Any Eddie Stobart Spotters here?

Recommended Posts

Having just started work again, after a year off! I am now driving Eddie Stobart lorries. The thing that has amazed me more than anything are the spotters. They lay in wait outside the depots and i had photos taken of my lorry while delivering in Manchester. They also wait in motorway services for them too.

So, will anyone own up to been an Eddie spotter then? :lol:

it's good to have a hobby but i can think of more productive ones :lol:

If we're on the m/way and on a long journey we sometimes say 'the first to spot an eddie stobart lorry doesn't have to make the tea when we get there' or that sort of thing but i think waiting in laybys and at depots is a little bit sad :?

my grandparents always shout out "eddie stobart!" whenever they see one, and ive joined in. We hardly see any in East Anglia, only when we go travelling around the country. I do always look at the lorry names/drivers to see if I recognise anyone off the tv programme!

My dad was a trucker too though he never drove for Stobarts. He loved the life and really missed it when he finally had to retire. This is one of my favourite photos from over 40 yrs ago - it's how I like to remember him. :)

Haven't they just! I can remember accompanying him during the school holidays on his runs down to the New Forest with my sister - we loved stopping at the greasy spoon cafes! His last few lorries were more like hotels on wheels but he did practically live in them when he was away for a week or more at a time driving on the continent. He kept them absolutely spick and span, inside and out, but he never seemed to work out how to clean the bath out at home! :lol:
