You called,no far more likely to stick one on you it like I’ve said many a time,7 yrs driving for them and never one word said to me out there
you all seem to get struck dumb out there ,best you can manage is too stare at your boots avoiding eye contact,doing a lot more chilled now,often avonmouth,Southampton on a evening,don’t be shy come over and introduce yourself,you’ll be worth a ban ,I won’t hold my breath though.
7 years and counting
You need help m8,you have serious issues,if people avoid eye contact with you isnt that tellin you summat

and no I don’t know because I don’t have a class 1 licence or have ever driven artics
Hiya …i’d try full left hand lock. that would flatten the road sign(easy) then i’d drop the trailer
this would mean i could back under at a different angle with the lock i wanted and shuv it backwards
you might have to have two goes but it would come out. before that i’d get that phone of the useless
B… taking photo,s that don’t help one bit. then know one on TN would ever no it happened.
can i say i spend my time maneuvering large bits of equipment around a refinery (with a banks man)
between pipes motors scaffolding and cranes. all this without any rear view as most loads overhang
the trailer.

Take the camera off the guy taking the pic. Wouldn’t cure the trailer woes but would stop someone posting the photo.
What if the guy taking the picture is an eight foot tall gorilla with facial peircings and a spider’s web tatoo?

If this ‘driver’ (I’ll use the term loosely) was working for someone else, would he have made the same [zb] up?I don’t understand, why is it just because it’s a Stobart lorry, the driver is automatically a ■■■■?
I’ve driven for Stobart (on agency) and I was the exact same person as when I’ve driven for the other 100 or so companies I’ve driven for.
The lorry is green on the outside, but from the drivers seat it’s exactly the same as every other truck.
At least someone on here is posting some sense and not just talking out of their backside!
+1 on both posts!!

Not necessarily. Maybe they apply too much pressure on a driver to get it done at all costs. If drivers are treated as just a commodity that are easy come easy go, some of them may feel pressure to make poor judgements which end up on the other side of a camera lens.
Other companies may not put this pressure on their drivers and actually understand when a driver says ‘I can’t gain access, you’ll have to bring it back on a smaller truck’
It’s also an economy of scale; the more drivers you have, the harder it is maintain standards. An outfit with only 10 trucks can choose and monitor it’s drivers easily. The more bums you need on seats, the less selective you can be.
Hiya…at least if the delivery point is down a track you can drive the bloody car down there
without taking the truck.i was in Birkenhead many years ago with 3 tractors from Basildon.
the docker said we’ve no ramp you’ll have to unload the best you can. i found a sort of ramp
chained the tractors together. as you know some kids were hanging around i said come you little
brats get on these tractors, i gave them 50 pence each and towed them to the docks.
took me 20 mins to walk back to the lorry.

In fairness to the drivers in these pics, I suspect we can all empathise with that awful sinking feeling you get when you realise it’s all gone horribly wrong and you’re going to have to make that call to the office.
Still quite funny though.
working too many hours without a proper rest between shifts,after 3 or 4 maxed out shifts you’ve got a zombie at the wheel.

It’s more common for a Stobarts to have a bump and stick it into the Prairie on windy hill than a driver for Wincanton or Montgomery. The majority of their full time drivers are smug [zb’s]
cause they drive a big green wagon and wear a silly purple hi-viz so they’re going to get abuse when their stunt driver team pulls these card tricks of driving.
