What about Irish drivers carrying hanging lambs with 20t of sheet steel on the floor of the fridge? Haven’t heard that one in ages.
Thats no joke 
I know of a few guys who ran down from Holyhead off the ferries with hanging beef and steel or other freight on the floor but that was in the 80’s.

Was that before or after you showed your driving tester the error of his ways, resulting in him admitting you were actually right and giving you a pass certificate?
Mooooooo!

There was actually a truck driver caught doing this on one of the Traffic Cop shows a few year ago, I think it may have been that Angus Nairn(the ex trucker now traffic cop) who pulled the fella. Opens the back doors of the trailer to find hanging beef and about 14 tonne of steel plate on the deck.
Still not convinced, how did he secure the plate it must have damaged the insulated walls, or am I reading too much into it 
, and was it the same driver that was seen next day by a bus load of nuns/kids/old women (just pick one 
) while having a crap in his tipper 
Both of these tales have been going around since the 80s, maybe even before.
One got me a cup of Coffee at the RDC onces I was backing in he said want a coffee I’ll get you one 
there all not ■■■■■■■■
Is the person started this jealous as the lady’s love the stobart drivers and not him ?

Well all I’m going by is that this was on actual tv on one of those traffic/motorway cop shows a good few year ago so unless the BBC staged it? If I remember they followed this Irish truck for a few mile and he was really crawling up hills what a truck would normally get up no problem they pulled him over into a lay by and found the steel plate on the trailer bed with a sheet over it and a full load of hanging meat, ■■■■ knows how they load it on or take it off like?
I was in the steelworks at Dundydaff in Coatbridge and an Irish lad reverses in the next bay and comes over and says are the bundles all 20ft so I says aye 5 bundles on the front 5 on the rear just nice. Ahh says he I will need to double them up on the back I have a container with 15 ton in it to collect after six o-clock at the container terminal. Eddie.

FTFY
I don’t get picky over things like that but that one needed correcting…
Ah yes Ireland, a well known exporter of steel in sheet or any other form. I can just see the driver turning up at a steelworks with a fridge full of hanging and asking them to load him. Think about that, a fridge. Even better, turning up at a meat plant and asking them to be careful not to trip over the steel whilst they’re loading the carcasses.
If it’s been on a Police show, there must be an archive of it somewhere, so let’s see it. I imagine it’s on the same one as when (insert Irish haulier here) flashes past the Police car in the 143 and the cop just shrugs and says “there goes Paddy, late for the boat”
Still, at least he wouldn’t have been heading for the Herald.

Must have been an illusion I was watching then on the BBC
Given the state the BBC has been in for some years, I’d say that’s entirely possible.

The stobart drivers I’ve met have been really decent people, asked one for directions once and he drew me a map!
