För att snabbt få reda på om du kan jobba som lastbilschaffis antar jag att du kontaktar motsvarande Vägverket i Australien t ex, eller något större företag som just anställer lastbilschaffisar som vet om det går för sig eller ej.
Så du inte blir besviken efter allt annat som du ordnat menar jag.
Nu kommer jag tyvärr inte ihåg vad Vägverket heter där..Leenie hjälp!!
Men här kan du läsa mer om det i alla fall, samt som jag misstänkte att du måste ha haft Australiensiskt körkort i minst tre år för att få köra lastbil där, om jag nu uppfattat det hela rätt. (läs längst ner) Sedan har de vänstertrafik i Oz, men det kanske du redan kände till!
Special licences
[edit] Australia
In Australia heavy vehicle licences are issued by the states but are a national standard; there are 5 classes of licence required by drivers of heavy vehicles:
* A Light Rigid (LR class) licence covers a rigid vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) not more than 8 tonnes, with a towed trailer not weighing more than 9 tonnes GVM. Also buses with a GVM up to 8 tonnes which carry more than 12 adults including the driver.
* A Medium Rigid (MR class) licence covers a rigid vehicle with 2 axles and a GVM of more than 8 tonnes, with a towed trailer not weighing more than 9 tonnes GVM.
* A Heavy Rigid (HR class) licence covers a rigid vehicle with 3 or more axles with a towed trailer not weighing more than 9 tonnes GVM. Also articulated buses.
* A Heavy Combination (HC class) licence covers semi-trailers, or rigid vehicles towing a trailer with a GVM of more than 9 tonnes.
* A Multi-Combination (MC class) licence covers multi-combination vehicles like Road Trains and B-Double Vehicles.
A person must have a C class (car) licence for 1 year before they can apply for an LR or MR class licence and 2 years before they can apply for an HR, to upgrade to an HC class licence a person must have an MR or HR class licence for 1 year and to upgrade to an MC class licence a person must have an HR or HC class licence for 1 year.[5]
