    Assessment day in a week.

    As someone that failed Freightliner's enhanced standards only on the Group Bourdon I would definitely recommend practicing that with the downloadable Tool on here. I stupidly thought I'd either sail through it or it wasn't something that could be practiced but since failing I've improved...

    Just got my feedback call after not meeting Freightliners enhanced standards.. Was quite surprised to find out it was only the Group Bourdon that let me down.

    Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

    Just had an email to say I’ve passed the online tests and have been invited to an assessment centre :) Does anyone know what the salary while training is if you do get the job? And how long it takes before going up? Also, what sort of shifts you work? Guessing as it’s freight it’s lots of nights?

    Have just taken the VSE and SJT tests.. SJT was odd.. A lot of the time 2 or 3 options seemed exactly the same with very slight changes to the wording. Was quite surprised on the first part of the VSE.. Threw me off in the first part by having only the same 2 errors appear through the whole...
