Log truck
The Log Truck Driver professional accreditation is a pre-requisite for log truck drivers entering woodchip mills operated by Gunns Limited.
Drivers with experience of log truck loading, transport and unloading will undertake around five hours of classroom learning followed by a 1.5 hour individual practical driving assessment in a loaded log truck.
If you don't have experience you'll need to do the extended course, which is five hours of classroom learning plus around four hours of assessment.
You will need to provide your own loaded log truck for the practical assessment.
