I’m trying to get onto the FIMO myself but it’s proving tough (after a few bad years), if anyone can help or pass my details to potential employer/traing privider I’d be extremely grateful

Have you been to the Pole Emploi regarding your FIMO? A good friend of mine arrived here from Ukraine and got on a LGV training course with the FIMO and ADR all paid for through the Pole Emploi. He found work straight away, firstly with a gas firm, then with us at STEF Agen and now he’s at Olano in St Jean de Luz.

Considering that truck firms are crying out for drivers in most of France I’d be very surprised if you had to pay for your own FIMO. Have you done the rounds of the local firms?

Hi Craig, Yep registered with PE but they haven’t got any funds left until April next year, same with conseil generale, put an ad on boncoin…something will come up! Like you said there is a big shortage and I’ll go anywhere. Cheers
