(1)
Solo vehicle, for the purposes of ORS
825.005(4) and

that is self-propelled or designed for self-propulsion. It includes, but is not
limited to: A truck tractor, a dromedary truck-tractor, a motor truck, a bus, a
fixed load power unit, or any motor vehicle used in furtherance of a commercial
business.
(2) The declared weight
for a solo motor vehicle that is designed and used exclusively to pull trailers
and cannot carry a load on the motor vehicle itself is determined by
subtracting the maximum weight the trailer can legally carry from the declared
weight of the first combination weight for the vehicle.
(3) The declared weight for a solo motor
vehicle that is designed and used to haul a load, or is a fixed load power
unit, and does not operate in combination with a trailer is the highest weight
at which the motor carrier declares the vehicle will be operated.
(4) The declared weight for a solo motor
vehicle that is designed and used to haul a load or is a fixed load power unit,
and operates in combination with a trailer is determined by subtracting the
maximum weight the trailer can legally carry from the declared weight of the
first combination weight for the vehicle, or the highest weight at which the
motor carrier declares the vehicle will be operated, whichever is
greater.
(5) When the declared
weight of a solo vehicle is 26,000 pounds or less, all solo operations are
subject to use fuel tax unless the actual weight is over 26,000
pounds.
(6) If the weight of a solo
vehicle exceeds 26,000 pounds, all solo operations during the reporting period
