Licence Information
You may drive any 2 axle rigid vehicle, including a truck or bus and may tow a  trailer of no more than 9 tonnes GVM (and within GCM limits). You can also drive a special purpose vehicle with a GVM of less than 15 tonnes (e.g. tractor or bob-tail prime mover).

Pre-requisites
You must have held a class C licence for at least 1 year, have no outstanding business with Transport SA (i.e. unpaid parking fines or speeding tickets) and have no medical conditions that would prevent the issue of commercial driver's licence.

Recommended Number of Lessons
Allan Miller Driving School recommends drivers upgrading to the MR licence receive 12 hours of instruction. Instruction is given in 3 hour time blocks to avoid driver fatigue.  Required hours quoted are an average only - any additional hours required are discussed with individuals on a case by case basis.

Course Assessment
Allan Miller recommends the Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBT&A) approach for drivers seeking heavy vehicle driver training. Competency Based Training is a system where assessment takes place throughout the training program, and allows for re-training and re-assessment of errors.  VORT (Vehicle On Road Test) is also available, and is a single pass/fail assessment at the end of the training program.
 
Locations available
We can provide instruction from Lonsdale or Cavan (by arrangement).

Lesson prices
Class MR training is $90 per hour.  A $40 administration fee is charged on your final CBT assessment on top of the lesson charge.  An MR VORT costs $210.
