- Truck tractor: A motor vehicle designed and used primarily for drawing other vehicles and not constructed to carry a load other than a part of the vehicle weight and load.
- Water-well drilling rigs: Agricultural and oversize water-well drilling rigs are exempt, but all other types need to be registered as commercial vehicles.

Commercial vehicles can be owned or registered to a company and used for business purposes, including company cars, fleet vehicles, or other vehicles used for business.
