    Comprehensive MR Truck Driving Assessments

    We provide two proven methods for obtaining an MR truck license: Vehicles on Road Test (VORT) and Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBT&A). Both options are designed to suit your individual learning style and schedule, ensuring a seamless path to becoming a licensed MR truck driver.

    Vehicles on Road Test (VORT)

    The VORT method is a structured approach with a single pass-or-fail assessment conducted at the end of your training. This process includes:

    • A 1.5-hour warm-up lesson to prepare you for the assessment.
    • A 1.5-hour driving test where your skills and knowledge are evaluated.

    This option is ideal for individuals who feel confident in their driving abilities and prefer a single assessment to prove their competency.

    Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBT&A)

    The CBT&A method provides a more flexible and supportive learning experience. In this program:

    • Assessments are conducted throughout your training sessions instead of one final test.
    • You have opportunities for retraining and reassessment to address any areas requiring improvement.

    This option is particularly beneficial for learners who prefer gradual progress and continuous feedback.

    MR Truck License Course Requirements

    Before enrolling in an MR Truck Driving Course, ensure you meet the following criteria:
    • License Experience: You must have held a Class C driver’s license for at least 12 months.
    • Minimum Age: Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
    • Assessment: Successfully complete a practical driving test or a competency-based training course under the supervision of an authorised examiner.
    • Learner’s Permit Conditions: If you already meet the minimum driving experience for the LR license class, you can drive LR-class vehicles under learner permit conditions without needing to apply for a separate learner’s permit.

    Medical Requirements

    If you have a medical condition that could impact your ability to safely operate a vehicle, such as diabetes, epilepsy, or vision impairments, additional documentation may be required:

    • Certificate of Fitness: You may need to provide this certificate to confirm you meet the medical standards for operating a heavy vehicle.
    • Specialist Clearance: Depending on your condition, a clearance from a specialist might be necessary before obtaining your LR truck license.

    At Tokhi Driving Solutions, we simplify the licensing process by offering clear guidance on medical and fitness documentation requirements. Our team is here to ensure your journey to an LR truck license is smooth and hassle-free.

    What Can I Drive with an MR Class Licence?

    An MR (Medium Rigid) truck licence provides drivers with the qualifications needed to operate a variety of vehicles used in different sectors such as transport, construction, and logistics. With an MR licence, you can drive vehicles that are larger and heavier than those permitted under a Class C licence, offering more flexibility in your driving career. Here’s an overview of the vehicles you’re authorised to drive and tow with an MR class licence.
    Vehicles You Can Drive with an MR Licence
    Holding an MR truck licence allows you to drive a wide range of vehicles. This includes all vehicles allowed under the preceding Class C licence, as well as medium rigid trucks, two-axle vehicles, and larger vehicles such as tippers and buses with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) over 8 tonnes. MR licence holders can also drive special purpose vehicles with either 2 axles and a GVM greater than 8 tonnes, or vehicles with 3 or more axles and a GVM up to 15 tonnes. This gives you the flexibility to operate heavy-duty vehicles across various industries, from transport to construction.
    Towing Capabilities with an MR Licence

    In addition to driving larger vehicles, an MR licence also gives you the ability to tow certain types of trailers. You can tow a single trailer (excluding semi-trailers) with a GVM up to 9 tonnes, as long as the combined mass of the vehicle and trailer complies with the limits set under the Heavy Vehicle National Law in South Australia. MR licence holders are also permitted to tow farm implements, making it a versatile option for those in agriculture or rural industries. However, it is important to always ensure the Gross Combination Mass (GCM) limits of the towing vehicle are not exceeded.

    With the MR truck licence, you open up many opportunities to drive larger, more specialised vehicles while adhering to important safety and legal requirements.

    MR Truck Driving Course FAQs

    What is the MR Truck Driving Course, and why should I get one?
    The MR Truck Driving Course allows you to drive larger vehicles, such as trucks, buses, and tippers, with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) over 8 tonnes. It’s ideal for those seeking to advance their career in industries like transport and construction by gaining the skills needed for operating medium rigid trucks.
    What are the eligibility requirements for the MR Truck Driving Course?
    To enrol, you must have held a Class C driver’s licence for at least 12 months, be 18 or older, and pass a practical driving test or a competency-based course. If you have medical conditions that affect your driving, you may need to provide a Certificate of Fitness or specialist clearance.
    What is the difference between VORT and CBT&A for MR truck licensing?
    VORT (Vehicles on Road Test) is a one-time assessment, including a warm-up lesson and a driving test. CBT&A (Competency-Based Training and Assessment) offers continuous assessments during training, allowing for feedback and retraining. CBT&A suits those who prefer a gradual learning process, while VORT is for those confident in their skills.
    Can I drive any vehicle once I get my MR truck licence?
    An MR licence lets you drive vehicles like two-axle trucks, buses, and special-purpose vehicles with a GVM over 8 tonnes. You can also tow a single trailer (up to 9 tonnes GVM) as long as the Gross Combination Mass (GCM) limits are met. It opens up opportunities in various industries.
    How do I know if I need a Certificate of Fitness for my MR truck licence?
    If you have a medical condition, such as diabetes or epilepsy, that might affect your ability to drive safely, you may need to provide a Certificate of Fitness. Some conditions may also require clearance from a specialist. We guide you through this process to ensure compliance with safety standards.
    How long does it take to complete the MR Truck Driving Course in Adelaide?
    The MR Truck Driving Course typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the method you choose. The VORT method involves a single assessment day, while CBT&A may take longer due to ongoing assessments. We tailor the course to suit your schedule and ensure you’re fully prepared.
    What vehicles can I tow with an MR truck licence?
    With an MR licence, you can tow a single trailer up to 9 tonnes GVM, provided the total combined weight (vehicle and trailer) meets GCM limits. You’re also allowed to tow farm implements. It’s important to follow legal limits to ensure safety and compliance with the Heavy Vehicle National Law.
