HVDL PLUS – A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER PATHWAY PROGRAM

HVDL Plus is a professional driver pathway program offered by the Tasmanian Transport Association and our members. The program is designed to support new entrants to driving roles in the transport industry and provides training and workplace opportunities that ‘wrap around’ the heavy vehicle driver licence.

Transport and Logistics is a key enabler of economic activity in Tasmania. An essential service provider, transport and logistics underpins the standard of living of all Tasmanians. We have an aging workforce and need to recruit and develop people for important and rewarding careers across all sectors of the industry. This program focuses on developing people to fill professional heavy vehicle driving roles.

We are looking for people who hold a current heavy vehicle driver licence and want to get a start in transport. The first program was held in December, based on the NW Coast. Future programs will be held in the North and South during 2022.
