HC - Heavy Combination Licence (Open Road Ranger) Driving Lesson
Heavy Combination Licence (Open Road Ranger)
Lesson Fee: $203.50/hour
Obtaining a Heavy Combination (HC) licence allows you to drive a truck or prime mover towing one trailer above 9 tonne in weight. You must have held a MR or HR licence for at least 12 months to be eligible. Trucks in this category include truck, dogs and semi-trailers.
A Heavy Combination truck has two types of licences within the category and these are either non-restricted (Open ) or restricted (Condition B). Purple Truck Driving School currently offers both Open and Condition B or restricted, which covers you for all your truck driving needs. The difference between the two licences is the gearbox. The HR non-restricted licence is a road ranger or non-synchromesh gearbox.
Throughout the training you will cover:
• Road laws
• Pre-drive checks
• Starting and stopping sequences
• Demonstration drive
• City and highway driving
• Load security
• Cabin checks
• Defensive driving
• Turning and handling
• Vehicle positioning

• You must pass the on road practical driving test
