Hi Alessio,
How did you get on starting? I'm currently looking at applying to be a trainee depot driver with GA but hoping you're able to progress to a mainline driver over time.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hey mate all good here,still training and yes there isn't natural progression anymore but from what i've heard when a job comes up the company is likely to consider and prefer an internal application rather than someone from the street also been told turn over is likely to be 1 to 2 years at ilford and 2 to 4 years at southend.
When you apply remember safety is paramount when you answer their scenarios
safety "beats" company (example if the manager asks you to do favour,but you are tired and already worked 13 hours bla bla bla,you politely tell him that you can not do it)
Company "beats" customers (if a customer asks you to help him but this would affect the important meeting you have with your manager in 5 minutes,then you gently tell the customer to find another solution)
This will make sense when you read the scenarios
Hope this helps
