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.
