Episode 5 (5x5)

Uitzenddatum: Mei 31, 2013

Faced with the problem of delivering a 24 tonne replica plane for intended use as a fire simulator at their Southend Airport, the company calls in the experts from their Rail Division. Transporting such a huge load presents major difficulties and they need all their experience, resourcefulness and ingenuity to overcome them. Meanwhile, Liverpudlian driver Jimmy Callaghan is on a tough multi-drop mission around Manchester when his massive truck gets stuck in a packed car park, leading to an altercation with a concerned car driver. Elsewhere, trucker Ian O’Neill has two deliveries to make. Ordinarily this would be no problem, but the driving conditions are atrocious. Battling through the treacherous snowy weather, he is determined to complete his quest. For the staff of Stobart’s busy Crick depot in the Midlands, today is the end of an era as the firm are relocating to a brand newsite. Mark Dixon makes an emotional final run out of it, and some lucky members of the firm’s fan club get an access-all areas tour of Crick before the padlock is locked on the depot for the final time.
