Is there a certain logo, color or object that I need to look for? Have an example? Or is it just the GVW #? I've seen 2 sprinter cabs that have been said to be class 2, so hopefully they are!

So looking at the rules, it looks like this truck would be OK, right? I wouldn't need to stop at most weighing stations, and wouldn't need a DOTNumber, correct? 2006 Dodge / Ram Sprinter, Los Angeles CA - 110827828 - CommercialTruckTrader.com

This truck is 10,000. Would I need a DOT Number?

@Moot - Thanks for the advice, I like that vehicle! Where can I find it? I can't seem to find it anywhere. And yepp, pretty much looking for a vehicle with the best MPG and at least 550+ cubic feet of storage that is less than 10,000 GVWR. Any advice would be perfect guys!!

I am so confused. How many times do I need to state this. The combined weight of the vehicle and freight when full will not be over 10,000 lbs....

1k is the price after all the fees/per day rentals. I could get a truck from budget or penske one way each way, but I have to switch trucks, and their vehicles get like 6mpg instead of 12. It's just dumb to throw that much money away. I understand what the 10k means. I am saying the complete...

Everyone - It literally cost me $1k to rent a vehicle for Salt Lake, let alone a farther trip. We need the vehicle for a week for each show. At 30 shows, that would be 30k. Additionally, I'd like to have a vehicle to use around town, if we start selling to other stores and need to make...

So in my position, what would you do? Are there cargo vans with 600 cubic feet of cargo space?

Understood. How many small box truck vehicles get away without being commercial?

What do you mean? I'm saying I'd purchase a vehicle and travel with less cargo to get around it. I'm not trying to "cheat" the system, I'm trying to not be commercial.

Only in the summer. Favorable weather. We need to purchase a truck. It's not an option. It's dumb to keep renting a vehicle for 15 shows when I can purchase one.

Most of the time we will be flooring it through the middle of nowhere, so would it just be wiser to grab a simple box truck? Since we are buying used, I doubt the vehicle will be in anything better than decent shape. Ok, so if the vehicle is over 10,000 weight, I need to stop at weighing...

Hey guys, Looking for some advice. I own a comic book store, and we starting doing really well with some of the Comic Con shows last year. This year we're signed up for more than 15 shows in various states, and I'm looking for as much advice as possible on what vehicle would be optimal for our...
