Heavy vehicle licence

Add a heavy goods or passenger vehicle licence.

Entry qualification: Age 20 or above with a light-vehicle licence held for a year

Considerably better paid than light-vehicle driving, and good drivers with clean records are actively sought.

The hard parts

Requires having held a lighter licence first, and a minimum age. Long-distance work means being away from family for days.

How to do it

Check the exact eligibility for a heavy licence in your state, including how long you must have held the earlier one.

A heavy vehicle licence has a higher minimum age — confirm it for your state. Severity
