I have driven for 36 years myself and wherever you came across Eddie Stobart trucks in Europe, they always looked neat and clean, just as a driver should take good care of his truck. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I remember watching a programme how this company got to where it did. At the end of the programme it show Edward sitting down to eat his evening meal at a large dining table, all by himself as all the hard and long hours building up the company. Had taken its toll on his marriage, what a shame for them all
The part when he's being interviewed where it says it was in 1986. It can't have been as the truck behind him is a 4 series Scania that was introduced til 1995 lol 😂
Stobart really cared about image but didn't care too much about safety. Pushing commercial drivers to the limit every day GETS OTHER ROAD USERS KILLED.
Best company to work for if want to rinse out the hours and get paid for doing nothing, and if you drive a diesel you can rip the anti Siphon out of the tank and help yourself to the fuel and nothing will be done about it.
Wanker scumbag called other hgv drivers TRAMPS on national radio a few years ago & I've hated them since then. Bad job reviews & I would love to see them shut down. If I knew where stobart was buried I would piss on his grave.
Not exactly nothing. A thriving family business with 8 trucks is still a helluva better leg up than most of us get. And I've yet to meet a "successful" businessman who was a great bloke. Maybe Mr Stobart was an exception, I don't know, I never met the bloke. But most folk in his position are ruthless bastards. You kind of have to be. It goes with the territory.
Eddie stobart fucked the haulage business he should never of been allowed to to do that with his under cutting put a lot of small business out of work with his selfish greedy ways fuck them i hope they go bust tomorrow
Funny how the legend overwrites the facts. Nobody remembers how he put many owner operators out of business by bidding for contracts that were not tenable and when the competition was gone he put his prices up again.
Exactly, Eddie's firm did that trick in Barrow-in-Furness from personal experience and almost ran the local haulage firms into the ground after he'd had his way there. My source for that is a projects manager on their books (back then) who was disgusted with the tactic.
