CDL licensing through Wyoming DOT

Wyoming CDL applicants apply through the Wyoming Department of Transportation Driver Services. Knowledge tests and CLP issuance are handled at WYDOT driver services offices. The CLP must be held at least 14 days before the CDL skills test. New Class A and Class B applicants must complete ELDT at an FMCSA-listed provider before the skills test. Wyoming uses both state and authorized third-party CDL examiners. Verify current testing locations, fees, and scheduling at dot.state.wy.us.

Wyoming CDL and energy/transit operations

Wyoming's economy is heavily tied to energy — coal, natural gas, and wind power. CDL holders in Wyoming's energy sector frequently transport HazMat materials (petroleum, gas, fracking chemicals) and require a current HazMat endorsement including TSA clearance. I-80 through Wyoming is a major transcontinental freight route with significant wind-related road closure and chain-law enforcement, particularly in the Laramie-Rawlins corridor. Commercial vehicles are regularly restricted or directed to staging areas during high-wind events. CDL holders transiting Wyoming should monitor WYDOT road condition reports during winter months. Verify CDL requirements at dot.state.wy.us.

Before you apply or renew

These steps apply regardless of state. Verify each requirement directly with the Wyoming Department of Transportation — Driver Services before beginning the application process.

  • Verify your CDL class (A, B, or C) matches the vehicles you intend to operate.
  • Check whether you need endorsements (HazMat, Tanker, Passenger, School Bus, Doubles/Triples) and confirm state testing requirements for each.
  • Confirm you hold a valid DOT medical certificate (MCSA-5876) and that it is current before applying or renewing.
  • If you are a new CDL applicant, confirm whether ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) applies to your situation — see the ELDT overview.
  • Gather required documents — identity, residency, and any existing license — before visiting a testing location.
  • Confirm current fees and testing appointment availability directly with the Wyoming Department of Transportation — Driver Services.

Medical certificate

CDL holders operating in interstate commerce must carry a current DOT medical certificate issued by a certified medical examiner on the FMCSA National Registry. Wyoming state requirements for submitting or updating medical certification vary — check the Wyoming Department of Transportation — Driver Services website for the current procedure.

ELDT — Entry-Level Driver Training

Federal ELDT requirements apply to new Class A and Class B CDL applicants and to certain endorsements. Training must be completed at a provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR). The Wyoming Department of Transportation — Driver Services does not administer ELDT — training is completed at a registered provider before you schedule the skills test.
