Vehicles: pickup trucks.

Existing law requires motor carriers of property to annually pay a permit fee. Existing law defines a motor carrier of property as a person operating a commercial motor vehicle for specified purposes but excludes pickup trucks from the definition of "commercial motor vehicle" for these purposes. Existing law, except as specified, defines a pickup truck as a motor truck with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of less than 11,500 pounds, an unladen weight of less than 8,001 pounds, and that is equipped with an open box-type bed not exceeding 9 feet in length. This bill would revise the above definition to define a pickup truck as a motor truck with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of less than 11,750 pounds.
