Whether you’re upgrading from a car licence or expanding your career opportunities, we’ll ensure you have the skills and knowledge to pass the test and drive with confidence.
What is an MR Licence?
An MR (Medium Rigid) Licence allows you to drive a rigid truck with two axles and a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of more than 8 tonnes. This includes buses and other large vehicles. Holding an MR Licence in Queensland means you’re qualified to operate larger vehicles, making it a great step for those in the transport, logistics, or construction industries.
What Can I Drive with an MR Licence?
With an MR Licence, the Queensland Department of Main Roads and Transport laws allow you to drive
Any rigid truck with two axles and a GVM over 8 tonnes.
Buses, including those with more than 12 seats.
Certain medium-sized transport vehicles, making it a versatile licence for many industries.
This licence is perfect for those looking to operate mid-sized trucks or buses without the complexity of larger, multi-combination vehicles.
A class LR vehicle.
A bus (more than 8t GVM with not more than 2 axles) with or without a trailer of not more than 9t GVM.
A truck including a prime mover (more than 8t GVM with not more than 2 axles) with or without a trailer of not more than 9t GVM.
A specially constructed vehicle, including a tractor (more than 8t GVM with not more than 2 axles), with or without a trailer of not more than 9t GVM.
The GVM is the maximum weight that a truck can carry including its own weight. This is the maximum or total weight of a loaded rigid vehicle (including body, payload, fuel and driver). It is a figure set by the manufacturer and is lodged with registration authorities and governs all applications and is stamped on the compliance plate of the vehicle (also referred to as GVW or Gross Vehicle Weight)
When you obtain an MR licence after truck training from Affordable Truck School in Brisbane, you will be eligible for several rewarding job opportunities in the logistics and transport industry. These jobs may include positions such as delivery drivers, furniture removalists, Brisbane City Council bus drivers, and more.
