Make Heavy Vehicle Driving a Licensed Trade in Australia

Heavy vehicle driving should be recognised as a licensed trade rather than simply a licence class. A fully loaded truck is capable of causing catastrophic damage if operated without the right skills, judgement and safety culture. The current pathway to obtaining a heavy vehicle licence is too short compared with the responsibility drivers carry.

I believe the minimum training should be between 6 months and 2 years, combining classroom theory with extensive practical training. Every trainee should complete at least 500 hours of supervised driving before being eligible for a full heavy vehicle licence.

The course should include:

- Road law and defensive driving.
- Heavy vehicle dynamics and load behaviour.
- Fatigue management.
- Chain of Responsibility (CoR).
- Load restraint.
- Vehicle inspections and defect reporting.
- Emergency procedures.
- Practical driving in city, highway and regional conditions.
- Basic mechanical knowledge so drivers understand how to identify safety-critical defects.

After qualification, every new driver should complete a 12-month probationary period. During this time, safety standards should be exceptionally high. Serious traffic offences should result in immediate suspension and mandatory retraining before returning to professional driving.

Every driver should also be legally required to complete a compliant daily pre-start inspection, digitally recorded and linked to their licence and the registered vehicle. If a driver repeatedly fails to carry out required inspections or knowingly operates an unsafe vehicle, they should lose their heavy vehicle qualification and complete additional training before being relicensed.

This approach would create a culture where safety becomes second nature. When drivers perform thorough inspections every day for an entire year, safe habits become permanent. Instead of treating truck driving as simply obtaining another licence, Australia should recognise it as a skilled profession with the same respect and standards expected of other licensed trades.

Professional truck drivers are responsible for some of the largest and heaviest vehicles on our roads. Their training should reflect that responsibility.
