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 defines a "pickup truck" as a motortruck with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of less than 11,500 pounds and 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. Existing law provides that a "pickup truck" does not include a motor vehicle otherwise meeting the definition of a "pickup truck" that is equipped with a bed-mounted storage compartment unit commonly called a "utility body." This bill would revise the definition of "pickup truck" by deleting the requirement that the vehicle be equipped with an "open box-type bed" and by deleting the exclusion for a motor vehicle with a "utility body."
