Just had a call from freightliner, I’ve passed the DMI and have been offered a course starting in may!! Delighted, sounded like she was doing the rounds today so hopefully some of you will hear something! Good luck
Congratulations. What depot was this for? I am still sat here waiting in the pool since February 2019 and haven’t heard a thing for a while now. Not sure how this is fair if you ask me? Must be something to do with the depots needed as I applied for Reading.

Does anybody please have a number or an email I can use to contact the Freightliner trainee driving team? Would be much appreciated.

Feel for you Jordan, I am in the same boat as you. Been in the talent pool for 15 months now.

Try not to get disheartened, I’ve been in the pool since the start, it’s all to do with what depots require the drivers!
Just put it in the back of your mind and out of the blue it’ll happen!

Still waiting for DMI. Passed all the OPC stuff in January so waiting patiently along with others for news!
Can I ask what is your best advice for passing the OPC assessments? Is there practice material other than the OPC material? Trying to get my foot in the door so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I didn’t really use anything other than the OPC material as I found that covered things well. I printed off actual group bourdon papers from the thread pinned to this forum and there are a couple of videos on YouTube that help you with TEA-OC. This forum was great too, search for all the different tests and there is a thread for them with people sharing their experiences etc. Good luck with it all.
