    Freightliner application waiting time

    Yeah all passed out Unfortunately, I did have to resit the dmi since it had been 2 years since the first one. Not sure what the actual time scale of them lapsing is.

    Freightliner application waiting time

    Two and a half years I waited in the talent pool! I’d given up hope but then got the call. Definitely worth the wait.

    Time scale for applications

    Unfortunately not. I thought the situation was dead in the water back last year. Got contacted to have a second dmi interview in January and it’s moved quickly since then. They said they couldn’t understand why I’d been left for so long.

    I received the email. I had a DMI back in October 2018 and was placed in a talent pool waiting for a position. I emailed back saying I was happy resit the DMI if necessary but haven’t heard anything since. Sent a couple of follow up emails as well but still no reply.

    Colas Rail UK- Apprentice Train Driver

    I contacted recruitment, as I also applied but haven’t heard anything, and they said keep an eye on your emails because you will hear either way. They replied within 10 minutes which I was impressed with as most companies never even respond.

    Personally, I drove from Birmingham up to Crewe the night before and spent the night. Wanted to make sure I was as fresh as possible and wouldn’t be late.

    Your results last 5 years with them. So I presume that long.
