A driving licence is authorised by the government bodies which gives permission to drive a vehicle. It certifies the holder’s ability to operate a truck in public areas and on highways. There are a few regulations that you need to meet before taking the truck on the road. The truck licences fall under the category of heavy vehicle licences which can be broken into different categories depending on the requirements.
Heavy combination licence
The HC trucks usually consist of the prime mover with a single semi-trailer attached that has a GVM of more than 9 tonnes. You need to apply for this car driver's licence for at least 24 months and have completed the driving course from a truck driving school in Wollongong.
Heavy rigid (HR) Licence
A heavy rigid (HR) vehicle has a GVM of more than 8 tonnes and 3 or more axles. The HR Licence in Wollongong allows you to drive heavy vehicles which have a greater mass of more than 8000 kg. These vehicles are connected to one another to allow rotary movement. To avail of the HR licence, you need a normal driving licence for at least 24 months.
Light Rigid licence
The light rigid vehicles are the vehicles that seat more than 12 adults and GVM of more than 4.5 tonnes. For this type of licence, you must avail your car driver’s licence for at least 2 months from the truck driving school in Wollongong.
To procure a commercial driving licence, you need to avail a learner’s licence first. The applicants will have to pass a written test in order to procure their learner’s licence. The individuals will have the facility to apply both online and offline situations. The applicant's driving skills will be tested on the commercial vehicle and if they clear the test to the satisfaction of the presiding officer, they will receive the licence.
