Uitzenddatum: Nov 29, 2013

This time, car transporter tramper (a slang term for a driver who sleeps in his cab) Gareth Ayres embarks on a mammoth 500-milemulti-drop trip across Scotland carrying a precious load of luxury 4x4s. Hit by delays on the notorious A9, Gareth is up against the clock to make his deliveries on time. Stobart CEO Andrew Tinkler’s son Adam joins the trucking team. Having completed his training, he takes the wheel of a fully-loaded 44-tonne log wagon. Mentored by veteran Peter Grant, Adam must learn fast as he negotiates a ten-mile mud track with steep drops on either side in a remote forest. Ashley Maddocks has a new truck, but is having problems delivering a load of fizzy drinks to Livingston in Scotland. On the unpredictable A66 trunk road, he meets every trucker’s nemesis – fog. As Southend Airport continues to expand, the company has invested in some brand new kit. The two newest vehicles on the fleet, called Aqua and Loo Loo, cater for the water and waste requirements of the growing airport. PR consultant Tracy and marketing co-ordinator Rebecca wants to get these two new models on therunway for a press photo shoot.
