Trucking Hell returns this Thursday, and the recovery crews are facing down some seriously stuck situations. Airing at 9:00 PM GMT on 5Action, Episode 4 of the ninth season splits its focus between the Scottish Borders and Buckinghamshire, where mud, mayhem, and massive machines are the order of the day.
First up, Alpha team’s Gary, Simon, and Mouse tackle a lorry that’s been literally blown off the road. The recovery is a beast of a job, complicated by steep, slippery embankments and a whole lot of mud. Meanwhile, in Buckinghamshire, Lantern op Sean faces his own challenge: a 12-ton transporter—complete with a BMW stuck fast in the muck—needs rescuing from a ditch.
The series, which follows the men and women who handle super-sized transport jobs, has a knack for finding moments of high drama in the everyday grind of heavy recovery work. This week’s episode is no different, highlighting the ingenuity, muscle, and sheer determination it takes to wrangle multi-ton vehicles back onto solid ground.
“Trucking Hell” airs Thursday, 5 June at 9:00 PM GMT on 5Action.
