Driving Jobs in Australia



Introduction






 



One of the most essential elements of transport network in Australia is “Road transport” which also happens to be an enabler of the Australian economy. Australia has low population density in considerable areas and parts of the country so Australia has to heavily rely on road.
Australia rail network is not developed as sufficient to support freight and passengers as per requirements in most of the country; hence there arise a huge need of reliance of roads. So, the goods that need to be transported through rails are actually transported through Roads across the country.
Jobs:
There are recruitment agencies all over Australia who are hiring and recruiting always experienced truck drivers of all classes with experience of vehicles like general freight, truck & dog, HIAB, dangerous goods, refrigerated, steel and containers because there is always something getting transported and always a driver is needed. If we take an example of a hiring agency ‘Drive Hire’, it offers jobs like;
 
 
Salary:
Australia has a good economy; the average salary for a driver is quite good. People qualifying more than average can definitely have more salary and less qualifying will have less than average salary.
But the thing which has to be kept in mind is that the whole country transportation is kind of based entirely on roads and they need drivers for that. So a good salary has to be given for sake of good, efficient, loyal workforce or divers.
So drivers earn more than average income in Australia.
 
 
Also if an average salary per hour is noted it can be realized that it is also quite good. 

There are a few factors that need to been notices as they affect the salary one has to receive:

With more years of Experience more salary increases but it can also be seen that with more experience the salary decrease also because more experiences means more age and driving companies mostly prefer young blood as they can perform more than Old.

A valid NSW heavy vehicle license (MR, HR, HC, MC) (How to receive it is mentioned under)
Minimum 12 months experience on the driver’s class of license
Provide a current RMS report (dated no more than 3 months old)

In the image given under we can get an idea about what the driver has to do commonly. Even though drivers might drive a different vehicle but some commonalities are usual.
 
Heavy vehicle class licenses require drivers to have experience of lighter license classes. In some states, a car license is acceptable for the motorcycles which have limited engine capacity.

A temporary job situation:

If temporary visiting driver job is required with holding a current overseas driver license, then there is no need to request an Australian state driver's license. A current overseas license can be used as long as:

Temporary overseas visiting drivers in Australia are mostly:
