Chattanooga, TN → Jackson, WY · Cross-country move
About 1,742 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,030–$8,970, delivery in 5–10 days, 241 carriers on the Chattanooga side and 18 in Jackson.
Jackson sits about 1,742 miles northwest of Chattanooga, which makes this an interstate relocation from Tennessee to Wyoming that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $6,030 to $8,970 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Chattanooga side there are 241 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (155 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.
Chattanooga has a population of about 194,144 and Jackson about 11,000. Jackson is the denser city (3,634 people per square mile versus 1,272 in Chattanooga), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,742 road miles (1,476 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Tennessee 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 $2,390 to $3,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,570 to $3,790. 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 Chattanooga–Jackson corridor.
