383.5 Definition of a CMV:

A CMV is the kicker here. Just because it might be tagged a commercial vehicle by state requirements doesn't make it a CMV under FMCSA standards. If it's 26,000 lbs or under then he is okay.

 

Ahh...In the Limelight 21 is the answer.......Dont make a lotta noise with this and he'll be just fine,

 

You might check this out for the info you need? Im not sure myself? http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-license/drivers

 

Might be a good idea to call your state licensing agency and tell them what you are doing and ask them? according to the FMCSA if the class c vehicle does not haul passengers and does not haul hazmat, its not regulated by them but I could be misinterpreting it? Id call the license bureau or the D.O.T Enforcement office in your area?

 

When crossing state lines, the fmcsa applies to all commercial motor vehicles. As stated before, the definition of a commercial motor vehicle is any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,001 lbs.

You have to be 21. The exception is when it is agricultural related.

 

That is correct. However, if it connects to a trailer, then the two gvwr's are added together.
