Tonight on Channel 5 at 8 pm, we have the second episode of “Eddie Stobart Trucks and Trailers”.
A driver takes on a delicate load of cream cakes, which she has to deliver in perfect condition to one of the company’s most important customers, but after contending with many roundabouts, she is unsure whether the cargo will have survived intact. Elsewhere, fans of the haulage business, known as `Eddie spotters’, are annoyed by the arrival of a new truck sporting an unusual name.
Could I please respectfully ask that posts are confined to discussion of this episode of the series, that comments about Episode 1 are made on that thread rather than this, and that members can refrain from posting generic “I hate all Eddie Stobart drivers” type comments.

She is very fat, I mean fit. looks like bad planning sending 7 lorries in to a factory together with only 4 loading bays.
Why was the bloke in the bakery blacked out
and why is her car number plate hidden when the car is bright pink, hardly unnoticeable?
Unlike the sad spotters who are happy to get a list of numbers from a lorry park, he may as well have been loitering on Trucknet and asked all the stobbie men what number they drive.
you can ask by all means but whether the collective will comply or not is a different matter. During/after it’s been aired this topic will ‘sink’ faster than the titanic!
will they show the cameran being left behind at p/bro services because the driver had had enough of him,said he needed a pee so driver took opertunity to get rid of him and drove off leaving him there.
will they show the cammera car catching up with truck and cammeran who got left at p/bro gesturing he wanted his cammera stuff back that was still in truck .
this and a few other things ive been told would make it more real life,but i wont hold my breath

Thank you!
harry i wouldnt worry about it,im no shrinking violet but i must admit i seriously thought of having a week on the sick rather than suffer abuse from every man and his dog after that first episode,but its been a zb good laugh,folks have took it for what it was a bit of comedy, all been as good as gold.
they only really seemed intrested in what happens to fiona [typical truck drivers .
its a bit different giving it the big-one in the real world that on a p.c

rob, not all stobart drivers are top gun types,you can stick them in the uniform but it wont change them,if you knew andy youd no what i mean
short walk:
Go on Harry admit it, you’ve replied to the ad in last thursdays
stun! Nowt to be ashamed of you can come out now!
One thing I can guarantee you is that a company like Eddie Stobart would never employ a driver like me.
why,the image portrays one thing,but looking round our canteen the reality couldnt be much farther from the truth, just run of the mill truck drivers like you get in every other firm
FROM THE BUNKER----and as the whole nation collectively holds its breath in anticipation of the "second"coming,sorry I meant Episode,on channel 5(Broadcaster of many other quality programmes)all the Saddos,Anoraks,wierdo’s,Eddie spotters and assorted knuckledraggers have had thier medication increased for the “duration”.However I understand from “sources” that a Tablet has been handed down from Mount Stobart containing the following two decrees,and I quote,With immediate effect Mo the Baptist will be cast out into the wilds of the Caldbeck Fells for forty days and forty nights! as he singularly failed to win over the many thousands on “non believers” who are out there in the Country!On the contrary it appears that he had the opposite effect and managed to singlehandedly stir up a [zb] storm which may continue un-abated until the Show finishes or is taken off by the “censors for good taste in Broadcasting”.It is further decreed that for the duration of the transmission all movement of HGVs will be suspended(with the exception of ESL vehicles of course!)to allow all non-believers to view the screening and hopefully see the error of their existing employment.Furthermore all truckstops will be placed on Red alert and chickenwire screens are to be placed over all HD flatscreens so as to deflect the M/T bottles of Lager (various), the eruption of which may start at anytime during,and certainly after,the reality show ends.PS recruitment centres will open throughout the UK and Worldwide at 9AM sharp to-morrow morning!and closed at 9.05AM on the same day!Here endeth the Lesson.Morcambe and Wise never attracted larger viewing figures to what a “Fast Eddie” soap is doing!!

Your right mate the law of averages says any firm employing large numbers of people whatever the job is going to have a percentage of bell ends.
Rob K:
What time does it start? I can hardly contain my excitement here!
Me too…
A driver takes on a delicate load of cream cakes, which she has to deliver in perfect condition to one of the company’s most important customers, but after contending with many roundabouts, she is unsure whether the cargo will have survived intact.
It certainly makes those Ice Road Truckers look like a bunch of whining jessies
