Brian Tomlinson

With over two decades behind the wheel of every class of heavy vehicle, Brian Tomlinson founded ABC Truck License in 2014 with a simple mission: make high-quality truck licence training accessible, affordable and genuinely effective.

Brian started his career driving light rigids in suburban Melbourne before progressing through the ranks to MC-class road trains across the Nullarbor. He's seen first-hand how the right training can transform someone's career — and how poor training can put lives at risk.

"I started this school because I was tired of seeing good people fail their tests or worse — get hurt on the road — due to shortcuts taken during training. We do things the right way, every time."

Our Mission

Safety, Skill and Career Success

Everything we do is guided by three core principles that have shaped ABC Truck License from the very beginning.

Safety Above All

Every lesson begins with a vehicle check. Every instructor is first-aid certified. Heavy vehicles demand respect — and we teach students to give them exactly that.

Real-World Skills

We don't just teach you to pass a test — we teach you to drive professionally. Our curriculum mirrors real Australian road conditions and employer expectations.

Career Outcomes

Our graduates go on to work with major Australian freight operators, mining companies, and logistics businesses. We build careers, not just licences.
