Sec. 390.33  Commercial motor vehicles used for purposes other than

    Whenever a commercial motor vehicle of one type is used to perform 

the functions normally performed by a commercial motor vehicle of 

another type, the requirements of this subchapter and part 325 of 

subchapter A shall apply to the commercial motor vehicle and to its 

operation in the same manner as though the commercial motor vehicle were 

actually a commercial motor vehicle of the latter type. Example: If a 

commercial motor vehicle other than a bus is used to perform the 

functions normally performed by a bus, the regulations pertaining to 

buses and to the transportation of passengers shall apply to that 

commercial motor vehicle.
