Do I need previous truck driving experience to start?

No. Previous truck driving experience isn’t required — your training needs will depend on your current licence and experience, and our trainers will tailor your course accordingly.

How do I know which truck licence I need?

It depends on your current licence, the vehicles you want to drive, and your career goals. Call us and we’ll help you map out the right pathway, from your first licence through to MC training.

Are your trainers accredited?

Yes, our instructors are experienced and accredited to deliver heavy vehicle training and testing in Queensland.

How do I book a course?

Booking your truck driver training course is simple. Contact our team by phone or submit an enquiry through our website, and we’ll help you choose the right licence class, confirm your eligibility, and recommend the best training package. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll schedule your training and assessment at a time that suits you.

Which truck licence do I need?

The right truck licence depends on the type and weight of the vehicle you want to drive. An LR (Light Rigid) licence is suitable for small buses and light rigid trucks. An MR (Medium Rigid) licence allows you to drive larger two-axle trucks, while an HR (Heavy Rigid) licence is required for heavy rigid vehicles with three or more axles. If you plan to drive articulated trucks or prime movers, you’ll need an HC (Heavy Combination) or MC (Multi Combination) licence. Our trainers can help you choose the correct licence based on your career goals.

Can I complete training in one day?

Yes. If you already have good driving experience and meet the licence eligibility requirements, many licence upgrades can be completed in a single day with training followed by the practical driving assessment. Additional training may be recommended if more practice is needed.

Do you provide the truck for the driving test?

Yes. We provide a well-maintained, test-ready truck that meets Queensland Department of Transport requirements. Using our vehicle allows you to train and complete your assessment in the same truck, helping you feel more confident on test day.

What is the difference between HR, MR, LR, HC and MC licences?

  • LR (Light Rigid): Light rigid trucks and buses with a GVM over 8 tonnes and up to 2 axles.
  • MR (Medium Rigid): Rigid vehicles with 2 axles and a GVM over 8 tonnes.
  • HR (Heavy Rigid): Rigid trucks or buses with 3 or more axles.
  • HC (Heavy Combination): Prime movers towing a single semi-trailer or heavy combination vehicles.
  • MC (Multi Combination): Road trains, B-doubles, and other multi-combination heavy vehicles.

Each licence class allows you to operate larger and more complex vehicles, depending on your career requirements.

Can beginners enrol?

Yes. Beginners are welcome to enrol, provided they meet the Queensland licensing eligibility requirements for their chosen licence class. Our experienced instructors provide step-by-step training to help new drivers build confidence and develop safe driving skills.

Do you offer weekend training?

Yes. We offer flexible weekday and weekend training sessions to suit busy schedules. Weekend availability may vary, so we recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date.

How much does truck driver training cost in Brisbane?

Training costs vary depending on the licence class, the number of lessons required, and whether you choose a package that includes the driving test. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your experience and the licence you need. We offer competitive pricing with no hidden fees.

How long does training take?

The duration depends on your current driving experience and the licence class you’re applying for. Many experienced drivers only need a few hours of training before taking the test, while beginners may require additional lessons. Our instructors assess your skills and recommend a training plan that suits your needs.

How do I book?

Booking is easy. Contact our team by phone, submit an enquiry through our website, or request a callback. We’ll help you choose the right truck licence, explain the training process, confirm your eligibility, and schedule your training and assessment at a convenient time.
