Training will be done in what vehicle?
If you currently hold a HR or HC Unconditional Licence – your training and assessment can be done in any vehicle with an Automatic, Manual or Non-Synchromesh gearbox.
If you currently hold a HR or HC Condition A or Condition B Licence – during your training and assessment you must demonstrate competent operation of a vehicle with a Non-Synchromesh gearbox.
Lifting a Gearbox Restriction
For someone that is looking to remove the B Condition from their licence which will allow you to drive vehicles with a Road Ranger (Non-Synchromesh) gearbox, we have a number of pathways available depending on your experience and preference.
The Multi Combination course we offer really focuses on what is involved in being the driver of an MC vehicle itself i.e. – reading maps, work diaries, permits, skills involved in reversing 2 trailers, pre-checks, coupling and uncoupling trailers etc. Therefore, your MC training will be conducted in one of our Automated Manual Vehicles (AMT) which are industry relevant vehicles.
The cost of the course above does not include any extra training that may be needed to lift a gearbox restriction from your licence.
This training can be conducted by extending the HC portion of the HR to MC course and completing the HC training and assessment in our truck that is fitted with an 18 Speed Road Ranger Gearbox. This will be completed prior to commencing the MC training in one of the AMT MC vehicles.
The other option which is open to both HR to MC and HC to MC upgrades, is to undertake additional training in one of our HR Road Ranger vehicles. In consultation with you, we will determine when you are ready to undertake a driving assessment in the Road Ranger Vehicle.
Outcome
Licence outcome will be an MC Unconditional (Can drive any MC vehicle, Non-synchromesh, Synchromesh and Automatic Gearboxes)
