If you’ve been driving trucks for a while and you’re ready for a new challenge, an MC Licence might be the next step in your career. Whether you're aiming to increase your income, gain more responsibility, or open doors to interstate or long-haul jobs, the MC Licence is your ticket to bigger opportunities — literally. At Highway Truck Driving School, we’ve trained hundreds of drivers across Sydney to move up in their careers through practical, hands-on, and friendly guidance. If you're curious about what the MC Licence involves and how to get it, let’s break it down.
What is an MC Licence and why does it matter?
An MC (Multi-Combination) Licence is the highest-level truck licence in Australia. It qualifies you to drive big rigs like B-doubles and road trains — the massive vehicles you see on highways doing long-haul freight. If you’ve already got your HC (Heavy Combination) Licence and want to level up, this is the natural next move. And it’s more than just a licence — it’s access to better-paying jobs and greater independence on the road.
Who is eligible for an MC Licence?
To apply for an MC Licence, you’ll need to have held your HC Licence for at least 12 months. This ensures you have enough experience before jumping into multi-combination vehicles. If that’s you, you’re already halfway there. Many of our students at Highway Truck Driving School come to us after driving semi-trailers or heavy rigid trucks and are looking to broaden their skills — and their job prospects.
What does MC Licence training involve?
Training for the MC Licence at Highway Truck Driving School is straightforward, practical, and designed to fit around your schedule. You’ll learn coupling and uncoupling, reversing, defensive driving, and handling longer, heavier vehicles. But we won’t just show you how to pass — we focus on building confidence behind the wheel. The training is hands-on, not classroom-heavy, and it’s all done with modern, well-maintained vehicles.
How long does it take to get your MC Licence?
This varies depending on your experience, but most drivers complete the training in 1–2 days. We offer flexible sessions, including weekends and after-hours, to suit your availability. If you’re already working full-time, we’ll work with your schedule to make sure training fits in smoothly. The goal is to get you qualified without disrupting your life.
What are the benefits of holding an MC Licence?
The benefits are clear: more job options, better pay, and the ability to drive Australia’s biggest trucks. Many transport and logistics companies are constantly seeking licensed MC drivers because it’s a skill not every driver has. Whether you want to haul freight between states, take on longer contracts, or even start your own transport business, this licence gives you flexibility and freedom.
Is the MC Licence test difficult?
The test is thorough, but with the right training, it’s totally manageable. Our instructors at Highway Truck Driving School prepare you with everything you need — from understanding the RMS standards to real-life scenarios you’ll face on the road. Many of our students pass the test on their first go, thanks to our tailored approach that builds confidence, not stress.
