Eddie Stobart: Trucks & Trailers is a documentary television programme series exploring the world of the Eddie Stobart haulage company. The first broadcast of each episode is on Channel 5 on Friday evenings at 8 pm.
About the show Eddie Stobart: Trucks & Trailers features some of the day-to-day activities of the Stobart Group, a British logistics company, with a particular focus on its Eddie Stobart road haulage division.
This observational documentary series explores the daily operations of the British logistics and transport company Eddie Stobart Logistics, highlighting its road haulage, rail freight, and air divisions. Produced by Princess Productions for Channel 5, the episodes follow individual transport drivers tasked with delivering cargo under specific time constraints across the United Kingdom and Europe. Featured assignments include transporting specialized freight, such as turf for Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and components for landmarks like the Piccadilly lights. Media commentary has occasionally characterized the production style as 'sensationalist' due to its dramatic narration techniques and structural editing choices. Additionally, the program documents the recruitment and training processes within the firm, tracking twenty candidates who are competing for placement in the company's driver apprenticeship program.
The first four series saw the programme reach the top 10 of watched programmes for Channel 5, with the final two episodes of Series 2 taking first and second places for the week ending 3 July 2011.
A seventh series titled Eddie Stobart's Excellent Adventures shows a selection of memorable journeys from the previous series.
