Newark, NJ → Casper, WY · Cross-country move
About 1,950 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,000–$10,420, delivery in 5–10 days, 2,782 carriers on the Newark side and 25 in Casper.
The route from Newark, NJ to Casper, WY covers roughly 1,950 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $7,000 to $10,420 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 34 hours (4 driving days).
On the Newark side there are 2,782 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,591 of them authorized for interstate work), and 25 around Casper (14 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 Casper.
Newark has a population of about 323,808 and Casper about 59,000. Newark is considerably denser (12,927 people per square mile versus 2,207), 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 Wyoming than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Wyoming levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,950 road miles (1,653 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 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 New Jersey 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 $2,750 to $3,890 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,760 to $4,060. 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 Newark–Casper corridor.
