  What is considered a commercial vehicle? When most Appleton and Green Bay drivers picture a commercial car, they think of a vehicle that is used for business purposes. Maybe they imagine passenger vans, delivery trucks, or even semis. However, the definition of a commercial vehicle places is much more specific than that - placing limits on the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), seating capacity, and more.

What Is Considered a Commercial Vehicle?
Why is it so important to know what is considered a commercial vehicle? Because commercial vehicles require different licensing for drivers than a standard passenger vehicle. Many states require a commercial vehicle driver's license (CDL) in order to operate a commercial vehicle legally, and this requires a specialized training and certification process.
So, what is a commercial vehicle? The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) states that commercial-use vehicle will fall into at least one of these categories:
- 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.
