Take the Logical Next Step in Your Driving Career. Once you’ve held your HR licence for one year, the Heavy Combination (HC) licence is your gateway to operating major freight vehicles like prime movers and semi-trailers. At Highway Truck Training, we provide focused, efficient HC training in Perth to equip you with the skills needed for this in-demand licence, opening doors to higher-paying roles in interstate transport, fuel, and logistics.
The nationally recognised TLIC3005 – Drive Heavy Combination Vehicle course qualifies you to drive:
This licence is essential for operating containers, tippers, and tankers, making you a valuable asset for fuel collection, supermarket supply chains, and general freight.
We’ve streamlined our HC licence courses to be delivered in modern automatic trucks. This allows us to focus intensely on the advanced vehicle handling and safety skills required for combination vehicles, ensuring you are fully prepared for the practical assessment.
Please Note: As an upgrade from the HR licence, you must have held your HR for at least one year. Any transmission conditions (e.g., automatic-only) from your HR licence will carry over to your HC licence.
You can upgrade to a heavy Combination Licence only after holding a MR or HR Licence for a minimum of 12 months
Applicants are required to take the commercial vehicle driver’s standard eyesight test when applying for a heavy vehicle driver’s licence.
The eyesight test will be conducted at the Driver and Vehicle Services centre, regional DoT office or agent when you make application for your licence, or at the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) if you choose to be trained and assessed via the RTO.
If you need to wear visual aids to pass the eyesight test, your licence will be endorsed to show that you must wear visual aids when driving.
Applicants are required to declare any permanent, long-term mental or physical condition (which may include a dependence on drugs or alcohol) that is likely to, or treatment for which is likely to, impair your ability to control a heavy commercial vehicle.
