Wyoming has 6,855 active motor carriers registered with FMCSA, the 42nd most in the country. The largest share is based in Gillette. About 45% are single-truck operations (fewer than the national share of 53%), and 19% hold active for-hire authority (above the national 15%).
New carriers in Wyoming
119 new USDOT numbers in Wyoming were registered in the last 90 days, 1.7% of the state's active carriers (close to the national average). New authorities aren't a problem in themselves, since every carrier starts somewhere, but many freight-fraud schemes use authorities only weeks old, so brokers often apply extra checks to them.
