ELDT Training in Wyoming — FMCSA-Registered Online Course

New CDL applicants in Wyoming, from Cheyenne, Casper, Gillette and Laramie, need Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered provider before Wyoming Department of Transportation, Driver Services will give them the skills test. Lowest Cost ELDT is on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, so the WY theory portion is done online for $20 and your Wyoming record is reported automatically.

How to get your CDL in Wyoming

  1. Get your CLP from Wyoming Department of Transportation, Driver Services

    Pass the CDL knowledge tests, plus any endorsement tests, at a WY licensing office.

  2. Complete ELDT theory online

  3. We report it to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry

    Your completion is submitted automatically, usually within minutes; the WY licensing agency checks the registry electronically before your skills test.

    Range and public-road training is done in person with one of the registered WY providers listed below, for example in Cheyenne; it can be a different provider from your theory course.

    Federal rule 49 CFR 383.25 requires you to hold the WY CLP at least 14 days first; then book the pre-trip, basic control and road test with Wyoming Department of Transportation, Driver Services.

Wyoming ELDT questions

Does WYDOT accept online ELDT theory?
Yes. WYDOT requires you to choose a registered ELDT provider and finish theory and behind-the-wheel training before the skills test; online theory from a registered provider is accepted.
How long is a Wyoming CLP valid?
365 days from issue. You must hold it 14 days before testing and complete ELDT in the meantime.
How do I keep my Wyoming CDL medically certified?
Submit your current medical examiner's certificate to WYDOT Driver Services, for example through the oneWYO portal. Without one on file your CDL can be downgraded to a non-commercial license.
Where can I do behind-the-wheel training in Wyoming?
With one of the 27 Wyoming locations on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, including locations in Cheyenne, Casper and Gillette; 27 are registered for Class A training and 27 for Class B. Theory and behind-the-wheel training can come from different registered providers, so you can finish the online theory first and then choose a school. Each school sets its own schedule and pricing, and some registered providers, such as school districts and transit agencies, train only their own drivers, so confirm before you enroll; we do not endorse any of them.
