What Is Considered a Commercial Vehicle?

Why is it important to understand what qualifies a commercial vehicle? Because some commercial vehicles require additional qualifications to drive. Depending on where your business is located, you may need a commercial vehicle driver’s license (CDL) to operate a commercial vehicle legally.

It’s best to check your local laws to ensure that you’re operating your commercial vehicle legally as commercial vehicles often need more training and experience to drive safely. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, you are ready to find out the answer to the question, “What is considered a commercial vehicle?” According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a vehicle is considered commercial if it meets one of these conditions:

  • Having a GVWR of 10,001 pounds or more.
  • Designed to transport more than 15 passengers including the driver for no compensation.
  • Designed to transport more than 8 passengers for compensation.
  • Designed to transport hazardous materials in quantities requiring the vehicle to be placarded.
