He’s busily holding a slice of bread to either side of his head and claiming to have made the worlds first idiot sandwich!

I know they have a depot In Swadlincote, Derby. A couple of our lads have recently gone there.

Swadlincote and worksop with unit parking at barlborough running out of workshop are main ones to my knowledge.
A few explore yards round country specialising in different aspects of construction. Maybe they’ve got odd tractor units based there but I couldn’t be sure.

They seem to be chucking a lot of money at it. But I guess that what William Stobart Does, He seems to do very well out of it :imp:

I think they got plenty of drivers and work when Heanor Heavy closed it’s transport sector. WS Transport got in on that work as well.

Always been the . The big boys move in on what appears to be a lucrative sector, throw money into , then try running it like general haulage which is what they are used to (stabrot cars). 5 or 7 years later renew fleet cos of image and put loads of good second vehicles on the market so everyone else can afford to have a go.

And Metcalf farms.

Im led to believe explores heavy haulage division are ex heanor drivers managed by ex heanor management. Only what I heard second-hand.
