In the article, it states the following:

"One issue with regards to obtaining the CDL could come at the time of your road test. In most states, you must take the road test with a commercially-registered vehicle. This could become a problem if you’re attempting to use your personally-registered vehicle, be it a motorhome, pick-up truck, whatever. "


.........If the DOT says you have to have a CDL to use your RV or pickup to tow your box trailer, then you should be able to take the CDL test in said vehicle. If your vehicle doesn't qualify you to take the CDL road test, then the obvious answer is that you shouldn't need a CDL to drive your vehicle.


Maybe some of the PA guys can chime in here, but I believe their licenses are structured differently. You get a different kind of license based on the size of your truck and trailer, but not a regular CDL. They also have to get both the truck and trailer inspected on a 6 month basis.
