He battles through traffic and heavy rain, but then has to get the monster machine on to the rails. Along the way, we learn where his unusual nickname comes from.

As the truck is a new and unfamiliar shape, Chris must work out the new wrap design, getting each of the sections in exactly the right place. As anyone who has ever put up wallpaper knows, it is not an easy job. Mark Dixon and his leading lady, faithful truck Phoebe Grace, come to the end of the road together.

Biomass is big business for Stobart, with the company now shifting over 750,000 tonnes a year. In his last job before the weekend, biomass tramper (a driver on a long trip who sleeps in his cab) Tim Fox is loaded with woodchip on a run to a paper mill in Shotton. Before Tim can drop his load of green fuel he has to make a stop at a biomass processing site in Widnes, where a giant sorting machine screens his haul as part of quality control. Trucker Roy Marshall is working on a bank holiday, heading to the West Country with a load of timber on a time-pressured multi-drop. There is no room for delays but, as he begins his morning safety checks, he notices a big problem – a large tear in his tyre. With an illegal tyre, there is no way that Roy can hit the road. He has no choice but to watch time tick by as he waits for a fitter. As Southend Airport continues to expand, Roy Hill is supervising the installation of a made-to-measure concrete staircase, which will be the centrepiece of the new terminal. The staircase has to be erected overnight and the job must be finished before the first passengers arrive the following morning. After a large crane is wheeled in to get the stairs in place, a problem arises when the concrete sections are found to be too heavy for even this 8-tonne monster to lift! Car transporter driver Paul Goodenough is loaded with nine cars fresh from the manufacturer. He hits the road bound for two dealerships in Cheshire. Unloading cars is a difficult task, and to make things worse Paul cannot park his mammoth transporter in the first dealership. He has to unload his pricey cargo on a busy side street. His day gets no easier when he realises that his 16-foot trailer is too tall for a low bridge! Back at Southend Airport, employee and self-confessed plane enthusiast Eliott Mason readies himself as a brand new aircraft arrives at the airport. Eliott can hardly contain his excitement as he prepares the passengers to board the state-of-the-art Aer Lingus jet.

Mark anticipates a manic Monday as he sets off to Swindon to deliver a full load of soft drinks. He manages to dodge the traffic, but at the end of the day he winds up with only half an hour left to tip, reload and park before his driving hours run out. At the massive Daventry warehouse, Jon is in charge of getting 36 containers of goods onto a train bound for Scotland. Ian drives the reach stacker, lifting each container onto the train in a race against the clock. If they fail to make their deadline, they face fines from Network Rail, especially if they hold up passenger trains. Elsewhere, preparations for the annual Stobart Fest are underway. Thirty vehicles need to be transported to Carlisle to be scrubbed clean and put on display. The weather is doing no one any favours and Mark struggles to find a trailer at the Carlisle depot. Meanwhile, Mick is ready to show off his new mean machine – the Mercedes Zetros. In Inverness in Scotland, a trainload of freight has arrived and Andy is waiting for his trailer to be loaded with stock, which is due at a supermarket down the road. He is very close to home, but has a long wait to go off duty as his trailer is last on the list for loading. Stobart Fest turns out to be the largest and most successful of the company’s festivals to date. This year’s event features live displays of the log wagon, the biomass truck and the car transporter as well as machines from the rail division and even a plane!

Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
