HR Licence: Unlock Your Heavy Vehicle Potential in NSW
Upgrading to a Heavy Rigid (HR) licence is one of the most valuable steps you can take in the transport industry. Whether you’re aiming for better job opportunities, higher pay, or a pathway into HC and MC licences, the HR licence opens the door to professional heavy vehicle driving across Sydney and NSW.
At Highway Truck Driving School, we provide RMS‑accredited HR training seven days a week, including weekends and after‑hours sessions. Our flexible schedule means you can complete your HR licence without interrupting your work commitments.

- Heavy rigid trucks with three or more axles
