Eddie Stobart Day Assessment? Urgent advice please!

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

Afternoon all!
I passed my class one (woo hoo!!) and signed up to a couple of agencies with not much luck as I have no blooming experience :open_mouth:

However, one particular agency brought me in for an interview and had a written test for Eddie Stobart’s new Widnes depot. I passed the assessment and now I have a driving day at 4am tomorrow (saturday). They said it is full days paid work. Question is, what do I expect when I get there? Has anyone else experienced this? Did you pass? Is someone with you for the day or do they just leave you to it??

Thank in advance, Neil. :smiley:

:laughing: :laughing: That’ll be because you didn’t ask that question. :wink: :grimacing:

Now you have asked, I reckon it’s to do with all the luverly chemicals they make and use in the Widnes area. :bulb:

i pass over the runcorn bridge every nite and the smell is absolutely disgusting…only once you get to the widness side though, and that bloody mound of scrap metal with a st.georges flag on the top should be got rid off.its a blot on the landscape.

Agreed mate!! :smiley:

I’ve heard tell that they’re planning another bridge in addition to the first one.

A quick ‘google’ got me this:

The Mersey Gateway Project is a major project to build a new toll bridge over the Mersey between the towns of Runcorn and Widnes.

That news came from here:
