Construction is moving on the Amazon campus off Latex State Line Road near Blanchard, and crews are arriving faster than the rooms are opening up. If you are pricing temporary housing in Shreveport right now, you already know what the nightly rates look like. There is a third option: put your per diem into a travel trailer or fifth wheel you actually own.
Most crews on the Caddo Parish job are looking at assignments measured in seasons, not weeks. Price a hotel, an extended stay in Shreveport, and an RV over the same six months and the gap gets hard to ignore.
*Figures above are illustrative estimates for comparison only and do not include RV park fees, utilities, insurance, taxes, or financing costs. Individual costs vary. Ask us for an itemized payment estimate built around your assignment length.
RV living for construction workers is not roughing it. On a multi-year build like this one, it is the setup that makes sense.
Your housing allowance goes toward something you own instead of a nightly rate that resets every morning. Per diem housing only works in your favor when the money stays with you.
A six-month assignment is a long time to be away. A travel trailer for a work assignment gives your spouse and kids somewhere to actually stay, not a folding cot beside a hotel bed.
Come off a twelve-hour shift in Caddo Parish heat and walk into your own quiet space. No shared walls, no ice machine down the hall, no housekeeping knocking at nine in the morning.
Full residential kitchen with a proper fridge, stove, and counter space. Cook what you want, pack your own lunch, and stop feeding half your per diem to the drive-through on Highway 1.
Many fifth wheels come with washer and dryer prep or units already installed. A fifth wheel for full time living is built to live in, not just sleep in.
Amazon has campuses going up on both sides of the Red River. When the Caddo work winds down and the next crew call comes, your housing hitches up and follows you.
