Trucking Hell

The Beast from the East descends, bringing some of the country's busiest roads to a standstill.

A heavy loader carrying cardboard bales tips onto its side. The quaint rural roads of Staffordshire are seemingly no match for former army boy Jim. On a Midlands mission, snow threatens to leave rescuer Mark stranded.

When a fully loaded double deck curtain-sided HGV rolls over on the A6, Fluff and his team need to create a second mess to solve the first. Jim is sent to recover a broken down truck from a council waste tip facility, but working among the rubbish is not particularly pleasant.

Marcus Charman and colleague Trigger patch up an HGV's fuel tank during evening rush hour. Tez resorts to using a blowtorch to fix a car transporter's snapped spring. And a broken down driver gives out the wrong location.

On one of the UK's busiest roads, a jackknifed HGV has careered through a front garden, over a ditch and blocked a lane of traffic. Meanwhile, Jim's mettle is tested and Steve has to quell a rebellion.

In a quiet rural village in Leicestershire, a utility truck has got stuck in the mud in a local resident's garden. Adam and his team are under pressure to get it out without causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to the property.

Near the junction to East Midlands airport, a trailer sheds its load and causes rush hour chaos. Adam dispatches a crack team of his finest recovery ops, but will they be able to resolve the situation?

A 20-tonne digger has been written off after it fell into the Thames. Rory is dispatched to rescue a Sprinter which is blocking a bus lane, and Jim has to work fast to get a stranded HGV driver to safety.

A seven car motorway pile-up leaves a local council's waste truck in trouble. Fluff does his best to shift one of the heaviest loads his vehicle can lift. Meanwhile, Fluff's girlfriend Marta is called to a stranded truck in a quarry.

A burnt out van abandoned on an isolated towpath presents a serious challenge for Steve and Marta, but the solution comes in the form of a bespoke, bright yellow rescue truck.
