Eagles and buffalo

A bed in a corn field

Out of the office: Dieter Lynen is rarely on the go as head of a forwarding agency. His 1500 kilometer long tour to Spain is a welcome change.

Sven's employer has specialized in the transport of volcanic raw materials.

The yucca palm tree

Emanuel Bock from Lower Saxony transports animal feed to farms in Northern Germany. The "Asphalt Cowboy" is mainly on the road in local traffic. For good reason, because Emanuel sleepwalks. A night in a truck on the highway could cost him his head. Ronny Vötsch must not allow himself to make a mistake either. The lumber driver shunts with his truck at the loading area in the mountains of South Tyrol at an altitude of 2000 meters, only a hand's breadth away from the slope. And Sven Pittke is getting on his last nerve with a screw in the cab of his truck.

Just the two of us

Long-distance racers instead of refrigerated trailers: "Asphalt Cowboy" Sven Julitz transports a Porsche as fast as an arrow to the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring.

Against the wall
