About the school

Instruction that treats you like a driver, not a booking

ESH’S Truck Driving School trains people who need a licence for work, not a certificate for the wall.

Most of the people who call us are changing direction — leaving a trade, coming off the tools, arriving from overseas with a licence that doesn’t transfer, or moving up a class because the work they want needs it. That shapes how we teach. Lessons are one-on-one, paced to the driver rather than a syllabus, and built around the vehicle and the routes you’ll actually be assessed in.

  • One instructor from your first lesson to your assessment
  • Training vehicles kept in road-ready condition
  • Lessons scheduled around shift work and rosters
  • Practice on the routes used on assessment day

Why choose us

Six reasons people finish their licence here

Patient one-on-one instruction

No shared lessons and no rushing. You get the whole booking, and the instructor works at the pace you actually learn at.

Well-maintained training vehicles

Trucks that are serviced, compliant and ready to sit an assessment in — so a mechanical problem never costs you a test date.

Open seven days, 7am to 9pm

Early starts before a shift and evening lessons after one are normal here. Weekends included, every week.

Test-route familiarisation

You practise on the roads, turns and reversing areas used in assessments, so nothing on the day is a surprise.

Clear, honest pricing

You’ll be told what a course costs and what it includes before you book. No surprise add-ons at the end.

Support from first call to licence

Help working out which class you need, what paperwork applies, how to book an assessment, and what happens next.

The full comparison

How it works

Four steps from enquiry to licence

  1. Choose your class

    Tell us what you drive now and what you want to drive. We’ll confirm which class applies to you and what it involves.

  2. Book a time that suits

    Seven days a week, 7am to 9pm. Pick a slot around your roster rather than the other way round.

  3. Train with your instructor

    Reversing, coupling, gear work, load awareness and road craft — one-on-one, in the class of vehicle you’ll be assessed in.

  4. Sit the assessment

    We’ll tell you honestly when you’re ready, get you there prepared, and stay with you through the day.

Training vehicles

The vehicles behind each class

Cars for learner lessons, rigid trucks for LR and HR, a prime mover and trailer for HC, and multi-combination for MC. You train in the class of vehicle you will be assessed in.

Common questions

The questions we get asked most

It depends on the class, how much driving you have done recently and how quickly you pick up reversing and gear work. Some drivers are assessment-ready after a short course; others want more time behind the wheel first. We’ll give you a straight answer after your first lesson rather than a number before it.

Generally yes — each heavy vehicle class has a minimum period you must have held the class below it, and there are rules about provisional licences. The exact requirement depends on your licence history, so tell us what you hold and when you got it, and we’ll confirm precisely what applies to you before you book anything.

Both are available for car lessons. For heavy vehicles, the transmission you are assessed in can affect what your licence lets you drive afterwards, so it is worth deciding early. We’ll talk it through with you and recommend what suits the work you’re heading into.

Yes. We run seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, so early lessons before a shift and evening lessons after one are both normal. If your roster changes week to week, tell us and we’ll work around it.
