All the Stobart drivers that I met have been helpful and nice geezers, I asked for help and got it, when I had just started driving artics, there was no real ■■■■-taking, but there was banter that was initiated by myself, I do like having a laugh, life is far too short to be serious.
Never had understood the anti feeling on here about stobarts, I have observed the threads and comments, but always veiwed them as being childish, unproffessional and a tad sad.
There are all kinds of individuals out there, driving for many companies, I often find that if you are cheerful, polite and like a bit of banter without being nasty, then others are reciprocal in a similar way…I even try to make light of it when drivers maon about everything, which many do, they are their own worst enemies if you ask me
If you dont like something, try and understand why, then you have the opportunity to change it, if you cant, just get on with it…Dont moan and whinge and make everybody elses life a bloody misery.
this is my take on it i hate the ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■ not the drivers but the company to ask a man to work for the min wage is a disgrace i was offered a full time job with them in Dublin hourly rate was 8.65 euro a kid working in McDs flipping burgers gets 11.50euro.
whats wrong with paying a decent wage? that you can live on why break your balls doing 60/70hrs a week to earn a decent living and anytime i see an advert by them looking for professional drivers it makes me laugh.

but a kid working in mcds works a sight harder than a driver, they cant crash out in there bunk for 4/5.6 hrs at a time ,they cant pull in a layby when they want,feet up,paper ,coffee.

i work for stobarts and enjoy it the money is decent enough for me £400 take home for 60 hrs
That’s not even £7.00 an hr they’re extracting the urine out of you
I’m not a driver and my take home is £360 for a 37 hour week!
good for you but let me explain hopefully for the last time £400 is take home not top line that is somewhere near £530+ god its hard work on here sometimes!!!1

I know what you mean, they can be hard work at times! My top line is about £490 a month. Which is not too bad for what we do.

There’s nothing to the jealousy rumours believe me; in fact i feel sorry for the poor [zb], being stupid enough to work for a firm where peope at the so called ‘upper level’ are as thick and ignorant as anyone you care to mention.
The fact that they don’t take part in fuel protests knowing that if small firms go backrupt they can move in like smarmy lowlife tossers and then pay the existing driver ■■■■ poor money has nothing to do with
How do i know this? used to work there before i put two brains cells together and left
I dont have a problem with Stobarts and infact Im probably one of those rare people who wouldnt mind working for them, Im not doing the job for money Im doing it because its something Ive always wanted to do since I was a lot younger…
If they had a depot anywhere near Basingstoke though…
you are a ■■■■ are you not i work for the love of the job , what a fanny
