Trucking Heavy

Col, an experienced driver, is tasked with two massive relocations, including moving a 63‑ton cable reel from Worksop to the yard at Studley. The operation tests his skill and planning as he works to complete both moves successfully.

The programme centres on seasoned driver Col, who’s been called in to tackle an unusually demanding assignment. It’s presented as a single episode that follows his work, putting his extensive experience under the spotlight as he prepares for what lies ahead. In this particular instalment, Col is faced with not just one, but two colossal moves. The most striking of these involves a massive 63‑ton cable reel that must be shifted from Worksop and delivered to the yard at Studley. The sheer weight of the reel makes the job a true test of skill and planning, and the episode tracks the effort required to get it from point A to point B safely. The show gives viewers a close‑up look at the logistical hurdles Col encounters while coordinating the transport. It highlights the careful manoeuvring and the precise timing needed to handle such a heavyweight load, as well as the challenges of navigating the route between the two sites. By following his process from start to finish, the episode illustrates just how demanding a move of this magnitude can be, even for a veteran behind the wheel.
