Been pulling a 38ft 5th wheel with a 15250 GVWR for about 5 years. A retired motor officer at a rally this past April told me I need a non-commercial class A to legally pull our trailer. Went in and took the written, then made the appointment to take the skills. Was informed that I needed a person with an equal or better license to accompany me to the test. They even checked his license!!!! None of the skills were difficult.
I too believe California does regulate and tax unnecessarly.
I certainly won't dispute your last sentence.
As to the requirement for an equally licensed driver to accompany you; if your show up without that requirement, you have broken the law, thus failed your test, before you even got there, just by driving in without the required license.
When we took the test in TX (Cl B for heavy motorhome) we drove to the exam center with our supposedly valid NYS licenses so no locally licensed driver needed to be with us.
Details, details!
