Cedar Rapids, IA → Jackson, WY · Long-distance move
About 1,148 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,770–$7,090, delivery in 3–7 days, 96 carriers on the Cedar Rapids side and 18 in Jackson.
Jackson sits about 1,148 miles west of Cedar Rapids, which makes this an interstate relocation from Iowa to Wyoming 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 $4,770 to $7,090 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 20 h 30 min.
On the Cedar Rapids side there are 96 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (57 of them authorized for interstate work), and 18 around Jackson (13 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 Jackson.
Cedar Rapids has a population of about 137,935 and Jackson about 11,000. Jackson is the denser city (3,634 people per square mile versus 1,910 in Cedar Rapids), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Wyoming levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,148 road miles (973 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 30 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Iowa into Wyoming makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,630 to $2,300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,040 to $3,010. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Cedar Rapids–Jackson corridor.
