Kansas RMA Eligibility Practice Exam

A truck weighing 12,500 pounds would be categorized as which type according to the material?

Light duty Medium duty Heavy duty Extra heavy

Correct Answer:

Medium duty

Explanation:

Weight-based truck classifications use the vehicle’s weight to divide trucks into light, medium, heavy, and extra-heavy categories. A truck around 12,500 pounds sits in the middle range: it’s heavier than typical light-duty vehicles but not in the heavier end where the largest, freight-hauling trucks lie. That’s why it’s categorized as medium-duty—the category reserved for mid-sized commercial trucks used for regional delivery or contractor work. The lighter category would cover personal or small commercial vehicles, while the heavier categories cover progressively larger and heavier trucks.
