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.
