Not sure on the BMY-Harsco thing. I am curious about that as well. I know AM General goes through no problems. To be used commercially it would need to be state inspected and tagged for its GVW. Don't hold me to it but I think empty weight is around 23k lbs. Add minimum of 5 tons payload and that's 33K lbs. You have to tag and register a vehicle for its weight and the weight of its load. {GVW}I would say if tagged commercially it would require a CDL. Best to call MVA. The reason I say this is, if I bought a 1984 Ford F750 and it has a GVW of 33K it would need cdl to drive it commercially. I see no difference. Interesting on an historic tagged truck, on the title and registration the GVW says N/A on all 3 of mine. But then they cannot be used commercially see below:
Right from Md code.
A vehicle registered as historic cannot be used for general daily transportation, or primarily for the transportation of passengers or property on highways. It can only be used in exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, and similar uses. A trailer does not qualify for historic registration.
A historic registration may also be issued to a truck with a GVWR in excess of 10,000 pounds, a tractor or a motor home as long as the vehicle is 25 calendar years old or older. The vehicle cannot be substantially altered, remodeled or remanufactured from its original design. Vehicles issued historic tags under these criteria cannot be used for occasional transportation, or for any commercial transportation of passengers or property on highways. A historic vehicle in this category must be insured by a Historic Vehicle, Show Vehicle, or Antique Vehicle insurance policy.
Note: A Maryland Safety Inspection Certificate is not required to register this vehicle.
