The route
A genuine long haul at 1,816 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 $8,172 – $10,896 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Tampa end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Tampa: First Class Moving Systems Inc (Tampa, 50 trucks), Good Greek Moving and Storage (Plant City, 34 trucks), Two Men and A Truck (Oldsmar, 10 trucks), College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving (Largo, 10 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 Tampa
Insist on a survey
Over 1,816 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 1,816 miles of handling.
Arriving in Tampa
A local move inside Tampa 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 Tampa are Saint Petersburg (about 20 mi), Orlando (about 90 mi), Cape Coral (about 110 mi).
