The route
A genuine long haul at 1,266 miles from Ohio to Wyoming. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $5,697 – $7,596 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Cheyenne end

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Ohio 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 Dayton to Cheyenne
Insist on a survey
Over 1,266 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,266 miles of handling.
Arriving in Cheyenne
A local move inside Cheyenne later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $455 – $747 for a two-bedroom home and $759 – $1,371 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Cheyenne are Fort Collins (about 50 mi), Aurora (about 113 mi), Denver (about 113 mi).
