Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to do to acquire a Heavy Vehicle Licence?
   
First of all you need to hold your car licence for 1 year if you are applying for a MR licence, and 2 years if you are moving straight from a car licence to a HR.

If you have held a HR licence for 12 months then you can either upgrade to a HC class or head straight into one of our 2 day B-Double courses.

It helps if you have already completed your written test; however this is not entirely necessary for you to start lessons with Ace Heavy Vehicles.

How many lessons do I need?
    
As each individual is different, as to how they learn and how quickly they pick new things up, the learning time can really vary from person to person.  However we generally find most people tend to take about 3 lessons and a lesson and test for the Medium Rigid vehicles, and 8-10 lessons and a lesson and test for Heavy rigid.

Can you book my test for me?
   
Yes!  We like to organise your test so we can ensure that the vehicle and your instructor is available to accompany you down for the test.

What is a booking fee?
    
A booking fee of $40.45 is required from Queensland Transport to book your practical exam with them.  Other expenses associated with your licensing at Qld Transport would be the Written Test Fee of $17.25.  The written test, consisting of 10 multiple choice questions, has to be completed 48 hours before your practical test.
