Wyoming's freight is coal and rail. Mines work at Gillette, Kemmerer, Arvada, Moorcroft and Point of Rocks, rail yards run at Cheyenne, Gillette, Green River, Evanston and Guernsey, and there is a cement plant at Laramie and a liquid-bulk terminal at Brookhurst. Sand-and-gravel pits are spread across the state.
A Western Star haul truck off a Gillette pit, a Kenworth day cab out of Cheyenne, a Freightliner sleeper running through Rock Springs or a Ford dually out of Casper all go through the same steps: photos and details come to us, we send an offer, and if you're happy we can come to you, buy it remotely, or you can drive it to us.
Wyoming’s trucking industry is an energy-rich state where heavy commercial trucks are critical for oil, gas, coal, and agricultural freight across vast distances.
The state road carries 37,000 lb more than the interstate
Under W.S. § 31-18-802(a)(v)(G) a vehicle on the interstate or national defense highways is held to the maximum weight allowed under federal law and to Table I — 80,000 lb. Under (a)(v)(H) and (vi), on primary and secondary highways, Table I or Table II applies at the discretion of the operator, and no federal-maximum clause appears at all. Table I tops out at 117,000 lb.
W.S. § 31-18-802(a)(v)(G) and (H), (vi).
Take the title to a notary, and check the date
The assignment of title must be executed before a notary: the owner endorses an assignment and warranty of title on the certificate, and that assignment must be signed and dated before a notarial officer and acknowledged, then dated and delivered to the transferee when the vehicle is delivered. From 1 July 2027 the assignment may instead be signed electronically under W.S. §§ 40-21-101 to 40-21-119. Until that date this is a paper state and a notary is part of the job, so build it into the day rather than discovering it at the counter. The salvage side runs the other way from most states. Under W.S. § 31-2-107 the salvage title section does not apply to a power unit having three or more axles regardless of weight, or one used in combination where the combination exceeds 26,000 lb gross vehicle weight, or a vehicle with a registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 lb. A tandem-axle class-eight tractor is caught by the axle limb regardless of weight, so for essentially every commercial truck that section is not the mechanism at all. Two limits on that, and they matter.
