Which class includes a single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more?

• A. Class A
• B. Class C
• C. Class B
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

A single heavy vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more falls under Class B. GVWR represents the maximum weight the vehicle is designed to carry including cargo, fuel, and passengers. This category applies to straight trucks, large buses, and other one-vehicle units that are 26,001 pounds or more. The reason this is Class B is that Class A is for combination vehicles (two or more vehicles linked together) with a total GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more, while Class C covers vehicles that don’t meet A or B but are used to transport 16 or more passengers or hazardous materials. So for a single vehicle meeting that 26,001+ GVWR, Class B is the correct classification.
