Eddie Stobbart: Trucks And Trailers
EDDIE Stobart drivers cover the equivalent of the distance to the Moon and back every day.
The firm employs more than 5,000 people who work around the clock to make a delivery every 4.6 seconds. As if that were not enough, it runs two ports, two airports and countless freight trains. Hazards inevitably crop up along the way and this week a runaway bull stops driver Ashley in his tracks.
Meanwhile, bosses plan to celebrate the firm’s 40th anniversary with a charity ball at London’s Battersea power station. A new top-of-the-range truck is due to take centre stage at the star-studded event but some quick thinking is called for when driver Matt crashes it en route to the venue.
