Medium Rigid Truck Licence

With a medium rigid truck licence, you can drive trucks or vehicles with two axels and a GVM greater than 8 tonnes. Nearly all modern Medium Rigid (MR) Trucks have Synchromesh or Automatic Gearboxes; therefore, a Condition B restriction will have little impact on which medium rigid vehicles you can drive.

  • If you have to drive a medium rigid vehicle with a crash gearbox, you would need to complete your test in our Unrestricted Heavy Rigid Truck.
  • If you only want an Automatic Truck Licence, consider completing your test in our Medium Rigid Automatic Truck.
  • If you have an Automatic Car Licence, you will remove this restriction from your car licence by completing your licence test in our Medium Rigid Synchromesh Truck.

Burleigh Driver Training School provides high-quality truck licence training in Gold Coast, Brisbane, Tweed Heads, and Murwillumbah. We offer MR Truck Licence in QLD and NSW at competitive prices.
