The medical I had with another company said I’d passed everything on the day, as Carl said. The only exception being the drug test which would be sent away and could take a week or more to come back before they then inform the company who sent you.

Sorry to jump on this thread. There is currently a vacancy advertised with GBRF at Peak Forest that I was thinking of going for. I thought there were only about 10 drivers there so either a mass exodus is expected or they're taking extras on.

How long did it take from applying to interview stage for you please? Thanks

Are you already a driver? I’m due to start on a training course in September. It would have been around 6 weeks from application to start, but I had to be reviewed by the Dr so took longer.

I was told at interview they’ve taken on more work.

Yes currently driving for a TOC. Can't decide whether to make the switch!

From what I’ve heard peak is the best depot to work from (according to a driver trainer). Mainly Monday to Friday and not so many night shifts, again I can’t guarantee this to be true.
