Episode 2 (5x2)

Uitzenddatum: Mei 10, 2013

In Stobart’s very own ‘War of the Roses’ there is a Battle of the Biomass, as Lancashire man Tim Fox takes on Yorkshire’s Craig Garside in a race to deliver a shared load to North Wales. With 200 miles of tarmac standing between the truckers and their destination, who will be the first to deliver his sawdust, and will it be on time? In a classic battle of experience versus youth, with a few dirty tricks thrown in, it remains to be seen whether Tim will outfox the young pretender to his Biomass crown. Meanwhile, Mark Dixon takes on Mother Nature as he attempts to stay ahead of the snow. He is looking for a working farm, but with weather conditions against him and roads marked ‘Unsuitable for HGVs’, will Mark’s trucking know-how get him to his destination safe and sound? Day driver and culture vulture Matt Ekins has been tasked with the special mission of taking a Stobart Truck to an art gallery in Central London, where an exhibition of Stobart truck spotters’ photographs is taking place. However, workaholic Matt has a delivery to make en route and then gets snarled up in London traffic. Faced with the prospect of letting down his fans, the trucker’s fighting spirit comes to the fore. In Cambridgeshire, Welsh wizard Ashley Maddocks has to pray that the heavens are smiling on him as he delivers a state-of-the art trailer-cum-classroom to a secondary school.
