Eddie Stobart

[magicmick]

Are there any Eddie Stobart saddos out there like me? i have been a Stobart spotter for about three years, great fun met some nice folk, i am about number 745 on the spotters list with about 900 spots but some of those are double or treble spots. Have a go if you like i am up for any ribbing.

anyone can use it mick, when we go fishing on a sunday morning up to arnside we always call in for a coffee and a bacon barm, they are excellent!

[magicmick]

I did not know that twr, interesting, i guess you don't make such an empire without stepping on a few toes

You can park there Mick, no probs, E.S. also has a large depot at Crick, just off the MI, that depot has the rail connection, the Tautliners are put on the backs of adapted rail bogie's & railed Northbound.

When I used to drive up and down the motorways for work or pleasure I always thought the journey had really begun when I saw the Stobart Truck.

Norbert Dentressangle doesn't own a London airport, Eddie Stobart does.

[dickythecook]

sorry, that should read... when I saw the first Stobart Truck

E.S. a few years ago bough out Robsons of Carlisle, Eddie did not like the way the drivers used to wear boiler suits & any shirt will do type of clothing, then drivers were drivers " Roping & sheeting" not the glory boys they have now, I admire his stance regards the cleanliness of the fleet, but at one time if a driver did not wear a tie & was seen not to wear a tie they were sacked.

I was going to say that jno it would be interesting to see who is the bigger company either in Europe or GB he is into rail, road, and now air. Isee ther is a company up in Scotland called Malcom i think who is big both road and rail.

[magicmick]

I think the oh and i would draw the line at that triggerhappy

Do not ever sully the Stobart name with putting the word morons in the same sentence.
Bosses are ignorant and their drivers seem to be much the same. (malcolms)

[wolf63]

Can you not cheat - find out the names of the lorries and then pretend you saw them?

[TWR]

Malcom is a big comp, but the Biggest private in the UK is E.S. the largest in Europs is N.D. & I gather, bigger that E.S.

[magicmick]

sound good to me dotty a fleet of trucks bacon barms and coffee, spotters heaven

[TWR]

Alba, if you ever get the time just have a chat to a HGV Driver, ask him / her the hours they work, the pay they get, the abuse they get it will open your eyes. been there but did not take the sht that some tried to give me.

[magicmick]

sorry alber Malcoms withdrawn, wolf 63 you are awfull but i like you, i think that is called cheating they send you a book with all the names reg's and fleet numbers you can tick them of then add them to the site

[naomi24]

I've never heard of this. How interesting. I didn't know the trucks have names. It's a hidden world right in front of my eyes. What's the betting the next time I see a lorry I'll look for the name!!

[albaqwerty]

I have utmost respect for HGV drivers, it was the boss of this particular company which riled my neighbours and I up.
Good and bad apples in all walks of life.

[albaqwerty]

I haven't seen a Stobart truck in the West of Scotland for years :-(
