any eddie stobart ''spotters'' out there?
i learnt today that apparently each unit has it's own girls name.... but apparently theres one that is called valentino? any particular reason? just curious :)

after seeing the programme on tv it was a one off just to see if it could take off

Only about 70% of the Stobart are liveried and therefore named. There are 4 non-liveried (not Stobarts anyway) trucks that run for a racing team based near TB. There are about a dozen of the named units that don't have girls names, usually the special vehicles (fuel tankers, polo rigid etc.). :y

They also have plain white units with a blue Stobart sticker on the door that are un named & amalgamated to Tesco. DHL do this as well. Here in Immingham we have a retired ex driver called George who has on old VW LT Campervan painted up in the early plain pre transfer green & white Stobart livery who sits with his wife on the A180 & waves, flashes to every truck going into or off the docks.
When i retire....i'll buy the van from him??? Sod that! ::)

there is now a eddie truck done in blue livery looks quite good.

That's running the Knauf contract to and from Gent in Belgium. Another big trucking company swallowed by the Stobart empire along with Irlams just north of Stoke.
