Wyoming Class A applies to qualifying combination vehicles at or above the stated 26,001-pound GCWR threshold with a towed vehicle over 10,000 pounds. Endorsements are separate authorizations for particular vehicles or operations, and federal ELDT applies to first-time Class A applicants and certain first-time endorsement applicants.
