Near Death Experience Due To Eddie Stobart

Had to take my eyes of the road for approx 5 secs then rub them… Want to know why■■? One of Stobart Rail Scania Highlines PX58 *** was pulled into CArlisle Weighbridge, thats right pulled into Carlisle Weighbridge… Had a flat bed on with flat slab concrete on the back… Im still in shock, was almost going to phone the Carlisle depot.

Just be gratefull that you wern’t pulled . Now get up the road and get that trailer shipped /down the road and get that trailer tipped. :wink:

Even Royal Mail arn’t exempt from what I have seen, nor are the supermarkets.

He probably just popped in to grass them up as his truck was defective due to the stereo not working :wink:

Funny you should post this, I was going to recount my experience from one night last week after I’d pulled into Southwaite NB, as soon as I was stopped I put the night heater on and pulled the curtains to keep the heat in, and then did some paper work. 10 mins later job done I pulled the curtain to get out to go and get some grub, and what should be alongside my door but VOSA in their Galactic Cruiser with a crew of 3, [zb] I thought, what the [zb] do they want, until I realised there was an Eddy wag and drag pulled up behind them with the driver sat in his seat looking well [zb]ed off. One of the cruiser crew then got out his trolly board, and proceeded to slide under the gearbox area of the truck for a quick look, looking for magnets maybe :stuck_out_tongue:
I couldn’t believe it, and put it down to the fact that as it was an 04 reg, there would be loads of km’s on the clock, but then maybe they’ve been a bit naughty to warrant the extra attention :grimacing: .

while stuck on the m74 during the snow we were talking 2 a stobby driver beside us. he said that since they started taking on eastern european drivers they had all of a sudden been getting pulled by vosa.

You wouldnt believe the stories ive heard BOB… Especially with the ones that are working in the North Ireland just now lol…

when i used to work for stobarts (shhh! :blush: ) about 14 years ago i was stopped about 3 times in one week, always at milton keynes J14.

Sorry, you pulled the curtains for 10 minutes ‘to do some paperwork’?
Would that have been Mayfair by any chance? :wink:

Mary and her five brothers come to mind

I think you’ll find it’s Mary and her five sisters! Don’t think he’d want the brothers involved! :laughing:

Mrs Palm and her five daughters was always my favourite.
