Commercial vehicle definition and rules help

I doubt they would care about the weight, but are you not going to have dot numbers on it?

 

You will have commercial plates, you are using it for commercial purposes so it is a commercial vehicle.

Weight has nothing to do with it.

I have one of my pickups plated as a station wagon and the other as a commercial vehicle. I can't park the station wagon plated truck in areas like no parking zones or other places where commercial vehicles are allowed to park.

 

Put your commercial info on a magnetic sign instead of a vinyl wrap and put the trash barrel in front of your plate when its at home.

Its your house.. They send you the tax bill right? If your neighbor can have a 50ft diesel pusher bus and a trailer for his golf cart, you can have a ton truck.

 

What?

Let's get this figured out ... you are getting a cdl which is not needed for personal use. Right?

So if you are getting a cdl, and pulling a trailer for compensation, it has to be plated as a commercial vehicle.

 

many states dgaf how you use it. The cdl manual can say you are exempt, the trooper says here is your ticket, the court says plea bargain to this lower charge, hold us 10000% harmless and pay this fee. Next.

 

I live in city limits. They deem any vehicle of a gvwr 10,001lbs or more as a commercial vehicle, regardless of company info or type of tags it has. Basically they go after anything with dual rear wheels on. Even know 3500 single rear wheels are rated over 10,001 now a days, they seem to let those ones slide.. Check you city, or town laws. Should be on the books somewhere for you to find..

By the way, depending on what year ford you're looking at, magnetic signs won't work. '17's & up are aluminum body.
I ran magnetic signs for 3weeks. I got a level 1 inspection each of those weeks. Switched to decals & it went down to 3-4 times a year..

 

Magnetic signs are not legal in all states anyway, for commercial trucks, but don't have a clue what the op is doing. I do know the signs can't be just on the trailer, again for commercial use.
