I’ve been pounding the motorway for nearly 4 years. Today is the first time I saw a Stobbies fuel tanker, all decked out in Stobbies colours. It was a fairly new 59 plate, is this another string to the Stobart empire?

Yup they have 2, both are brand new 59 plate MAN TGX low cabs 
Is this part of the empire? 
Stobart also ran tankers out of Bridgewater for Gerber Juices

Would that not be for the Rail Freight Containers see: stobartgroup.co.uk/Services/ … sportation
The plan is to supply all our depots which have fuel facilities, internal interviews are being held at the moment.
another job stobarts will ■■■■ up ncut the rates to the bone

Stobarts used to have a small amount of lorrys and skellys devoted to hauling containers between Felixstowe and Crick, maybe six or more every day.
They used to have a couple of tippers IIRC running from South Wales, seen them on M50 a while ago
Think they had side doors as well (could be wrong on that though) 
Also had tippers loading scrap tin at the can place at Botcherby.

I already knew about the tippers, I used to work for the security company that covered botch and james st.

You sometimes, but rarley I think, see Stobart liveried units in at what used to be O’Connors at Widnes.

It probably is not as rare as you imagine since Stobart bought O Connor about 3 years ago
Wheel Nut:
Is this part of the empire?
I think that this is a relation to Eddie, but I dunno how (brother?)
I’ve been educated that Stobbies are hauling fuel for Tesco filling stations, dunno how accurate this is?

Well it’s another ■■■■■■■■ Stobart firm, so they’re bound to be related in some way.

they were brothers, the other brother runs an animal feed company
Found this photo.
Overtook one on way back in this evening on M62, nice looking tanker !
As mentioned earlier, they are only to supply there own depot’s with fuel, but it could get a few tanker firms getting a bit twitchy and looking over their shoulders.
