Wyoming motor carrier statistics
Wyoming ranks #42 of the 50 states and DC by active motor carrier registrations, with 6,838 active carriers — 0.3% of the U.S. total. 2,643 of them (38.7%) hold operating authority. Computed from FMCSA's census snapshot of 2026-09-04 10:47 UTC.
Among Wyoming's 2,643 authority holders, 1,065 (40.3%) report a single power unit and 216 (8.2%) report a fleet of 10 or more. 735 (27.8%) last filed an MCS-150 biennial update before September 2024 — a higher share than the national 25.9%.
Registration overview
| Measure | Wyoming | Share | U.S. share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active registrations | 6,838 | 0.3% of U.S. | rank #42 of 51 |
| With operating authority | 2,643 | 38.7% | 32.6% |
| Hazmat-registered | 829 | 12.1% | 7.0% |
“Share” is the measure as a percentage of Wyoming's active registrations; “U.S. share” is the same percentage computed nationally, so the two columns are directly comparable.
Operation type
| Operation | Carriers | Wyoming | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interstate | 2,807 | 41.1% | 31.0% |
| Intrastate, hazmat | 225 | 3.3% | 2.1% |
| Intrastate, non-hazmat | 3,786 | 55.4% | 66.7% |
| Not reported | 20 | 0.3% | 0.2% |
Percentages are of active registrations. Interstate (census code A) carriers cross state lines; intrastate carriers operate only within Wyoming.
Fleet size
| Power units | Carriers | Wyoming | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 power unit | 1,065 | 40.3% | 49.8% |
| 2–9 power units | 952 | 36.0% | 26.8% |
| 10–49 power units | 187 | 7.1% | 5.0% |
| 50 or more power units | 29 | 1.1% | 1.2% |
| None reported (0 or blank) | 410 | 15.5% | 17.2% |
Percentages are of Wyoming's 2,643 active authority holders. Power-unit counts are self-reported on the MCS-150 and are not validated by FMCSA; a small number of records carry implausible values, so treat the top bucket as an upper bound.
MCS-150 filing currency
| Last recorded MCS-150 update | Carriers | Wyoming | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2024 or later | 1,784 | 67.5% | 66.0% |

| No date recorded in the census | 124 | 4.7% | 8.1% |
FMCSA requires a biennial MCS-150 update. The cutoff above is the first day of the month 24 months before this page was rendered. A stale census date is a strong signal but not proof of a missed filing — check a specific USDOT number with the MCS-150 update checker.
