Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
(a) Basis of registration. Commercial Trucks and Truck Tractors are registered on the basis of combined laden weight. Commercial trucks registered for 15,000 lbs. or less are registered on a combination of age and combined laden weight of the vehicle. Combined laden weight is the combined weight of a vehicle when fully equipped for use and the cargo or payload transported thereon. The registered laden weight of a wrecker or tow vehicle is the gross weight of the wrecker or tow vehicle alone, without any inclusion of weight for a vehicle towed by the wrecker or tow vehicle. The combined laden weight declared for the purposes of registration is at the discretion of the registrant, provided that in no event may the figure be less than the unladen weight of the vehicle fully equipped for use.
(b) Minimum weight for truck tractors; minimum fee. The minimum weight allowed on a truck tractor is 15,000 lbs., with no reduction in the annual registration fee for number of years registered.
(c) Display of commercial status; inspections. All commercial trucks and truck tractors must have the name of the commercial establishment or the words "Commercial Vehicle" permanently and prominently displayed upon the outside of the vehicle in letters not less than 2" high. The letters must be in contrast to their background in order to be legible from a distance of 50 feet when the vehicle is not in motion. Vehicles registering at 15,000 lbs. or less must also meet additional requirements.
