Eddie Stobart Trucks and Trailers, Channel 5

daleyboy:
Tut tut mo drinking while driving, using his on board computer to make a call while driving and going over his 15 hours. Yeah shows just how professional he is, well done top ■■■ sorry I mean top gun. Don’t make me laugh I bet he is the only one who calls himself top gun

How those truck washers take crap off him I’ll never know-I’d go for the mechanical truckwash if I had the choice. Oh and where do you get this “highly explosive diesel”? I’d love to put some through my CAT engine! :smiley:

I liked the way they said it was a 44 tonne trailer :laughing:

I’m sure the spotters would make a big creamy mess if they saw the Stobart Rail / Plant blue lowloader or tipper.

I’m sorry but 15hr days full of bs for £8 hr and a shiny truck ad uniform, I’ll stick with 10 a day and aan old ■■■■ heap ta.

The best bit though was about how everything had to be neat and perfect for Big Willy, and then he arrives with a Paul Weller haircut.

Top gun and the Day driver who was a ■■■■■■■■ tramper.

6 months to train a tanker driver :open_mouth:

They have everything at stobarts.

Yelling at that driver in the lorry park to move-Think I might’ve stayed another 10 minutes

He he, thought it was interesting & funny with all the wild innacuracies.

What with highly explosive diesel, 3000 miles in a week AFTER the London run & only a day & a half at home every week!
How does that fit with the WTD then?

Every driver apparently running on the last minute without a second to spare - the complete opposite of what our members here who have or do drive for them tell us.

I no longer watch telly at home (several years now) so I went next door specially to see this. Nearly slid of his leather sofa laughing I did.

Some of you guys come out with some funny comments in your above posts.

I too am looking forward to seeing the big creamy mess :open_mouth:

it was Eddie thay got done dor DD down Stratford way

According to the ‘Fact File’, the tanker could carry up to 6,600 gallons of diesel but at one point the geezer was delivering 8,000 litres. Did anyone notice the mid-lift axle raised on the tanker whilst it was loaded and then see it dropped as it passed through the gates of the Appleton depot?

I ■■■■■■ myself when the narrator did an Ice Road Trucker commentary… He’s driving a Volvo FH that costs £80,000, has a 13 litre engine and 460 brake horsepower… Throbber!

Anybody know where I can purchase some of those special work-boots from? I’ve been on the prowl for a pair for yonks but can’t find them anywhere.

You know, the ones that check tyre pressures with one kick of the tyre wall? :confused:

It was no bad telly.

oatcake1967 My sympathies ,everything in life has a price ticket . I spend time in LOS & know the other side of that famous smile.

This prog has done the industry a service. Stobs personnel are easily identifiable now & can easily be avoided. I think Mo fell into the movie makers trap & will be seen to be the big banana by the general public waving to all his fans.The voice over at the truck wash was getting the arse-ache with Top Gun. Funny thing is that all these Stob guys were watching this last night, I wonder what their take was of it?

He is typical of the kind of “I’ve seen it all done it all” old timers you get out there!

Then there was the tanker driver trainer guy Mark. Delivering fuel is a responsible job, but he took every chance he could - in a patronising way - to paint the job far harder than it actually is! Imagine being stuck in a cab with him day in day out for six months!

NO!!!

What a load of rubbish - exaggeration, inaccuracies, playing to the camera, etc. Is the company in such dire straits that they need to go on TV in the first place■■?

Come on channel 5, show some small companies who don’t have all the glitz but who work equally hard, if not harder.
