What You Need
- A relevant base driving licence
- Training specific to the type of specialised machinery you intend to operate
- Passed theory and practical test appropriate to the equipment class
A Niche but Necessary Licence
Class F is less commonly discussed than Class B or C licences, largely because fewer drivers need it. However, anyone operating specialised industrial or agricultural machinery on public roads — not just within a private farm or worksite — needs this endorsement to do so legally, and the fee structure mirrors the standard NTSA classes.
Because Class F serves a narrower group of operators, training availability can be more limited than for mainstream classes — factor in extra lead time to find a driving school offering the specific machinery training you need, even though the government fees themselves are standard.
