Did you do all this in one day as ive been told just hazard perception test and interview first then come back another day for driving assessment.
How long were you there.
Theory/hazard perception test on first day useally takes about 1 hr allow about 2 hr in/out.
Driving test and interveiw second visit, Think they like you to allow 6 hrs for that.

This is off their email.
Please ensure you bring with you the two parts of your driving licence and your driver’s digital tachograph card as well as your PPE (steel toe cap footwear, hi-visibility vest and gloves).
As this will involve a driving assessment, you will need to account for this time (drive and interview) within your rest periods. With this in mind please ensure you have sufficient rest period prior to your appointment time.
Please allow up to 6 hours to complete your assessment.

Nope.
6 hours is way over the top, I think they are just saying that as if they have quite a few to assess and you might have to wait in a queue to be assessed. But it generally takes about 2 hours, you get assessed which takes about an hour max, then have an interview which is 45 mins, so 3 hours should cover it I’d say, think I was in and out in less time.
What did you do on your driving assessment ?

Start with unit and trailer checks, then couple up. Then I was asked to reverse onto a bay. Then you leave the site and have a drive round Reading and then head out to the M4 via the A329m and then upto junc 11 and back to the site. Not very long at all if there’s no traffic to contend with. My mate done his assessment round that route and it took 90 mins, when I done it, it was about 40 mins.

Interview is just basically asking about your experience and a general chat about yourself. Nothing excessive. Then they tell you what the job involves and you will be asked what shifts you want, I’m unsure what’s available shift wise now, so you’ll have to wait to see what they say on that one.
They phoned me up the day after or maybe 2 days after to tell me I had been successful
Yep they will call me if Im in

Make sure you chose night shift as they pay you 25% bonus for doing nights (22:00-06:00)
That’s interesting to see i’ll have a read later.
Nights is what i was hoping for as thats what i done as a subby.
