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 dogs and semi-trailers.
A Heavy Combination truck has two types of licences within the category and these are either non-restricted or restricted. Purple Truck Driving School currently offers both, Open ( Road Ranger Gear) and, Condition B or restricted, which covers you for synchromesh or automatic licences only (no double clutching). The difference between the two licences is the gearbox. The HR non-restricted licence is a road ranger or non-synchromesh gearbox.
