“A skilled driver is a golden driver,” a common saying from the time when Kamaz, Zil, and Gaz trucks dominated the red dirt roads, still holds true today. But to become a “golden driver,” besides skills, you need an indispensable “treasure”: a driver’s license.

Common Driving License Classes

Do you dream of driving a shiny Hino truck or simply taking your family on a trip in a Ford Ranger pickup truck? Let Xe Tải Hà Nội guide you through the most common driver’s license classes:

  • Class B1: Your “passport” for cars with fewer than 9 seats.
  • Class B2: For drivers of light trucks, passenger vehicles with under 16 seats, and of course, also includes B1 vehicles.
  • Class C: The “King of the Long Haul,” allowing you to drive heavy trucks and powerful container trailers.
  • Class D: The choice for drivers of passenger vehicles with more than 16 seats.
