As some of you know i drive for eddie stobart :roll:. As the biggest haulge firm in the uk. the crunch has hit us as of 5 jan we are going on to 4 day weeks as there is not enough work to keep the 2500 wagons on the road. So with that in mind and the fact that both shmbo and the daughter both work for woolies me in for a good xmass.

Really sorry to hear that mate. My driving school has just dried up completely too, I'm at college now so it's not a big problem but if I were relying on the business I'd have to sell the car.
Sit tight folks, it's not over yet. For those without mortgage protection, get some bought SOON.
Chin up Tomo, I'm sure they'll try as hard as they can to protect their employees.

yea was talking to one of the managers the other day about it and they worked it out that either we all went 4 on 4 off or they would be laying off a few hundred drivers So at least they are doing something to keep us in a job
