I was wondering what kind of license would be needed to drive a 2 tonne truck. Would the normal class c open license suffice ? I need to help move furniture from the coast down to brissi over 2 trips.

Also Anyone know of any decent truck hire places for furniture removing ? A few phone numbers and any ideas to head my in the right direction would be good.

Cheers.

Ive used Delta truck rentals and driven the trucks by myself to move from Maroochydore to Brisbane. Piss easy to drive and cost isnt too bad. Try calling Budget, Delta, Thrifty and see which one offers the best price for a day hire and what they will let you drive on your licence.

Most allow you to drive a pantec on an open licence for a good price. Easiest way to move house I find.

Cheers bud. I'll look em up. Keep em comin.

Nah, easiest way to move house is to pay removalists to do it for you :P

Mini Movers

U can drive a 2 tonne truck on normal car license. anything 3 tonne or above u need a heavey vechiles license. AFAIK

When ya in the business Im in and have friends who do similar stuff......then it is the easiest and cheapest way to do it. :)

you have to be 25 to hire the truck - they flat out won't hire it to you if you're not.

MMmm I still remember the thrill of turning 25 and driving that truck down the M1.

i got me a 4.5 tonne truck on my drivers license (NSW)

it's sitting outside my parents place as we speak :p

25?....I was 23 when I first hired one to move....never had any problems. I drove it and there were fine with it all.

Maybe the rules have changed recently.

Booyah, driving the truck is easy mate, roping it down and tarping it up is the hard part. HAHAHAHAHAHHA
I CAN DO THE SICK TRUCKIE KNOTS
HAHAHAHAHAHA



yeah

Most small hire trucks can be driven on a normal licence, just check with budget though.

I am not sure on the minimum age for hiring though wouldn't be surprised if it was 25.

s***... i'm only 21... I technically have my open's but i'm on prohbation atm until Januray next year :S.. i still need to make a few phone calls but i'll need to hire it from 5pm monday til 8am next morning.... wonder how much that's gonna cost ...

Last time we moved it was about 80 dollers more expensive to get mini movies than it was to hire a 2 ton truck from budget for 24 hours.

Ok well i just rang several places up and they all required the renter to be 25 + on an open license. That cuts my options short :/ I think it was thrifty that charged extra for someone under 25 and above 21. There was also extra charge for any distance in excess of 100km plus petrol/diesel tanks needed to be full when returned. For a 4 way trip here to the coast i'm looking at big bux, alot more than what i'm being paid to do anyways. Either way i'm still on prohbation until januray for my opens and i'm under 25. Looks like i'll be just doing normal work that day instead.

Ta.
