Truthfully. If the job required you to operate a vehicle requiring a CDL, you were subject to FMCSR. But it's not just CDL jobs. If you operate a commercial vehicle (if you're unsure, did it have an annual FHWA inspection sticker and IFTA or state fuel tax sticker?) over 10,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, you were subject to FMCSR.
Is a work truck ie electrician plumber dog groomer a commercial vehicle?
Classifications of such vehicles under 26,000 lbs. GVWR vary between states. Any vehicle being used for a commercial purpose is, technically, a commercial vehicle, but not necessarily as far as the FMCSR is concerned. The FMCSR would not consider a pickup a commercial vehicle, unless it was carrying quantities of hazardous materials which required placards to be displayed, for example.
