What numpty drives off after doing so called ‘checks’, which i presume would of involved her checking or at least observing a tail lift on the arse end of a trailer without a lead to power said tail lift on said arse end of said trailer??One who hasn’t used one before and never been told you need a separate cable to power it. It was obvious to me but thats because I am an ex mechanic and electrical engineer and would have though, where the hell does it get its power from.
Give the drive a break FFS, have you never had to seek advice on how something on a truck works or is operated? even something as simple as switching on the lights is only simple if you know where the bloody switch is.

Fiona’s fella??
But asking advice when its too late…use ya noggin!

Surely you don’t mean Lisa. She gets uglier every time i see her!!!
Yea, Maya is in a different league… youtube.com/watch?v=rj9uOyb5JZ8
Sorry but when she walked around the trailer on her daily checks she must have thought to herself - “ooh there’s a tail lift I’ve never used one best I walk back into office and be shown how to go on” Then again thats the common sense approach something which she showed last night that she is sadly lacking!!!

Very nice, I’d let Maya sweep out my tipper trailer body any day…
Fiona, yes I would 
Anyone see the shot where shes in the trailer, the cameramans on the ground - PHWOAR
To be fair to Fiona, she did say that at the depot she usually works at, the load is palletised. I guess she has maybe not had her licence that long, and was only used to open backed trailers. You would of thought someone would of told her about the tailift connection. Anyway who put “Fiona I love you” on the trailer? It was all set up. Anyway Fiona if you are reading this thread, i support you.

Fixed that for you
Hope this helps
Question is was the lead actually on the trailer?
The lad who came to help her walked to the back of the trailer dropped the power lead and showed her how to do it.
He then said see you later picked the power lead up and walked off.
So did he just happen to have two spare leads?
Liked he bit about the woman crossing the road.
Litle miss road safety was reading her delivery instructions on the steering wheel.
Hello pot this is kettle over.
Nice to see that after sinking his money into trailers and dying penniless the firm Eddie helped to get where it is now buys trailers from China.
Didn’t ESL petition the goverment in an effort to stop hauliers running empty on the roads?
The lead was in the side locker, Fiona probably knows how to work a tail lift but it just had to be hyped for the cameras. Anyway I’d still bang her so chin up Fiona lol.

It wasn’t trailers, they were ISO containers, everyone in the shipping business buys them from the far east and they normally come over loaded with something.

Fiona?! What a babe! In the wrong job of course the silly cow.
babe was a pig not a cow
I was chatting to a Stobart driver on Friday morning at the food van on Wakefield 41 Bus.Park, and he reckoned that a Chipliner Driver and a BioMass Driver had a little “chat” with Mark Dixon round the back of some trailers, as they reckoned he was a gobby ■■■■ who made the company look like fools…

what the??
And an anagram of ‘NEWARK’ is…
Part of the stobart check sheet is “oil level, water, 2 number plates, Anderson lead (might be called an auxilery power lead or something)”
But, everywhere I’ve worked has said “test things before leaving, fridge, tail lift etc”, no use driving 400 miles to find the tail lift is broken and in the way of the door (on some trailer) so you can’t even handball the goods out.
I’ve not seen this episode yet, but if it was an underslung tail lift and she ‘forgot’ her lead, I’d have made her handball the lot all day.
Never quite understood why an anderson lead has to be disconnected at both ends, why not just have it retractable or a stowage place on the trailer for it?

I leave mine connected to the tractor at all times with about 10 cable ties holding it down to stop others from pinching it. Which is ok as i keep the same truck every day.

That’s exactly what I thought, wouldn’t be hard to have them connected to the trailer all the time and on a winder to go to the truck. Could make it a decent length then as well

Did they cone off the bays around the back of the trailers for them?

Dont think its Mark Dixon that makes them look like fools. Did Mark make them look like fools by making Fiona go out without Anderson Leads? Or taking out a trailer that was too high for the Tesco shop? The list could go on. Its Stobart who make themselves look like fools by allowing it to be shown on TV IMO.
