Wasn’t able to take a pic of this but saw a Eddie Stobart liveried 7.5/12 tonner heading North on the M6 
It was a Merc Atego sleeper cab with a dryfreight box body with a taillift and looked brand new, could smell the paint in the southbound lane 
So have they started running some smaller motors 
and if they are does anyone know where they are based
Regards
Dave Penn;
I saw an Eddie Stobart liveried coach, a month or so ago, southbound on the M6 between junctions 16 and 15. I was doing some work for Stobart Chilled. It was dark and he was overtaking me. He flashed his lights and tooted his horn whilst he was overtaking me. I was about to give him the two finger salute when I saw ‘Stobart’ painted all over it…

Rumours abound around our way that Stobbie is after getting into quarry work now as well. Specifically a sand quarry.
Saw one on sunday when i was heading towards haydock truck show, then there was one at the show, but never seen one before
They run a 7.5t Atego horsebox. Saw it on the M40 the other week. They also run a beast of a Scania horsebox, looks quality. They are both used for the polo team.

Its an Iveco mate, don’t trust that guage. it’ll run forever until a quarter tank then the needle will drop like a shot.

Or just drop off all together
Talking about odd Stobbies motors I spotted one of the blue ones this morning.
They also have a 7.5t tipper in blue.
