An air compressor towed behind a modified truck is not a “trailer” and is therefore not to be included as a component of the vehicle’s weight. Because the truck could not be classified as a “heavy commercial vehicle” subject to a loss transfer claim, the appeal of an arbitrator’s decision regarding a “loss transfer” claim for statutory benefits paid by one insurer to another in respect of an MVA was dismissed.
