    EMR Various Driver Roles - Liverpool

    I'm sure any self respecting adult has worked so plenty of examples to draw upon. They also do not need to be work related at all as long as you can demonstrate in your answer what they're looking for

    Is it possible to change TOC after qualifying as a driver?

    I'm unaware of anyone was in the position afterwards. Alot of people had left before them with no recourse. Just being brutally honest as alot think they still can't be touched

    Is it possible to change TOC after qualifying as a driver?

    To be spiteful. The former employee was in a full dialogue with the company solicitor who had the address. They have never shown in court as part of the set aside appeal and never attempted to collected the funds.

    Is it possible to change TOC after qualifying as a driver?

    I know of a toc that allowed someone to leave then come after them for the training money. They wanted an pretty unreasonable amount monthly and wouldn't compromise. The person couldn't agree to there demands and had already secured a position. They got there solicitor to issue a CCJ at an...

    Move from TOC to Freightliner

    pastures new ?

    Redundancies are not happening at Northern or any other toc due to covid. While freight is stable at the moment I would seriously consider the volatility of it. Regarding the shunter position it can be a positive move however there are no guarantees on progression into the driver role. If...

    Definitely a great thing to do. Make sure the depot has the facilities you need before committing and allow your self plenty of time for the inevitable's.

    Northern Rail Medical

    Shouldn't impact your start time at all. Only thing that you don't find out on the day is drugs and alcohol result. Bare in mind staff are up the wall and working from home so any comma will be delayed
