The route
A short interstate haul: 186 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 $837 – $1,116. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

Rules that apply to this move

Before you book Cheyenne to Colorado Springs
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 186 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.
