CDL applicants are then required to pass a written knowledge exam and an on-road skills test, which consists of a pre-trip inspection, a basic vehicle handling test, and an on-road review. Additional knowledge tests may be needed depending on the class of CDL license and the endorsements you need--for example, to drive a vehicle with air brakes, a tanker, a school bus or to haul hazardous materials. A truck driving school in Wyoming will prepare you to pass these examinations, and eventually gain employment at one of the state's trucking companies, such as Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. or Transpro Burgener.
