The problem is that "commercial" can be ill
defined when it comes to our vehicles. In Georgia
it is, which is why I've bought a 5 ton truck and
can't drive it yet. Not with out getting a CDL
which I want to avoid if I don't have to get it.

and being used for and not what kind of truck it
is in the first place. Looking at the type of
truck in the first place is why I have a problem.
