Part 383.5 - Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) means a motor vehicle or combination of motor vehicles used in commerce to transport passengers or property if the motor vehicle-
(a) Has a gross combination weight rating of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more) inclusive of a towed unit(s) with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds);
Cargo vans are not CMV
(d) Is of any size and is used in the transportation of hazardous materials as defined in this section.
Cargo Vans are commercial vehicles; Part 395.8(a)(1) applies.
Part 395.1(e)(2) Operators of property-carrying commercial motor vehicles not requiring a commercial driver’s license. Except as provided in this paragraph, a driver is exempt from the requirements of §395.3 and §395.8 (Hours of Service of Drivers regulations)
Part 395.8(a)(1) Every driver who operates a commercial motor vehicle shall record his/her duty status
Cargo van drivers do not operate CMV as defined by Federal Regulations; therefore, they do not need to log.
Cargo van drivers are not required, by regulation, to have a CDL; therefore, they do not need to log.
I stand by my original comment that implied that if you are not a CMV for the seven days prior to becoming a CMV (during HAZMAT load), you do not need to show your status as On-Duty.
The defense rests.
