Workers' Comp Insurance for Trucking Businesses in Wyoming
Local trucking (NCCI 7228) and long-distance (7229) are differentiated by operating radius. Owner-operators may be exempt as sole proprietors but most freight brokers require coverage. Loading and unloading drives most claims in Wyoming. The Wyoming workers' compensation market is governed by WSD (state fund) — a monopolistic state fund (no private market), and the average rate statewide is approximately $1.27 per $100 of payroll.
Wyoming requirements for trucking businesses
