What a Heavy Rigid Course Allows You to Drive

Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of more than 8 tonnes, with no axle limit, are permitted. You can also drive heavy rigid vehicles with a trailer, provided the trailer has a maximum Gross Vehicle Mass of 9 tonnes. Depending on the specific type of HR Licence a Perth resident may hold, there may be restrictions related to the vehicle’s gearbox:
- HR Licence: This unrestricted licence allows you to operate any heavy vehicle, regardless of whether it has an automatic, synchromesh, or crashbox (roadranger) gearbox.
- HR-B Licence: The HR-B Licence restricts you from driving heavy vehicles equipped with either a synchromesh or automatic gearbox.
- HR-A Licence: This HR Automatic Licence is limited to driving heavy vehicles with an automatic gearbox only.
