What is a Commercial Vehicle?

You probably know United Ford as the Secaucus area’s premier dealership for new Ford vehicles and great service. That’s not all we have to offer, though. We’re also the dealership of choice for New York, NY and North Bergen drivers for commercial vehicles like the Ford Transit van series and Ford Super Duty heavy-duty trucks. What is a commercial vehicle? While plenty of drivers consider a commercial vehicle as any vehicle used for work or business, there are government guidelines that define what is considered a commercial vehicle. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), seating capacity, and towing capabilities are some of the factors that contribute to what is considered a commercial vehicle. Take a detailed dive into Ford commercial vehicles with United Ford. 

 

 

What is Considered a Commercial Vehicle?

It’s important to understand the answer to the question, “What is a commercial vehicle?” Why? Because some commercial vehicles require additional qualifications to drive. Depending on the location you’re in, 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 in Union City, as commercial vehicles often need more training and experience to drive safely. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, are you ready to find out the answer to, “What is considered a commercial vehicle?” According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the standards for a commercial vehicle fall under 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
