Official statutory text
As used in the Oklahoma Courier Application Services Act:

application service (CAS) that enables the prearrangement of courier
services with CAS drivers.
B. "Personal vehicle" means a vehicle that is used by a CAS
driver in connection with providing courier services and is:
1. Owned, leased or otherwise authorized for use by the CAS
driver; and
2. Has an actual weight of less than eight thousand (8,000)

3. Has no more than two axles or axle combination.
C. "Courier application services (CAS)" means a business entity
operating in Oklahoma that uses a digital network to connect
business entities including itself, its affiliates or people to CAS
drivers for the purpose of providing courier services on an on-
demand basis. Courier services are provided on an on-demand basis
if the CAS drivers are free to accept or reject courier requests and
the CAS does not require the CAS driver to accept any specific
delivery request as a condition of maintaining access to the CAS
digital network. A CAS does not provide other for-hire motor
carrier services. A CAS shall not be deemed to control, direct or
manage the personal vehicles or participating drivers that connect
to its digital network, except where agreed to by written contract.
D. "Courier application service driver (CAS driver)" means an
individual who uses a personal vehicle to provide courier services
for business or people upon connection through a digital network
controlled by a CAS in return for compensation or payment of a fee.
E. "Courier service" means the for-hire transportation of
property in a personal vehicle, with each individual piece of
property weighing less than one hundred (100) pounds, beginning
either when:
1. A CAS driver accepts a courier request through a digital
network controlled by a CAS; or
2. If a CAS driver accepts such courier request for delivery
during a fixed block of time, when the CAS driver picks up the
property for delivery.
The courier service continues while the CAS driver is actively
transporting the requested property to the recipient and ends when
the property has been delivered. A courier service does not include
shared expense or transporting property not for profit, or other
for-hire motor carrier operations authorized by the laws of this
state.
