Just completed my HR unrestricted licence with The Driving School. They were so good to deal with from start to finish.
Dealt with Jo in the office to help me sort things over a couple of calls. Tyson was my instructor, super helpful easy to talk to.
Explains things easily and was understanding of any faults. Jamie was my test instructor. Although I didn’t deal with him for as long as Tyson, he was clear in all directions. Calmed my nerves throughout the test as best he could.
Not sure if you can pick your instructors but if you get either of them you will be left feeling very confident. Thanks again Tyson and Jamie. If I decide to upgrade to MC in the future I’ll be definately booking with The Driving School.

How to Get a Truck Licence in Queensland
I did the LR Licence in a day. Staff were great, took no time to book and they reminded me several times of the appointment.
I had Craig and he was awesome, very knowledgeable about the exam and examiners. He also gave me a lot a practical knowledge for driving these vehicles safely and was a friendly guy to talk to. I’d recommend him to anyone to get prepared for the driving exam.

Truck Licence FAQs
What is an MR truck licence in Queensland?
A medium rigid (MR) truck licence is a heavy vehicle licence class. When you have an MR licence, you can drive any bus or truck over 8 tonnes GVM with up to 2 axles. You can also tow a trailer of up to 9 tonnes GVM.
How many lessons will I need to pass my test?
Most students require 3 to 5 lessons before they feel confident enough to take their practical tests. To get an unrestricted licence, you may need around 10 to 12 hours of training to build up the skills you need. Keep in mind that everyone is different – you can have as many (or as few) lessons as you like.
When do I pay for my course?
Your full course fee will be due around 2 weeks before your start date. We’ll contact you when it’s time to pay.
What happens if I’m sick on the day?
If you can’t attend your course/lesson, please call or email to let us know. Keep in mind that, under our terms and conditions, you may not be entitled to a full refund if:
- you give less than 24 hours’ notice; or
- less than 3 days’ notice for mid-week practical driving tests and Licence in a Day courses.
