Inexperienced recovery operative Euan has been assigned the task of saving a ten-ton rigid in Hertforshire. The narrow country road it was travelling on collapsed under its enormous weight, trapping its rear nearside wheel in muddy water. Before the truck sinks any further, Euan must find a way to stabilise it because it is leaning dangerously. There’s hardly any room to move around, and the situation is only made more precarious by the rapidly accumulating traffic jam. To save the day, Euan plans to lift the rigid’s rear end and hoist it towards the road, but a single misstep could have catastrophic consequences.

They’re in a pinch to get the road cleared, but Kev and Ian can’t seem to get the tractor unit unstuck from the muddy embankment.
