Question: Does “designed to transport” as used in the definition of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in 383.5 refer to the original design or the current design when a number of seats are removed?
Answer: “Designed to transport” means the original design. Removal of seats does not change the design capacity of the CMV so long as it still transports passengers.
