Oh yes sorry aced1, I did the afternoon assessment how about you? I am fairly confident about the two further tests but looking at the various posts on the subject of the interview not looking forward to what I expect to be a gruelling interview.

Yes also did the afternoon assesment, yes same as yourself really. If fortunate enough to get to the structured interview, we are in for quite a grilling i believe we are in for a grilling.

Hello everyone,

I never heard back after applying so it's safe to assume that I've been unsuccessful this time round.

Anyway, all the best to everyone who are going through the assessments and I hope they all go very well for you!

For your information, I kept the full original job advert in Word (.docx) format and the sample learning contract (.pdf) which I'll just leave attached here for your reference.

All the best! :D

be the tough part.

Yeah I agree, not too worried about the 2 tests, going to get researching some questions they might ask. You'll have to post how you get on, give me a bit of a heads up. Good luck for the 7th!

There is hope yet for those who have had no response to applications!
I applied in the middle of August and today I got my invite to attend assessment on the 29th. This was the first time I have had any correspondence from them.

I wouldn't have thought anything had changed. I have passed mt4, glop, bourdon, dials with a toc. So straight to stage 2 for me.

Talks are 'ongoing' based around productivity / retention package.

Basically, drivers want GB wages with DBS conditions - management want DBS wages with GB conditions.

Best of luck with that!

I would imagine Schenker are cheaper than the competiton if they have the same policy as they do for road freight exports to Europe, ideal if you dont care when the cargo gets to the destination, this business model may lead to low overheads such as wages maybe

For me badly I really mucked up the reaction test and didn't pass it so did not get interviewed. One of my lives gone and now have to wait 6 months before can apply again to a TOC/FOC. I really hope the others did a lot better than me. Good luck to those of you yet to take the second assessment day.
