Thrown my hat in the ring for this. Cheers for sharing!
A friend of mine who also applied got a rejection email the day after applying, but I think it was because he lived more than an hour away.Has anyone had an email? I’ve just had a rejection email stating it was a pleasure speaking to me to learn more about my experience. The only thing is I haven’t actually had any contact from DB and I’ve not spoken to anyone.
It certainly does, I do wonder if this is for a pre-existing role or for a new contract. Having looked on other threads the junior driver role seems to be a yard shunter type job. I think aggregates should be fairly consistent in their demand even through covid times. Time will tell I'm sure.I think a lot of freight driver demand obviously depends on the contracts won or lost at the various depots as they flip between Freightliner, GBRF and DB
Business is booming at Peak Forest, new contracts out of Tunstead and increases in services. There are currently 3 people at the training school (one is a PF shunter) and an ex Toton yard driver who is currently undergoing train handling to become a mainline driver. I also know of someone else who has been offered a job but has no start date. There are also 3 maybe 4 drivers who are looking to retire in the next 18 months so hang on in thereIt certainly does, I do wonder if this is for a pre-existing role or for a new contract.

Its BOOM time for all freight drivers !!!!I think a lot of freight driver demand obviously depends on the contracts won or lost at the various depots as they flip between Freightliner, GBRF and DB
Thank you for the info. It's much appreciated! I thought it might be the case that it would be quite busy, but it's good to hear things are on the up there.Business is booming at Peak Forest, new contracts out of Tunstead and increases in services.
