I'm in freight consulting and have seen many new car owners asking this question. Huolala requires an operating permit, no doubt about it. According to the 'Road Transport Regulations,' any paid freight transportation is considered commercial transport, and vehicles must obtain a 'Road Transport Permit,' commonly known as an operating permit. Why so strict? Because freight involves public safety. No permit means no formal insurance, and in case of an accident on the road, compensation isn't guaranteed. Car owners shouldn't cut corners—first, apply for the permit at the local transport authority, install GPS as required, and undergo annual inspections. The platform will review your documents; without approval, you can't take orders. Don't underestimate this—fines start at several thousand yuan, and your vehicle could be impounded or your license revoked. Don't take risks; get compliant procedures done ASAP. Safety first.

I've been driving for Huolala for two years, and my personal experience tells you that you must get an operating license. At first, I was too lazy to apply, but then I was caught by traffic inspectors and fined 5,000 yuan, which scared me into never doing it again. Now it's much better—the platform requires every driver to upload photos of their documents, and the system reviews them before allowing you to go online. Simply put, charging for transporting goods is a business, and operating without a license is considered illegal, which is too risky. Getting the license isn't hard—just find a reliable agent, spend some time filling out forms, and get the vehicle inspected. The benefits are numerous: with complete licenses, insurance claims go smoothly, and customers trust you more. I suggest drivers not skimp on that little money and properly complete the procedures to run their business steadily.

I often help friends check freight platforms, and I directly asked Lalamove's customer service about this issue. The answer is that an operating license is required. The platform policy clearly states that drivers must submit a copy of their 'Road Transport Permit' during registration, and the backend verifies its authenticity. Without the license, don't even think about accepting orders—the system will automatically filter you out. Other relevant requirements include personal qualifications, such as a clean driving record. These rules are in place to ensure reliable freight services and prevent unclear liability in case of issues. Vehicle owners should prepare their documents before registering to avoid wasted effort.
