For farm trucks, the CDL requirements vary based on the following factors:
1. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):
- If the GVWR of the farm truck is less than 26,001 pounds, you do not need a CDL to drive it in Wyoming.
- However, if the GVWR exceeds 26,001 pounds, you will need a CDL.
2. Purpose of Use:
- If you are using the farm truck exclusively for agricultural purposes, you may be exempt from the CDL requirement, even if the GVWR is over 26,001 pounds.
- However, if you use the farm truck for commercial purposes, such as hauling goods for hire, you will need a CDL, regardless of the GVWR.
3. Distance Traveled:
- If you are driving the farm truck within 150 miles of the farm, you may be exempt from the CDL requirement, provided you meet the other conditions mentioned above.
- However, if you drive the farm truck beyond 150 miles of the farm, you will need a CDL.
In summary, whether you need a CDL to drive a farm truck in Wyoming depends on the GVWR of the truck, the purpose of use, and the distance you will be traveling. If you meet all the requirements for an exemption, you may not need a CDL.
It's important to check with the Wyoming Department of Transportation for the most up-to-date regulations and any specific requirements that may apply to your situation.
