Initial admin/theory:
- Tacho card download
- Cards/right to work scans
- Licence check
- Swab and breathalyser drug and alcohol tests
- 4 paper theories covering:
> WTD/EU Driver's hours
> Road signs/markings
> Vehicle height maths & bridge strike procedure
> 1 very short paper I'm blanking on. Possibly on road conduct, safe driving basically
Physical assessment:
- Vehicle checks
- Tacho card intro (I'm a new pass)
- Half coupling to fridge trailer
- Trailer checks
- 20/30 min road ride
- Reverse back into original bay
- If assessor is happy, brief 15-20 min interview about the nature of the role, brief summary of work history, when you can start, salary, your questions: brass tacks basically.
All in all, a very straightforward no-nonsense process, very refreshing. And they have unlimited free coffees from the vending machines :)))
