Sounds good…For the team at Kings Heavy Haulage, no job is ever too big as the 25 strong team cart awkward, colossal and abnormal loads up and down the country. Faced with the challenge of tight deadlines and firm restrictions the brand new series, Supertruckers allows us to sit cabin-side as all the drama of British haulage unfurls.
The six-part show follows Bristol-based, family run business, Kings Heavy Haulage as the truckers test themselves both physically and mentally in their quest to deliver difficult loads unharmed and on time for top clients, including the Military of Defence. With tanks, cranes, ramps, airbrakes and engines the boys know their trucks from grill to exhaust and can handle anything that their monstrous machines throw at them.
The series is brought to life with the lively characters who are some of the most experienced truckers in the business. The first episode sees Sully, Kev, Broomey and Sgt. Major face not only a problematic but also an extremely pricey cargo of four hefty Viking MK2 tanks that need transporting from Ashcroft to the Chivenor Military Base. With only a small window of delivery time and a lot of weight to carry the drama of trucker life is brought in to being by the larger-than-life characters in their most comfortable setting, the cab of a truck.
In each of the episodes the team are confronted with challenges of logistics and logic as they negotiate weird and wonderful objects around the familiar settings of the motorways of Britain.
The Military of Defence? Is that what VOSA are calling themselves this week or just a ■■■■ poor proof read by the muppet at the tv channel who wrote it before they knocked off for the weekend?
And these truckers know the trucks from grill to exhaust… So they never look behind the cab at the rest of the truck then?

It looks to me like they move equipment for the mod muppet
What makes you think they don’t check mirrors?
Looks a good watch.

Looks worth a watch. Hopefully won’t be as over dramatised as Eddie stobart. Seems like the bloody world is gonna end if a stobart truck is 15 minutes late to a supermarket with a truck full of baked beans and wagon wheels.
Look forward to it, have seen King trucks about quite a bit, never with those huge loads though.
Thanks for the heads up. Record button at the ready.
Makes a change form all those cooking program’s, quiz shows and depressing soaps on at the moment.
So its an english version of the Aussie show megatruckers, should be worth a watch , though i dont suppose there where many kangaroos to dodge on the M5
i wonder how the pickup at dfds dockside immingham will be played out? the film crew wasn’t initially wasn’t allowed on, due to the head of security hadn’t been informed, i pulled out 1hr later and the crew and the truck was still sat there waiting to get in…
