Just the job !
I am your man Clark so get banging on that old PM facility.
Just a couple of issues mind, but nothing major ?
Can your source a vehicle (rental is your best bet) and we will call it DodgyTrans (kind of catchy do you not think)
Will need a new set of the brilliant white teeth that they all sport on TV nowadays, but i’m sure you have a resident dentist at you place to quickly sort this.
Based in Spain so that will add a bit of viewer interest to the mix.
Will run as bent as a Nine Bob note given the chance, so we can mix a little controversy into the storyline via this.
Looking good is it not ?

One for Harry monkBack in the day maybe, but I don’t think it would make riveting television to watch me delivering yet another 26 pallets into Tesco.
It would be more entertaining than trucks and trailers, “did harry make his delivery on time, tune in next time to find out”

The thing is the majority of trucking is fairly mundane. You might manage a two or three part documentary on someone like transam doing a tour. Or maybe something on a big engendering project moving equipment in but as has been said the majority of us are moving 26 pallets of stuff in to an rdc.
Same as here in Canada for every day we get over the Rockies or round the lakes or a night out in Vegas we do 20. On the interstate through the praries where the only entertainment is count the blown out tyres and road kill. Hardly a ratings winner

If you want to see how a series is done, take a look at the seventies, BBC World About Us programme called Destination Doha… Has soon as I read the word COMPETE, I thought just same as everyone else, drop the over the top comentary, and just do a proper look at different aspects of transport, not this if its not there in five minutes the world will end rubbish… There’s big names in the world of heavy haulage that would make a good serious programme, moving transformers, wind farm machinery, heavy plant, etc… I don’t mind Eddie Stobarts Trucks and Trailers, it’s just the over hype that puts me off, it makes me cring…
I’ve sent an email.
You lot have some mundane boring lives.

Has it been there since 1980?

“Hello I’ve got a problem with my wagon the brakes have frozen on”.
“Where are you Stalingrad”
“Penrith”
By getting him to do revolutionary checks such as uncouple and pull the unit forward so we can work out where the problem is.
It was a brake chamber on his trailer.
Too much Ice Road Truckers for that lad me thinks.
Caught the last five minutes of Fridays Canadian based trucking tomfoolery just in time for and on next weeks death defying feat of nothing.
It looks like (P)Rick Yem might get filled in at long last.
