Moving from Cheyenne, WY to Casper, WY
About 165 miles inside Wyoming. Past the 100-mile local band movers price on distance and weight, but because the truck never crosses a state line the move is regulated by Wyoming, not by the federal FMCSA. That changes which licence to check and which estimate rules protect you.

In short
Moving from Cheyenne, WY to Casper, WY covers about 165 miles and is a move within Wyoming. Full-service movers cost $743 – $990 for a two-bedroom home in our model, delivered in 1 to 3 days. About 182 people a year move between the two counties (Census).
The route
A short interstate haul: 165 miles, about 3 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $743 – $990. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How these figures are calculated

For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Casper: Wyoming Transfer & Storage LLC (Casper, 3 trucks), Stewart Moving & Storage (Casper, 2 trucks), Natrona Transfer & Storage Co Inc (Casper, 1 truck).
Rules that apply to this move
Both ends are in Wyoming, so Wyoming rather than the FMCSA regulates the move: ask the mover which Wyoming licence or registration it holds and check it with the state. The federal 110% cap on non-binding estimates does not reach a move inside Wyoming, so your protection on this 165-mile job is the estimate you sign; ask for it binding or not-to-exceed. More in binding vs non-binding estimates.
Before you book Cheyenne to Casper
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 165 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
Arriving in Casper
A local move inside Casper 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 Casper are Cheyenne (about 165 mi), Fort Collins (about 200 mi), Rapid City (about 206 mi).

Cheyenne to Casper moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Cheyenne to Casper?
From our published model, full-service movers over about 165 miles cost about $557 – $743 for a studio, $743 – $990 for a two-bedroom home and $854 – $1,138 for a three-bedroom home, transport only; packing, storage and specialty items are extra.
How long does a move from Cheyenne to Casper take?
The drive is about 3 hours, but the move usually takes 1 to 3 days because it moves on a dedicated truck, because the corridor is too short to be worth consolidating. Ask for the delivery window in writing. Book ahead: 2 to 4 weeks, 4 to 6 in summer.
What is the cheapest way to move from Cheyenne to Casper?
Loading a freight trailer yourself: about $356 – $475 for a two-bedroom home, against $743 – $990 with full-service movers; a moving container is $535 – $713.
Is Cheyenne to Casper an interstate move?
No. Both cities are in Wyoming, so the move is regulated by Wyoming rather than by the federal FMCSA. The carrier needs a USDOT number and whatever Wyoming requires of household-goods movers; interstate authority (an MC number) is not required for this job. The federal 110% rule on non-binding estimates does not apply either, which is a good reason to ask for a binding estimate.
