Can I apply for a Class B license immediately after obtaining a Class D license?

No. You must wait for one year after obtaining a Class D license before you can apply for a Class B license. Here is relevant information: Class B: A Class B license allows driving all vehicle types below large trucks, specifically divided into B1 which permits driving medium-sized passenger vehicles (including urban buses with 10-19 passengers); B2 permits driving heavy and medium-duty trucks; and large, heavy, and medium-sized special purpose vehicles. Driver's License: The full name is Motor Vehicle Driver's License, also known as a "driver's license," which is a legally required certification for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain skills, and without these skills, driving randomly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license.
I just got my motorcycle license endorsement and want to immediately upgrade to a heavy truck license, but this really can't be rushed. According to driver's license regulations, there's a 12-month probation period after each endorsement during which you can't apply for a new license upgrade—you have to wait until the probation ends. For example, after getting my motorcycle license, I need to ride motorcycles properly for a full year before considering upgrading to a B2 license. If I rush it, driving schools and DMVs won't accept the application and may even impose fines. Safety-wise, the probation period serves as a transition phase for beginners to practice driving skills and adapt to the risks of different vehicle types. I recommend checking relevant traffic laws, driving safely, and avoiding too many penalty points, as excessive violations could extend the probation period. In short, patiently waiting a year is the most reliable approach—there's no use rushing, safety comes first.
