Yes the fmcsa describes what is commercial, and that can get nit picky, but if you're not commercial then you're done with em and none of the other commercial stuff applies.
Right, there isn't a "Non commercial commercial license". It's either commercial or it's not.
There are class A, B, C, A CDL, B CDL, and C CDL available in my state.
If you're not running commercially, and set things up right you can run a big truck for your own personal use and have no operating rules to mess with and do it without a CDL.
This is the truck I put together for my hobby use. I singled out a class 8 semi, removed the 5th wheel, put on a flatbed and retitled it as a straight truck.
