Business permit on file and a commercial driver's license.

I disagree on all accounts. Instead of banning/restricting trucks, we should instead make them less convenient and more expensive. So:

• restructure cities to be transit and pedestrian first, not traffic first - see The Netherlands
• charge vehicle registration fees based on curb weight, since heavier vehicles destroy roads more; multiply this by miles driven, less any documentation the owner has about driving on private land
• charge an extra fee for vehicles falling net mpg targets; don't special case SUVs and trucks, just tax them (and have certain exceptions to the tax, like if you actually use the higher passenger capacity of minivans, have a farm, etc)

The taxes would go toward pedestrian and transit infrastructure to offset the lower efficiency and greater danger larger vehicles pose.

I do like the color options
