An action-packed episode of Trucking Heavy airs on 5Action on Thursday, 4 July 2024, at 9:00 p.m. In this instalment, we follow haulier Ian as he navigates a challenging cross-country journey through the picturesque Welsh countryside. Ian and his team, including a police escort and a support driver, tackle a massive load with a combined weight of around 100 tonnes. The rugged terrain and narrow rural roads put Ian’s skills and his truck to the ultimate test.
Ian encounters a series of obstacles along the way, including a stone bridge barely wider than his load and a tight turn that requires precise angles to navigate successfully. Will he be able to manoeuvre his massive cargo through these tricky passages?
Meanwhile, in Hull, mega mover Steve and his colleague Carl face their own set of challenges. They must transport a 38-tonne screener, a machine used for sorting construction waste. But as they prepare to roll out, Carl notices a potential disaster: the cargo is positioned too close to the neck of the trailer, which could compromise the entire shipment. They must use their problem-solving skills to adjust the load and ensure a safe journey.
To make matters worse, just as they start their trip, they discover that their exit route is blocked by roadworks. Will they be able to find an alternative path, or will this shipment be halted in its tracks?
