just an update got that call from williams and not good they basically said nothing available due to my age and experience but if an aprenticeship position does come up they will consider my application! so agencies here i come i got a small list to start off with but i wont contact them until i get by digicard!
Many appologies animal. " lads and ladesses "
Jimmy I have also applied for that depot as I’m in cider country somerset “oh arhh” been told they are screaming out for drivers and they take on noobies. With regards to agency’s try driver hire. They seemed pretty positive when I spoke to them. What is ur age if u don’t mind my asking?
unfortunatly clint im of the ripe old age of 21! isnt amesbury gunna b a bit of a trek?
ok so just applied speculatively to norbert dressangle and richards in eastleigh on to the agencies on mon! fingers crossed 2bh i dont think i have a hope in hell lol!
I’m 23 miles away from the depot so ain’t to bad. I have to drive 15 miles to work ATM so an extra 8 shouldn’t be a problem. Not sure if you have seen it but there is a post on here from early last year. Some little dude went for a job there and got turned down, he went nuts and probbably offended most people on this forum. I’ll try and find it and post the link.

Have a read. It keeps you entertained for about 10 mins.
ahh yes I read tht what an idiot by the sounds of it he thought he had got the job before he even applied!! us newbies get knock backs! have u got an interview with wisemans clint?
No jimmy I haven’t got an interview yet. I’m gonna ring them today and see what they say but at the same time trying not to get my hopes up. On the other hand it’s the only thing that is keeping me motivated in my current job at the mo. I know I should be greatfull for having a job and I am but have been there to long and the company I work for isn’t the same as it used to be. I don’t know why that prat on the other post lost it so much. It’s like someone said they may have called him back a couple days later and gave him another opportunity. have you put in your application yet jimmy?
last thursday i sent it mate so i should be looking at sometime this week for a reply? how long ago did u send it away should i be looking at longer than week?
i no how u feel tbh im banking on this RW application 2bf! that said my digicard came thru today now i can now actively look for work! read the post RW drivers and read the guys post about his test drive etc seems quite intense i get really worried about daily checks n stuff n this semi auto box■■?/ going to look it up on the net. that said im worrying and may not even get a look in! just been phoning agencies only one of them seem keen for an interview which is a shame so this wisemans job better come in lol! never knew having no experience would hinder it as much as it has!!
last tuesday i sent mine because i was told by the pm that they were recruiting. spoke to the pm again today just to see if they had had time to review it and they said “yes but were not recruiting at the moment. we will be again end of feb/ early march time so will keep you on file”. good job i didnt get my hopes up too much
and that was at the amesbury depot clint?

jimmy, when you sent off to get your licence updated, which form did you have to fill in. was it a D1 or a D2? or do you just send off your licence with your pass certificate?
3k… ouch. were you not offered pass protection?? would have been a bit cheaper. how many times did you fail?
no coz i failed with one company who messed me about then went with anothetr who didnt offer pass protection failed 3 times i only just passed this time with 11 minors lol, i have written it ur agency post regarding licences mate
