I’m sure I wouldn’t last 5 minutes if I went back driving over there. What with dcpc, dft,rtitb, f.a.r.t, b.u.m, a.r.s.e, and all the jobsworths with w.h.&s, I’d end up on a bleeding murder charge. Lorry drivers haven’t always been treated like idiotic scum of the earth and I couldn’t handle that.I agree totally with what you wrote, the big problem is that these days there are a lot of total idiots behind the wheels of trucks, it’s becoming the day of the ‘steering wheel attendant’. Companies like Stobarts are happy to recruit young guys with new licences and train them how to do the job the Stobart way, old guys like me wouldn’t be too welcome as we’ve been doing the job too long and have our own idea’s.
They don’t just train their drivers, they indoctrinate them into believing that their way is the only way and the weaker minded drivers actually end up believing that they’ll be risking their lives if they go to work without their hi-viz & hard hat, real life saving equipment!!!

Have you actually seen any stobart drivers? Most look fit to drop. Seen younger folk in an old folks home. But what do I know? That’s it ■■■■ all compared to you. But just offering you my opinion.
