Heavy Rigid Truck License Brisbane
Brisbane’s Smartest Way To Get A
Heavy Rigid Truck Licence
Grow your Brisbane career opportunities with a Heavy Rigid truck licence training. This category has two types of training: unrestricted and restricted. The difference between the two is the gearbox.
The HR unrestricted truck licence is a road ranger or a non-synchromesh gear box. This transmission requires the driver to “double the clutch” for all up changes and down changes. While this at first would appear to be an easy method in reality takes good coordination and practice to master the change accurately.
When you complete your training in the road ranger gearbox you will receive an unrestricted licence. This allows the applicant to drive any HR vehicle. This HR licence is ideal due to its non-restrictive nature.
The HR (B) or restricted licence allows the holder to only drive automatic or synchromesh transmissions and not the road ranger type. The method of gear change with this transmission is the same as your motor car, meaning that only one depression of the clutch is necessary to complete the gear change.

Heavy Rigid
truck licence information
Students looking to attain their Heavy Rigid open or Heavy Rigid restricted (B) will learn with a qualified instructor in either an Isuzu FRD for their HR(B), or a Isuzu FZV tipper for the open HR category. Whichever option you choose, you will be well equipped to safely and confidently drive the streets of Brisbane and Australia.
KMS Driving School utilises the unique Isuzu FRD with a liftable lazy axle. On your HR(B) truck test day we keep the lazy axle lowered which achieves this accreditation with a synchromesh restriction (B). The Isuzu has the latest Allison 6 speed automatic gearbox, making earning a HR restricted (B) easier with KMS than with other Brisbane schools that use eight- and ten-speed manual gear boxes.

Our unrestricted vehicle is an Isuzu FVZ tip truck; this vehicle has an eight-speed road ranger gearbox fitted. The eight speed is the smallest gear box manufactured by Eaton Fuller and therefore the easiest to master due to a much easier gear pattern and smaller number of gears needing to be changed during the driving test.
Our Heavy Rigid (B) vehicle is a 2022 Isuzu FRD with a flat-bed tray fitted. This model has a modern six speed Allison automatic transmission. Isuzu are renowned for their low-down torque engines which means smoother engine performance and therefore increases the driveability of the vehicle.
As with our Medium Rigid training, both of our practice vehicles are commonly found on Brisbane roads. We don’t use shortened modified vehicles like some other schools. KMS feels it’s necessary for you to not only learn how to drive well enough to pass your training test, but to learn in a common vehicle found on our roads. You will most likely be driving in your new carrier as a heavy vehicle driver in no time with KMS Driving School.

What Our Happy Customers Have to Say
This is why we do, what we do!
Ken is absolutely fantastic. And i can say this after having lots of training with various car then truck trainers.He will take the time to explain things if they need to be explained, he's more than happy slowing down or speeding up depending on you, and you get the same guy, same truck, which is way better than having a different truck with different trainer every day.I was not from the Zillmere Northgate area, i needed to travel to see him. I'm telling you right now, if it's easy for you to have your entire learning journey and test with him, absolutely take it. Even if you're like me and you're not from the area, a lesson or two with him really can't hurt. As he states you get to drive a proper truck as well.KMS is great not only for the above reasons, but you're also letting a local guy put local bread on his local table, which is worth a lot in itself.Good job Ken.
Ken is a great trainer and very professional. I recommend KMS to anyone who asks about obtaining a truck licence. 10/10
