Oh, light-duty general trucks are what we commonly call small trucks, mainly used for transporting goods with a load capacity of around 3 to 4 tons, falling under the commercial vehicle category. When I drive this truck for deliveries, I find it much more agile than large trucks, easier to navigate in the city, and more fuel-efficient. When buying one, make sure the total mass does not exceed 4500 kg, otherwise you'll need a yellow license plate, which comes with significantly higher insurance costs. Everyone buying this type of vehicle should remember to regularly check the braking system and tires—safety first, especially when transporting goods at night, ensuring bright lighting is crucial. Additionally, many young people nowadays use it to start businesses like courier services—it's economical and quick to get started.
