Queensland · Road rules test

The HR licence test in QLD, and other truck licences

There are two parts: a heavy vehicle road rules test of 10 multiple-choice questions, where you need 8 right, and a practical test that runs 60 to 70 minutes on the road. To upgrade through the HR licence test in QLD, you need to have held a car licence for 2 years, or an LR or MR licence for 1 year. You skip the written part if you already hold an Australian heavy vehicle licence.

What's on the HR licence test in QLD?

The written part is the heavy vehicle road rules knowledge test, used for LR, MR, HR, HC and MC. It has 10 questions on heavy vehicle road rules, and you need 8 correct. You sit it in person at a customer service centre, and it costs $29.70 as at 1 July 2026, the same as the car test.

How long you need to hold a licence first

The time must fall within the last 5 years, and it can be continuous or added up. Time when your licence was suspended, surrendered, cancelled or expired doesn't count.

Learning to drive a truck

With a P or open licence you can learn the next class up. Your supervisor must hold an open licence for that class and have held it for at least a year, the vehicle needs L plates at the front and back, and your alcohol limit is zero. TMR says an unaccompanied learner gets 4 demerit points and a fine of over $270.

The practical test

On-road time is 60 to 70 minutes for MR and HR, 70 to 80 minutes for HC, and 25 to 35 minutes for LR. The test costs $69.40. You can book heavy vehicle tests online or on 13 23 80, but not on Saturdays. If you have a medical condition, you need a current certificate saying you're fit to drive the higher class.

MC is different: there's no practical test. Instead you finish a training unit, TLIC4006, with an approved provider. If you hold HC, an employer declaration on form F3272 can be used instead.
