are we all ready to watch how proper drivers do it ■■? 
Can we ban this sort of talk please!! I work there and I’m 100% better than those gimps but channel 5 is a over the top of tv producers!!
I feel sorry for some Stobart drivers seeing the amount of stick they get on here.Most are just doing their jobs like the rest of us.
The problem seems to be because of the TV program some take offence at all their drivers.Maybe they are jealous because they would like be on TV but whatever the reason it is all very petty.
The program itself is typical of these types which make the job look something it is not.It is really embarrassing at how dramatic they try to make some things look.I have only watched it very briefly and decided best not to bother.
Still no need to take the mick out of Stobart drivers.Like everything else their will be good and bad ones and the ones that think it is great to be on TV.Maybe one day when they look back they might realise how silly a lot of it is.
I’m trying to watch it as I write this… I have to admit that J2O advert with the dogs and cats at a party is brilliant.
It seems that ■■■■■■■■ Gill has a little competition on the spotting front…
Otherwise, I can breathe a deep sigh of relief that after twenty years in Haulage I have had nothing more to do with ESL than occasionally see them on TV or read about them on TNUK.
Thank God for small mercies…

just watched 10 mins of it and saw two apparent professional drivers acting like kids in roadworks showing all proper drivers up it gives me the shi#s 
Ha, I haven’t watched it since my mate made an appearance back in the first series. He drives on the biomass division. He also refused to make any further appearances as it is ALL scripted.
I still smirk at the narrator from last series saying “After struggling to find this place, [driver] now has to face every truck drivers worst nightmare”
The ‘nightmare’ was a simple 90 degree blind side reverse in a rigid…

Cracks me up when narrator says drivers got inches either side off his truck one wrong move could be disastrous… Camera pans out there’s about 3 ■■■■■ feet lol.

I think personally they should go for some driver training
The biomass tools really ■■■■ me off. As for the company that endorses the program that decides to show these roasters “racing” on the Wrexham bypass…clowns. Pure clowns.
Why do Stobart spotters look like the extras from Fraggle Rock?

Haha class! There definitely a special type of breed!!
You wouldnt catch me praising the programme or the company but to put it in perspective, my friends son races motorbikes and was quite successful at a young age, they were invited to make a TV programme which was shown on terrestrial TV and has been on Men and Motors ever since.
They did 49 hours filming and interviews. The TV programme lasted 28 minutes with a break for adverts

I parked at the fleece a while back there was one in his car stobarts stickers on the windows and a stobarts fleece on. Sitting in the dark like a proper weirdo lol was a Friday night as well! ■■■■■■■ weirdos
I find it quite entertaining [lol] … the public all think we are like some of these clowns , we all know someone who drives as they do …
I saw them filming in Port ofSunderland the other week , thankfully I was on board a ship I was delivering to , so I wasn’t in a shot … but they did drive up n down the same bit of road a bit
I love it when Mark DIxon sticks his head out of the truck and his tooth glistens in the sun as though he is some sort of gangster rapper I dont mind the chubby fella on biomas to be honest,or the scouse fella with a mouth like a pan of burned chips. But i watched the first episode last week and i knew stright away that he wouldn’t do 7 drops around London in a shift setting off from South Wales! especially when one of the B+QS was New Molden our drivers call it Colditz as when you get down that service road there is no turning back and you can’t get out as you drive in one way,go under the building and drive out the other end, 6 hours+ can be the averadge there and thats if you can find your way in as there are no signs telling you where goods in is! 
I saw my first real stobart spotter the other day 
Was in my local orange shop (no not green grocers) was being tended too ,out of the corner of my eye noticed a dweeb/ nerd/ geek type character and guess what it was wearing 
Yes a stobart jacket Or was it an anorak 
I see cronospan obviously didn’t want them filming on last nights episode / borefest
Cheers Mike

credit where its due. He found London and made it there. Keeping it in 1 lane on the M4 can be tricky with only a couple of dozen inches each side. He narrowly avoided disaster by not going over the line, across the hard shoulder and through the barrier and down the embankment. Phew!
