Cheyenne, WY → Arvada, CO · Short-haul move
About 108 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,030–$3,020, delivery in 1–2 days, 31 carriers on the Cheyenne side and 521 in Arvada.
Moving from Cheyenne to Arvada is a short-haul move of roughly 108 road miles, heading south from Wyoming to Colorado.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 34 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,030 and $3,020, before packing or storage.
On the Cheyenne side there are 31 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (23 of them authorized for interstate work), and 521 around Arvada (164 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 Arvada.
Cheyenne has a population of about 66,000 and Arvada about 122,901. Arvada is the denser city (3,198 people per square mile versus 1,792 in Cheyenne), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Wyoming, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Wyoming, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 108 road miles (91 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 34 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Wyoming into Colorado 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 $260 to $370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,120 to $1,640. 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 Cheyenne–Arvada corridor.
