did I miss something… 
the biomass tramper left the Appleton depot at 4am and was going to spalding, according to the plonker who narrates its 143 miles away and he arrives at exactly 8.30am how did it take him four and half hrs to get there…

Don’t forget his 1 hour 30 min kip in the lay by 
OMG. Driver coming down the A1 from the north to go to Magor. Gets to the A1/M18 junction and the M18 south is closed so what does he do? Back up the A1 to the M62, along to the M1 and down the M1. 
WHY THE HELL DIDN’T HE JUST CONTINUE SOUTH ON THE A1 AND CUT ACROSS TO THE M1 ON THE A57?
So the moron added over 60 miles and an hour to the journey for what? No wonder Stobarts are struggling with genius drivers like that muppet.
the stobart driver going from teeside to south wales,coming down the A1 but the M18 south is shut,so what does he do ■■? carry on down the A1 then A57 to get to the M1 ■■? NO ! He goes all the way back up the A1,along the M62 then down the M1 
, what a complete knob!
I bet stobarts arnt happy about all the extra diesel he’s used! 
You couldn’t make this stuff up… we now know that this stuff isn’t made up in waiting rooms,there are really drivers that are just THICK ! 
Now correct me if im wrong but the last time i checked, sheerness is in kent. So can someone please give the prat that narrates this program a geography lesson. Because according to him, sheerness is in essex!.

It was in Kent last month when I went
Geographically yes, but culturally?

either that or he followed that other muppet back up the M1 because the M18 was shut…

I think you may have a point there.
When I was an egg, I tipped two huge machines at King Georges Dock. I got sent over the bridge to Immingham and spent the rest of the day waiting to reload copper.
Once I reloaded, I thought I had done really well to get back over the bridge and find a lay by to park up on the A62… ON THE WAY BACK TO PRESTON…!
At least I didn’t have a SatNav and a TV crew to blame or play up to and I got my bridge money back… Hehehe
Roll on trucks n’ trailer’s, alienating Stobart drivers since 2008…

And going to Croydon he says “luckily the M25 has lanes just for trucks” (or something similar) and then they show the truck & bus lane on the A23 near Coulsdon!
I hate this programme, only watch it in the adverts in Corrie! Honest!! It makes truck drivers look bloody stupid. “he’s got got to get to Richmond from the dreaded North Circular Road, and he’s got less than 2 hours”. It’s ridiculous, they try to make drama out of absolutely nothing. The episode tonight was laughable, especially when the Bio-tramper was climbing Windy Hill and hit the freezing fog. A “nightmare” apparently, and a difficult hazard to all but the most experienced driver.
A bigger hazard is the Stobart idiot driving in the 2nd lane rather than the inside whilst climbing an incline in the dark on an obviously empty carriageway. Too fast for the inside lane driver?
maybe when he phoned in they told him to do it
but no truckers atlas not clever

The best thing to come from this program has to be these 2 videos…youtube.com/watch?v=iyDZTB1tyPw (Old one)

They were funny indeed thanks.
Funnily enough I did the cream cake run Fiona was on about just the other day, and she does actually make a fair point, just doesn’t explain it I suppose.
The company which supplies the cream cakes (which I shall not name) is not so good at packing the pallets these days, and often the load on the pallet doesn’t reach the sides of the pallet properly, worst still they even sometimes leave a gap between the pallets rather than bunching them up properly. That of course means that the load is not leaning directly against the pallet in front, even driven very sensibly you end up with pallets half fallen over that need either rejecting or re-stacking, just to add a cherry on top of the cake sometimes those muppets put the least load bearing products sequentially across the bottom layer so it provides absolutely near zero structural rigidity. (rather than alternatively to add strength I mean)
Here is some good examples of the same run I did a few weeks back with all the above problems !!! not one harsh brake en-route. Look at the gap between the pallets ffs, insane.
If you’d taken load security seriously and thrown some straps over that shouldn’t have happened
Maybe they should get Mark Dixon drunk, he looks more fun then
As your not allowed into the trailer when it is being loaded how can you?? Do you carry 26 straps around in your fridge box btw ?
Shoddy loading, don’t even try and be smart and blame the driver.
Yes I do and I always wind up trailer legs fully Mr VOSAs not going to get the better of me.
A good thick 5 ton strap over those tightened fully and they’re going nowhere.
LMAO, I would love to see your creamy mess as you tighten your straps over the the boxes of cream cakes and trifles 
I’m too ■■■■ for my truck haha quality !

Wrong operating procedures! If the driver can not be present to restrain a load before taking it out on a public highway, then changes obviously need to be made!
Maybe operator using a wrong trailer perhaps, who is telling the driver they can’t go on the trailer whilst its being loaded?
Why don’t drivers stand up for themselves?
Just because someone tells you to do it their way,doesn’t mean it’s right!!!
