The route
A genuine long haul at 1,265 miles from Wyoming to Alabama. 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 $5,693 – $7,590 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 Huntsville
1,265 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $6,325. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $5,693 to $7,590, 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 Huntsville
The county-to-county table of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) has no estimate for Laramie County, WY to Madison County, AL, but the wider metro table does: about 2 people a year (±3) moved from the Cheyenne, WY metro area to the Huntsville, AL metro area. 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 517 people a year (±612) moving from Wyoming to Alabama.

| Weld County, CO | 388 ±350 |

How these figures are calculated
At the Huntsville end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Huntsville: Two Men and A Truck (Huntsville, 24 trucks), This Side Up Moving Inc (Huntsville, 12 trucks), Lambert Relocation Inc (Madison, 9 trucks), Black Tie Moving Services Huntsville Al (Huntsville, 8 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Wyoming into Alabama, 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 Huntsville
Insist on a survey
Over 1,265 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 1,265 miles of handling.
Arriving in Huntsville
A local move inside Huntsville later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $435 – $719 for a two-bedroom home and $723 – $1,317 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Huntsville are Chattanooga (about 88 mi), Birmingham (about 98 mi), Nashville (about 116 mi).
