This book is the story of Edward Stobart, whose father used to hire himself and his horse and cart to Cumberland Council for 27 shillings and sixpence a day, and is now probably the best know haulier in the world. A working class lad who suffered with a speech impediment and a less than average school record decided he loved the haulage business and with his combination of vision, risk taking and hard work made himself into a successful businessman. I found this biography, of such a decent, honest man, an inspiring read.
