Trucking is a vital industry in Australia, and truck drivers are in high demand. If you're considering a career as a truck driver, there are a few things you need to do to get started.

  1. Get the right license

    To drive a truck in Australia, you need a heavy vehicle driver's license, from LR to HC. To get this licence, you need to pass a series of tests, including a written exam and a driving test. You can get HDVL training from a registered training organisation (RTO), such as Great Heavy Driving School.

  2. Get trained

    Once you have your licence, you can start looking for a truck driving job. However, many trucking companies prefer to hire drivers who have completed a truck driving course. A truck driving course will teach you the skills and knowledge you need to be a safe and efficient truck driver.

  3. Find a job

    Once you have your training, you can start looking for a truck driving job. There are a number of ways to find truck driving jobs, including online job boards, trucking company websites, and word-of-mouth.

Tips for getting a truck driving job

  • Get a good driving record. Trucking companies are looking for drivers with a clean driving record. If you have any traffic violations on your record, it's important to start improving your driving habits.
  • Be prepared for long hours. Truck driving can be a demanding job. Drivers often work long hours, including nights and weekends. If you're not comfortable working long hours, truck driving may not be the right career for you.
  • Be willing to learn. The trucking industry is constantly changing. It's important to be willing to learn new skills and adapt to new technologies.
