Truck Licence In A Day

Is it more convenient for you to do your Truck Licence in 1 day? Well now you can.

How the process works

Our truck driving school is proud to offer a comprehensive range of ‘Licence In A Day*’ training courses for drivers wishing to fast-track their truck licence in Brisbane or Gold Coast.

A 1-Hour Assessment Lesson (highly recommended – included in the price) is usually completed prior to your ‘Truck Licence In A Day’ course. This is to make sure there are no major problems with your driving, that you are comfortable with the truck and that you know what to expect on the day.

Once you’ve completed the 1-hour assessment, we schedule your driving test and practical truck driver training at our training facility on the Gold Coast, which is located 50 minutes from Brisbane CBD. In some cases, we can come to your place of business.

The Heavy Vehicle written knowledge test must be completed (if required) at the Department of Transport and Main Roads before they will issue your licence. A $26.20 fee applies, which is payable directly to Department of Transport and Main Roads.

You can practise for the written knowledge test online, but you must visit a Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service centre to take the official test.

Note for those who want to obtain an HR (Heavy Rigid) or HC (Heavy Combination) unconditional licence (non-synchro gearbox) licence

If you already hold an unconditional MR (Medium Rigid) or HR (Heavy Rigid) licence and want to upgrade to a higher class, our Licence In A Day training option can be a relatively simple process. You can use an automatic or synchromesh truck for the practical driving test and still end up with unconditional licence. This is because you already have demonstrated the ability to drive a heavy vehicle with a road ranger/crash gearbox.

If you do not hold an unconditional MR or HR licence, please talk to us. Although the ‘Licence in a Day’ option is not available for this licence class (unless you have a lot of prior experience), we can certainly arrange an HR Condensed Training or HC Condensed Training Course over a 3-7 day period. This is the recommended option when learning how to use a road ranger/crash gearbox.

*No driving school can guarantee an outcome for you and it is unethical to advertise to that effect. Extra charges will apply if further training is required.

LR Licence In A Day
A Light Rigid Licence is a relatively easy drivers licence to obtain. It covers you to drive small trucks (up to 8 tonne GVM) and mini-buses, such as Toyota Commuters, Coasters, Mitsubishi Rosas and most small motorhomes.

MR Licence In A Day
An MR Licence covers you to drive any vehicle with 2 axles (1 steer and 1 drive). This includes motorhomes, buses, trucks, tow trucks and local freight vehicles. This licence offers good job opportunities for local freight deliveries, removalists, car carriers, tow trucks and bus drivers.

HR Licence In A Day
The HR licence, the highest class of licence you can obtain from holding a car licence, gives you the best employment prospects. The heavy rigid licence covers you for tippers, concrete agitators, coaches and buses, tow trucks and freight deliveries.

HC Licence In A Day
An HC truck licence covers you to drive trucks with a single trailer (commonly called a Semi-Trailer). This includes prime movers, truck and dogs, pig trailers, floats and low loaders.

HC Condensed Training

HC UNCONDITIONAL (NON-SYNCHROMESH GEARBOX) CONDENSED TRAINING COURSE

This course is an option if you are in a position that you need to learn how to use a road ranger / crash gearbox over a few days and you are on a really limited timeframe, perhaps on a “fly in fly out” roster. This is an intense process and you need to be able to dedicate yourself to your training.

All your training can be booked in by email prior to your arrival.

If you live local and are not in a rush, we would not recommend this pathway. You may still want to get the Licence quickly and this is fine, we can still schedule your training in over a few days / weeks without you having to “commit” to undertaking a condensed course, or the pressure that comes alongside it. You never know you may even save yourself a few $$.

The total cost is $1,600 GST exempt

Breakdown of Cost:

Price includes:

12 hours in total (11 hours of practical training incorporating pre-test warm up and approx.90 minutes practical driving test)
Our vehicle to use during these allotted times

Note: After years’ experience of delivering HC unconditional Licences, we know that on average it takes around 12 hours in the seat to achieve competency with a road ranger gearbox. However, in the event that you require further training with the double clutching technique this would be charged at an hourly rate of $110 or $130 per hour, this would be discussed with you as you progress through your course.

Price does not include:

Other associated costs:

Mid-week Practical Driving Test Booking Fee $66.30 incl GST
Saturday Practical Driving Test Booking Fee (TMR temporarily suspended Saturday testing due to Covid-19)
Written knowledge Test (if required) $25.75

Outline of Process

The training would be undertaken in one of our non-synchromesh HC configurations, where you have to double clutch to change gear. Once we start you in one of our vehicles, you will stay in that vehicle for all of your training and driving test, unless your instructor feels a change of vehicle would be beneficial for you. This would be done in consultation with you and with your consent.

The training would be arranged in blocks of 2 or more hours at a time, over a period of 3 – 4 days with the schedule arranged to suit you.
We book your practical driving test for you
The practical driving test is taken by an examiner from the Department of Transport and Main Roads.

Booking Process

To book the HC Unconditional Condensed Training you can complete the online enquiry form or call our office on 07 55378101 or 0406 539613. Our office staff will then organise your training schedule with you.

To confirm the booking, we will need your Driving Licence number and you will need to pay the practical driving test booking fee.

Please see full details of our payment terms and conditions

* If you currently hold a HR Licence, you may also be eligible for your MC Licence . Although an option it is not a preferred pathway.

HC LICENCE IN A DAY

*This option is only available using our Automatic Truck. If you hold an unconditional licence, your outcome will be HC unconditional. The licence you currently hold will determine what licence you will obtain using this pathway, please talk to us

For Non-Synchromesh gearboxes the Licence in a Day option is not available, as the learning curve is just too steep (unless you have a lot or prior experience).

However, we can certainly arrange a condensed training course to suit your needs.

Cost $850* GST exempt

Licence in a Day is an option that is available to you, if you are busy working and struggle to find the time to do the lessons. You can take a day off work and focus on the job in hand.

This is not our preferred method of training but it can be convenient.

With the option of Saturday testing, you may not even have to take a day off work

Breakdown of Cost:

Price includes:

1 hour Assessment Lesson
4 hours of training (breaks as required) plus your actual practical driving test (approx. 90 minutes).
Our vehicle to use during these allotted times

Price does not include:

Other associated costs:

Mid-week Practical Driving Test Booking Fee $66.30 inc GST
Saturday Practical Driving Test Booking Fee (TMR temporarily suspended Saturday testing due to Covid-19)
Written knowledge Test (if required) $25.75

Outline of Process

It is recommended that an assessment lesson is done 7-10 days prior to your Licence in a Day (included within the price).
This is necessary to:-
- a) Assess your current driving ability and make you aware of any “habits” you need to rectify before the day of your practical driving test.
- b) To ensure you feel comfortable in the vehicle you are going to be driving
- c) To ensure that the Licence outcome you are going to achieve is what you actually need.
We book your driving test and the rest of the training you need into our diary at a time convenient to you
Return on the scheduled day (we will remind you) to finalise all of your training and undertake your practical driving test with a Driving Examiner from the TMR

Licence in a Day – no prior Assessment Lesson

It is possible to undertake all your training on the same day, combining the assessment lesson, the practical training and the driving test altogether.

However, this is at your own risk and it is not our preferred method – it is a lot of money to invest in a day course if this is not a suitable pathway for you to get your HC Licence. An assessment lesson gives you an opportunity to see what is actually involved and it gives your trainer the chance to verify that this training pathway is the best way of achieving a first time successful outcome for you.

No driving school can guarantee an outcome for you and it is unethical to advertise such. However, we will try our best!

Booking Process

To book the Licence in a Day you can complete the online enquiry form or call our office on 07 55378101 or 0406 539613. Our office staff will then organise your training schedule with you.
