HGV class 1 tipper driver ?

[Guest Stacey & Bill]

hi, my wife and i are looking to emigrate to adelaide and i was wanting to know if anyone could give me any information about a job as a HGV driver please.

Do they use the class system in aus like they do in uk? (ie class 1)

what are the wages like?

will i need to resit a HGV test? I know you need to sit a theory test for a car.

Best bet is to look here and browse the site. Don't know much else about licences though.

you need to re sit, and their are different licences. Your experience may help but you will need certain licences or time behind the wheel before you get a B Double licence.

 

I think its about $1000 for a licence.

There are different rules and regs regarding driving hours etc also.

 

Loads of work in this buisness normally, all depends how far you want to drive.
