Getting your truck licence from the Kāpiti Coast is a straight run down the expressway. 2Fathers Driver Training covers Class 2, 4 and 5 plus your Forklift OSH and F, Wheels Tracks Rollers and Dangerous goods endorsements, with classroom courses at our Porirua facility at Kenepuru, about 26 minutes from Paraparaumu on Transmission Gully.
We are NZTA and MITO approved. That matters, because our courses combine the required unit standards with practical training and assessment, so you can get a full heavy vehicle licence without holding the heavy vehicle learner for the usual stand-down period.
Most of our students are getting licensed for work. Freight and delivery runs serving the coast’s growing towns, civil crews on the new Otaki to Levin highway, and warehouse and yard jobs around Paraparaumu. We will tell you straight which class or endorsement the job actually needs, then book you in.
With options for log book and truck hire.

Classroom courses run at our Porirua facility at Kenepuru, not on the coast itself. The drive is the easy kind: the Kāpiti Expressway south to Mackays Crossing, straight onto Transmission Gully, then off at the Kenepuru exit. About 26 minutes from Paraparaumu outside of peak.
The train is a real option here, and that is rare for our locations. The Kāpiti Line stops at Kenepuru, so you can board at Waikanae, Paraparaumu or Paekakariki and ride through with no changes. From Paraparaumu Station the trip is about 35 minutes.
The theory runs in class. Class 2 is two days, Class 4 and 5 are a day (plus the logbook day if you need unit 24089). Endorsement courses are up to a day. Practical training and assessment for the truck licences happen at a time we agree with you, and we will tell you upfront if that lands on a separate day so you can plan work around it.
You will get your pre-course reading before the day, so you turn up ready. For the forklift practical, bring steel-cap boots and a hi-vis if you have them.
The Kāpiti Coast is one of the faster-growing parts of the lower North Island, and the roads built this past decade are a big reason why. The Kāpiti Expressway runs the length of the coast from Mackays Crossing to north of Otaki, and Transmission Gully connects it straight through to Porirua and Wellington. The next stage, the Otaki to north of Levin highway, started construction in 2025 and will keep civil crews busy at the northern end of the district for years.
That growth shows up in the work. New subdivisions going in from Paekakariki to Otaki, industrial and commercial development around Paraparaumu and the airport at Kāpiti Landing, market garden and rural freight along SH1, and delivery runs serving close to 60,000 residents. All of it needs Class 2, 4 and 5 drivers, forklift operators and machine operators with the right endorsements.
We are not based on the coast. Classroom courses run at our Kenepuru facility in Porirua, about 26 minutes down the expressway, or a direct ride on the Kāpiti Line. For that trip you get Class 2, 4 and 5 plus every endorsement from one NZTA and MITO approved provider.
