Is a Qualification Certificate Required to Drive a Small Truck?
1 Answers
Currently, no qualification certificate is required to drive a small truck. Below is detailed information about the exemption from qualification certificates for small trucks: Background: Since January 2019, ordinary freight vehicles weighing 4.5 tons or less no longer require a road transport permit or a driver's vocational qualification certificate. However, for ordinary freight vehicles exceeding 4.5 tons, both the road transport permit and the driver's vocational qualification certificate are still mandatory; otherwise, it is considered unlicensed operation. Benefits of Exempting Small Trucks from Qualification Certificates: This policy effectively reduces the financial and time costs for small truck owners. On one hand, eliminating the dual certificates saves the cost of obtaining them. On the other hand, without the dual certificates, there is no need for an annual review, saving time.
