Whats this programme actually called?Home And Away.
They are calling it stobart trucks and trailers
Are they actually the largest Logistics company in the UK or just the one with the highest profile?
Most members of the public couldn’t reconise a truck from your average logistics PLC, but they reconise Stobarts,

welcome aboard mark, get ready for some flak and ignore it. how about you give your take on the filming and what you expect from the filming… and how about after each episode did it portray you in the light you expected.

if its about us drivers and what we do how come theyve picked a fit bird from 200 drivers at our depot 
, its image, it looks far better having some fit bird advertising your company that some fat hairy assed bloke ,
if its to represent the company lets have some film of knackered drivers getting out of bed at midnight and rolling back in the afternoon looking the worse for wear, not some bird done up to the nines who looks more suitable for the catwalk than driving a truck 
on a second note how does haydock truck show let the people see what we really do,sounds more like a jolly for the lads to me 
i hope im wrong ,but ive got a feeling this t.v show wont really represent what us drivers really do,but well see.

I can agree with that having been in a promotional film a few years back. They didn’t want you to keep going back and forward until they got the shot they wanted?

True reality doesn’t sell, so it doesn’t make good telly unless there is loads of confrontation between certain characters, which wouldn’t be allowed by Stobarts, or there is some glamour and in all these documentries about these male dominated jobs they love it if there is a woman working there, give them the woman in a mans world angle and if she attractive all the better.
down the glen came stobarts men.
a load of ballet dancers.
one in three had a l.g.v.
and the rest were [zb] ankers.

I will stick up for fiona yes she a good lookin girl and not many of them about doing our job and as for a jolly at haywood think living in a truck wi filmin crew there morning day and night living in my truck is what a trucker does along wi the rest of us that was got so to be weekended at a truck feast was a laugh but don’t every driver have a laugh at a weekend especaily when with mates.
Going back t fiona if anything she will make good tv as she not your normal driver just goes t show she can do our job aswell as be a mum
When I take a seat
and try to eat,
I always get a slaggin,
Im just like you
but better paid
and in a nicer wagon
So call me names
and be unkind
it does,nt really matter
I wont forget
the time we met
and you wanted to get hired

For any one who is interested Channel 5 are showing a new series of the above subject the first episode is starting on Fri Sept 24th the series was filmed from there Crick depot.
think i’ll give it a miss , im stapling my eyelids to the kitchen table that night .
the sooner eddie is gone for good the better !
yorkshire terrier:
ffs why does stobart get all this great publicity,
they laid me off after beating a life thetening illness said i would never be fit to do the job again,
laid loads off over the last few years,
employs anyboby these days,
drivers are no better than any other driver,
trucks are no better than any other truck,
and for some reason the company seem to think they set the standards
You have learnt about big company politics, DHL did it to me in exactly the same way, their medical advisers have more clout than my specialist. I am not bitter about it though. DHL did me a favour

I don’t know why they haven’t used that video of the bloke in Boots at Nottingham showing off the reversing skills needed to be a professional driver.
Remember the days when Ady1 had a job for life with the best company in the UK
Having your company on TV didn’t do Stelios any harm either!

Things don’t change This was the first ditty that was sang to me over the CB substitute ‘Dukes men’ for Stobarts men Was on my way back from Stranraer after picking my first motor up from the dock when starting for Dukes Transpt; Must have been a Sat; in March 80. The first day of many long days & nights over the next 20yrs;

Probably a third of their fleet (600 vehicles out of 1800) is ■■■■■■■ with Tesco, even if they lost it they would still be bigger then everyone else.
yet another myth that stobarts are the biggest just because all their trucks look the same whereas the real big boys have trucks in lots of different liveries, some research on google comes up with this quote without the need to blow smoke up stobarts bottom
