I am not going into a slagging match Chuckfigens, but that's what Stodbart done to a lot of families in Scotand not the drivers.

Haulage is an expanding/necessary business.....plenty of room for others and even those flying a tartan pennant.

[ChuckFickens]

Me neither TWR, especially not on a memorial thread. but at the end of the day it's business. some win, some lose and why shouldn't a honest, hard working driver working for a large company earn a living over one that doesn't work for that company?

Wow, Eddie Stobart reduced prices to get more work in. Kind of a good idea I would have thought? What would you expect a new company to do, charge more than the competition?

Perhaps your family members, or whoever they were, should have gone to work for Stobart instead? Just a thought.

Your passing comment on the blokes haulage history that you do not know anything about, do your research then come back with your conclusion Twenty 20.

Blimey Heaven (or Hell) aint half in for it. Bernard Matthews and Edie Stobbart up/down there and twinning up in business.

I would be asking for a resurrection to come back down here.
