Level 3 on pickup

Generally speaking a CMV for the purposes of medical cards is a vehicle used commercially that has a weight rating of 10,001 or more. I do not know how your vehicle falls as for as being a CMV or not. However people sometime forget that 26,001 thing is primarily for CDLs

 

I don't know fully what the driver had listed as violations. The rated weight should be in a door plate. Without knowing anything more all I can do is advise to seek out legal help if you feel this officer was wrong.

 

Whaaaat?? They're "Shaking Down" 1 Ton Landscape Trucks at the Weigh Stations Now? Oh,Was this on the Last Day Of April? What state was this? This driver probably had a regular license or a Chauffer License.I Would think a Rookie Scale Master. JMO

 

Rated weight? Thought it was a Dodge 3500 pickup?

 

That's why I'm not trying to give specific advice here. This might be some kind of intrastate thing. Some states define commercial vehicles differently.

 

Most 3500 coming out of our plants (we do all the 3500 crew cabs) are GVWR of 10,000 lbs. So unless the trailer had a GVWR of less than 1 pound you would have triggered the 10,001 lb GCVWR requirement to be a CMV.
Dot numbers, med card, drug testing etc are all triggered.

 

Oh...The Big Apple.That explains it.
