A firm that you never see this far north .but yet one of the biggest haulage contractor in britain or maybe even europe.

Each truck is individually named. There are people who go Stobart spotting.
There are people who go base jumping. There are people who go swimming with sharks. There are people who collect belly button fluff.
I don't do those either.
And will pay a few pound for there models too .

arent most lorrys individually named as i know our local company D Steven and Sons each of their lorrys has a name
i remeber watching a programme a few years back about this firm and they make more money from there merchandise now than they do from there haulage business, and as you say they are a v large contractor.
There has been a few Stobart's up here over the years. Sorry to say I have never ran to grab the camera.
Like the pics icebox bet that wasn't taken up here!!!
i dont know if it is still the way but they wont or didnt use to employ female drivers
They can't get away with that now with current discrimination laws.
Lot's of very capable lady truckers around
Stobarts wagons are named by there drivers, you have to be with them for quite a while before you get your own wagon and most of the drivers name them after their wives or daughters.- useless but interesting info I know! but one of my relatives drive for them and had the pleasure of naming his own truck.
