A commercial vehicle with a cargo space includes a detection unit for detecting movement of a wheel suspension and/or an inertial measuring unit for detecting movements of a sprung mass of the vehicle in order to evaluate a loading state of cargo in the cargo space. To provide improved cargo capacity, improved user-friendliness, and improved driving behavior, the commercial vehicle has an optical signaling unit arranged in the cargo space which is electrically activatable using an evaluation electronics unit, wherein the evaluation electronics unit is configured to activate the signaling unit on the basis of signals of the detection unit and/or the inertial measuring unit which are generated upon placement of the cargo on a cargo surface of the cargo space in such a way that an optimum position of the cargo surface is displayable by means of the signaling unit.
