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.
Last-Minute Movers in Shreveport, LA
Same-week and often next-day crews for PCS orders and plans that changed overnight.
Get my free estimateOrders drop. Closings move up. A lease ends faster than the plan did. Because a big share of our work is Barksdale PCS families, our schedule is built for short notice: we hold same-week slots for military orders at no rush premium, and Clint still takes those calls himself.
The honest same-day reality
No mover can promise a same-day crew every time, and anyone who does is guessing. Here is what our truck board actually allows. Five trucks across two parishes means most weekdays have room somewhere; Saturdays in May and June are the hard ones.
- Same day: possible when a truck finishes early; call our office in the morning.
- Next day: usually available on weekdays, tighter on Saturdays.
- Same week: held open for PCS orders and genuine emergencies, at regular rates.
- What speeds it up: a phone inventory, photos, and the $80 deposit to lock the slot.
How the day goes
- Call our office early; Shelby checks the truck board across both parishes.
- You give a quick inventory, we give a written flat rate the same call or visit.
- Deposit locks the crew; paperwork and COIs go out immediately if your building needs them.
- Move day runs exactly like a booked-weeks-out move: same crew, same equipment, same rate.
What it costs
What’s not included
- A guaranteed same-day slot; we will tell you honestly what the board allows.
- Full packing on 24-hour notice, though we can wrap furniture and pack essentials.
Most last-minute calls turn into straightforward local moves with a tighter calendar, whether you are in Bossier City or south Shreveport. Reach our Shreveport moving company through the quote page or call our office first thing in the morning.
Questions Shreveport customers actually ask
My orders dropped and I report to Barksdale in 10 days. Can you move me?
Yes. PCS timelines are exactly why we hold same-week slots, at no rush premium. Clint takes those calls himself, so you will get a straight answer on the first call.
Is there a rush fee for booking late?
No. Same hourly rates, same flat-rate bands. Being in a bind should not cost you more, and around here it does not.
Can you move me tomorrow?
Usually yes on weekdays, depending on the truck board. Call our office first thing in the morning with your inventory ready and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
What do you need from me to book fast?
A quick inventory over the phone or by email, photos of anything unusual, and the $80 deposit to lock the crew. The deposit comes off your final bill.
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!
