Trucking Hell Season 6, Episode 5: Episode 5

Episode 1

Return of the documentary following workers in the heavy recovery business. In Corby a 16-metre lorry loaded with waste flips over near a busy roundabout.

Episode 2

In this week's episode, company boss Adam Crouch detours from his morning office commute to attend the scene of a big incident. He leads the team as they try to rescue a rolled-over mixer truck full of tonnes of wet cement. Joining him in this biggest of jobs is patriarch of the family Dave Crouch, Adam's dad and a crane-driving expert. At Lantern, Merrie gets back on the road after a week's holiday in Italy only to discover her hydraulic levers have gremlins in the system — making it difficult to fix a broken-down truck's dodgy turbo. And in Leicestershire, things get wet and wild for Abang as he has to fish a Ford Focus out of a river.

Episode 3

In this week's episode, Crouch incident manger Steve and his team have been called out to a lorry that has caught fire on the extremely busy A1. By the time Steve arrives, the fire has been put out and Callum has pulled the tractor unit onto a low loader. But there's still the mammoth task of lifting what's left of the trailer onto another low loader. Steve and his team move a crane into position, but Dave notices that ash on the trailer is still burning — which could be extremely dangerous if the wind picks up, causing it to re-ignite. They decide to tip the trailer's remaining contents onto the road, making it much safer. Once this is done, they can concentrate on the lift, but the trailer is so badly damaged by fire that it could break up while in the air. So the team must be ultracautious as they attempt this recovery. Lantern boys Daniel and Steve have been called to rescue a trailer that's suffered a serious blow from the branch of an overhanging tree.
