Best Answer

If you are seated in the drivers seat of the vehicle in question AND - the key is in the ignition - or on your person - or within your reach - regardless of whether the vehicle's engine is running or not, you are considered to be "in control" of the vehicle and therefore "operating" it.

Is a tow truck considered a commercial vehicle?

It depends, is it and F-550 or F-650? If it is one of those, then yes. But if it is and F-450, I do not know, because it is sold to the public, while the 550 and 650 are only sold to people who need them. In CA any size tow truck would be considered a commercial vehicle. In CA any size truck with an open bed (meaning no camper-shell) is considered a commercial vehicle. This means whether a company or individual is operating the truck it is considered a commercial vehicle.
