Pickups used for personal purposes only:
A pickup that is never used for business purposes and never tows a trailer that is used for business purposes is exempt from CVOR, daily inspections and hours-of-service rules. This applies regardless of the pickup's registered gross weight or any actual weights of the pickup and or trailer.
This is right from the mto site. Definition of a pickup is any truck under 13227 lbs with the original factory box or exact replacement.
Even though they are plated (4 or 5 numbers followed by 2 letters) commercial, the personal use applies.
Sorry for beating this horse to death.
Happy towing!
