Our Truck

  • Has a 6 Speed Synchromesh Gearbox. A Synchromesh gearbox is the same style that you find in manual cars. If you are used to a manual car you should have no problems changing gears in this truck.
Helpful Information:

Nearly all modern Medium Rigid Trucks have Synchromesh Gearbox’s therefore a Condition B restriction will have little impact on which Medium Rigid Vehicles you are able to drive. If you do have to drive a Medium Rigid Vehicle with a Crash Gearbox you would have to complete your licence test in our Unrestricted Heavy Rigid Truck.

If you only want an Automatic Truck Licence you may consider completing your test in our Heavy Rigid Automatic Truck. It is a similar sized vehicle but takes less time before your ready for you test.

If you have an Automatic Car Licence you will remove this restriction from you car licence by completing your licence test in our Medium Rigid Synchromesh Truck.

  • You must, have held a Provisional or Open C Class (Car) Licence for a period of 12 month’s.
  • Pay the appropriated fee and pass the Heavy Vehicle Knowledge Test with Queensland Transport.
