HI,
Most trucks over 6,000 unladen weight will have a commercial license in California. It does not mean it is a commercial vehicle, just that it has commercial plates. IT is more or less a tax thing.
The weight stations in California and Oregon only want to see vehicles over 26,000 pounds GVWR that are not RV's!
Even the dually F-350's that tow a 40' trailer with 3 cars on it, they are in lighter class vehicles so they 'can' avoid the weight stations in most states, and use much easier and relaxed rules about hours of service, ect.
Good luck,
Fred.
