Yes it has been a while, 2008 in fact! I was going to reply and tell them no thanks, I’ve been in Canada since 2009, am a resident and didn’t have to do any of this medical, drug test and driving assessment nonsense that they want before hand but can’t really be bothered.

I contacted them in early ‘06’, by email, never heard anything back again, perhaps there’s an email winging it’s way to me now.
Looking forward to it.

I imagine they’re desperate for drivers and casting a very very wide net in the hope of attracting someone that at one time or another contacted them. I’m surprised my email address is still in their system after almost six years though.
No idea what the company is like to work for, no harm in responding to them to see what they say, I’d be telling them to get foo arked if they thought I was going to comply with their long list of requirements though. A criminal record check and driving record is one thing, but going to a training school for an assessment in the UK, or paying out for a medical and drugs test? I don’t bloody think so.

You never know, I just happened to spot it in my junk mail folder.
I applied to them years ago and they pointed me in the direction of kindersly.

I reckon Kindersley are at the bottom of the pile in that group, use to deal with their trl’s regularly & they’re ■■■■■■■ hanging.
I met a HWT driver (English) in Chilliwack a few years ago, said he was a recruiter & trainer driver for them, spent 20 mins bigging them up & giving me all the spiel & a calling card with his name & number on etc.
Anyway I went to bed, met him again for breakfast in the morning, after chatting, he end’s up taking H&R’s phone numbers from me.
Oh how I laughed driving away.
Upandatem,
Where are you looking to move to ? The cost of renting a house will differ massively depending where.
Only done one webcam interview and failed it miserably, she kept telling me I was a bad boy and she was going to hurt me and then wanted my credit card details.
