Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)

A Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) is a vehicle used for business purposes to transport goods or passengers. This includes large trucks, buses, and delivery vans that often operate on highways and require special licensing and regulations. CMVs are designed for commercial use, meaning they are primarily intended for transporting products, equipment, or groups of people as part of a business operation. They must follow specific safety standards and often undergo regular inspections to ensure they are fit for road use. Essentially, a CMV is any vehicle used professionally to move items or passengers over distances.
