Frequently Asked Questions

  • What heavy vehicle licence classes are available in Australia?

    Australia offers several heavy vehicle licence classes, each designed for different vehicle types and weight limits. These include LR for light trucks and small buses, MR for two-axle trucks or buses, HR for larger rigid vehicles with three or more axles, HC for trucks with trailers and MC for multi-combination vehicles such as B-doubles or road trains. Each licence class has its own eligibility rules, including how long you must hold a Class C licence before upgrading. Understanding these licence levels helps learners choose the right path for their job or career goals.

  • How long does it take to get a heavy vehicle licence?

    The time it takes depends on your experience, confidence and the licence class you’re applying for. Some people complete training in a single day if they have strong driving experience, while others may need multiple sessions to practise skills like reversing, turning with a trailer or managing heavy braking distances. Training usually includes safety checks, pre-drive preparation, practical driving and a competency-based assessment or driving test. Taking the time to train properly ensures you’re comfortable managing the size and handling of a heavy vehicle.

  • What do assessors look for during a heavy vehicle driving test?

    Assessors focus on several key areas to ensure a driver can operate a heavy vehicle safely. This includes strong observation skills, smooth control, safe turning paths, correct positioning on the road and awareness of blind spots. Drivers are expected to manage braking distances, understand load effects and demonstrate the ability to make safe decisions in traffic. The test often includes hill starts, reversing, lane changes and navigating intersections. The goal is to show not just technical skill but steady, safe judgement in real driving situations.
