Do you have to have a special driver's license?
With a 34-38 foot class A does one need a special driver's license?

I don't, because I would buy one light enough so that my Oklahoma Class C permit qualifies. Class C is the "normal" private vehicle category in Oklahoma.
However, it is also possible to buy a type A motorhome heavy enough to put the license into a different category, particularly when towing. Weight ratings determine license categories more often than does length.
At 34-38 feet, one can find motorhomes with GVWR from 16,000 to 33,000 pounds, GCWR from 20,000 to 43,000 pounds or more. So that length range covers a lot of the licensing spectrum for most states. Weight ratings determine license categories more often than does length.
