I've been driving heavy trucks for many years with a B2 driver's license, which mainly allows you to operate heavy-duty vehicles like big trucks and dump trucks. In practice, you can also drive some special operation vehicles, such as cranes or concrete mixers, but not regular cars or buses. I haul goods long-distance every day and have to be careful not to overload the truck, otherwise, it's easy to get fined by traffic police. Actually, getting a B2 license is quite challenging—you have to be at least 21 years old to apply, and there's a lot to learn at driving school, from reversing to hill starts, all of which need to be mastered. When driving heavy vehicles on the road, safety comes first—always check the brake lights and tire pressure, and don't rush to save fuel. If friends ask, I tell them this license is suitable for those who want to work in transportation—it offers flexible hours and good earnings. But don't drive private cars with it—getting caught would be a big problem because regular cars can't be registered under this license. Anyway, after getting a B2, take on more jobs—city moves or construction site deliveries are always in demand.
