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.

Jason D

Thank you to all instructors at Cairns Truck School, passed my HR today, definitely looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a truck. All instructors have their own methods, listen to the best parts of all of them and practice practice practice even if it is just in your imagination, the tennis ball under your left foot does help with clutch. Slow and steady wins the race as well, don’t rush it including sitting for your test.

Gene B

Great friendly environment which made you feel relaxed and confident behind the wheel and the pointers given were spot on , made it a lot easier. Had a great time

Jason H

A big thank you to all at Cairns Truck School for helping me get my MC licence. Would definitely recommend as they make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
