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!

Andreas Schubert is in good spirits: The truck driver is looking forward to his next tour, because he is going to southern Italy. Exactly what the Bavarian connoisseur is looking for. Meanwhile, his colleague Monika is slowed down by a major construction site on her way to Austria. The 42-year-old has loaded a huge tank on her flatbed truck. Meanwhile, horse trucker Gerald and newcomer Günther are unloading their first four-legged friends in Spain. The duo has to be hell-bent on making sure that none of the spirited animals get lost.

Sports and artful body painting have taken their toll on her: Monika Mast shows her steel-hard muscles and her latest tattoo during her workout. With her tipper, the Swabian has recently started transporting building materials for road construction. A real challenge - even for well-trained "asphalt cowgirls". Meanwhile, Piet Hackmann, Mike Cohen, Daniel Schewe and Mike Panzer make the 31st trucker meeting in Kaunitz unsafe. There, the truck drivers will get their money's worth with a hearty country sound and meet the musicians of their favorite band.
