But because the truck is light they fly under the radar ,and revenue is lost while retirees and snowbirds get the shaft.
Commercial is easy, if it has black & white plates it's commercial. Period. It might however qualify for a 'personal use' exemption.

If the truck, the trailer, or both, physically weigh over, or have a GVWR that exceeds 4,500 KG (9,900 pounds) you need a yellow sticker on both. So if you have a cargo trailer with a 3,500 pound axle under it, and it's pulled by a 1/2 ton (6,720 pound GVWR) your net GVWR is 10,220 pounds.
You just showed up on radar.
