Training Centres

[nuggety goodness]

Hey, looking for some advice.

I'm going to get my MR license and after doing some research I've found that most places are a similar price.

I'm down to three choices due to location and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the companies and can steer me away from the bad ones or towards any that are particularly good...

the three are;

RMS Training
G&L Heavy Vehicle Training
Courtesy Driving School

They are all around the $85-$90/hour mark so it's a much of a muchness cost wise, I do see a lot of the Courtesy Trucks around (whether that's a good thing or not i dunno)

Some help appreciated, thanks peeps.

If you currently work in construction industry (CITB number) you get the first $500 paid for if you go thru the Construction Industry Training Board. Did my HR with Courtesy Driving a few about 3 years ago, they were ok. Will come down to the individual instructor that you get. G$L seem to have later model trucks than Courtesy.

When i was doing my first 6 hour lesson i was stressed as hell with the double clutching etc and then this lady pulls out in front of me so i jam on the brakes to avoid her and the instructor fires up and says" why did you do that? you should of let her hit us to teach her a lesson". Then he makes me follow her to her work and we pull up out the front as she is getting out of her car and he lets rip on the air horn and then starts yelling at her out of the window. So my opinion of Courtesy is slightly tarnished but at the end of the day will come down to instructor. His name was Kamal by the way so avoid him if you chose Courtesy.

NG your too little to drive trucks, i doubt you could reach the pedals and see out the windscreen at the same time
