Difference between NON-PRO and PRO license?

Most companies will require you to be a pro to be able to drive their fleet vehicles. Its like driving as part of the job to convey services, goods, etc. so yeah, its like driving for a living.

Pro - Private, public, government, diplomat & special equipment vehicles.

pero depende pa rin sa restriction,

kung non-pro, kung 1 lang ang restriction, motor lang pwede, kung 2, naman, mga sasakyan lang less than 4500 KGS gvw,

1 lang restriction kahit naka-non pro, di pwede mag-drive ng 4wheels, kung 2 lang ang restriction, 4wheels lang pwede at di pwede mag drive ng motor,

dapat 1,2 restriction, para makapag-drive ng motor at 4wheels na sasakyan.

ganun din sa pro, kahit 1,2 restriction kung walang 3, or other special equipped vehicles sa restriction, hindi pwede mag-drive ng malalaking sasakyan or mag-operate ng mga heavy machine...

paano kung nasa private firm at nag-dadala ng mga special equipment like forklift at ibang type of vehicles, at ang license ay non-pro..

allowed yun at bibigyan ng proper training ng private firm, once na nakapasa...bibigyan ng certification ang driver, na nakapag-operate ng special equipment. at nasa driver na yun kung gusto i-upgrade to pro license..

kasi bago naman kumuha ng restriction, kailangan meron proper training...

kung government vehicles, kahit kotse pa yan o tanke ng AFP, professional license required,

kung diplomat naman, strictly na LTO pro license ang hawak or international license

paano naman kung merong student driver na tuturuan?!
kung private car naman, pwede mag-turo ang non-pro sa student at samahan sa pagmamaneho,
pro naman ang kailangan pag driving school..magtuturo,

pero non-pro at pro ay pwede samahan mag-drive si student driver sa byahe...

kung family business naman, at nagdadala ng close van, as long as na private vehicle at not for hire...at non-pro ang license,
ok lang...as long as 4wheels, at pasok dun sa 4500 kgs gvw, pero kung magdadala na ng 6wheeler, kailangan na ng pro...

pag dating sa liability, pareho lang ang pananagutan...

thanks sir. clarify ko lang, i assume ok lang ang 6 wheelers na less than 4,500 gvw?

as long as po sir dct na pasok dun sa less than 4500 gvw, no problem po yan, usually yung mga sasakyan na nakikita ko na merong 6wheelers, pang-deliver ng tubig (water station)

vague po kasi yung rule of law about sa drivers license ng LTO, kaya minsan napapaisip ka rin kung ano ba talaga yung proper procedures....

eto po mga good example situation?, paano kung non-pro ay merong F-350?! 6wheeler pick-up, pero private?! surely mataas ang gvw nun?!
or yung mga private shuttle bus?! private plate din?! 6wheeler, 45 seater above?! di naman napasada?!

ang basis po na sinusunod po natin is yung gvw, so kung mabigat ang dala, mandatory na mag upgrade to pro...
kahit private plate ang dala...

sa public utility, may mga nangyayari na pro ang license, pero 1 lang ang restriction pero nagdadala ng 4wheels..
kahit yung mga tricycle driver, pro ang license ang hawak, 1, ang restriction...kung marunong naman sa lahat, 1,2,3 restriction..

yun nga po sir. 17 din po ako nung kumuha ako license. kaya non pro lang ang makukuha. naguguluhan po ako kung kailangan kumuha ng pro para makapagdrive ng truck. minsan kasi kulang driver. hehe

So is there a disadvantage of getting a pro license?

From the way I understand it, a pro license holder can do anything a non-pro license holder can do (assuming they have the same restrictions). But a non-pro cannot drive a vehicle used for commercial purposes (i.e. jeepney, UV express).

kung mga L300, (close van or the FB) pwede naman, pero yung mga canter/elf, lalo na yung mga 6wheeler, kailangan na ng pro,

kuha na lang kayo sir dct ng pro license para sigurado, siguro naman gagastos man kaunti sa pagkuha ng license, pero bawi naman yan pag nag-drive ka na truck for business.. (profit)

Exactly Sir jut703,

Hindi po pwede mag-drive ang non-pro sa mga commercial vehicles (yellow plate) kahit walang passenger and travelling from one point to another.. (public road)

kung sa sariling area naman (home garage), pwede naman i-drive..hehe

( 6wheeler ), and a Mitsubishi Canter aluminum van 4,000kgs. gross weight, all with green plates (Not For Hire) indicated on the vehicles and carry a non-prof. license, got accosted a few times by the enforcers but never got questioned why I did not upgrade to a prof. license.
