How freight moves in Wyoming
Freight in Wyoming runs on I-80, I-25, I-90 and I-180. The state's economy leans on coal mining in the Powder River Basin, oil, natural gas and trona (soda ash), wind and other energy production and ranching and agriculture, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Wyoming
- When oversize loads can travel
Wyoming restricts oversize moves to daylight hours, with exceptions such as loads up to 10 ft wide on interstates, lets overweight-only loads move at any hour, and bars escorted oversize moves on legal holidays and from half an hour after sunset the evening before a holiday. Source ↗
- Escort vehicles
Wyoming requires front and rear escorts on two-lane primary and secondary routes for loads 14 ft wide or more, a rear escort on interstates and divided highways at 15 ft wide or more, and a front escort with a height-measuring device above 17 ft in height. Source ↗
- Seasonal conditions
Oversize and overweight loads may not move when the chain law is in effect or a highway is restricted to no unnecessary travel, and light, high-profile loads must observe wind-related closures (Wyoming Chapter 5 rules, Section 7).
High wind and winter storms regularly close or restrict I-80, I-25 and I-90, including restrictions on light, high-profile vehicles.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Questions about shipping in Wyoming
Who issues oversize permits in Wyoming?
The Wyoming Highway Patrol, Commercial Carrier and Ports of Entry (Wyoming Department of Transportation) (WHP). A load over the legal limits (14 ft (4.27 m) tall, 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) wide) needs its permit for the exact route, and it is arranged before pickup so the machine does not wait at the yard.
When can an oversize load travel in Wyoming?
Wyoming restricts oversize moves to daylight hours, with exceptions such as loads up to 10 ft wide on interstates, lets overweight-only loads move at any hour, and bars escorted oversize moves on legal holidays and from half an hour after sunset the evening before a holiday.
When does Wyoming require escort vehicles?
Wyoming requires front and rear escorts on two-lane primary and secondary routes for loads 14 ft wide or more, a rear escort on interstates and divided highways at 15 ft wide or more, and a front escort with a height-measuring device above 17 ft in height.
Are there seasonal restrictions in Wyoming?
Oversize and overweight loads may not move when the chain law is in effect or a highway is restricted to no unnecessary travel, and light, high-profile loads must observe wind-related closures (Wyoming Chapter 5 rules, Section 7). High wind and winter storms regularly close or restrict I-80, I-25 and I-90, including restrictions on light, high-profile vehicles.
Which trailer does my machine need?
The machine decides: its weight, height, width and whether it drives on. Tracked machines usually ride an RGN or a lowboy, loaders and tractors a step deck, attachments a flatbed. With the make, model and dimensions we tell you which before we quote.
