How to Obtain a Heavy Truck Driver's License?

Local residents can register directly, while non-local residents can register with a residence permit or temporary residence permit (i.e., a temporary stay permit). Medical examination items include ECG, blood pressure, height, weight, hearing, grip strength, back strength, vision, and color vision. The process involves studying traffic regulations, followed by a small road test and a large road test.
I just got my heavy truck driver's license last year, and the whole process was divided into three steps. First, I registered for a medical examination. You must be at least 20 years old, have a vision of no less than 4.9, and no red-green color blindness. Then came the theoretical part—Subject 1 had a question bank with over a thousand questions, mainly testing traffic rules and sign recognition. I spent half a month studying before passing. The hands-on training was the hardest. Subject 2 involved practicing reverse parking and hill starts. The truck was over nine meters long, and I kept crossing the lines at first—it took three weeks to get the hang of it. For Subject 3, the road test required handling lane changes and overtaking, and the examiner paid special attention to mirror-checking actions. Finally, there was the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, known as Subject 4. After passing everything, there’s a one-year probation period where you can’t drive a trailer alone. My advice is to choose a reputable driving school and practice for two hours every day.
