If a motorhome driver in PA wanted to be legal hauling an enclosed trailer...how do they get said NON-COMMERCIAL license. All indications are----the get a commercial license. I see no classification for class A non-commercial within the classes of license that can be obtained??????????
My enquiry is strictly for informational purposes (the only thing I can't legal drive is "P"...I ain't hauling anything that talks back to me). However, if I wanted to remove the commercial (it has medical examination requirements) and hold a NON-COMMERCIAL class A, it does not seem possible. PA classes are A,B,C & M....no reference to commercial/non-commercial.
Non-commercial licenses apparently use form DL-180, according to the web site. The form says it's for non-commercial licenses at the top, so checking the "class A" box would (eventually) get one a class A non-commercial license.
Commercial licenses use form DL-31CD.
In both cases, these forms are applications for a learner's permit, which as best as I can suss out get upgraded to an actual license when one passes the applicable tests etc.
If you wanted to drop the commercial license and only have an equivalent non-commercial license, it's not clear to me what form you'd use. In that situation I'd just call the DMV and hope I could talk to someone who knows the ins and outs of the bureaucracy.
