Eddie Stobart: The Ultimate Guide to the British Trucking Legends

By Martin Roach

From humble beginnings in a Cumbrian farmyard more than 40 years ago, the Eddie Stobart fleet has found a big parking place in the heart of the British people, loved as much for its 2,200 immaculate green and red trucks, each emblazoned with a girl's name on the front, as for its famous army of dedicated Stobart Spotters who try to find each one. Buckle up with the Stobart drivers, and join them on a week in the life of a massive delivery, from paperwork to pallet. Learn what it's like to be sat in the driver seat of a Stobart truck--the noises, visibility, clutch control, gears, steering--and discover the sheer size and power of these machines. Illustrated throughout with amazing photographs, and featuring firsthand stories of incredible journeys from the intrepid truckers, as well as astonishing facts and stats, the history of the fleet, and an exclusive cutaway illustration of a truck, offering superb, never-before-seen detail. This is truly an irresistible book for Stobart fans of all ages.
