    I am trying to apply online for a test for trucks and it keeps asking for MTO: .
    I have no idea what it is and it is a compulsory field but the website don't explain what the hell it is.

    Can anyone explain please?

    Thanks
    007

    Apparently it's the number on your driving licence.

    Sorry for all the questions, this MTO number is the driver number 27/xxxxxxx or the red serial number on the licence?

    Yes to apply for a C1 or a C you need to have a full licence in category B.

    To apply for a E+C/E+C1 you need to have a full licence in C/C1.

    Things must have changed a bit. I thought you could apply for C1 with no driving experience?

    Yes, you could up to a few years ago but that particular avenue of pleasure has been closed off. :D

    I did the Cat 'C' Theory test last month,only a few questions were actually about cat 'C',the rest were Cat 'B' & general rules of the road.
    make sure you have the revised theory test book(€17.99);)
    when you pass the theory test you will have to get a medical cert from your Doctor before you can apply for your prov licence.you can download the form here-http://www.ism.ie/keywords/truck-driving-school.html were it says 'Getting Started'

    Sat the test today and passed 40/40. :)

    There were 30 questions about trucks and the remaining 10 were general rules of the road, was only asked one road sign (low flying aircraft) LOL! :D

    Went to the doctor this evening and got my medical completed. So I am off to the tax office tomorrow for my licence.

    Just need to find an instructor now. Thanks for all the help and advice i have received on this forum.
