You owe me a rollieThe current employee, and yourself?
You don't actually, the first ones a freebie hahaThe current employee, and yourself?
I think I got on OK, it was all quite relaxed! Nowhere near the horror I thought it would be! How about yourself?how did you get on in interview mate? Came out and it was just other matey sat there.
Haha Where's she from?Mine was the same. You hear horror stories but was no where near that bad. Had to ask her about the accent during interview though was paying too much attention to her voice than the questions haha
Pervert hahahaCyprus. I thought she was alright to be honest. Quite liked the accent :P
Yeah she seemed OK to be fair
Pervert hahaha
Yeah she seemed OK to be fair
She was nice, kinda took my mind off the assessments momentarily hahaaa!!
CongratsWell buzzing is an understatement!! Iv passed!!
I wonder how many vacancies for trainees on this intake. I think I remember a figure of 100 new & qualifieds wanted over the next year or two mentioned on day 1 assessment.
Now that you mention it all the information boards on the first day were heavy haul...I wonder this will end up being intermodal, heavy haul or both. I know all the recruitment literature had freightliner limited, but my reference request had heavy haul on it.
Congrats all! I'm sadly out as this stage, have asked for feedback from MMI. Really keen to get feedback to understand where I need to focus for next time.
Best of luck to everyone still in the running!
Ah mate I’m sorry for you. But as was said before, you did extremely well bud! I wish you all the very best and you never know, may cross paths one day now I know we live the same end of town!!
Congrats

I heard it was 10 for ipswich, 5 for tilsbury

You probably find it will be predominantly intermodal with a bit of heavy haul thrown in. Pretty much all the drivers whom have left ipswich where intermodal, who have either retired or gone to another toc. I can recall several driver talking of new contracts including heavy haul work.
I’m just curious as to what will happen I.e interview process, assuming there’s 30 of us who have passed psychometric exams, and there’s 15 positions. Will those who don’t get offered an interview this time round therefore be entered into a talent pool, ready for the next graduate scheme? I can’t see Freightliner having 30 people sponsored by them to pass the psychometric exam, only to forget half of them to then do the same process again 6mnths down the line.
Has anyone actually had an interview date confirmed yet?

It's under intermodel conditions at the moment. Rumours are that the next scheme is under heavy haul terms.
Please to say I have passed also however for anyone to have fell at the last stage massive well done for getting that far.
Speaking to a couple of managers regarding the scheme, a lot of people applied and to simply get to the assessment stage you done well.
Fingers crossed for the interview all and hopefully we will all be successful
Ahh cheers

Well done mate, I knew you would get there in the end....I also knew you was a spotter and wanted to join the big boys club..... You will have to start making the tea if you come in as the jnr boy, because you never made me one when I used to come in. Good luck with the interview, I reckon you would make a good driver.
