Wyoming Commercial Drivers License Requirements
To obtain a CDL, applicants are required to complete a series of written knowledge tests, a vision screening, and a skills test.
Written Tests: All written tests are multiple choice. The passing score for a written tests is 80%. Applicants who fail one version of a written test may take another version of the test again the same day; however, each version of the test cannot be taken more than once in the same day. The applicant is only required to retake the test they failed. Written tests that are passed are valid for two years.
Oral testing is available for persons who have difficulty reading or writing. Applicants must contact their local driver’s license examiner for details and/or to schedule an appointment.
Vision Screening: A vision reading of 20/40 with both eyes is required to pass the vision screening. If you fail to meet this standard with or without glasses, you may be required to obtain a vision statement from your eye specialist. If you wear contact lenses or glasses during the vision screening, you will be required to wear them at all times while driving. A vision reading of worse than 20/40 (best possible correction) in one eye will result in an “outside mirror” restriction on the license and the CDL driver will be restricted to Intrastate driving only.
Skills Test: A skills test will consist of a vehicle pre-trip inspection, a basic control skills test, and an on-the-road skills test. Skills tests are conducted by appointment only after the successful completion of all applicable written tests. The State of Wyoming does not furnish vehicles for the skills testing process. Applicants are required to furnish vehicles for their skills test that are representative of the class of license for which they are applying. The fee for a skills test is $40. If you fail to appear for your appointment and you did not call to cancel (you must contact the exam station to cancel within 24 hrs. of your appointment time), or if you fail your skills test, the $40 fee is forfeited.
