Cheyenne, WY → Birmingham, AL · Long-distance move
About 1,317 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,080–$7,560, delivery in 3–7 days, 31 carriers on the Cheyenne side and 395 in Birmingham.
Moving from Cheyenne to Birmingham is a long-distance move of roughly 1,317 road miles, heading east from Wyoming to Alabama.
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 $5,080 to $7,560 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 23 h 24 min.
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 395 around Birmingham (208 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 Birmingham.
Cheyenne has a population of about 66,000 and Birmingham about 195,893. Cheyenne is considerably denser (1,792 people per square mile versus 1,366), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Wyoming, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Alabama does collect a state income tax, unlike Wyoming, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,317 road miles (1,116 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 24 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 Wyoming into Alabama 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 $1,800 to $2,550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,200 to $3,230. 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–Birmingham corridor.
