What Is Meant By A Commercial Vehicle?

Putting it straight, the term talks about a vehicle used to transport people as well as property. Though various types of commercial vehicles are available, their key role remains the same and that’s transporting things or items or humans from place to place. Since we have again & again mentioned these vehicles are available in various types, let’s take a look at these types:

  • Station wagon
  • Yard trucks
  • Motor truck
  • Truck tractor
  • Hire passenger vehicles
  • Pickups
  • Tow truck
  • Bus
  • Water-well drilling rigs
  • Multipurpose vehicle

Registration Fees For Commercial Vehicles

Some good news here! Fees to register commercial vehicle is not that expensive and goes beyond a point only when someone doesn’t pay it on time. As per the data, $60 is the original registration or renewal fee which joins an additional fee of $30 if registration is delayed a bit. However, if the registration is delayed for 2 years, the additional fee goes to $50 and if registration goes even beyond 2 years, $100 is the add-on amount. Lastly, based on the features of the vehicles, additional fee may vary further. Details of these amount are available on the official DMV website.

The Most Important Thing: Penalties and fines

Getting the vehicle registered isn’t the only thing that matters, as one can lend into troubles if rules of the road are violated. A commercial vehicle brings along the risk of fines and penalties. Since they are difficult to drive, drivers take time to adjust with them, which often becomes the reason behind them rushing into fines.
Most of the violations done are there on the record for a considerable period of time and when the violations are major, drivers can ever undergo the unpleasant experience of suspended license for an year. Want to know the worst part? This suspension appears on the record for a good duration of 55 years. However, nobody gets suspended because of minor or negligible mistakes but yes, they show up on the record for approximately 3 years. All in all, it’s all about being careful on the roads.

BOTTOM LINE

Nobody appreciates being a part of the long lines at the DMV office and involve in the lengthy paperwork. These suggestions are a helping hand for all the drivers who drive commercial vehicles and want to keep away from getting into complicated situations. Staying careful and driving right are the two sure ways to enjoy a trouble free driving.
