Holding a Heavy Combination (HC) licence is a fantastic way to increase your employment opportunities – especially in the transport industry.
This licence will allow you to drive prime movers with a semi-trailer that have a gross vehicle mass of more than 9 tonnes, as well as a rigid motor vehicle with a trailer weighing more than 9 tonnes plus any unladen converter dolly.
How long do I have to have my licence for before I can get my HC Licence?
In QLD an applicant must have held their HR Licence OR their MR Licence for 12 months excluding time where licence was suspended, surrendered, cancelled or expired.
Does this have to be consecutive?
No, it does not need to be consecutive, however it must be all within a 5 year period. It can be either continuous or made up of different individual lengths of time (excluding any time that your licence was suspended, surrendered, cancelled or expired).
