The Ultimate New Year Resolution – A Rewarding Career Change

Last updated 4 months ago

Have you decided that enough is enough? Are you ready to take on a brand new challenge – to try something new and rewarding? Then perhaps a career in truck driving is the answer to what you’re looking for. Truck driving is a highly rewarding career path with significant benefits.

Why become a truck driver

If you like meeting new people, forging new friendships, experiencing new environments and witnessing the changing of the seasons as you travel from one side of the country to the other – then trucking is the right job for you. If you like living on the go, challenging yourself and having a bit of unpredictability in your life (i.e. less boredom), then trucking is the answer. These are the very reasons why many men and women quit the 9-5 grind to hit the open roads as truckies.

I’m sold, what’s the first step?

First things first – you’ll need to learn how to drive a truck. That’s where we come into the picture. At Transport Industry Driver Education we offer a variety of heavy vehicle driving courses at our headquarters in Somerton – about a 30 minute drive from Melbourne. Through patience and proven training techniques, we deliver a quality product which helps our clients to achieve their career goals. We do everything possible to prepare you for a fulfilling career in the transport industry.

Truck licences

Licensing is the next step after training. After you have successfully completed your training, you will be ready to obtain a truck licence. Making sure you have the right type of driver's licence is crucial to ensuring you achieve your career goals. With a standard driver's licence in Australia, you will not be permitted to drive large vehicles. Licence classes for larger vehicles include LR (Light Rigid), MR (Medium Rigid), HR (Heavy Rigid) and Heavy Combination (HC). These different classes are suited to different jobs. We will help you to determine the appropriate licence category for your needs.
