Another stuck Stobarts

Stobart drivers make me laugh in asda Chepstow rdc it is a bit tight but these lot make it so much more difficult I do chuckle and think I want to be like him when I grow up… :open_mouth: :laughing: :open_mouth: :laughing: :grimacing:

Kneal:
Just run over those bollards. They bounce back anyway.

Do they?

No.

I managed to reverse over 1 about 5yrs ago, must admit, it was a perfect reverse when every single wheel on the right side of the trailer and then the unit went over it.
Security had it on camera where I then climbed out of my cab and started ‘hugging it’ (their words) to stand it back up and put it back into roughly the right shape :blush:

Took them nearly 1/2 hour to get to me, 15 mins of that was picking themselves back up off the floor :laughing:

This^^^ I was delivering to maybe bridge and went for a stroll round tescos and one of these “drivers” was attempting this reverse, me and my mate stood watching when some tesco employee came running out telling us to go away :confused:

They’re drivers are howling! I have met some decent ones but they all seem to think they’re better and Asda/Tesco drivers

The secret to the plastic bollard is to push at then slowly with either a rear bumper or side guard. If you get it right they just pop the rivets holding them in and fall over still retaining a perfect shape. All you need to do is jump out and remove it before completing your manoeuvre damage free. If your feeling a little frisky you can then replace the bollard once you’ve finished and with a little push they will stay firmly in place.

I’ve lost count off the number of times I did it while running round London with a low loader. Mind it does help to have a fairly robust trailer. I wouldn’t recommend trying it with some of those flimsy Ali side guards you get these days.
