Multi Combination Auto Lesson

MULTI COMBINATION AUTO Truck DrivIng lesson

Multi-Combination (MC) truck refers to a classification of heavy vehicles based on their towing configuration. The term "multi-combination" indicates that these vehicles involve more than one trailer or articulated unit, each having a gross vehicle mass greater than 9,000 kg. Multi-Combination trucks can consist of a prime mover (truck) pulling multiple trailers, such as road trains, B-doubles, and other configurations.

MC trucks are commonly used for long-distance freight transport where larger loads need to be moved efficiently over extended distances.

Multi Combination Auto Trucks have an automatic transmission gearbox.

Our Truck Driving Lesson will teach you how to safely operate a Multi Combination Truck with an automatic gearbox under various traffic conditons. This lesson is suitable for experience MR/HR/HC truck drivers who want to upgrade their licence.
