Ryan, I don't know what the rules are in GA, but here in CA anyone can
As for the difference you mentioned, I have no idea of kind of logic (or
take the written test and get a Class A non-commercial DL. Out here, folks
with converted long-haul buses don't always get an NCDL and I don't

How is this different if a company takes a standard Bus chassis and makes it
