Expert tips for moving

Driving a truck in a new city can be daunting, but with a little local knowledge, you can navigate Canberra's roads with confidence.


  • What is a commercial vehicle

    Generally speaking, if you want to hire a commercial vehicle in Canberra you’re looking for something bigger than a car such as a 4WD, truck, ute, van or other specialty vehicle whose primary purpose is the transportation of goods or people

  • Licence

    The largest truck you can drive on a standard car licence is a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of up to 4.5 tonnes. This is typically a Pantech-style moving truck with a cargo volume of around 20 cubic metres.

  • Driving

    Canberra is famous for its roundabouts, which require extra care in a larger vehicle. Finally, a critical hazard for any truck driver is low-clearance bridges. In Canberra, be aware of the Parkes Way bridge over Wendouree Drive, which has a marked clearance of 4.2 metres. Always check your route for height restrictions before you set off.

  • Understanding Truck Capacity

    A standard 4.5-tonne Pantech truck offers a cargo volume of approximately 19 to 22 cubic metres, which is generally ideal for moving the contents of a one-to-two-bedroom apartment or a small house.
