You took lessons! That makes you an expert compared to most of them.

there are exactly two ways things get done on this planet, and its similar to the way there are 2 conditions in which items are purchased...
When an item is purchased it either comes new and working or in the condition Ron buys stuff in.
When it comes to how porcedures should work theres the way its supposed to happen and then theres the way I get to deal with things.

SubscriberWell, NSW RTA states the same time/waiting periods.
Licence - Heavy vehicles - Business & Industry - Roads and Maritime Services
NSW RTA Page updated October 28 2015.
Vic Roads last updated page November 2014, & is the current page.
When did they make changes to walk in and get a B-double license straight off the bat???

Jump from HR to MC - It has been that way since late 90's/early 2000's.
Most training organisations hate it with a passion and therefore it is essentially (unwritten) policy that nobody passes the barrier test. "If you hold an HR licence, you'll need to pass an HC assessment before you can start MC training"
The ones who scare me are the ones that jump from car to HC under "special considerations" (coz daddy owns a small trucking company and I'm king .......) most have the skills, but very few have the judgement and/or attitude.

SubscriberStated that earlier, standard, still have to have a car license 1 yr before
HR, and then 2 yrs on HR before MC.
Apart from exemptions as you stated.

There's still a way to go from car to road train in less than a week, that requires no exemptions or abilities.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

SubscriberWhat??
Special considerations are few and far between, they still have to sit & pass the testing system like everyone else anyhow
Ive never heard of anyone going from car to multi-combo
it takes 3 yrs, 1yr car to HR, and 2 yrs on HR

Few and far between. My point exactly.
But id say that slpecial considerations are more common than HR - MC jumpers.
In the 2 years that i spent conducting the tests i only saw 6 people attempt to skip HC, of those 5 failed the barrier test. Saw at least a dozen special cases for car - HC. I even passed one of them, had the skills respect for the weight was lacking.
Car to MC - news to me.

Mmmm what`s a special consideration if you went from Hc to Mc thinking out aloud ?
And what is the barrier test still thinking out aloud ?

The special considerations that im referring to are to skip from car to HC without going through the HR/MR licence. i.e. farm kid who has driven around paddocks, family trucking company under duress, that sort of scenario.Mmmm what`s a special consideration if you went from Hc to Mc thinking out aloud ?
And what is the barrier test still thinking out aloud ?
Useless to you.
The bartier test is for people skipping from HR to MC, they have to pass the HC test prior to commencing MC training
Both only apply to people skipping licence classes, not a linear upgrade as you are considering.
No loopholes there, that i know of, for you
