The only difference between a commercial motor vehicle requiring a CDL and one that does not is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, which is assigned by the manufacturer and posted on the VIN plates of most vehicles. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration defines a CMV requiring a CDL as Such in 383.5 Commercial motor vehicle (CMV)means a motor vehicle or combination of motor vehicles used in commerce to transport passengers or property if the motor vehicle- (a) Has a gross combination weight rating of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more) inclusive of a towed unit(s) with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds); or (b) Has a gross vehicle weight rating of 11,794 or more kilograms (26,001 pounds or more); or (c) Is designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver; or (d) Is of any size and is used in the transportation of hazardous materials as defined in this section.
