Wyoming's trucks haul coal, trona, gas-field iron and cattle across the emptiest road in the lower 48. In the census FMCSA published in October 2026, close to 6,700 carriers give a Wyoming address, close to six in ten registered for in-state work only and about half private fleets. More than two and a half thousand carry machinery and large objects, close to nineteen hundred carry grain, feed and hay, fifteen hundred carry oilfield equipment, close to fifteen hundred carry farm supplies, close to fourteen hundred carry logs, poles and lumber, close to twelve hundred carry livestock, and 464 haul water for wells. USDA's 2022 census puts cattle first in 19 of the 23 counties. So the Wyoming truck is the coal truck at the Powder River Basin mines around Gillette and Wright, the trona haul out of the Green River mines at Little America, a winch truck on a Sublette County pad, the water truck on a Pinedale well, a cattle pot headed for Torrington, the heavy-haul tractor moving a rig between fields, a semi truck with a sleeper on I-80 between Cheyenne and Evanston, a dump truck loading at the Granite Canyon quarry west of Cheyenne or a Riverton pit, and the pickup every ranch runs. Each of those gets an offer. The year, make, model and VIN, photos all round, a photo of the title and the town, sent to us, is the whole of selling a semi truck in Wyoming.
The state road carries 37,000 pounds more than the interstate
Under W.S. 31-18-802(a)(v)(G) a vehicle on the interstate and national defense highways is held to the federal 80,000 pounds and to Table I; 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, and Table I tops out at 117,000 pounds. So the coal haul on Highway 59 and the trona haul on 372 run numbers the interstate beside them does not, and a truck that spent its life on the state system was built to a different figure from one that lived on I-80.
A nine-axle rig that ran Table I, a tandem dump truck at the 34,000 tandem, a heavy-haul tractor on permits and a dually that never saw a scale are four trucks and one offer process with us. The table the truck worked to is part of its description, not a condition of the sale.
The county clerk, a notary, and a section that skips most trucks
Wyoming titles and lien filings are processed through the county clerk in the county seat of the county of residence, with WYDOT's Motor Vehicle Services behind the clerks on title searches, assigned VINs and salvage vehicles. The clerks: Laramie County at 309 West 20th Street in Cheyenne, Natrona County at 200 North Center Street in Casper, Albany County at 525 Grand Avenue in Laramie, Campbell County at 500 South Gillette Avenue, Sweetwater County at 80 West Flaming Gorge Way in Green River, Sheridan County at 224 South Main Street, Uinta County at 225 9th Street in Evanston, Carbon County at 415 West Pine Street in Rawlins, Teton County at 200 South Willow in Jackson and Park County at 1002 Sheridan in Cody, 23 in all. The assignment of title is executed before a notary, signed and dated and acknowledged, then delivered with the truck, and until July 1, 2027, when an electronic signature under W.S. 40-21-101 to 40-21-119 becomes an option, a notary is part of the day.
The salvage section runs the other way from most states: under W.S. 31-2-107 it does not apply to a power unit with three or more axles regardless of weight, to one used in a combination over 26,000 pounds gross, or to a two-axle power unit with a gross or registered weight over 26,000 pounds, so for essentially every commercial truck it is not the mechanism at all, and what your title actually says is the fact to send us. The rest of the state's work: the racks at Casper, Sinclair, Cheyenne, Rock Springs and Sheridan fill the tankers, cement comes out of Laramie, 13 coal mines run from Wyodak and Eagle Butte to North Antelope Rochelle and Kemmerer, the soda ash plants at Little America and James Town, the bentonite mills at Lovell, Greybull and Beulah, and the rail yards sit at Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins, Green River, Rock Springs, Gillette, Sheridan, Guernsey and Bill. F.E. Warren and Camp Guernsey run the military fleets. Sleeper or day cab, heavy-haul tractor, dump truck, roll-off, mixer, garbage truck, wrecker or rotator, log truck, tanker, boom or crane truck, box truck, straight truck, utility truck, pickup or dually, whichever is parked outside, tell us, and say whether we come for it, buy it where it stands, or you bring it across.
