A new Wyoming law lets small transportation businesses earn revenue by delivering DMV services—but only if they understand the rules and timeline.
Most Wyoming trucking and transportation owners don't realize that as of July 1, 2026, they may be able to contract directly with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to deliver driver licensing and motor vehicle services. That's the practical effect of Senate File 95 (SF0095), signed into law and now codified in Section 1, W.S. 31-1-205(a).
SF0095 creates a new pathway for small businesses—including trucking companies, driving schools, and private testing firms—to partner with WYDOT as third-party service providers. Under this arrangement, a qualified business can deliver specific DMV functions on behalf of the state, including written exams, driving tests, and skills assessments. In exchange, the business receives compensation according to a fee structure that WYDOT will establish through administrative rules.
This is not a passive opportunity. It requires a formal contract between your business and the department, and your operations must comply with whatever standards and procedures WYDOT sets. But for businesses already operating in driver training, testing, or fleet management, it represents a concrete new revenue stream that didn't exist before.
The law specifically targets "small businesses." For a trucking company, this could mean using existing staff and facilities to administer tests or handle licensing paperwork on behalf of WYDOT. A driving school or independent testing operation could formalize and expand services it may already provide informally. Even a larger fleet operation with in-house training might find it worthwhile to become an authorized provider.
The key requirement: you must be eligible to contract with the state and willing to operate under WYDOT's rules and compensation framework. You won't set your own fees—the department will.
The law is effective July 1, 2026. That gives WYDOT time to draft the administrative rules that will govern how third-party providers operate, what they can charge, what training or certification they need, and how they report results to the state. Until those rules are published, the specific requirements and compensation details remain unknown.
If you're interested in exploring this opportunity, now is the time to monitor WYDOT announcements for the rule-making process. The department will likely publish draft rules well before the July 2026 effective date, giving businesses a window to apply or prepare.
SF0095 doesn't hand you a business—it opens a door. Whether it makes sense for your operation depends on your current capacity, local demand, and the compensation structure WYDOT eventually establishes. But for trucking companies and transportation businesses already involved in driver training or licensing, it's worth tracking.
