Trucking Hell: Greatest Rescues returns this Thursday with a focus on the added challenges posed by wild weather. When heavy machinery meets treacherous conditions, the stakes are even higher, and the rescues become even more dramatic. This episode revisits some of the most challenging recoveries, where wind, rain, and mud turned routine call-outs into nail-biting operations.

Alpha Recovery faces a particularly tricky task: retrieving a fuel tanker that has slid down a steep, muddy hillside. One wrong move could spell disaster, not just for the recovery team, but for the surrounding environment. Meanwhile, Steve tackles a cement truck that has veered off the road and landed precariously in a farmer’s field. Extracting the heavy vehicle without causing further damage requires precision, skill, and a healthy dose of courage.
