Hi everyone.
I’m soon to be doing an assessment with Hoyer, I’ve heard they include a maths question sheet in the assessment.
Does anyone have any experience with this please?
Being my first ADR assessment any advice would be much appreciated.
Diesel Dave will be more knowledgeable in your query but I’m guessing the maths is how many kgs, or litres for ADR limits, presumably you will be on the tankers.
On general haulage curtain siders, there are packing groups, weights and so on.
With the orange plates, DVSA and the police do random checks on your correct PPE.
Don’t leave the yard without everything needed.
Make sure the torch works and fire extinguishers in date and tested.
Over night parking must be secure.
Most Adr depots are small so don’t rush take your time.

My crystal ball is away for repair at the moment Tobes…
We don’t know the type of ADR work that is being contemplated, is it either packages or tanks?
TBH, I’ve never heard of an ADR assessment, so maybe there’s a misunderstanding somewhere between that and the more common type of assessment, such as drivers’ hours or a spin up the road?
So little info to go on.

There is a Facebook page for tanker drivers. it doesn’t make good reading regarding hoyer . Crap start times long shifts etc. the training is first class management are rubbish. many do the training get the passport and move on . If you go on the Facebook page do it under a fake profile as hoyer monitor it heavily
It’s not a maths test although there is an element of maths in it. Don’t worry though as it’s just simple adding and subtraction. There is a time limit but as long as you don’t dwell on any one question too long you should be fine. Are you sure you want to get into the fuel industry? It’s not the job for life you’d expect/hope it to be, especially on the new contracts that are given out now.
It may be something like subtracting 80% away from 100%
Q. What are you left with?

This dont worry about it mate but as had been said its not the job it was and its certainty not an easy job its a rush rush job with early starts and shifts and if its raining cats n dogs or snowing your standing out in it while tipping
Another thing is some contracts you get a set amount of hours to complete a job and you dont get paid for the 1st hour of any delays make sure you ask all the questions as once your trained if you leave there will be a claw back clause in your contract

Thank you all for your replies.
Although the said company seems to have a bad rep I will take my chances.
To be honest it can’t be much worse than places I’ve worked in the past.
My advice…if you’re already earning a decencent wage, i.e £30k odd then it’s not worth it. A highly pressurised industry with no room for error and working terrible shifts (including Sat n sun nights) for not much more than you earn in general. If you were going for DHL asda/Morrison’s then that’s a different story but otherwise in my opinion at least, don’t bother. Hoyer will put you on £15 hr then take your break off you and your first hours delay, that’s over £26 a shift, which then doesn’t seem so great for all the stress you’re under. No Sat nav’s either so you have to find your way by using route cards, which certainly adds to the pressure you’re already under to meet job times so you lose less money. Good luck anyway!
