this is in the wrong forum but while its here do stobarts use O/D,s ?
No , i dont have any intention of donning a green shirt, just curious as i dont ever recall seeing anything but a stobart unit under their trailers

Not sure, what happened to their ‘owner’ driver scheme? Surprised one hasn’t appeared on the TV show yet being as its such a good deal… :laughing:

looks like the scheme is still on:

Rate cutting in haulage. I’d guess that’s gone on since the days of the horse and cart.
90 days payment is nothing unusual with big firms.

it might not be unusual but i wouldnt sleep if someone owed me 3 months worth of money

True and unless you was running on there fuel some hell of a lump to get going.

Kwaka on here used to subbie for them

i spoke to them a while ago about subbing, they told me that they were phasing out the subbies, and going fully own fleet

after hearing their payment terms, i was thankful :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

it was 90 days from month end :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

They’ve obviously got cash-flow problems then.

Harry, If I remember correctly, back In the early '90’s It also took them months to pay subbies. I think It’s the way they’ve always worked, but I could be wrong though…
