Vehicles weighing between 10,001 and 26,000 pounds (e.g., straight trucks, box trucks, utility and service trucks, flatbed trucks, smaller buses or shuttles, pickups with trailers or cargo vans with heavy payloads) may not require a commercial driver’s license (CDL), but they are still regulated as commercial motor vehicles under federal law when used in interstate commerce.
Employers operating these fleets must comply with various Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) safety, driver and vehicle requirements. This checklist can help ensure your operations meet federal standards and avoid costly penalties. Use it to stay organized, audit-ready and complaint.
