FAQs

To get an MC license in Australia, you must pass both theory and practical tests provided by TDT Training Australia, after which we will issue your licence. Once approved, you can legally drive heavy, multi combination vehicles nationwide.
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. First, you need to hold your HR licence for at least one year. Next, you’ll be required to complete 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.

A multi-combination (MC) license refers to a type of heavy vehicle license that allows drivers to operate vehicles that consist of a prime mover (truck) towing two or more trailers or semi-trailers.

An MC (Multi-Combination) driver is qualified to operate Australia’s largest and heaviest class of heavy vehicles. 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 maneuvering 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.

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.
