The route
A genuine long haul at 1,700 miles from Wyoming to North Carolina. 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 $7,650 – $10,200 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 Raleigh
1,700 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $8,500. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $7,650 to $10,200, transport only. Every parameter is on the methodology page; moving cost per mile explains why the rate falls with distance.

How these figures are calculated
At the Raleigh end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Raleigh: All American Relocation (Raleigh, 41 trucks), Zippy Shell (Wake Forest, 35 trucks), Excel Moving & Storage Inc (Raleigh, 32 trucks), Trosa Moving (Durham, 32 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Wyoming into North Carolina, 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 Raleigh
Insist on a survey
Over 1,700 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 1,700 miles of handling.
Arriving in Raleigh
A local move inside Raleigh 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 Raleigh are Durham (about 24 mi), Chapel Hill (about 29 mi), Fayetteville (about 60 mi).
