I have held a C1 driver's license for ten years and often use it to drive small trucks for small business deliveries, such as pickups or mini vans. The vehicle length should not exceed 6 meters, and the total weight (including cargo) is limited to within 4.5 tons, with a cargo load not exceeding 1.5 tons. In actual driving, I have chosen several models, such as the Great Wall Fengjun or Wuling Rongguang light trucks, which are very suitable for transporting light goods or tools. However, it is essential to avoid overloading. Once, when transporting furniture, I weighed it and found it was close to the limit, so I reduced the cargo in time to avoid fines. These vehicles are easy to control, flexible in turning, and even beginners can get the hang of them quickly. However, regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to prevent electrical faults.
