Prerequisites:
Getting your light rigid truck licence isn’t complicated.
Call us, book a course time that suits you, and spend a day learning to drive trucks like the Isuzu NQR Tipper.
You’ll work one-on-one with a qualified instructor who’s driven in sectors like mining and transport – the perfect opportunity to get practical answers to real-world questions.
And, with training vehicles that are used in industry, you’ll get hands-on experience that you can apply to future jobs.
Enrol now to get the driving skills you need for your career.
Before you start training, you’ll need to complete the following.
Here’s what you can expect from your course.
Take your course at our fully equipped Grafton training base.
Learn from instructors who’ve worked in industry with heavy vehicles.
Wait days, not weeks, to start training and get your licence.
Train with the same vehicle models used by industry operators.
A New South Wales light rigid truck licence lets you drive any small truck with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of up to 8 tonnes.
Bring your class C driver’s licence, a drink bottle, and any eyewear you need while driving.
You’ll be sitting in a truck cab for most of the day, so wear comfortable clothing and closed shoes.
Worried about running out of caffeine?
Fuel up at our on-site tea and coffee bar or walk over to Skinner Street for lunch.
Once you’re back at the training base, our assessor will take you through your practical assessment.

All our training vehicles are over 8 tonnes. That means you’ll train and test in a medium rigid truck – and walk away with an MR licence instead of an LR.
If you’re an employer, get in touch to ask about training opportunities for your workforce – including skills refreshers for existing licence-holders.
Before you start your course with us, you’ll need to complete the heavy vehicle knowledge test through Service NSW. It’s a 45-question in-person test that covers your knowledge about heavy vehicles and road safety.
After you’ve passed the knowledge test, you can take your practical assessment with us. If you pass, you’ll receive a competency-based certificate and your LR licence. You won’t need to take another test.
To get a light rigid truck licence in New South Wales, you’ll need to:
Hold a class C licence or equivalent for a year or more.
Read the Heavy Vehicle Driver Handbook, Road User Handbook, and Load Restraint Guide.
Take and pass the heavy vehicle knowledge test through Service NSW.
Pass an eyesight test.
Complete a competency-based assessment through a training provider like us.
Your instructor will teach you all the skills you need to pass your LR practical assessment. Here are 3 tips you can use to give yourself a head start in training.
We ask that all course fees be paid before you start. We accept card and direct debit from individual students; if you’re an organisation, we’ll invoice you once your people are booked in.
Yes, all our training vehicles have dashcams. Recording all training sessions helps keep our students, our instructors, and other road users safe.
If you don’t pass your practical assessment, you’re welcome to rebook at the next available opening. Because we charge for our instructors’ time and the use of our vehicles, we don’t offer refunds or free second attempts. Don’t worry, though – with an average 98% pass rate across our students, there’s a very good chance that you’ll get your licence on your first try.
