Any CMV with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 10,000 lbs. and which is being operated across state lines requires a current and valid DOT medical card. Any vehicle under 26,000 GVW which is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) requires a CDL, ergo it requires a medical card. Same with any vehicle carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placards to be displayed.

If the commercial vehicle requires a CDL to drive it, you do.

Interstate non-excepted means that a commercial driver who holds a commercial driver's license (CDL) is required to provide a current medical certificate to operate a commercial motor vehicle across state lines. It indicates that the driver is not exempt from federal medical examination requirements.
No. A vehicle is commercial in nature based on its usage. More the same with classifying it as a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), which requires an FHWA annual inspection sticker, registration as such, and DOT medical cards if used in interstate operations. Stack size does nothing to change the manner of use or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle.
Sometimes. Depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle, whether its use is for interstate or intrastate commerce, etc.
The Mercury Mariner is a passenger vehicle. It's only a commercial vehicle if used for commercial purposes. If it has passenger plates, it is not considered a commercial vehicle, and is not subject to commercial vehicle restrictions.
No, a certificate of title and vehicle registration are not the same. A certificate of title proves ownership of a vehicle, while registration is a legal requirement to drive the vehicle on public roads.
No, a registration certificate and a title for a vehicle are not the same. A registration certificate is proof that a vehicle is registered with the state, while a title is a legal document that shows ownership of the vehicle.
No, a certificate of title and a certificate of registration are not the same. A certificate of title proves ownership of a vehicle, while a certificate of registration shows that the vehicle has been registered with the appropriate authorities.
If you operate a commercial vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 10,000 lbs., you're supposed to have the DOT Medical Card.
You're required to have a current medical card on your person at all time when you're driving a vehicle which requires a CDL. In any state. That's federal law.
