The route
A genuine long haul at 1,733 miles from Wyoming to Florida. 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 $7,799 – $10,398 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Worked example: a two-bedroom home, Cheyenne to Gainesville
1,733 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $8,665. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $7,799 to $10,398, transport only. Every parameter is on the methodology page; moving cost per mile explains why the rate falls with distance.
How many people move from Cheyenne to Gainesville
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) sampled nobody moving from Laramie County, WY to Alachua County, FL, or between their metro areas, so it publishes no estimate for this pair; people leaving Laramie County mostly go to the counties listed below. The reverse trip does register: about 4 people a year (±10). The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 1,777 people a year (±1,104) moving from Wyoming to Florida and about 1,233 people a year (±850) from Florida to Wyoming — a net gain for Florida of about 544 people a year.

How these figures are calculated
At the Gainesville end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Gainesville: A Turner Moving & Storage Inc (Gainesville, 8 trucks), Two Men and A Truck (Gainesville, 6 trucks), Ox Strong Moving (Gainesville, 4 trucks), Taylor's Moving & Storage (Gainesville, 4 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Wyoming into Florida, 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 Cheyenne to Gainesville
Insist on a survey
Over 1,733 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 1,733 miles of handling.
Arriving in Gainesville
A local move inside Gainesville later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $455 – $733 for a two-bedroom home and $759 – $1,344 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Gainesville are Jacksonville (about 71 mi), Orlando (about 114 mi), Tampa (about 140 mi).
