As a friend who frequently interacts with various vehicle models, the maximum truck a C1 driver's license can legally operate is a light-duty truck with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons and a vehicle length within 6 meters. These types of vehicles usually have blue license plates, such as the Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck or some micro-trucks, with a maximum cargo capacity controlled around 1.5 tons, making them suitable for daily hauling tasks like moving, deliveries, or small businesses. Driving heavier vehicles, such as yellow-plate trucks, with a C1 license is illegal and can easily lead to fines or accidents, as overloading affects braking distance and handling safety. When choosing a vehicle, it's best to check the curb weight and rated load capacity on the vehicle's nameplate to avoid misjudgment. Additionally, regular checks on tires and brakes are essential to ensure compliance and safety on the road. This regulation is quite reasonable, allowing beginners to get started easily without taking unnecessary risks.

When delivering goods, I often notice many new drivers get confused about the scope of a C1 driver's license. The largest truck it allows is those light-duty blue-plate vehicles with a total weight under 4.5 tons and length not exceeding 6 meters. Common examples include van-type trucks or small box trucks, which are quite convenient for urban short-haul transportation. Beyond this weight limit, vehicle stability decreases significantly, especially during sharp turns or rainy days when accidents are more likely to occur. I recommend checking the vehicle parameters on the registration certificate before purchasing or consulting the 4S store for confirmation. When driving such vehicles, be careful not to overload—carrying excessive cargo not only results in fines but may also damage the engine and chassis. Overall, the C1 license is designed practically for most daily needs; as long as you follow the rules, you can work safely.

In my driving school experience, the largest truck that a C1 license can drive is a light or mini cargo vehicle, with a maximum length of 6 meters and a total weight limit of 4.5 tons. Such vehicles include small pickups or light trucks, with an approved load capacity generally between 1-1.5 tons. Exceeding these limits is not only a violation but also increases accident risks, such as instability in the center of gravity or brake failure. In actual driving, always verify the information based on the vehicle's documentation to avoid troubles caused by negligence, and maintaining normal driving habits is safer and more reliable.
