Experienced Trainers & Assessors
Looking to become job-ready to industry standards? Des’s Driving School in Nowra offers a wide range of truck driving training, including day courses and comprehensive licence instruction.
We provide training to receive New South Wales and Queensland licences for:
- Light Rigid (light trucks and buses with a gross vehicle mass of up to 8 tonnes)
- Medium Rigid (trucks and buses over 8 tonnes and with two axles)
- Heavy Rigid (trucks and buses over 8 tonnes and with three or more axles)
- Heavy Combination (articulated vehicles or heavy rigid vehicle-trailer combinations with three or more axles)
- Multi Combination (B-doubles, prime mover-trailer combinations, road trains)
Licenced to Work
The Medium Rigid is one of the most common licence upgrades as it covers a variety of trucks and buses.
To apply for one, you have to have held your class C licence or equivalent for one year or more. You can learn on a P1 but cannot practice driving without at least a P2. Next up is a MR knowledge test, an eyesight test, and you have to complete a Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment.
As driving a Heavy Rigid vehicle is so different from a car – the sheer size affecting your perspective, braking, turning lines and manoeuvring - upgrading to a HR licence is the biggest upgrade a person can take. Eligibility is similar to the MR, but you must have had your C licence for at least two years and take a HR test.
To learn more about these licences, or obtain information on other classes of heavy vehicle training, contact Des’s Driving School today.
