Has anyone had a reply from OPC after emailing them from the stage two invite? Or rang them? I haven’t had one yet :(

I reckon it’s just that they’re so busy at the moment. Took me a couple of emails and a week, that was a couple of weeks back. They might be even busier now.

Is it regarding asking if you have to only do the DMI? Have you called them? I prefer to email as a) It doesn’t require talking to a human and b) it gives me a paper trail haha. Having said that, calling might get a quicker response?

Just got home after stage 2. All OPC stuff passed, so at least that is something off my mind for future applications! DMI seemed ok, but I suppose time will tell. 3 weeks to wait for any more info! :(

How did you find it? Were the computer tests awkward? Any surprise questions in the mmi? Well done for passing all the opc tests.

Thanks man.

Pretty standard dmi questions for any job, MMI they seem to be looking for keywords, attention, health and safety etc. MMI is a bit of a grilling to be fair, but it's not THAT bad really.

Computer stuff is really down to high concentration. The photos bit is really quick, just a flash of a pic, so really need to be on the ball. Route following bit is ok, made more fun by a sticky joystick!

Well done mate! At least you passed the MMI nonetheless. Did you have to do all stage 2 tests? If you’ve passed them all that’s good anyway as even if you weren’t successful for Freightliner you can use the results elsewhere. Good luck! I’ve found that sometimes I’ve been pleasantly surprised that an interview went better than I thought, they can be very hard to call!

Thanks buddy much appreciated, I just had to sit the SJE and MMI, I had an email this morning to say that I passed the DMI and am now in a candidate pool awaiting a medical for when a course becomes available for the depot I selected, am ecstatic to say the least!

Well done, congrats! That was quite quick wasn’t is? (Heard others waiting 2 or 3 weeks?). What depot did you go for?

Cheers hopefully we'll be on the same course ;)

I can only hope at the moment, never been through this type of testing before as been in the same job for 10 years and the stage two sounds really full on but going to put everything into it.
Would be amazing to join you on the course in the future. Did they give you any idea about when you may be on a course?
