HEAVY COMBINATION

A Heavy Combination (HC) Licence is classed as:

Any prime mover attached to a semi-trailer or a rigid vehicle towing a trailer with a GVM of more than 9 tonnes plus any unladen converter dolly

MACQUARIE is well known and respected in the transport industry. We train drivers for well known transport companies and pride ourselves on producing good drivers.

We are one of very few companies that actually use industry standard Semi-trailers to run our Heavy-Combination courses. We use a Prime mover with 40 foot trailers as opposed to a Rigid with small pig trailer. If you are looking to drive professionally this is what you will be expected to drive.

Aims:: Designed for drivers who wish to develop necessary skills, knowledge and attitude to obtain a Heavy Combination Driver's Licence.
Assessment:: Drivers are trained and assessed against the RTA Standards by the RTA accredited assessors. After a required standard of competency has been achieved RTA will issue the appropriate licence.
RTA Road Test:: Macquarie Driving School will train the applicant to undertake a RTA driving ability test.
