First starting I received very little training which left me a bit confused on the job that I was required to do. However, as the branch got older and I moved into different positions, training was more than sufficient. The main skills I have picked up working at Mainfreight is improving customer relationships and understanding lead-times for freight to travel interstate

When I first started I had 3 day induction around all departments. I feel like it was too much information and I did not obtain everything was said. I had a 4-day induction course in Epping, I felt like that was too long, I believe 3 days would have been perfect

We have a ready fire aim approach which means sometimes we get into the task without training. We see it as a positive as were not waiting around the get the task done and we can learn from our mistake. However, a little more training at an Ops level would be valuable for an new employee.

Training can be somewhat lacking, at times you feel like you've been thrown in the deep end, that is part of the culture though.

There are multiple short courses on offer, such as Microsoft Excel, time management, Public Speaking. There are also leadership courses and induction courses which are far more difficult to be included in, and for which participation was promised to me at time of initial employment that have not materialised.

Mainfreight invests a lot into its Team and the training that is provided. Everyone gets to participate in a week long induction course based in Melbourne. This is an awesome opportunity where you meet Team members from other branches and get to better understand the Mainfreight culture.
