Trucking/Commercial Vehicles

Trucks are a common sight on Wyoming roads, particularly on Interstate 80, one of the nation's busiest highway routes for moving freight coast to coast. Commercial vehicles wrack up millions of miles daily across Wyoming, providing an important service to residents and not residents alike, and sustaining considerable employment and economic activity.

WYDOT and the Wyoming Highway Patrol have numerous responsibilities for regulating commercial traffic, collecting fuel taxes and permit fees and ensuring vehicle, driver and highway safety.

Wyoming ports of entry, located in 14 locations across Wyoming, are operated by the Commercial Carrier Program of the Wyoming Highway Patrol. These program can also be contacted at (307) 777-4376 for information about overweight and oversize load permits.

In addition, a number trucking and commercial vehicle duties and responsibilities rest with WYDOT's Motor Vehicle Services Program. Offices are at agency headquarters just off the Central Avenue Interchange (exit 12) in Cheyenne.
