Here is the requirement for vehicles that must display the inspection sticker:
Minnesota Statute 169.781 requires commercial motor vehicles to be inspected annually and display an annual inspection decal. For purposes of the annual inspection, a commercial motor vehicle is:
a vehicle or combination of vehicles having a gross vehicle weight greater than 26,000 pounds;
a bus; or
a vehicle, regardless of size, that transports a quantity of hazardous materials requiring the vehicle to display placards;
a spotter truck; or
a self-propelled special mobile equipment mounted on a commercial motor vehicle chassis with a gross vehicle weight more than 26,000 pounds
Most likely what is happening is that the truck is pulling a trailer that puts the combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating over 26,000 lbs.
They did take out the language about trailers over 10,000 lbs because it was quite confusing about whether or not they need to be inspected. It used to state the trailers needed to be inspected if they were over 10,000 lbs AND the combined vehicle GVWR was over 26,000 lbs.
The result is that a trailer would be a commercial vehicle when pulled by a truck where the combination GVW was over 26,000 lbs but would not be a commercial vehicle when pulled by a different truck where the combined GVW was 26,000 lbs or less.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
