Stobarts - poverty spec?

Saw a Stobarts motor when I was fuelling up yesterday…17 plate Volvo…driver had a cool box strapped to the passenger seat.

Are Stobarts not even speccing fridges in their trucks?

Mind you, it was also missing an ad blue cap, and the o/s top corner light was missing and the hole covered up with tape and a plastic bag…

Times are tough mate, even for the biggest, have to cut corners sometimes… :smiley:

Depends what you do , my mate has fridge , inverter , microwave and I no a fair few who do , but plenty who don’t
As for damage as was said to me it’s just cosmetic , mines got damage to bonnet / side panel from when I was off , doubt it will ever get repaired

might be a fat ■■■■■■■ that needs to carry more food than what his fridge can carry, or even his original one might be broke :wink: Day drivers cabs dont have fridges either

Only trucks on the stobarts fleet with fridges and microwaves are the race trucks when i used to work there.Everything else so basic its shocking the scania a had only had 1 electric mirror and that was a 15 plate.

Doesn’t a missing Ad Blue cap make the vehicle VOR due to the possibility of contamination or dilution ( rain ) of the Ad Blue ?

Correct. I used loads of trampers trucks when I was at Appleton.

Not one had a fridge fitted.

Their best aka elite drivers get the best trucks so that’s not a surprise.

Pretty sure my scania is ex stobrats… I have fridge freezer and microwave although I think the microwave was added later… although only 1 electric mirror though!

It is laughable really , we got the jock and beaver who don’t work for the company telling every body what the spec of stobart trucks are , I ought to start telling every one what x po ,s trucks are like because 15 yrs ago I drove for salvoes who were bought out by
Norberts who were then bought out by xpo
And by the way I went to Ibiza 15 yrs ago and it rained , so don’t bother booking your holiday there as the weathers ■■■■ :unamused:
