Yes the fmcsa describes what is commercial, and that can get nit picky, but if you're not commercial then you're done with em and none of the other commercial stuff applies.
Right, there isn't a "Non commercial commercial license". It's either commercial or it's not.
There are class A, B, C, A CDL, B CDL, and C CDL available in my state.
If you're not running commercially, and set things up right you can run a big truck for your own personal use and have no operating rules to mess with and do it without a CDL.
This is the truck I put together for my hobby use. I singled out a class 8 semi, removed the 5th wheel, put on a flatbed and retitled it as a straight truck. That allowed me to reset the weights on the title. I reset the truck gross at 25k and put 22k gross on the trailer. The truck ran on same tags and inspection sticker as a pickup and anyone with a regular drivers license could drive it anywhere bobtail with no restriction. With any trailer it does need an elevated license. It needed no IFTA, DOT numbers, company name, or city of origin. The whole aim was to build a truck that slipped between all the limits in the rules. I carried no "papers", medical card, logbook, inspection record or manifest. As long as it wasn't being used commercially I was 100% legal as I had it set up.
