Well sorry you took offence Greg but…
i wonder.
be no harm for the big companies to suffer a little.
i know a lot of people wont agree with me because of jobs etc.
these big companies have put a lot of owner drivers down and i am from a family of owner drivers.#if stobart went next.
look at the opportunities there would be for owner driverswith the extra work,
…you’re living in cloud cuckoo land with a statement like that.

There is only one way this is going to end in the current financial climate as no bank is going to support ongoing losses of this magnitude I suspect.
When you read that report, does it not suggest that some heads have to roll?
Who advised them Innovate was a good buy? Did anyone?

no offence taken andy.
i am not in cloud cuckoo land at all.
i know it wont happen.
i would not be upset if it happened.
i am suprised at whatever is happening with innovate,not sad though.
this will not happen to stobart and a lot more like them as they generally are well endowed money wise.
i dont know where it went with innovate.
the reason i think this way is.
i would rather see a lot of owner drivers getting proper reward[if its possible]than see the like of stobart and shareholders making at their expense/
the more top brass there is taking out of the kitty,the less their is for owner drivers or employed drivers for that matter.
i know it wont happen, its just a dream i had.
dont hold too much faith in the big company idea, i.ve been wearing green for the last 8 years, and as mentioned in my earlier post,(a tip too far)
what happens when things get tight is,
the small firm- you are told face to face how it is.
the big firm.- memos come out about cost cutting, planners tell you what to do
and how long it will take,
my remedy was after rdc,s and cash & carrys, etc, then being told where to stop and sleep. was to jump ship.
i took a job collecting blood from slaughter houses and running it around uk,
and believe it or not the moneys better and i am treated better than i was,
i dont have a brand new wagon any more, but its about the money and the
job satisfaction isnt it, not the cab.
i dont miss my b,new topliner, replaced with a 51, ex maritime 420 scanny
honest?
