What Type of Driver's License is Required to Operate a Water Truck?

[Annabeth]

2-14 ton water trucks require a B1 driver's license, while water trucks exceeding 14 tons require a B2 driver's license. Water Trucks: Water trucks are vehicles frequently used during summer operations, indispensable for tasks like construction site watering, road cooling, and irrigation of plants and trees. Those who have seen a water truck will notice its large appearance, comparable in size to a medium-duty truck—far from the scale of an ordinary passenger car. Therefore, a regular car driver's license is insufficient for operating a water truck. License Classification: C1, commonly referred to as a C-class license, is used for driving passenger cars. Most people obtain a C1 license when learning to drive. B1 licenses are designated for medium to large-sized vehicles, with strict national regulations distinguishing vehicle sizes. B2 is a higher classification than B1, primarily for operating heavy-duty vehicles.
