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.

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.

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!

Ruhrpott-Trucker Mike is on his way to Berlin in the middle of the night. He knows this route like the back of his hand, because the truck driver is working like on an assembly line. Meanwhile, lumber driver Thorsten transports precious woods for an auction. A job like made for the Franconian driver and his Z-crane. And horse transporter Gerald and his co-driver Günther from Lithuania set off south in this episode. On their tour to Spain and Portugal, the horse whisperers have to look after eleven horses.

Mike Cohnen and Daniel Schewe have a mammoth tour coming up. The destination of their journey is Norway. To make sure everything goes smoothly on the way, the asphalt cowboys have their trucks blessed by a trucker pastor at a truck yard. Thorsten Eckert can't complain about boredom either. In this episode, the lumber driver has his hands full, but suddenly his work equipment goes on strike. And in the Westphalian town of Hamm, the members of the "Children need our help" association get three fourty-ton trucks ready for the trip to Lithuania.

The big day has finally arrived: Asphalt cowboy Mike Cohnen marries his Bianca! To celebrate the day, the newlyweds are holding a trucker party with a convoy of trucks. Country bard Gunter Gabriel, "the German Johnny Cash", is also in the party and serenades the bridal couple himself. Meanwhile, freight forwarder Dieter Lynen and his drivers unload 20,000 liters of beer on Majorca, and lumber driver Thorsten Eckert is not spared from breakdowns on the forest tour in the Taunus region.

Meanwhile, Thorsten Eckert steers a flatbed truck to the Nürburgring. That sounds like child's play, but in the end the job turns out to be a nerve-wracking test. Accidents, time pressure and annoying freight forwarders: truck driver Piet Hackmann is also very familiar with the rigors of the job.

Whether local or long-distance transport, hazardous goods or express: Marc Panzer knows how the transport business works. Because the "asphalt cowboy" has established his own company in North Rhine-Westphalia with charm and assertiveness. But a professional driver and freight forwarder are two jobs in one. That's why multitasking is the order of the day behind the wheel. An extensive private life and healthy nutrition are also pure luxury in the logistics industry. Instead, the heroes of the Autobahn struggle with nerve-racking deadline stress in this episode.

Heavy work with obstacles: Thorsten Eckert is to load long logs in the forests of the Rhön. But the huge logs, up to eight meters long, do not cause the "asphalt cowboy" any headaches. Instead, this time the forester is causing complications. Meanwhile, Canada trucker Heiko Lichtenberg is struggling with bad roads in his adopted home in the middle of nowhere. And Sigi Reil, a primary rock, is plagued by wanderlust at the thought of his load. Because the containers the truck driver transports are shipped all the way to Japan and Miami.

Vikings and bikes: Stefan Kleiß has two great passions. For the members of his motorcycle club "Odins Vassals" a surprise is in store. In this episode, the reed trucker takes a small detour on his tour to meet up with his buddy "Zottel" in a parking lot. Meanwhile Andreas Schubert steers his black and red Scania R620 into the Rhön. The asphalt cowboy is to deliver a load of lumber in Hesse. And for Manuel Feigl, shoes become a problem when unloading heavy freight in Schleswig-Holstein.

Michel and Daniela Kraemer make only slow progress behind a slow caravan on their tour to Torsvag. This causes annoyance at the steering wheel. And what does the trucker couple think of Norwegian reindeer soup? Meanwhile, Thorsten Eckert supplies a biogas plant with wooden beams. A job for a sniffing nose - which strains the "asphalt cowboy's" sense of smell. And Christina Scheib is caught up in the imponderables of the truck driver's everyday life on the trip to southern Italy. At the Austrian border, the toll equipment in the new Scania truck goes on strike.

Sauerland instead of Rhön: Thorsten Eckert is actually a home sleeper, but in this episode the Franconian driver in North Rhine-Westphalia has to make do with a bed in the truck.

The trucker lady from Tegernsee has recently set up her own business. And Sigi Reil transports containers with his Scania R500 in local traffic.
