Heavy Combination (HC) licence

For drivers stepping up from a Medium or Heavy Rigid licence to semi-trailers. Training is one-on-one in a heavy combination, automatic or unrestricted on a Road Ranger.

What you can drive

• Any Heavy Rigid (HR) vehicle
• A prime mover towing a semi-trailer
• A rigid truck towing a trailer over 9 tonnes GVM

Common work: Semi-trailers, fuel tankers, livestock and refrigerated freight, and tipper combinations.

Before you start

• An MR or HR licence held for at least 1 year.
• The time must be within the last 5 years. It can be one stretch or several (not counting any time your licence was suspended, surrendered, cancelled or expired).

How it works

1. Hold your current licence class for the time needed (above).
2. Pass the TMR road rules (written) test. You book and pay for this with TMR yourself.
3. Train one-on-one with your trainer in Gympie until you're ready.
4. Pass the TMR practical driving test. We book it with TMR and pay the test fee, and you sit it in our truck: it's all included in your package.
