What type of vehicle is used to transport property and has a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 lbs or more?

A commercial motor vehicle is specifically defined as a vehicle used to transport property that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,001 pounds or more. This classification is crucial for regulatory purposes, including compliance with safety standards and licensing requirements. Such vehicles are subject to different regulations compared to lighter vehicles; for example, they require special commercial driver's licenses for operation, adherence to additional safety inspections, and are subject to unique insurance and legal responsibilities.

In contrast, passenger vehicles are primarily designed for transporting people rather than goods, and light trucks, while they may carry loads, typically have a GVWR that is less than 10,001 pounds. Utility vehicles are generally used for specific purposes, like maintenance or construction but do not always meet the criteria of transporting significant amounts of property and may also fall below the weight threshold set for commercial motor vehicles.

Thus, the correct answer reflects a well-established category within motor vehicle law that involves significant weight and responsibility in the transportation of goods.
