Two titanic trucks are in Perth, Scotland to load and then deliver to a remote Highland holiday park two halves of a bespoke built holiday lodge worth a whopping two hundred thousand pounds.Although it includes breath-taking scenery and a picturesque ferry ride, for haulage hero Ewan and his team, this two-day mission will prove anything but easy. Snow falling on a narrow A road makes visibility poor and when you're carrying ten tonnes and likely to meet oncoming heavy plant leaving a quarry, that's plain dangerous. To avoid disaster, Escort Driver Tyler is dispatched to warn of the low loader's presence.After a night in their cabs to avoid a four-hour detour, the lads must get their rigs onto a tiny ferry and across picturesque Loch Linnhe. While the spectacular mountain views are food for the soul, the hard work of heading to remote Resipole soon begins. A narrow road poses numerous challenges, including a turn where a rockface and telegraph pole conspire to narrow the margin for error to way beyond challenging.400 miles away in Avonmouth, veteran Kings Heavy Haulage driver Big Andy sets off on his own two-day mission. A crane needs 58 tonnes of heavy ballast delivering to a construction site in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.After a night in his cab, day breaks and Andy makes it to site but a narrow track forces him to perform the trickiest of reverses, and to trust in the skills of the crane's banksman to remotely steer his trailer.Once in position strong winds could threaten the unload but Andy can't afford to be late home – it's his partner's birthday so he must be back in the West Country in time for a celebratory fish supper with Karen.
