With a heavy rigid truck licence, you can drive trucks or vehicles with over 8T GVM and 3 or more axles. We provide one-on-one HR truck licence training anywhere on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, QLD, and NSW.
With our HR licence training, you can drive a wide range of heavy vehicles. It is important to note that, if you have a manual car licence and you want to obtain a condition B (synchromesh) licence, you can complete the test using an automatic vehicle. Completing your licence upgrade in an automatic vehicle makes it easier to obtain a hr licence.
Moreover, if you have an automatic car licence and want to upgrade to an HR driver’s licence, you should consider taking a test in our Heavy Rigid Synchromesh Truck. Once you complete your test with our manual trucks, you will acquire a manual car licence.
HR Condition B
A licence allowing you to drive synchromesh and automatic gearbox trucks.
HR Unrestricted
This license allows you to drive trucks with any gearbox including Non Synchromesh gearboxes such as an 18 Speed Road Ranger where you have to double the clutch.
There are three vehicle options in conducting your lessons and test, which vehicle you choose will depend on your current licence conditions as well as the vehicles you intend to drive.

If you hold an Automatic car licence and you pass your test in an Automatic truck you will obtain an Automatic truck licence.
Our Heavy Rigid Synchromesh 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.
On passing your licence test in this vehicle you will have an HR Condition B licence allowing you to drive a Synchromesh Gearbox Truck and an Automatic Truck.
Our Heavy Rigid Road Ranger Trucks either have an 18-speed overdrive crash/road ranger gearbox or a 15-speed deep reduction crash/road ranger gearbox. These will require doubling the clutch on both up and down changes of gear as well as matching the revs.
On passing your licence test in this vehicle you will have a heavy rigid unrestricted licence. This allows you to drive any heavy rigid vehicle.
