Articulated Haul Truck Course Overview
An articulated haul truck ticket is your way onto the big civil and mining jobs. RIIMPO337E, Conduct articulated haul truck operations, is the nationally accredited unit of competency that proves you can safely load, haul and dump materials on a moving site. If you have run a Moxy or any articulated dump truck on the job and never held the paperwork, this is the ticket that makes it official.
An articulated haul truck, also called an articulated dump truck or ADT, is the big two-part dump truck with a pivot joint in the middle, built to shift dirt and spoil across rough ground that a road truck could never handle. They are the backbone of earthworks on large civil and mining sites, running haul cycles all day between the dig and the dump, so a qualified operator who can keep that cycle safe and moving is always in demand.
The course is split into theory and seat time. Theory covers the parts of the job that cause damage and downtime: reading the haul road, load and dump zones, stability with a full load, and working in a cycle alongside excavators, loaders and other trucks. Then you are in the machine under supervision, hauling and dumping, and you are assessed on both a written component and a practical demonstration before you leave. You will be taught by trainers who have run this gear for a living, so the time goes on the situations that actually go wrong on a haul road, not just the answers on a test.
What You’ll Learn:
- Pre-start inspections and safety checks, and knowing when a truck stays parked
- Planning the haul: reading the site, the haul road, and the load and dump zones
- Loading in a cycle, working safely with the excavator or loader operator
- Hauling loaded and unloaded across ramps, grades and rough ground
- Keeping the truck stable through corners and on slopes with a full load
- Dumping and tipping safely, and spotting the hazards around a dump edge
- Communication and teamwork so the haul cycle keeps moving without incident
- Shutting down, securing, refuelling and reporting faults, plus the logbook side
Who Can Enrol:
No experience is needed and no other ticket is required first, so the course suits people who have never been in a haul truck. It also suits operators who have run a Moxy or an articulated dump truck on site for years and now need the ticket to prove it, or who want a verification of competency rather than the full course. You can enrol from age 15.
Most people booking in are getting into civil construction or mining, or already work in the trade and know the haul truck ticket is what gets them on the bigger sites.
Your Qualification:
On successful completion you receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment for RIIMPO337E, Conduct articulated haul truck operations, issued by us as a registered training organisation. This is the ticket employers ask to see. A haul truck is not on the high risk work licence list, so there is no separate application to a state regulator afterwards. The statement of attainment is the qualification.
Important Note:
Licensing and certification requirements may vary by state and territory. We ensure all relevant regulatory information is covered during enrolment to meet local industry standards.
Articulated Haul Truck Course Pricing
The articulated haul truck course fee is $965, and the course runs over two to four days depending on your experience. CSQ funding is available for eligible participants, which brings your gap payment down to $350. We will check your eligibility and confirm the numbers with you before you book, so there are no surprises.
We review your previous experience to confirm the duration and pricing for your course. If you have operated an articulated haul truck for years and only need your competence confirmed, a verification of competency may suit you better than the full course. Ask us before you book and we will tell you which one you need.
If you are building up your machine tickets, plenty of people pair the haul truck with a roller, a front end loader or a water cart ticket and knock them over in the same visit. Our machinery bundles are worth a look if you are chasing more than one, because lining courses up back to back saves you a second trip.
Why Train with Diggerman Training
Our trainers have 20+ years on the tools. They have run haul trucks and other plant on real civil and mining sites, in real conditions, so the training sticks. You get told why the rule exists and what happens the day someone ignores it, not just what the answer is on the test.
The machines are real and they are maintained, supplied through Diggerman Earthmoving, and small class sizes mean you get proper seat time under supervision. On a ticket that is assessed on what you can actually do, that time in the machine is the whole point. Nobody leaves here with a ticket until they are genuinely competent driving the truck.
We have been a training provider since 2003, and machine tickets are the courses we run most often. The haul truck sits alongside the excavator, roller and front end loader tickets most of our students come back for. If you will be running a rigid dump truck as well, we cover that separately with the rigid haul truck course.
> “Fingers and Graham encouraged me to get my haul truck and front end loader ticket, in which I did. I also got my water cart ticket and more with their encouragement. I am now working on one of the biggest construction sites on the Sunshine Coast with a great company, driving haul trucks and rollers.”
> – Raewyn
> “After driving a Moxy (45 tonne) on a civil site on the Sunshine Coast for 2 years, I decided I better get the appropriate tickets. Thank God I did, through Diggerman. This company is so professional, from the front desk through to the instructor. I would highly recommend Diggerman to anyone who wanted to change professions.”

On-Site Articulated Haul Truck Training for Businesses
If you have staff to get ticketed, talk to us about running it as a group. We train businesses and individuals across Brisbane and regional Queensland, either at our training centre or at your workplace where you have a suitable truck and the room to run it. Training is tailored to how your crew actually works. Minimum numbers apply.
For most businesses it comes down to keeping the crew working. Getting a few operators ticketed in one intake beats sending them out one at a time across months, and training on your own machine and haul road means they finish already familiar with the gear and the ground they will use. If you are based in Brisbane, our on-site training in Brisbane page has the detail, or see the full range of courses we run if the crew needs more than one ticket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Moxy is one of the well known brands of articulated dump truck, and driving one falls under this ticket, RIIMPO337E, Conduct articulated haul truck operations. Whatever brand you end up running on site, this is the unit that covers it.
On most civil and mining sites, yes. An articulated haul truck is often just called a dump truck, an articulated dump truck or an ADT, and plenty of people search for a dump truck licence or a dump truck ticket. Whatever it is called on your site, this ticket, RIIMPO337E, is the one that covers it.
You do not need a high risk work licence the way you do for a forklift or a crane, because a haul truck is not on the high risk work list. What employers ask for is the ticket, a nationally recognised statement of attainment for RIIMPO337E, proving you have been assessed as competent to operate the truck safely. That is what this course gives you.
That is who the course is built for. No experience is needed, and the training takes you from the ground up, first the theory, then time in the truck under supervision until you are assessed as competent.
Maybe not. If you are experienced and just need the ticket, a verification of competency is usually the quicker path. It is a shorter assessment rather than a full course. Ring us with your situation and we will tell you which one applies before you book the wrong thing.
