Yes. FMCSR licencing requirements are determined by the vehicle - not who owns it. A CMV requires a licenced operator, whether they own the truck or not. The only instances where you don't need a CDL are when it's exempted from FMCSA regulation - for instance, registered farm vehicles, recreational vehicles and motorhomes, firefighting vehicles, and military vehicles. In these instances, states have jurisdiction over what their licencing requirements are for vehicles of this type.

Do you need a cdl to drive a motor home?

No. Motor homes are dangerously unregulated in this regard. Along with emergency vehicles, registered farm use vehicles, and military vehicles operated by military personnel, motor homes are exempt from CDL requirements, and states are given individual jurisdiction to determine their own licencing requirements. Some states may allow you to operate a large motor home on the same class of licence you would need to operate a passenger car. Some states may require non-CDL equivalents to the Class A, B, and C CDL licences.


Can you drive a semi with 57 on your license?

You would have to explain what state your licence is from, and whether or not that's a restriction code. To drive a semi, you would need a Class A CDL (unless it's a registered farm vehicle, exempt from CDL requirements, in which case, your state is free to establish their own licencing requirements). I know in North Carolina, a "No tractor trailer" restriction on a Class A CDL was an "8" restriction. Taking a quick glance, I can see that 57 is a CDL restriction code in Tennessee. If TN is your state, then your answer would be no - 57 is the "except tractor-trailer" restriction code for that state.

A commercial drivers license or CDL is required to drive semi trucks, tractor trailers, and eighteen-wheelers.
