Like every manly man, I have a thing for heavy machinery and I’ve always been kinda been curious to know where one can get lessons. Not only that but I’ve already collected 2 out of 4 possible licenses (check below) and I kinda feel obliged to get the other 2 because I’m OCD like that. Turns out Kuwait Motoring Company (KMC) offer truck driving and heavy equipment operation lessons.
KMC is who ProDrive is partnered up with for their drifting lessons which I posted about a couple of weeks ago. I called them up to get details on their truck/heavy equipment license lessons cost and it’s KD145 and includes 4 lessons (2 hours each), the driving test and the vehicle for the test. Since there is a separate license for truck driving and operating heavy equipment you would have to select which one you’re interested in before hand.
So if you’re interested in getting lessons you can contact KMC on 1878888 or visit their instagram account @KMCKuwait. They also provide regular car driving lessons and motorbike lessons and based on their instagram account seem pretty professional.
PS: That’s not my real birth date on my license. My passport has the correct date of birth, my civil ID has the correct day but the month of birth as September instead of August while my residency has neither the correct day or month. This actually caused me an issue for the first time two weeks ago when I got back from Sofia, the immigration officer was like you have three dates of birth and only allowed me to enter the country after checking with his superior.

Man, forget a heavy license. Just review the 6×6 AMG and invite me to join you š
we need someone to donate a 6×6
What did you have to do for the motorcycle endorsement? I’m hoping they just recognize mine from home. Wishful thinking?
had to take the test
I’m hoping for an easier route š If that doesn’t work out, I might be emailing you for some feedback. Thanks!
I highly doubt the company, which hires the Indians who operate the heavy machinery and trucks, shelled out 145KD for each worker…
Actually most of the companies do unless they sign contracts with a huge number of drivers. I work at KMC and the same policy of saving up by buying in bulk applies š

Why is no body asking Mark why has three birthdays? and which one is his favourite?
Mark,
Where and how can I get a motorcycle license, is there a place i could borrow and drive like cars to be licensed?
Regarding the 3 birthdays; on my civil id it only lists my year of birth, no month no day.
It doesn’t have my blood type either.
This also causes me grief at the border from time to time.
