Why Eddie Stobart?

Eddie Stobart is the UK’s largest independent logistics company with a turnover of £140 million, a fleet of 800 trucks and 27 depots.

Training Course at Eddie Stobart Driver Training School During its 35 years of existence, Eddie Stobart has steadily increased its market share and developed internationally.

Within the UK haulage industry, 80% of companies have less than 20 vehicles so there are a relatively small number of large operators. The current trend in the industry is toward consolidation and rationalisation.

Over the last few years the industry has faced challenges like never before for example the introduction of the working time directive, rising fuel costs, competition from overseas and a national shortage of skilled drivers.

The intense competition, low margin and high level of investment required are typical characteristics of the haulage market. Delivery lead times especially to the national retailers have reduced to twelve hours which has forced a high level of specialist equipment and systems.
