Driving CDL in Wyoming

Wyoming freight is shaped by I-80 as the high-altitude transcontinental corridor — wind events on I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins shut down trucking with some regularity in winter. Energy-sector trucking for coal from the Powder River Basin (the largest coal-producing region in the US), crude oil, and trona (soda ash) mining carry most of the dispatch volume — Wyoming has one of the highest freight intensities per capita in the country. Cost of living is low; Wyoming has no state income tax. The state is sparsely populated — distances are real and weather is the operational reality.

Where this data comes from

Compensation, FMCSA safety, benefits, and operational performance — weighted 30, 25, 25, and 20 percent respectively. Compensation extends beyond headline pay to include sign-on bonus tier and settlement cadence. Benefits scoring differs by hiring type because the perks that matter to a W2 driver and a contractor are not the same. Updated May 2026.
