I've tried to see if there's any relevant threads but they're all locked, and a fair few years old so I'll ask here.

Does Eddie Stobart still use their wagon and drawbar vehicles, not seen any for a bit so was wondering if they've shelved them for the more conventional artic?.

I haven't seen any recently but a quick search on Flickr gave results of some new-ish '69 plate examples:

I passed a Stobart wagon and drag in Edinburgh just before being furloughed from work, so they were definitely still in use a couple of months ago.

Money.


They spend a bit of money on the vinyl livery to make them look nice, but the majority of the trucks in their fleet are poverty spec.

I'm surprised they haven't switched away from Scania and Volvo to cheaper truck brands.
