Eddie Stobart
Eddie Stobart is one of the UK's most recognized road hauliers. Their red and green fleet of over 3000 trucks travel the length of breadth of the UK and Europe delivery goods each day.
This gallery covers images of their famous fleet from various travels around the UK.
Having their own TV series on Channel 5 has lifted the company profile even further with the British public. With all the Stobart trucks named after girls, the interest in their fleet is more than any other trucking company on the road, and certainly provides a great way to keep children quiet on long journeys! (although the less said about the adults the better). Stobart even have their own 'APP' to allow users to track and 'spot' their trucks on the move, with some people now turning 'Stobart Spotting' into more a sport than a pass time!
The company even offer the chance to become a member of the 'Stobart Fan Club' which entitles you to name your own truck, have depot visits, receive a quarterly magazine and receive a bi annual fleet list. Annual 'Stobart Fest' events are also attended by thousands of people each year, all wanting to see their favorite drivers from the TV series. Whatever the opinions on the haulier Stobart....they have a huge brand name which continues to build year on year into a true multi-modal company.

Rugby Truck Stop:
Rugby Truck Stop located on the A5 is a fanstastic place to view the major operations of the Stobart Fleet, not to mention the great food which is served at the truck stop. Photographers are welcome at this site providing you stay within the fenced areas. The flow of trucks for refueling, trailers swaps, and new loads is astounding, and shows the true multi-modal logistics into which Stobart are now engaged. Our visit coincided with low winder light which provided a hindrance for some of the period which we visited.

Cory Way, Westbury (Wiltshire Industrial Estate)
The entire Williams Formula 1 Stobart Fleet were gathered on the Wiltshire Industrial Estate (Westbury) on the 27th June 2014, prior to the British Grand Prix (which was due to take place one week later). The lorries gathered to load equipment and collect new purpose built trailers from Spectra. Word soon got out that fourteen European F1 trucks operated by Stobart for Williams F1, were located in this quiet Industrial Estate in Wiltshire. My arrival at this location coincided with a large storm (the same storm which halted the 2014 Glastonbury Festival). Once the rain had eased there was the chance to capture some very speical images of the Stobart Trucks. Recorded at the location were the following: Keave - GN14WLV - H3336 Alyssa Faith - GN14WLF - H3337 Helen Anna - GN14WLG - H3338 Jean Marie - GN14WLJ - H3339 Connie Anya Sienna - GN14WLH - H3340 Tori - GN14WLL - H3341 Barbera Irene - GN14WLK - H3342 Lesley Ann - GN14WLO - H3343 Wendy Helena - GN14WLE - H3344 Eve Ella - GN14WLP - H3345 Imogen Natascha - GN14WLB - H3346 Lola Ella - GN14WLZ - H3347 Lily Lola - GN14WLD - H3348 Sherrie Dee - GN14WLW - H3349 |
