What is a commercial vehicle? A commercial vehicle, also known as a company vehicle, is owned by a company and operated by that company's employees or agents. Commercial vehicles are used to transport people, haul goods, carry equipment, and even employee transportation.
  • The trucking industry must follow all rules of the road, as well as state and national laws that the Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration (FMCSA) impose. When careless commercial truck drivers or another at-fault party causes an accident with a passenger vehicle, the impact of the crash can be devastating.
