So, here's a fly to toss in the ointment. If you're a CA resident and want to get the non-com'l Class A, can you have your buddy from AZ drive your rig to CA DMV, even though he doesn't have the non-com'l Class A, since it's not required here?

That’s a good question. Not a lawyer here but since Cali recognizes vehicle code reciprocity from other out of state “residents,” I’d say it’s legal. As long as your buddy has a valid AZ drivers license and is a current “resident” of AZ, just visiting down here.
Only problem is, trying to convince a Cali DMV employee that you’re all legal with your AZ pseudo-class A driver present with you. As others stated, many dmv employees don’t know the technical side of some laws.
