This episode showcases the journeys of Mark, Russel, Tank and Yogi, as they travel through the harsh and rugged terrain of the Australian Outback, facing extreme weather conditions and treacherous roads on their way.
The episode starts with Mark, a seasoned truck driver, who sets out on a 1000-mile journey carrying coins and jewels from Darwin to Alice Springs. The journey takes him through the isolated stretches of the Stuart Highway, where he faces the challenge of driving through the scorching heat, with temperatures crossing 40 degrees Celsius. The risk of overheating and engine failure is constant, and any mistake could result in a catastrophic failure, which would cost him his load and his payday.
Next up is Russel, who is carrying a 100-ton mobile sawmill from the snowy mountains of Victoria to the mines in Western Australia. The journey takes him through some of the most remote and unforgiving roads of the outback, including the treacherous Nullarbor Plain, where there is no fuel, water or civilization for hundreds of kilometers. Russel's task is to deliver his load on time, as any delay could result in the mine's shutdown, which would cost millions to the owner.
Tank, the third driver, is hauling a 200-ton hydroponic watering system from Adelaide to Darwin, a journey that will take him through the dense tropical forests of North Australia. Tank faces the challenge of navigating through narrow dirt roads, dense bushland, and steep inclines, all while battling torrential rains and the threat of flash floods. The task of getting his cargo to the destination on time to ensure that the startup utilizing the system isn't delayed makes it even more crucial.
The final driver of the episode is Yogi, who is embarking on a journey across the treacherous Gibb River Road, a 660-kilometer stretch of dirt track that passes through the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Yogi's task is to transport a fleet of new bulldozers from Port Hedland to the remote Broome mining site. Throughout the journey, Kogi faces the challenge of navigating through tight hairpin bends, steep climbs, and rivercrossings making his way onto the destination of his toils.
