This is correct. Lots of farms have children drive trucks around, and places like resorts often have shuttle drivers without CDLs drive their busses, which they could not do on public roads
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and whether or not they have air brakes, you don’t need a CDL. You can rent a 26ft box truck from U-Haul that is almost certainly bigger than most resort buses without a CDL. Even if you’ve only ever driven smart cars before that
Even if you’d normally need a CDL you might not need one on private property. Lots of manufacturing sites have “yard hostlers” that are not road legal and do not require a CDL to operate (in the US).
They don’t understand that private means use on private property.
Like, it doesn’t have to be licensed, I assume, if you have an old truck you use to get around on the farm or ranch or whatever.
Which makes a certain amount of sense.
But the moment you’re on the public roads, you can’t be driving a private vehicle, that’s not how any of this works.
