lasses), forklift licences, and dangerous goods driver licences. My focus is on safety and real-world transport industry skills, not just helping you pass a test.

🚜 "I wish I'd done it sooner." 🚜

It's probably the most common thing I hear from people after they complete their forklift licence.

In fact, most students tell me one of these three things:

✅ "I was nervous for nothing."

✅ "The theory wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be."

✅ "I wish I'd got my forklift licence years ago."

The reality is that many people put it off because they lack confidence or think they're not capable.

The good news? You don't need forklift experience, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist.

You just need a willingness to learn and a trainer who's prepared to take the time to help you succeed.

My next public forklift course is coming up soon:

📅 Monday 29th & Tuesday 30th June
⏰ 7:00am Start
📍 89 Marius Street, Tamworth
💰 $600

If you've been thinking about getting your forklift licence, now might be the perfect time.

🎉 Congratulations to Jeremy Davis from Tamworth on passing his HR Automatic licence today! 🎉

It wasn't all smooth sailing leading up to the big dance. Like a lot of people, Jeremy was carrying a few nerves and a bit of self-doubt before his Final Competency Assessment.

But, much like the good old rugby league player he is, he dug deep, trusted the process and got the job done.

Once he settled in behind the wheel, took a breath and backed himself, everything started to come together. He passed his FCA and is now the proud holder of an HR licence.

Jeremy's result is another reminder that learning to drive a truck isn't about being the loudest, toughest or most experienced person in the room. Often it's about having a bit of trust, staying calm and being given the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment.

There's no yelling here. No carrying on. No pressure. Just good, honest real-world training delivered at your pace.

A massive congratulations to Jeremy and thanks for choosing Clarke's Heavy Vehicle Licensing.

And while I'm at it, where have all the ladies gone? 🤔

Truck driving isn't just for the blokes. I've helped plenty of women gain their truck licences over the years and I'd love to see a few more ladies through the gate. If you've ever thought about getting your HR, HC or MC licence, don't be shy—give me a call. Clarke's Heavy Vehicle Licensing is proudly female friendly and everyone is welcome.

Well done Jeremy. Enjoy the new licence mate, you've earned it. 👏🚛

🚛 BIG NEWS AT CLARKE’S 🚛

Things are happening 👌

Clarke’s Heavy Vehicle Licensing has now officially moved into our new main training yard right in town at:

📍 89 Marius Street, Tamworth
(The old Telstra site)

And I couldn’t be happier with how it’s all coming together 👍

Everything is now on the one site:

✔ dedicated training room
✔ forklift training area
✔ room for the trucks
✔ the smooth Volvo
✔ and of course… the mighty Western Star “Una Veronica” 😎

It’s a great setup and gives us even more room to provide the relaxed, professional training environment we’re known for.

And speaking of training…

Big congratulations to the crew who knocked over their forklift licences over the past couple of days thanks to the expert tutelage of legendary trainer:

👉 Henry “Funky Town” Erich 💃😄

Well done to:

👏 Louis Pursehouse — Tamworth Tilehouse
👏 Martin Murray — AMPS
👏 Jessica Hone — AMPS
👏 Justin Parker — DXT Transport
👏 Melanie Campbell — Officeworks
👏 Tim Garrett — Officeworks
👏 James Brown

Great effort from all of you 👊

Some nerves, a few challenges along the way (as there always are when learning something new)… but everyone stuck at it, supported each other and got the job done.

That’s what we’re all about here at Clarke’s:

✔ relaxed, supportive training
✔ no yelling, no ego
✔ female friendly environment
✔ helping newcomers and nervous nellies build confidence
✔ real world skills that actually matter

Whether it’s trucks, forklifts, trailers or dangerous goods…

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN MADE WEEK 🇦🇺

This week’s all about supporting Aussie businesses, Aussie jobs and Aussie industries.

And I reckon the transport industry is right at the heart of that.

Because without truck drivers…

👉 the shelves don’t get stocked
👉 the fuel doesn’t get delivered
👉 the farms stop moving
👉 and Australia grinds to a halt pretty quickly.

I might not make Akubras or meat pies… but I do help make truck drivers 😄

Here at Clarke’s Heavy Vehicle Licensing, I’m proud to be helping train the next generation of Aussie truck drivers right here in Tamworth.

✔ local business
✔ local jobs
✔ local people
✔ real world skills

And just quietly…

👉 a proud Aussie bloke trying to help people build a better future for themselves.

So during Australian Made Week, remember to support local where you can 👍

And if you’ve been thinking about getting into trucks…

Well — there’s never been a better time to have a crack 🇦🇺
