Ames sits about 766 miles east of Casper, which makes this an interstate relocation from Wyoming to Iowa that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,860 to $5,740 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 54 min.
On the Casper side there are 25 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (14 of them authorized for interstate work), and 55 around Ames (25 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Ames.
Casper has a population of about 59,000 and Ames about 66,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,207 and 2,355 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Iowa does collect a state income tax, unlike Wyoming, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
