Lowmiler Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Lost in the bureaucratic maze of the Pennsylvania DMV. No one I speak to there seems to know how to obtain a NON-commercial Class A. All they know is CDL. This is all I can find on their website: http://www.dmv.pa.gov/Driver-Services/Driver-Information/License-Types/Pages/default.aspx Anyone here know the steps I need to take to get this license?

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 If the first words of the site are: Classes of Driver's Licenses Non-commercial Driver's Licenses I guess I would point the Pennsylvania DMV to their website. To be fair, the definition of Exempt CDL (Non-commercial) is very narrow in PA and seldom does a DMV person has to answer to an exempt CDL license. The same is true with PA and EZ-Pass for a motorhome which is a special category in PA EZ-Pass and damn near impossible to find how to get one. It is all about trucks.

You misread my "Its about trucks" statement. I was referring to the text of the PA on EZ-Pass. All the descriptive text is for trucks. You are directed to that part of the website if you have a motorhome and then they do not talk about motorhomes.

packnrat Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 ok, i am a bit jaded as a class A driver. we are at times harassed. and tickets for me ( even on my motorbike) are far larger in fines, than any other class of driver. here in ca it all about money. even just crossing one of the bay bridges is something like $15. usd - $20.usd and thats on top of all the other taxes. i just collect pay stubs, so only hear about it.

How many tickets have you been issued? Obviously enough to "compare" with every other class of driver. Hmm...

Kirk W Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Quote A CHP officer who saw Sundquist, 35, look at his phone pulled him over and gave him a $162 ticket for violating Section 23123 (a) of the California Vehicle Code, which prohibits using a cellphone while driving. Sundquist was confused. He thought he had read that it was OK to look at a GPS map while behind the wheel. This came from the LA Times. And from Nolo.com is..... Quote Fines and Points The base fine for a first offense is $20. For second and subsequent offenses, the fine is $50. But remember—the actual amount you’ll pay once assessments are added will be significantly more than the base fine. The total for a first violation will likely exceed $150, and a second or subsequent offense can cost over $250. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Jim DeZerga Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 http://changingears.com/rv-sec-state-rv-license.shtml This might help. Also, the link you provided has a search. Search "NCDL". It looks like PA has several 3rd party testing businesses. Youight want to call the one closest to you and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
