FAQs

Can I go from an HR (Heavy Rigid) licence to an MC licence in Victoria?

You can upgrade from a Heavy Rigid (HR) licence to a Multi-Combination (MC) licence in Victoria. However, you’ll need to meet specific prerequisites before doing so. Firstly, you need to hold your HR licence for at least one year. Secondly, you’ll be required to complete a comprehensive training and assessment course from a registered training organisation, which includes successfully completing the requirements for a HC licence before you can proceed to the MC component. After successful completion, you must pay the necessary fees to upgrade your licence.

 

What is an MC driver?

An MC (Multi-Combination) driver is someone qualified to operate the largest and heaviest class of heavy vehicles in Australia. These include B-doubles, road trains, and any vehicle towing more than one trailer. MC drivers must understand road safety, heavy vehicle operations, load restraint, and other skills crucial for manoeuvring such large and complex vehicles. Due to the complexities and responsibilities involved, MC drivers often undergo rigorous training and assessments before they are deemed competent.

 

What are MC vehicles?

MC (Multi-Combination) vehicles refer to the heaviest and largest class of vehicles in the heavy vehicle national licensing classification in Australia. These vehicles include:

  • B-Doubles: A prime mover towing two semi-trailers, with the first semi-trailer connected to the prime mover by a fifth wheel and the second semi-trailer connected to the first.
  • Road Trains: A prime mover towing more than two trailers. These can include a variety of configurations, such as a double and triple road train.

MC vehicles are commonly used in long-haul freight across Australia and are crucial for transporting goods over vast distances. Due to their size and complexity, MC vehicles require a specialised licence, known as the MC licence.
