    Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

    Anyone who has passed the fault finding section can you tell me how many you completed in the 15 minutes you're allowed?. Think my assessment went really well barring that and now im worried I may have failed on that. I'm hoping I scraped through by some miracle.

    Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

    Hi mate, I work for freightliner as a mobile shunter, and don't take my word as gospel!. But I've heard they want 60 new drivers, as people have left and also some of the drivers are getting into there last 4 or 5 years before they retire.
