1. In completing a required skills test, an applicant for a commercial driver's license must perform the skills tests in a representative vehicle to ensure that the applicant possesses the skills required by 49 C.F.R. § 383.113.

2. To determine if a vehicle is a representative vehicle for the purpose of performing a required skills test, and for the class or endorsement of commercial driver's license for which the applicant is applying, the gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of the vehicle must be used. The actual gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight of the vehicle must not be used.

(1) The weight specified by the manufacturer of a vehicle as the combined loaded weight of that vehicle and a trailing vehicle; or

(2) If the manufacturer fails to specify a weight, the sum of the gross vehicle weight rating of the power unit, the weight of the trailing vehicle and the weight of any load thereon.

(b) "Gross vehicle weight rating" means the weight specified by the manufacturer as the loaded weight of a single vehicle.
