Trucking all over the world.

Thursday, 10th April 2008

Logistical challenges in the WRC.

After the rally finishes the fun starts once again. Everything is loaded up and the 12 lorries are driven back down to the port in Jordan - where they sail to the Mediterranean island of Sardinia for the Rally d’Italia. The truck drivers fly back to the UK, prepare some more spare parts, then fly to Sardinia in time for the rally. Once the Italian round of the WRC finishes the trucks are then driven back to Cumbria to get unloaded and reloaded. Why?

“We are only back home after Sardinia for two days before everything sets off again for Greece and the Acropolis Rally,” explains McIntyre.

“It really is a tough job with long hours. However, I couldn’t drive a world rally car as fast as Matthew and I doubt he could handle my truck; but that’s what makes this job so special. We all have a place within the Stobart team and everyone pulls together to make it a success.”
