The definition of a commercial motor vehicle is described as the following:

Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle— (1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater; or (2) Is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; or (3) Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or (4) Is used in transporting material found by the Secretary of Transportation to be hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and transported in a quantity requiring placarding under regulations prescribed by the Secretary under 49 CFR, subtitle B, chapter I, subchapter C

Simply stated, if you drive a vehicle that either:

A. Has a rating of 5 tons or more used for compensation( Rated weight not capacity);

B. Hauls Hazardous materials that requires a Placard

You will need to have several safety programs in place!

With MCCS you will get professionals that have attended over 300 Compliance Reviews in 10 states!

We have Transportation experts on staff as declared in a court of law! We also have performed Safety meeting and training seminars, for the propane, fuel oil, construction, and oilfield associations.

A compliance review is when State or Federal officers will perform an audit, and the inspectors will be looking at many parts of your safety fitness! They will look at Driver Qualification files, logs or time records, Drug and Alcohol (Consortium), Maintenance, and if you haul Hazardous materials, training, certifications, and Security Plans!

If you are a new company, you will also be visited. A new program was put in place in 2003, which every state has to do a scaled down review called a Safety Audit. Right now it is very easy to pass these audits. But like the ever changing regulations, these will become much harder to pass! If you do not pass these audits it will turn into a Compliance Review that will result in a fine against your company!
