@bessy164 If you had your HGV licence for at least 12 months, you would have to sit a prac and theory driving test. If you pass, you qualify for what they call an MC (Multi Combination) licence. It varies from state to state, but Victoria seems to be the easiest state to get it in
@bessy164 Usually the stock trailers are at least double deck, but sometimes triple. As a rule of thumb, anywhere above the Tropic of Capricorn in Australia, road trains with more than two trailers are allowed. Below that, it's select routes
@bessy164 I haven't driven them myself, but In my work as a longhaul driver the biggest I've driven is a 12 tonne flatbed. However, I worked in what's known in the industry as hotshot freight; when someone cannot wait 3 days for something, they pay a company like the one I worked for, a lot of money to get it there in as short as possible a time. I'm living in Victoria now, but your best chance of truck driving work will be in Western Australia, where I worked as a driver
@bessy164 Expect to see a lot of American trucks, especially Kenworths and Western Stars. The likes of Volvos are ok, but they can't handle the rough terrain as well as American trucks
@Mechknight73 yes we have some of them companies over hear, the money they pay to have things delivered is unreal some times. im only really into livestock transport, i have a mate that works for frasers, i think it would be expensive to get ur licence then iv to find some 1 that would take you on, it is always harder wen ur not a citizen isant it,
@bessy164 It can be, although you need a work visa, then you need to go find a job. I do know of one company that might take you once you a. have a local and possibly English police clearance b. have an Australian driver's licence and 3. pass a medical (to confirm there's no speed, weed or smack in your system, and you're physically ok.)
@Mechknight73 its hc then to mc (hc- heavey combination-singles ) (mc- multiple combinations-roadtrains b-triples basicly anything with more than one trailer

@wabbles323 Some states will allow you to go stright from HC to MC, if you have adequate proof that you've driven HC class trucks elsewhere.
