Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

[GLENMAYE77]

I’ve not got a Stage 2 date yet but I’m my email it advises either in or after October 2018.....I have a holiday booked for the first 2 weeks of November. I’m wondering if I give them notice of these dates would they take them in to account so as not to give me a Stage 2 date whilst I’m away?

I rang as im away the end of this month and if i passed stage 1 i didnt want istage 2 falling on those days... i was told its all done by email and i would have to wait until i recieved a pass or fail email. Thankfully i passed and the date i got was for the 3rd of next month but people on here have tried to change dates in the past and have been told "no" basically.

That’s what I’ve seen, I thought if I tell them before they allocate dates I may have a better chance?

I sat stage 1 on the 30th Aug and passed!! Stage 2 for me is on the 17th October. Strange how some people haven’t been told specific dates yet for the stage 2?

I think it’s down to how urgent the requirement is at each depot.
Think Crewe and Birmingham seem to be the 1st batch.

I sat stage 1 on the 31st pm and have been given 18th October for stage 2.

Applied for Tilbury though...

 

[Ashkemp91]

Does anybody know what kind of questions you get asked in the MMI?

Finally someone else for Tilbury!

Yeah! I’m asssuming that you’re travelling quite far as well, are you going night before and staying in a hotel?

 

[Bristol VRIII]

I’m planning on doing the same....I don’t have much choice as it’s a 200-mile journey for me. It could be a bit of a nightmare with the stuff I need to take, although not loads, I don’t like to turn up at these things with a backpack or similar and a load of paperwork as it can look disorganised I guess. Although I won’t have a lot to bring, even taking my suit will require some planning I guess

Well done on passing mate, anybody else got stage 2 on 26th September?

 

[Pete C]

Yeah absolutely, in the Premier Inn

Was going to take the train up too from Euston as less stress, but it seems you can't really get to the assessment building on foot which is annoying so might have to drive.

Yeah I have read that somewhere too.
Will have to drive as well although 3.5 hours eeeek.
What date is your stage 2?

I think you can get their on foot, but there are a lack of footpaths in the industrial area from what I gather. Can't see it being any busier in that respect than the Ibis Hotel was for Stage 1.

Cheers mate, and you. Relieved and a bit surprised haha. But I've always said that sometimes in these situations you just don't know how it's gone and can't call it until the email arrives.

 

[Patriotic_Wolf]

To everyone whos sat stage 2... are the pictures on the screen for 1 second or 2 seconds? Thanks in advance

Just about a second. Try not to get phased by the computers. You can practice as much as you want.

Totally agree.

Was wondering if they eventually tell you how you scored on each test individually...

 

[Mizzmo]

for the people who have taken the Tea-Occ test is the test exactly like the one in the following link? is it as straight forward, or does it increase in tempo? many thanks

 

[Pete C]

The problem is how far it is - the road once you're inside the Freightliner bit alone is about 15 mins walk! I'll try to illustrate with some screenshots...

 

[Mizzmo]

For low tones, there's one video on YouTube, (search tea-occ and you should find it), and also if you Google "low tones test track 1" you'll find another. They're both a fair bit harder than the actual test so if you can do them you'll be fine

thank you. only just seen your post now

You would be knackered by the time you get to the place!

Drive or take a cab I would advise...

 

[Nishhh]

thank you. only just seen your post now

Also when they do the tones together with circling of the paired symbols I noticed that they give you space for 12 answers but actually only played 8 which I found did throw me off a bit.

Yeah exactly. And you can't rely on a taxi to get you there on time... Or even turn up sometimes

Hey guys,

Subject to medical I've been accepted into their trainee driver programme. 3.5 years of waiting has paid off. I'm over the moon.

It's moved so quickly since stage 2 testing on 4th September. If I remember I think they're looking at early november start and I'm down for Birmingham.

It's a good sign for rest of you how quickly it's moved. Not seen that before

 

[L4zy]

Is anyone down for stage 1 on Friday morning.

Can you give us an idea of what to expect...
