Do a google on commercial drivers license exemption and you will find most  
states have non commercial exemptions  
 
Ohio code 341.03 (partial)  
 
Nothing in subsection (a) of this section applies to any qualified person  
when
engaged in the operation of any of the following: (1) A farm  truck;
(2) Fire equipment for a fire department, volunteer or nonvolunteer  fire
company, fire district, or joint fire district;
(3) A public safety  vehicle used to provide transportation or emergency
medical service for ill  or injured persons;
(4) A recreational vehicle;
(5) A commercial motor  vehicle within the boundaries of an eligible unit of
local government, if the  person is employed by the eligible unit of local
government and is operating  the commercial motor vehicle for the purpose
of removing snow or ice from a  roadway by plowing, sanding, or salting,
but only if either the employee who  holds a commercial driver s license
issued under Ohio R.C. Chapter 4506 and  ordinarily operates a
commercial motor vehicle for these purposes is unable  to operate the
vehicle, or the employing eligible unit of local government  determines that
a snow or ice emergency exists that requires additional  assistance;
(6) A vehicle operated for military purposes by any member or  uniformed
employee of the armed forces of the United States or their  reserve
components, including the Ohio national guard. This exception does  not
apply to United States reserved technicians.
(7) A commercial motor  vehicle that is operated for nonbusiness purposes.
Operated for nonbusiness  purposes means that the commercial motor
vehicle is not used in commerce as  commerce is defined in 49 C.F.R.
383.5, as amended, and is not regulated by  the Public Utilities
Commission pursuant to Ohio R.C. Chapter 4919, 4921, or  4923.
(8) A motor vehicle that is designed primarily for the transportation  of 
goods
and not persons, while that motor vehicle is being used for the  occasional
transportation of personal property by individuals not for  compensation
and not in the furtherance of a commercial enterprise.
(9) A  police SWAT team vehicle.
 
There may be states without exemptions but not many. Some states have  
special endorsements which are non commercial but require a written test and  road 
test.
