Cheyenne, WY → Durham, NC · Cross-country move
About 1,696 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,020–$8,950, delivery in 5–10 days, 31 carriers on the Cheyenne side and 338 in Durham.
Durham sits about 1,696 miles east of Cheyenne, which makes this an interstate relocation from Wyoming to North Carolina 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 $6,020 to $8,950 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 29 hours (4 driving days).
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 338 around Durham (194 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 Durham.
Cheyenne has a population of about 66,000 and Durham about 305,561. Durham is the denser city (2,513 people per square mile versus 1,792 in Cheyenne), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that North Carolina does collect a state income tax, unlike Wyoming, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,696 road miles (1,438 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 Wyoming into North Carolina 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 $2,340 to $3,310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,530 to $3,730. 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–Durham corridor.
