Hi all, I’ve a friend who is looking to apply and it’s asking for a GTR reference number. Anyone know what that is referring to? Thanks

The fact that HS2 is still plodding along currently, makes it look fairly certain that drivers will be ok, where do you think the drivers for HS2 will come from….most likely poached from TOCS & FOCS. Also as stated above, most TOCS are already massively short staffed.

@Coach Carter wow, still not back training? Over a year off, incredible.

Where will you be based at WMT, great company to work for

Definitely go for it, what do you have to lose? Everybody makes mistakes but as long as you emphasise what you have learned from it then hopefully you’ll be ok. Just be honest! Good luck.

The way I see it, the first part is just setting the scene for the question. First part is saying they want someone who can solve a problem, assess situations and come up with answers. Now the question poses the problem of getting to work on time when they run 24/7, Do you have the skills to...

Your comment above suggests you are in a talent pool. It’s when they say that you have been successful but give no dates, that’s the pool.

Straight to DMI and job offer if successful and based on medical.

At our TOC it’s not multiple choice, 62 questions requiring fully written answers.

Birminghams ‘lockdown‘ is only slightly different to what the rest of the country faces in that they can’t mix households, other than that it’s all the same. Shouldn’t make any difference to recruitment

@Bufclee are you now driving?

When I sat the tests for Freightliner, the practise material for the DFFT was more than enough to give you an insight into what to expect. The only difference being that the practise gave you one problem to solve whereas the real test was two. But if you work out the practise material then...

17 out of 20 and only standard pass, did they specifically say you’d passed DFFT? I only did 12 and got the enhanced pass 2 years ago. Most people I spoke to only got to question 11,12,13 In the time limit.

Nope, it’s a numbers game, apply for everything!

Which is why you should apply for all trainee driver jobs that are within your area. Don’t hesitate, just keep applying.
