The ninth season of Trucking Hell continues with another slate of roadside recoveries that are anything but routine. This week’s episode, airing on 5Action, presents two distinct and difficult jobs that push the teams to their limits, proving once again that their work is a messy, high-stakes business.
In London, Sean and Daniel are called to a busy route blocked by a lorry filled with spoiled potatoes. The recovery itself is a challenge, but the rapidly decaying cargo makes the job particularly unpleasant and time-sensitive. The team must work quickly to clear the road while managing a load that is quite literally rotting by the minute. It’s a gritty, smelly job that requires both heavy machinery and a strong stomach.
Meanwhile, the action cuts to Scotland, where another team faces a different kind of problem. A van has plunged into Loch Eck, requiring a complicated underwater recovery. The crew must contend with the cold water, poor visibility, and the sheer weight of the submerged vehicle to pull it from the depths. This episode of Trucking Hell puts the spotlight on the unglamorous but essential work of recovery crews who are called in when things go very, very wrong on the road.
Trucking Hell airs Thursday, June 19, at 9:00 PM on 5Action.
