And we still don't know their definition of a truck as pertaining to truck and weigh stations
Sure we do. 168.002 states:
- Subd. 37.Truck. "Truck" means any motor vehicle designed and used for carrying things other than passengers, except pickup trucks and vans included within the definition of passenger automobile in subdivision 24.
Now subdivision 24 defines a passenger vehicle, and it says that includes a pickup truck. A pickup truck is defined in subdivision 26:
- Subd. 26.Pickup truck. "Pickup truck" means any truck with a manufacturer's nominal rated carrying capacity of three-fourths ton or less and commonly known as a pickup truck. If the manufacturer's nominal rated carrying capacity is not provided or cannot be determined, then the value specified by the manufacturer as the gross vehicle weight as indicated on the manufacturer's certification label must be less than 10,000 pounds.
So a "truck" in Minnesota includes any pickup truck with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or more.
There you go. Thanks.
