Where the car is going sets it, and Cheyenne starts from a good position. This is the one place in Wyoming where a coast-to-coast interstate crosses a major north-south one, so most destinations already have trucks running toward them. Distance puts you in a national price band and we publish those across the site. For the exact number, drop both zip codes and the vehicle into the calculator and it takes about a minute, or call and we will price it with you.

Because the trucks are already here. I-80 and I-25 meet in Cheyenne at a full cloverleaf, and I-80 is one of the busiest coast-to-coast freight routes in the country. Every other market in the state has to reach a corridor first, and Casper, for instance, sits 178 miles up I-25 from this interchange. In Cheyenne the corridor is the city. That usually shows up as shorter notice and a wider choice of trucks.

It helps a lot, and it is the second reason this market works well. Denver is about 100 miles down I-25 and it is a serious freight hub, with Fort Collins only 45 miles away and Colorado Springs about 170. Carriers working the Front Range treat Cheyenne as the top of that run rather than as a trip into Wyoming, so a Cheyenne pickup often rides a truck that was already loading in Colorado.

One to two days to Fort Collins or Denver, one to three to Casper, Rapid City, Salt Lake City or Omaha, two to four to Albuquerque or Las Vegas, and three to five to Phoenix, Chicago, Los Angeles or Seattle. Those days begin when the car goes on the trailer. Your collection window sits ahead of them, and on this corridor pickups tend to land early in it.

Ten days to two weeks is usually plenty, which is less than most of Wyoming asks for. The interchange and the Front Range next door mean we are matching you to trucks already running rather than arranging a special trip. Book three to four weeks out if you are moving in July, when Cheyenne Frontier Days fills the city, or in January when westbound weather is at its most changeable.

It runs all winter, and the useful thing to know is that direction matters more than the date does. Heading east or south you drop onto open plains and conditions ease quickly. Heading west you climb Sherman Summit between here and Laramie, the highest point on the whole of I-80 at about 8,640 feet. Drivers who run this road know it well and plan for it, so a westbound January move simply wants a few extra days of notice.

It is what drivers have long called the 77-mile stretch of I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins, because of how much winter weather it gathers. It sits west of Cheyenne, so it only concerns you if your car is heading that way, and the carriers who work this corridor watch it closely and time their runs around it. For anything going east, south or north out of Cheyenne it does not come into the picture at all.

It is the spread of days inside which your car will be collected, counted forward from the date you name. Six days on standard, three on expedited. Widening it is the cheapest way to improve your price anywhere, and in Cheyenne it often costs you nothing in practice, since trucks come through this interchange constantly rather than occasionally.

Nearly always, right at the address. Cheyenne streets are wide, the grid is generous, and the newer areas out toward Dell Range Boulevard, Yellowstone Road and the south side all take a full-size carrier with room to spare. The older blocks in the downtown historic district near Capitol Avenue are tighter, and there we pick an open spot a few minutes away and load there instead, at no cost to you.

Yes, and this corner covers a lot of ground. Laramie, Casper, Rawlins, Rock Springs, Green River, Evanston, Wheatland, Torrington, Douglas and Pine Bluffs are all routine, as is everywhere on the I-80 and I-25 lines. Northern Colorado works the same way, with Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley and Windsor handled as part of the same corridor. The mountain towns off the interstates want a little more notice and we will tell you how much.

Open, for a daily driver, and it is what most shipments through here use. Plan on about 80 percent more than open for enclosed. A $1,000 open move is roughly $1,800 enclosed. A hard-sided trailer takes two to six cars against ten on an open one, so fewer vehicles share the cost of the run. It earns that on a classic, an exotic, fresh paint, a car too low to clear a ramp, or a winter run west over the summit.

Yes to both. The carrier hauling your vehicle holds Carrier Cargo Insurance and it applies for every mile, with that carrier's certificate of insurance on file with us once a truck is assigned and a copy sent over whenever you ask. And the price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the vehicle, the route, the condition and the shipping details stay the same. If anything genuinely changes before the truck moves, you hear what it does to the number first.
