A treacherous 500-mile mission sees a 25 tonne load of logs being transported from an icy Scottish forest to the garden of England in Kent. Mark Dixon has huge problems as the job hits the skids. BioMass maestro Tim Fox collects 27 tonnes of salt from the oldest working salt mine in the UK to take to Kent, where it will be spread on the roads to make winter driving safer. At Stobart's Southend Airport, a brand new state-of-the-art plane de-icer has just been added to the elite fleet. It is immediately put to the test to dispel the deadly winter frost, but it is a tricky technical job with a host of hidden dangers. Finally, Welsh wizard Ashley Maddocks finds himself driving out of his homeland and into trucking hell, as he battles the nightmare of London traffic on a multi-drop day.

In Stobart’s very own ‘War of the Roses’ there is a Battle of the Biomass, as Lancashire man Tim Fox takes on Yorkshire’s Craig Garside in a race to deliver a shared load to North Wales. With 200 miles of tarmac standing between the truckers and their destination, who will be the first to deliver his sawdust, and will it be on time?

In Scotland, new driver to the series Paul Steele puts his brand new truck to the test on one of Britain’s most dangerous roads. Can his new home – with a cab to rival the plushest hotel suite – stand up to snow and ice? He has a load of plants to deliver and hopes that they will survive the trip as temperatures outside plummet. Also braving the freak winter weather up North is tanker driver Mark Ashurst. Facing freezing conditions on a night drive through the Lake District, he must get his load of fuel to the company’s Carlisle depot in order to keep the trucks on the road. Down at Southampton docks, transporter driver Gareth Ayres is facing a somewhat different challenge. He must safely load £1m worth of luxury motors in dwindling daylight, then drive through the rain and dark to reach a safe overnight stop. If his valuable load is not delivered to two car dealerships intact and without a scratch, he could find himself in hot water.

Biomass trucker Craig Garside is undaunted at taking on a 172-mile journey delivering a mucky load of loose peat. For someone as experienced as Craig it should be a piece of cake, but will an unexpected wall of freezing fog around the Pennines stop him in his tracks? Multi-drop maestro Dave Pickerill faces his worst nightmare. He has two days to make ten deliveries on his least favourite route, the outskirts of London. Will he be able to beat the London traffic and complete his marathon? Mild-mannered Andy Thornton prides himself on being on time, every time. For this long-haul trucker, travelling the length and breadth of the country is all in a day’s work. A 278-mile trek from Middlesbrough to Magor in Monmouthshire should be no problem, but a nasty surprise awaits when a motorway accident forces Andy to take a huge cross-country detour.

Faced with the problem of delivering a 24 tonne replica plane for intended use as a fire simulator at their Southend Airport, the company calls in the experts from their Rail Division. Transporting such a huge load presents major difficulties and they need all their experience, resourcefulness and ingenuity to overcome them. Meanwhile, Liverpudlian driver Jimmy Callaghan is on a tough multi-drop mission around Manchester when his massive truck gets stuck in a packed car park, leading to an altercation with a concerned car driver.

It is full speed ahead in Stobart’s rail and air divisions as the company’s reach grows ever larger, but trucking remains at the heart of the business and the new car transporter division brings in loads worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. For biomass trucker Craig Garside, collecting clay pellets from a factory in Goole presents an unwelcome mathematical problem. Just as he thinks that his troubles are over, he runs into some nasty fog. Will he manage to get his pellets to the concrete factory on time? In the Midlands, this is a happy day for Matt Ekins, who is turning his back on the classroom and his role as a driver trainer and going back to his spiritual home – the road. The temptation of the tarmac proved too much of a pull and Matt is delighted to be driving out of the new Rugby depot. However, he soon gets a dose of trucking reality when he is caught in a traffic snarl-up, threatening to derail his first delivery.

A mechanical fault develops on the walking-floor trailer, however, which threatens to bring the whole delivery to a halt. On the hunt for new trucks, Head of Fleet David Cox flies out to the Volvo factory in Sweden to size up the next generation of tractor units. Claims that these new models can cut emissions by up to 80% are an appealing proposition and David hopes to be able to increase the fuel efficiency of the fleet.

In this opening episode, Ashley Maddocks and Craig Garside head north to appear at Truck Fest Scotland. On the way, Ashley has a drop-off in Livingston, but en route he gets word of a traffic jam that could delay his arrival at the festival.

This week, there are major jobs in store for Stobart’s rail team. Ian ‘Spit’ Wilson has to deliver a 15-tonne rail repair machine, known as the Gopher, to Sunderland.

As anyone who has ever put up wallpaper knows, it is not an easy job.

Mark Dixon and his leading lady, faithful truck Phoebe Grace, come to the end of the road together. It has been a three-year romance, but it is now time for her to retire gracefully. There is a surprise in store for Mark, however, when he is introduced to his new truck and sees her name!

Biomass is big business for Stobart, with the company now shifting over 750,000 tonnes a year.

Before Tim can drop his load of green fuel he has to make a stop at a biomass processing site in Widnes, where a giant sorting machine screens his haul as part of quality control.

Trucker Roy Marshall is working on a bank holiday, heading to the West Country with a load of timber on a time-pressured multi-drop. There is no room for delays but, as he begins his morning safety checks, he notices a big problem – a large tear in his tyre. With an illegal tyre, there is no way that Roy can hit the road. He has no choice but to watch time tick by as he waits for a fitter.

As Southend Airport continues to expand, Roy Hill is supervising the installation of a made-to-measure concrete staircase, which will be the centrepiece of the new terminal.

His day gets no easier when he realises that his 16-foot trailer is too tall for a low bridge!

Stobart CEO Andrew Tinkler’s son Adam joins the trucking team. Having completed his training, he takes the wheel of a fully-loaded 44-tonne log wagon. Mentored by veteran Peter Grant, Adam must learn fast as he negotiates a ten-mile mud track with steep drops on either side in a remote forest.

Ashley Maddocks has a new truck, but is having problems delivering a load of fizzy drinks to Livingston in Scotland. On the unpredictable A66 trunk road, he meets every trucker’s nemesis – fog.

The two newest vehicles on the fleet, called Aqua and Loo Loo, cater for the water and waste requirements of the growing airport. PR consultant Tracy and marketing co-ordinator Rebecca wants to get these two new models on therunway for a press photo shoot.

Biomass trucker and self-confessed foodie Tim is on day three of a strict diet as he embarks on a journey across Scotland. With a fondness for haggis and all things fried, Tim will require an iron resolve to resist temptation.

His truck, Sienna Belle, is Stobart’s second fully operational log wagon and in a bid to prove that he has got what it takes to cut it on the timber trail, Adam sets himself an ambitious target.

Mark anticipates a manic Monday as he sets off to Swindon to deliver a full load of soft drinks. He manages to dodge the traffic, but at the end of the day he winds up with only half an hour left to tip, reload and park before his driving hours run out.

At the massive Daventry warehouse, Jon is in charge of getting 36 containers of goods onto a train bound for Scotland.
