WTF Is a Commercial Vehicle?




I know what you're thinking: "Duh, a commercial vehicle is a vehicle used for commercial purposes." But what does that even mean?

If you're ever in a situation where you're trying to figure out if a vehicle is commercial or not, here are a few things to consider:

  • Size: Commercial vehicles are usually larger than passenger vehicles.
  • Weight: Commercial vehicles are also heavier than passenger vehicles.
  • Purpose: Commercial vehicles are used to transport goods or people for business purposes.

For example, a semi-truck would be considered a commercial vehicle because it's used to transport goods, it's large and heavy, and it's used for business purposes.


But what about a pickup truck? Well, it depends on how it's being used.

If you're using a pickup truck to transport goods for your business, then it would be considered a commercial vehicle.

But if you're using a pickup truck just to get to and from work, then it would be considered a passenger vehicle.

So, there you have it. The next time you're trying to figure out if a vehicle is commercial or not, just remember the three C's: size, weight, and purpose.

And if you're still not sure, just ask yourself, "Is this vehicle being used for business purposes?" If the answer is yes, then it's probably a commercial vehicle.
