For this purpose, a CMV is a truck tractor; a three-axle motor truck with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 10,000 pounds; any combination of motor truck and trailer exceeding 40 feet in length; any motor truck transporting hazardous materials; any CMV listed in CVC Section 15210; a motor truck of two or more axles with a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs; and any other motor vehicle used to transport property for compensation, with some exceptions.
All Motor Carriers are required to obtain an MCP and are not allowed to operate on California highways without first obtaining an MCP.
