Robert was great to deal with. It was easy to book in and he handled the booking process with Qld Transport. My instructor, John, was fantastic. He took the time to explain the reasons behind what he was teaching me and taught me best practice as opposed to common practice. John left me feeling calm and confident for my test, which I passed with flying colours thanks to his help. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Purple Truck Driving School.

Absolutely fantastic driver training! I got into the cab of the Hino truck, terrified, but by the end of the lesson time I had with Don, I had become comfortable driving an MR truck and passed the driving test on my first try. Every time I made a mistake he never once raised his voice he was always calm and told me what to do for next time. Every phone interaction with Robert was great he always got back to me quickly with the information I asked for, and he was very professional every time I spoke to him on the phone. Absolutely amazing truck driving school.

Purple Truck Driving School is top notch 10/10, I'm currently in the works to get my HR licence and these guys have been brilliant to work with.
Robert has been fantastic to talk to for organising lessons, feeding me information and videos to watch to get a better understanding on what to expect and how to prepare and is overall always willing to have a chat and help.
John my instructor was awesome to work with, guided me through my lesson with ease, explained everything I needed to know, why and how things work, what to do if they don't work, just overall very knowledgable and had me driving back to the depot by the end of my first lesson. very understanding of their students skill level and how to push them to the next stage.
I can say with confidence I will get my licence because of these legends!

I took a one day HR course with Rob.
It was one of the best experiences I've had this year.
At first, I was very nervous having not driven such a big truck in my life.
But my trainer Rob helped me with the training in a very gentle and considerate way.
He just kept helping me build up my confidence. By the end of the course, I ended up with a full of confidence in myself and I passed the test in my first attempt.
Definitely recommend Purple Truck School.
Thank you Rob!

Hai Rob and Don Forster,
Thank you very much for the HR training. I got my HR license on today (21/03/2018) I have passed first attempt. I had a fabulous experience with Rob and Don, they teach the truck driving (HR) lessons correctly and they guided to me the correct way to learn.
I highly recommend Purple Truck Driving to get your HR license. Rob and Don have an amazing teaching skill. I feel very comfortable while they have trained me.
So, I would recommend 100% Purple Truck Driving School for new and experienced drivers.
Thanks for the license Robert and Don Forster.

Just got my HR truck licence through purple truck today, Robert and Sally were awesome and made it really easy to feel confident when taking the exam. Very informative and highly recommend this course before attempting a truck licence. Picked up heaps of tips and tricks which I will continue to build on in the future. Also I've driven a few trucks before and compared to them this truck was a dream to drive, thanks guys!
