That's not the NAC, that's an interpretation from a DMV Clerk/Webster.
The interpretation appears to be different from what the code indicates.
Can you find the website information in the Code?
The web information is what caused me to research the code.
The web looks like a case of HUH!
Class C
Cars, vans, pickups, mopeds, and other vehicles (GVWR) of 26,000 pounds or less
Nevada Handbook
Non-Commercial Vehicle Classifications
Class A May drive any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating
(GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, provided the vehicle being towed has a
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 10,000 pounds; or
Any combination of vehicles not exceeding 70 feet in length with a gross
combination weight rating of 26,000 pounds or less so long as the gross
combination weight rating of the towed vehicles does not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating of the towing vehicle.
Class B May drive any single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 or more
pounds, or any vehicle which is towing another vehicle which does not have a
gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 pounds.
Class C May drive any single vehicle or combination of vehicles, that does not meet the
definition of a vehicle for which a Class A or B driver’s license is required. May
tow a combination of vehicles not to exceed 70 feet in length and not to exceed a
combined weight rating or a combined weight of more than 10,000 pounds
without any additional testing or endorsements. Interpretation: if the vehicle does not weigh 26001 or more a class C is legal? JMHO. But Officer, that's how I read the code: HUH?
Texas was 26,001 before special licensing. There is a CFR that also discusses the 26,001. That's federal I think for commercial cdl and did not research that regulation. Looks like TX/NV used the 26,001 weight from the CFR. Maybe that was and is the intent.
