My friend Tuan, a construction material transporter, has driven his Dongfeng truck for nearly a decade. Recently, he planned to move South to Dong Nai to pursue new business opportunities. He confided in me about wanting to change his truck’s license plate for better “Feng Shui” in the South, but he wasn’t clear about the procedures and fees involved in changing license plates across provinces. As a “truck expert” at XE TẢI HÀ NỘI, I took the time to research and share this helpful information with Tuan and our readers interested in this topic.
