Nope. I have found a picture of it online, but I was waiting to see if CG will do some work It’s a complete one off, a bit like the one the FH16 was pulling with the cancer writing on the side.

Here’s an Interesting one for you CG, will see how your spotting skills are. Last night on the M-Way I was passed by a Stobarts Scania and reefer, unfortuantely too dark to get a pic, the truck was PN11 ABO “Monica Trinity”, nothing over special but it was the trailer that caught my eye, the number was FST5371. Rather unique wrap on it.
Hello dew
Yes, I can help you on that. FST is a Fridge Single Compartment Trailer.
A FST Trailer consists of 5 compartments, which can all have a different temperature at the same time. This is so that things like your Ice Cream & Fish Cakes can be kept at a different temperature to your lettice and tomatoes, which save Tesco & Stobarts money. If the goods where transported in seperate trailers, Stobarts would have to send two lorries insted of 1! Very Enviromentaly Friendly (or putting another driver out of work some might say).
Stobart Chilled run around 200 of these trailers which are based at Crick, Newark & Daventry, with the odd one or two been kept at Carlisle.
I hope this helps dew and Well Done, an Excelent Spot!
Kindest regards

Hello dew
I’m sorry about that marra. Yes, it is a known one to me but I don’t see them that often. I uselly only see them if I am at Carlisle or on the M6.
Where did you spot it if you don’t mind me asking?
Kindest regards

M6 between Carlisle and Penrith heading southbound, we both tripped over an Egertons wrecker doing about 45, but speeding up every time the truck tried to pass (■■■■■■■■■!)
To put everyone out of their misery, this was the trailer…

I see dew, now that is an Exstreamly Special trailer. That trailer was done in partnership with the McCann family when their daughter sadly went missing in 2008 (I think that was the date).
There is only one in the Stobart fleet and I was told (on the grapevine) that Andrew Tinkler made a £3,000 donation to the Find Madeleine Trust when the trailer entered service.

Hello Legend Scania

Quick one for you Gill, had just got a cup of tea in one of the layby’s on the A66 as I was waiting for the tyre centre in Penrith to open, this pulled in behind me.
4x2 with Super Singles and chrome trims, pulling a reefer. Keeping busy while the rallyings not on?
