I lasted 1 month in Stobarts, that was 3 weeks ago. Pushed to do 12-15hr shifts and told I have to take a reduced rest.Told you it was crap
You did, luckily I was able to find something close to home and better money.
I think the reason some drivers give Stobarts a bashing is because of the TV program and in a way I agree. It makes the Stobart drivers look like there job is so hard and so skillful when in reality it is just like any other drivers job.
I agree with you though UK tramp Stobbies drivers do seem to be a cut above some of the rest. Is it their training or are they selective about who they take on?
It is nice to see a Company take pride in their vehicles and their drivers though.
Colin what was wrong with the Management? I have heard they are very fair if you are fair with them.

I really thought you would be above all this,never mind hope you enjoy it ,good luck.
How do you mean bobbya, I have never worked for them before but I went along and it didnāt seem so bad, just wanting an easy number over winter

Well to be honest D_D I was impressed at the way they conducted the assessment and in all fairness as I am an experienced tramper driver I found it easy, but if a new pass or a sloppy driver did the assessment I can see that it would be more difficult than they probably expect it to be. Apparently agency staff do not have to undertake the assessment and the trainer told me that they have high standards for their own drivers, I had no reason to disbelieve him.

You have been fed some bs i spent a year and a half at stobarts and i left because of management.You have been fed some total bull and the stores are not as bad as you think.So is the job good in your opinion Collin, I would rather hear it from the horses mouth so as to speak rather than hear say.
The first week you will get no hassel after that your just another bum on a seat and thats all management want they dont care about drivers only there bonus and i would not recommend them to anybody.
