Jim, it'll depend on your state's laws. If you're not driving the vehicle in connection with a commercial enterprise (ads on the side of a race trailer make it commercial) then you're not going to be considered commercial according to federal standards. However, state standards can be more complex. I'm working with my state legislature to pass a bill that'll clarify this. Currently, Ga's laws are a bit gray on this point and what is really needed to drive a 5 ton that's not used for business purposes.

Talk to multiple sources and look at the law. Sometimes the people charged with enforcing the law or issuing the licenses don't know what the law really is and will either misapply it or make it too broad or narrow.
