? Ask about bundling everything into one morning load.
Questions Shreveport customers actually ask
Do you charge extra because Minden is 30 miles out?
Just $40 on the flat rate to cover the interstate run, and it's in your written quote, not a surprise on the invoice.
We have a third-floor walkup in an old downtown building. Is that doable?
Done it many times. Stairs affect the quote, not the willingness; tell us the floor count and it's priced in from the start.
Can you move us from Minden out of state?
Yes, that's a long-distance move, and we quote those flat too, per mile and by load size.
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.

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.
See what Shreveport is saying
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!
