Overview
Completing our NZTA-approved Class 4 truck licence training eliminates the six month learner licence period, allowing you to start driving Class 4 trucks sooner.
This Class 4 truck licence NZ course covers a wide range of vehicles, including trucks used for hauling aggregates, fertiliser, concrete mixers, waste, refuse, and recycling trucks—essential for many industries. Drivers with a Class 4 truck licence are highly sought after, opening up numerous career opportunities, including pathways to heavy vehicle haulage and even Class 5 driving.
A Class 4 learner licence (4L) must be obtained before the course. You are also required to have gained unit standard 24089 (logbook) within the last 12 months.
Please check the dates on your confirmation letter, as we occasionally need to adjust the timetable to accommodate public holidays and trainer/truck availability.
Please note: The transmission and type of the truck cannot be confirmed in advance due to the nature of our courses and truck availability. If you are unfamiliar with driving a Class 4 truck or manual transmission, we recommend booking additional training lessons to ensure you’re fully prepared.
Please contact us to discuss your options, you will need your learner licence prior to being able to undertake practical drive lessons.
