I completed my excavator, roller and skid steer tickets through cairns truck school, thanks to my trainer Taffy. Taffy was one of the best trainers I've had through any course I've completed, he was professional, friendly, informative and very patient in his methods. I honestly felt able to go and operate any one of the machines straight away on site with confidence.

Anthony Mara

Thank to Taffy and the crew for a great course in an awesome environment. Will be back to do my other licenses.

Cheers

I would thoroughly recommend Cairns Truck School as a training organisation to obtain a heavy vehicle licence. They were very accomadating to all of my needs and provided a professional and prompt service.
I would also like to extend a personal thankyou to Kirsten who was my instructor. Kirsten was patient, encouraging, provide clear instruction and firm when required. She also treated me as a competent and capable individual and acknowledged my prior skills. This helped lift my confidence and allowed me to successfully gain my MR licence. I personally recommend her as an instructor for anyone who is nervous, anxious or female and wants to succeed in the transport industry.

Matthew Griffin

Hi Cairns Truck School,

Thank you so much for giving me the skills and competence to operate earthmoving equipment and teaching me how to operate a forklift safely. Taffy was awesome during the earthmoving course. The site was amazing as well and gave me valuable experience. John also helped me and encouraged me through the forklift training. It was a lot of information to understand in three short days but I left with my certification and loads of confidence. Thank you all so much. The staff there was always welcoming and extremely professional. It was very refreshing after spending so much time inside doing nothing because of this pandemic. May God bless you all and your organisation now and into the future.

Cheers

Jason Rowland

Kirsten taught me! Might seem hard, but she really is down to earth. Lessons were how I would be tested, so it was hard to kick old habits, but they vital as I passed first go. Instructions were critically detailed: Why I needed to do as instructed, what would happen, safety awareness, and other things that may arise down the road. Spots were a lot more flexible than most truck schools that I inquired. Receptionist, Trainer, Price, Quality of truck... all round happy. Thanks again.

Shane Keyes

Thanks to the Team at Cairns Truck School for making it so easy to book in such a short time frame and a big shout out to Brett the trainer for all his help and with his knowledge making this an enjoyable experience. Shane Keyes.

Christopher Shred

Kirsten was instrumental in curbing my 30+ years worth of bad driving habits (it may have had something to do with the big stick she was wielding) which saw me successful in gaining the MR Licence, on my first attempt, with no "Error" marks in the TMR Driving Assessment Report.
Kirsten's constant narrative on Road Rules and requirements during the driving instruction was most welcome. She highlighted several requirements that I was unaware of.

For CTS, Thank you for getting me on the MR Licence-in-a-day course at such short notice, much appreciated. I have a job interview tomorrow so hopefully this Licence will get me across the line.
I have utilised your services so far for Forklift, Confined Space and now MR. I will require Working at Heights at some stage too, so I will probably be back soon.

Thanks,

Chris.
