You can go from Car to Heavy Rigid, ie like an 8 ton truck just a lazy axle stuck on.

and whjen I did mine the difference in cost of the training was only 20% and gave you an extra day of tuition. Money well spent I thought

Hi guys.
Im gonna stick with MR at the moment - i just want to get up and running and i know a guy who is gonna fast track my MR license for me. :)
It has 3 internal baffles. I am a bit concerned about the weight, so i will be doing the weighbridge prior to RWC. I want to be somewhere in the vicinity of legal when i start out!! :) Dave - water carting on a part time basis - i have some construction work lined up, some tree watering and perhaps some small domestic deliveries. It is only part time and I am self funding it all as opposed to a full on business.
Midnight Spares Sarg. The things i need would be very easy to find at night - but i (in a previous life) used to excel in hunting down the 'employees' of various midnight spares companies - made the night go a bit quicker!! ;) I just got too old for chasing the little bastards..
By the way, I am looking for an auto elec and/or panel beater in the sth east suburbs (around Pakenham) for some small cash jobs that i need to get done on the truck. Paying $ on an hourly rate for what will probably be some very easy work for the 2 tradesmen - anyone interested on know anyone wanting some holiday $.
