Hi guys just a quick hello, I'm new to the forum. Iv just joint the rail industry as I'm about to start a career with freightliner. Wondered if there's anyone else who works for them and what they're views of the company are? Many thanks!

Hey Bud, another newbie here, i'm in the same boat as you, just starting out with Freightliner, applied for Intermodal end of August based at Eastleigh, start 10th Feb, when do you start?

Hey mate! Congratulations on getting a start! I know I was over the moon, been applying for the last year or so and finally got in! I start this coming Tuesday, based at port of felixstowe on train maintenance/inspection and terminal operations. A lot of people I know say it's a brilliant company to work for, I hope it is as I'm hoping to settle in and make old bones!! All the best to you bud!!

Exciting times mate! All seems a bit dream like at the moment, but I think this time next week it's gonna start feeling very real!
All the best.
Dave.

Ah mate, the last couple of weeks was a nightmare waiting for my medical and criminal record check, I knew I'd pass but I kept winding myself up thinking of worse case scenarios! Then I got the call for a start date
