How many people move from Reno to Cheyenne
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 2 people a year (±4) moved from Washoe County, NV, home to Reno, to Laramie County, WY, home to Cheyenne. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Going the other way: about 5 people a year (±8). Movers from Washoe County make up 0.0% of the 7,074 people a year who moved into Laramie County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 934 people a year (±969) moving from Nevada to Wyoming and about 694 people a year (±608) from Wyoming to Nevada — a net gain for Wyoming of about 240 people a year.

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Nevada into Wyoming, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Reno to Cheyenne
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
A non-binding estimate is a guess with no ceiling. On 929 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
