Trucker lady Monika is on tour with a very special job. She is to bring quality coffins from Lower Bavaria, because her forwarding agency runs a funeral parlor in addition to the transport business. Of course, she is not going to Bavaria empty and is setting off fully loaded with high-quality pumped storage tanks. But the delivery in the Bavarian Forest soon threatens to become an odyssey. And while lumber driver Thorsten is already putting up the maypole on the village square in a good mood after a special tour with a steel load, Italy driver Andreas Schubert is once again swelling his crest - once again nothing with dolce vita!

Anything can happen on the road!

Season 3

Wanderlust

Lumber driver Thorsten Eckert is already sitting behind the steering wheel of his heavy truck before sunrise. The 38-year-old trucker is on his way to the mountains to pick up his first load. He has taken over the company from his father and thus feeds his family of four. The man from Lower Franconia still has no idea that this working day will bring him a bunch of unpleasant surprises. In the meantime, Andreas Schubert starts a groupage tour to Italy - the experienced transport company is under enormous time pressure. And trucker lady Monika sets off in convoy for a heavy goods tour to the Baltic Sea. Although the 41-year-old has only had her truck driving license for three years, she is still allowed to drive large loads - learned is learned. When Monika is on the goat, one thing is never missing: her terrier Aik.

Something is always something!

Shortly after five in the morning, trucker Monika starts the engine at the Frankenwald rest stop in Bavaria. This day is going to be quite an ordeal for the 41-year-old because she is suffering from a flu-like infection. In the evening, the tough Swabian woman is not waiting for a hot bath, but rather a disgusting building container without hot water in the middle of the Vorpommern province. But that doesn't stop Monika, she is determined to make her way north. Transport company Marten is now on its way to Augsburg with a load of steel beams. The 30-year-old has not yet been able to organize a return load due to the seasonal economic downturn.

Just like real life

Holstein's Marten Nottelmann is in a good mood again, as the order situation in the transport industry has improved. Precise scheduling is now the be-all and end-all of daily business. But no matter how hard you try as a trucker, nothing is as old as the scheduling system you just had! Uwe Wenta, the radiator truck driver, knows that too. In Bremerhaven, he loads fresh and frozen goods for a large ship's chandler, and that means: Always keep an eye on the temperature in the trailer, otherwise the goods might be spoiled on arrival. But the destination is still 700 kilometers away. Concrete coachman Piet has meanwhile switched over due to the winter lull in the construction industry. He now travels in a tanker truck from village to village, right across his Emsland home. But Piet is a newcomer here, because his load is very special and takes some getting used to - if it works out.
