I don’t work for Avanti but I’d imagine your train handling hours could be on any day of the week so another job would be impossible irrespective of their rules.

Could also be Birmingham. I doubt where applicants live will influence where the course is held. 1658482018 Does that include the 4% salary increase?

Sounds like you’ll be in with me! 8-)

Well done Bonzo. When and where do you start?

Anyone else get their contract, start date, etc yesterday?!

Lol! Pretty confident I’m OK on all those. My concern is they’ll only give me a week’s notice when I need to work 4! 1646245812 I think what you’re talking about a provisional job offer when the original poster is referring to an actual confirmed contract. I’ve been given a vague idea of when...

Some of these responses are panicking me slightly. I’ve been offered a job pending a medical but I wasn’t given a start date. All they told me was that the course was likely to start in April. I need to give a months notice. What the hell do I do if my FOC give me a week’s notice?! 1646206706...

Yep, medical should be the final stage. Had mine on Friday so keeping everything crossed!

I’ve been in a talent pool for 13 months and I’ve recently been given a conditional offer.

Thanks mate. Well worth the wait. Good luck to you and everyone else still in the process!

Had my medical today. Went well and quietly confident (famous last words) having originally applied 2.5 years ago. The chap carrying out the medical said that FL seem to be hiring a lot of trainee drivers based on the number of medically he was carrying out. Makes sense I guess. Catching up...

Yep, I had the same email. 1644872336 Must say, I’m surprised you’re not being tested in Watford!

Hi, there’s no target number with medicals. You either pass or fail. Good luck!

What address is it? Is it at 1 Wellstones?

Hi, does anyone have experience of working out of Earles Sidings with FL? Conditions, routes, shifts, etc. Thanks in advance!

Trainee driver offer with FL pending a medical. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Venna. The second ‘e’ in Earles was throwing me. Yep, progressing with a Trainee Driver application based there. 1643369704 Thanks Martin. That second ‘e’ was throwing me! Cheers

Hi all, Anyone familiar with Earles Sidings? Firstly, stupid question but how is it pronounced? Is it one syllable or two? Secondly, what Freightliner routes run from there? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Terry/Numbskull. So the only rule of thumb is 12+ months. Sounds a bit open ended. Hopefully with Covid rules being relaxed, training shouldn’t suffer any disruption!
