07:36IT'S GIANT TOE HITCH.
07:39I WANT YOU TO FOLD THE UNDERLIFT DOWN.
07:41YEAH.
07:42IF GUY GETS ANY OF THIS WRONG,
07:44THE COMPANY MAY RESTRICT HIM TO A WEEK OF JUST WATCHING

10:32JAKE, WHAT'S THE PLAN?
10:33WE'VE GOT A JOB.
10:34WE'VE GOT A JOB COME THROUGH, MATE.
10:35WE'VE GOT A WINCHART, LOOK.
10:36WE'VE GOT A UNIT IN TRAILER, JACK KNIFED IN A FIELD.
10:39FROM THAT, WE NEED TO ACCEPT THIS JOB,
10:41AND THEN WE'VE PUT IT DOWN,
10:42SO WE'RE ON ROUTE, LOOK.
10:44YEP.
10:45WE'RE ON IT, MATE.
10:55THE JOB IS 60 MILES NORTH OF THE M1,
10:58WHICH GIVES THE CONTROL ROOM TIME TO PROVIDE SOME EXTRA INTEL.
11:02THIS IS AN OFFICE HERE.
11:05MAX!
11:06Hello, mate, you all right?
11:07You or Guy, whoever's not driving,
11:09have a look at the WhatsApp.
11:10There's some photos on there, give you an idea.
11:12Lovely, Sam.
11:13All right then, Max, thanks for that.
11:14Your hand's got on.
11:15In a bit, mate.
11:16I don't think that's driving away.
11:19Have you got any gloves?
11:20I've got gloves, if not.
11:21I ain't got any gloves.
11:22No, we'll...
11:23As you can see, me hands get a fair bit.
11:24I know, I know you're like me,
11:26you want to get mucked in and crack on,
11:27but them winch cables,
11:29obviously, you've got a bit sticking out of the rope like that.
11:31So I hope for safety, company policy,
11:33it's obviously RVs, boots and gloves.
11:35Yeah.
11:36I don't know how that's when we're winching, like.
11:37Yeah.
11:45Right, it's down there, look.
11:46Just seeing.
11:49Are we thinking here it's not going to be a drivable state?
11:51Yeah, it looks like though we're going to need this rope closing.
11:54An articulated lorry has skidded off a slippery corner,
12:01and the white cab unit has spun round into the trailer,
12:05wedging itself into a field.
12:11No rescue is straightforward,
12:13but within seconds of approaching the scene,
12:15even the rookie spots this one has an added complication.
12:19What are you thinking there, boss?
12:20You can split the diesel tank.
12:21It looks like it might have split.
12:23I can smell it.
12:24Yeah.
12:25Yeah, it's ****ing out, innit?
12:26Obviously, it's full tank.
12:27Squashed it.
12:28Squashed it.
12:29Yeah.
12:30It's the way you go down the route of getting something
12:31to suck it out with.
12:32It's still coming, mate.
12:34Diesel like this isn't flammable,
12:36but it is extremely greasy.
12:38Letting fuel slosh all over the road join the recovery
12:41would just make a skiddy corner worse.
12:44Sound job.
12:45So it's out with the pump.
12:47What'd I do, that pump is?
12:51Get it half empty, he says.
12:52Get it half empty, then I'm off.
12:53All right, mate.
12:54I've got the thick of it out.
12:55Most of it's on me, mind.
12:56Jay has already clocked the next issue.
12:58If they simply drag the truck out from where they're parked,
13:00it might stay jackknifed.
13:01If we pull this backwards because of the angle
13:02that that tractor unit's on there,
13:04it might not pull itself out if we pull it where I'm positioned now.
13:07If you can see, look, that that stair's already out the ground.
13:09Yeah.
13:10Well, that is what you need as your anchorage point,
13:11is what you need as your anchorage point.
13:12Right.
13:13That is what you need as your anchorage point.
13:14That's what you need as your anchorage point.
13:15Yeah.
13:16Right.
13:17Right.
13:18Because of the angle that that tractor unit's on there,
13:20it might not pull itself out if we pull it where I'm positioned now.
13:25If you can see, look, that that stair's already out of the ground.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Well, that is what you need as your anchorage point, isn't it?
13:30It needs to pivot there.
13:32You see how he's thinking about that?
13:35Jay uses his experience to line up on the left side of the road,
13:39while Guy will be relying on a bit of his farmyard wisdom.
13:44That's generally the way with towing.
13:46Like, we get tractors stuck.
13:48Pull them out the way they went in.
13:49Don't try and pull them into more danger.
13:52Pull them out the way they came in.
13:54Right, Bob, go on. Where'd you at us?
13:56Right.
13:57There's them snatch blocks from yesterday morning.
13:58Do you remember where they are?
13:59Yeah, I do.
13:59Do you want to get one of them?
14:00Yeah.
14:02The plan is to drag the truck back to the side of the road
14:05where it first lost control.
14:08So they spool the winch out and put it round the truck's rear axle.
14:11If you jump underneath and I'll guide it to you, yeah?
14:13Sound, John.
14:15Do you want that mat to lie on at your height?
14:16Yeah, it'll be all right.
14:17I thought you'd say that.
14:19Round this side then, mate.
14:21That's it, mate, yeah.
14:23Do you want to link them together?
14:24Just link that together, bud.
14:26Like that?
14:26That's it.
14:27Yeah?
14:28Yeah.
14:28That'll help me find that.
14:29Right, we're halfway enough for that.
14:32So you need to now go on to your remote?
14:34Yeah.
14:35There, look.
14:36That's it.
14:36Flick it on to remote.
14:41Yeah.
14:42Yeah.
14:42Green button.
14:43Time to find out if Guy's connected the trailer properly.
14:46Righto, Guy!
14:47And if Jay's got his calculations right.
14:50Righto, mate.
14:51You ready?
14:51Yeah, winch, you're in.
14:53Just gear it up.
14:54Go on.
14:54Come here, have it.
14:57Go on.
14:58Just settling?
14:58Yeah, just settling, mate.
14:59You're right.
15:00It is the tensest part of the job.
15:02Happy?
15:02Yeah, go on.
15:03Keep going?
15:03Yeah.
15:04Just keep doing what I'm doing.
15:07Keep the button on.
15:07Just keep going what you're going, mate, yeah?
15:12She's coming round lovely now, look.
15:13You happy?
15:13Yeah, you see how it's pulling it out of the jackknife now, look?
15:16Yeah.
15:17But yeah, no, she's coming out lovely at that.
15:19Go on, what's that noise?
15:20Tyres scrubbed?
15:20It's just the tyres going sideways on there, like, yeah.
15:24What I'm doing is we'll get in straight so we've got enough room to turn the wreck around
15:28to get past and get in front of him, yeah.
15:30Don't ever keep reaching and block yourself in.
15:34Righto, mate.
15:35That's us.
15:35You stop winching.
15:36Winch out.
15:37The recovery has worked perfectly, and our guy is off to a good start with his new job.
15:43Wait a minute, give us a bit more slack, mate, so I can get that off.
15:46He's mad for it.
15:47Yeah, sound job, mate.
15:49Very hands-on, very mechanically minded, so I'm not having to repeat myself to him.
15:53Tell him once, go, we need it off.
15:54Yeah, of course we do, and he's on it.
15:56Jay has no problem putting Guy on the spot and testing him about the technicalities.
16:01What would you do now to drop that trailer?
16:04Just think about what we've done to recover it.
16:07Well, you put the shunt brake on, so you put the power brake back on.
16:09Exactly that.
16:10That's what I'm looking for.
16:11Legs down, pull the pin, yeah.
16:13Otherwise you'd be running down the road.
16:14You know, because there's so much happening, you could quite easily forget that.
16:17Yeah.
16:17Spot on, mate, that.
16:18A relief truck arrives to tow the trailer away.
16:23You will get a bit of bend in that boom, look.
16:24I can see that.
16:25While Guy and Jay hitch the damaged unit up for a trip to the repairers.
16:30First impressions of Jay?
16:34Absolute pride in his work.
16:35Happy?
16:36The ultimate professional.
16:38Right, come on underneath, look with us.
16:41Oh, just twist your fork a little bit.
16:43That's it.
16:46That's it.
16:47Yeah, just boom up.
16:48Yeah, I turned up here with about 10% knowledge, I suppose, of truck recovery.
16:56I've had a day with Jay, probably 11% on.
17:02What to learn, mate?
17:03Mate, honestly, yeah, for a job like that, I think you've done cracking, mate.
17:08I was impressed with how little faff there was, and it's because people know what they're doing.
17:12Next stop, a garage in Sheffield.
17:19But not before indulging in a key part of a job like this, chewing the fat.
17:25That's what I like it, Guy.
17:26You generally don't know what you're going to be doing from one day to the next, who you're going to meet.
17:29I've been about it ever since I was a kid.
17:31Yeah?
17:32I started at my dad's at a bloody 12-year-old, fixing trucks.
17:34Used to do all the school holidays.
17:36Yeah.
17:37You know what I mean? I love the job.
17:38Yeah, well, ironically, I got suspended from school for not going.
17:41Right.
17:42I didn't go, so they told me I can't go no more.
17:44Is that right?
17:44Yeah.
17:45But I learned more being with my dad than I ever did in school.
17:49Yeah, you're right.
17:50Especially life skills and stuff like that.
17:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:52Yeah.
18:00The mission finishes with a set of photos to prove Jay and Guy haven't created any extra damage.
18:07He's asking if you want to take another photo, and then you go to your next position and just work your way around.
18:11How have I enjoyed my first day as a road warrior?
18:18I'm not a road warrior.
18:21I've just been sat with Jay in a wagon, recovering her truck.
18:25It's been mint.
18:25I loved it.
18:26Great job.
18:27Great job.
18:3546, M1 South, pass the services.
18:38Back at the yard, it's time to prep for tomorrow.
18:42Go on, pass the 69.
18:43Go on, boy, where do you want us?
18:48Towards the end of shift there, so company policy is get washer off.
18:52Down, mate, down.
19:02Well, I didn't expect this to be happening today.
19:04I've got a guy marching washing my truck for me, like, yeah.
19:11Gently water bloat.
19:12You wouldn't normally get...
19:13Guy don't see himself as a celebrity, does he?
19:15But at the end of the day, he is.
19:17You wouldn't get any other celebrity.
19:18I have his on, hands covered in oil,
19:21cracking on washing your truck and doing it right.
19:29And after washing comes the refuelling.
19:32What, eight to the gallon?
19:34Just around about eight at the best.
19:36What are the worst? Yes.
19:38We can be down to around about four and a half to five.
19:40Yeah.
19:42And your normal car's doing, what, 30 or 40 to the gallon?
19:45Yeah.
19:46Yeah.
19:47Eight hundred quid to fill it.
19:48Around about there, yeah.
19:50Expensive job.
19:51Right, yeah, so, erm, here we are.
20:01Work a late shift.
20:02Yeah.
20:03They give you your own digs to stay in.
20:05Come and have a look at this.
20:06This is going to take some beating.
20:13Here we are, number one.
20:15Here we are, the key in the garden.
20:18Have a look at this.
20:19Have a look at this.
20:21Hey.
20:22Fridge.
20:23Oh, my word, cow juice.
20:29Here we go.
20:32Trucker's toothbrush.
20:35When in Rome.
20:42Fantastic.
20:43Oh, hang on, I can turn that on, can I?
20:45I can turn that on.
20:49I love it.
20:51I love it.
20:52You know me, I love learning new things.
20:54Hey, I won't be very quick.
20:58I know maybe, I wouldn't be the most efficient,
20:59but if I had to go do it now, I'm sure I could do it.
21:02I might make a mess, but I could do it.
21:04Can't wait for tomorrow.
21:05Genuinely do not know what's going to happen.
21:07Hopefully we have something...
21:10interesting.
21:11Something that's a bit exciting.
21:13You know, just go, right, I'll get my head down.
21:15Thank you very much.
21:17Not that I'm asking for a multiple pileup or anything.
21:27Guy's back on shift at the recovery yard
21:32and facing one of the challenges of an unpredictable job.
21:37Keeping yourself busy in between shouts.
21:42Go on, do you want me to get the shovel out, boy?
21:44I think there's an out to sweeping clothes.
21:46What do you think?
21:47I'm not good at much, but I'm all right at sweeping up now.
21:49Just out that door and left on the side, mate.
21:51It's a happy job.
21:54But it doesn't take long for someone
21:56to send up a distress flare.
21:58Yeah, yeah.
21:59Yeah, send that one down, mate.
22:00We'll get set off straight away.
22:01Cheers, Max, thank you.
22:03Go on, boy, what's the plan?
22:04A lot of recovery, mate. One in Birmingham.
22:05Oh, right, that's us, then.
22:06That's us, then, mate. We'll get cracking?
22:07We'll crack on.
22:08Sound job, boy, sound job, right.
22:09I'll take off.
22:10It's not going to piss it down, is it?
22:12I just think, how much should I take off?
22:13Take the jacket off.
22:14I've got my bloody winter gear on.
22:17The boys leap immediately into action.
22:21Add a cheese on if you don't mind, yeah?
22:22Yeah, that'll do, mate. I'll have that.
22:23That looks like it's got pickle, that more you.
22:24Right, that'll do, mate.
22:26Hey, I'm not a fussy man, boy.
22:38With the job about one hour away,
22:40there's plenty of time for chat,
22:42as well as fine dining.
22:44And what do these two alpha nights of the road discuss?
22:50Holidays.
22:51Yeah, we've been on cruisers for the last few years,
22:54and that's conveyed to me that.
22:56Honestly.
22:57I wouldn't have thought of admitting,
22:58you know, being stuck on that boat, honestly.
22:59I can't knock it till I've tried it,
23:01but I'd have said that's not for me.
23:02No.
23:03Go on.
23:03Yeah, you know, because you think I'm stuck on this thing,
23:05there's no to do.
23:06With the same folk, yeah.
23:06Same folk.
23:07Yeah, but two and a half thousand staff or something,
23:10now 5,000 people on this ship.
23:12You don't see the same person twice in a fortnight.
23:15Honestly.
23:15Yeah.
23:16Honestly.
23:16Yeah.
23:17Yeah.
23:17And I've been to cities that I wouldn't have thought I'd go into.
23:20Like where?
23:21Er, well, Barcelona,
23:23because there's that much to do and see around Barcelona.
23:24Is it?
23:25Yeah, yeah.
23:25All right.
23:26I'd never say never, then.
23:27Like, my missus ain't a big flyer.
23:29Yeah, but, hey, we're eyes and ears open to different...
23:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:37What's he doing here?
23:38He just got wrong side to Ireland, didn't he?
23:40He just got wrong side to Ireland here, yeah.
23:43Yeah.
23:43We're on here somewhere, you reckon?
23:45Yeah, we're looking for Electric Avenue.
23:4718-tonne rigid, mate.
23:50On this lane some...
23:51Ah, I can see something down there with some address flacking.
23:54It's normally a good sign.
23:55Yeah.
23:57All right, so I'll go to that locker, get my eye-vis out, then.
23:59Yes, mate, yeah, yeah.
24:01Your man, look, he's got his thumb up for us.
24:04Good man.
24:05We've got parked cars behind him, mate,
24:07so we're going to be going for a front, mate.
24:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:10Jay's happy for Guy to take the lead on this lift-and-shift.
24:17Our hero starts his enquiries...
24:19How are you getting on, mate?
24:20...with the driver of the broken-down truck.
24:23Will she drive, mate?
24:24Sorry?
24:25Will she move?
24:25No, she won't, mate.
24:26I was coming along here.
24:27What's happened, mate?
24:28Er, coming along here.
24:29Yeah?
24:30Got the faults up, come up on the dash.
24:32Yeah, orange lights, red lights.
24:33Er, red lights.
24:35Lost all drive.
24:36Did you?
24:36Literally lost all drive, just glided into here.
24:39Er, I had a mechanic come out.
24:42Yeah.
24:42He's had a look at it.
24:43It's funny, he's got the faults, he got 49 faults up.
24:46So, yeah.
24:47With a few issues, then.
24:48So, er, I think the only thing that's working at the minute
24:50is the tachograph and the radio.
24:52Okay.
24:52Now, sound job, mate.
24:53Right.
24:55We've got a plan.
24:56Have we?
24:56Yeah, all right, Jay.
24:58Powertrain module issue.
24:59Well, it sounds like an engine.
25:00Right.
25:01Yeah, that's not roadside repair, then.
25:03Yeah, by the sound of it.
25:05He was here for an hour, mucking about, come get to the bottom of it.
25:07Right.
25:07So, tell her away.
25:09It may only be day three, but our guy reckons he's got the hang of this.
25:14So, tied up to you, what you want to do on this.
25:15Sit there, flicker onto your remote,
25:17because obviously you want to be down there underneath,
25:18see what you're doing there.
25:19The golden rule is damage-free recovery.
25:23Oh, green button, power up.
25:26So, the challenge here is hitching a real customer's truck up
25:29without accidentally punching a hole through its floor.
25:33Boom down a bit, do you think?
25:39Boom down, mate, yeah.
25:40You're about level at that.
25:43That's it, extend out at that.
25:49Boom up.
25:50Boom up.
25:51Nope to catch there, is it?
25:53Nope, that won't be that.
25:54Are you happy?
25:54Perfect, that.
25:59Blimey, he's done it.
26:03Yeah.
26:04Back up over your axle.
26:05On the outside of the axle.
26:06Yeah, so you've got the other side of the spring hanger now, haven't you?
26:09Yeah.
26:09Then you'll have a hook on each side.
26:10Yeah, I have, yeah.
26:11Chaining your right chain gone to your left.
26:13So, that's making a little bit more sense now, boy.
26:17Only a little bit, though.
26:19Only a little bit.
26:22Now Guy has to make the vehicle safe to tow,
26:25which is a test for his mechanical instincts.
26:28Four bolts, innit?
26:29Yeah.
26:30Ideally, then, half shaft.
26:31I'd pace the half shaft it, mate, yeah.
26:34Removing the half shaft will prevent a lot of damage.
26:38Taking the half shaft out.
26:40When the truck's been towed, we want to stop the gearbox from turning.
26:43We'll turn the gearbox without the engine running.
26:44The oil pump's not working.
26:46It'll seize the gearbox up.
26:50So, we catch all this oil in this.
26:51So, we're just making sure from an environmental point of view,
26:54we're not causing any problems.
26:55I'll put my rag right back and I'll rotate it,
26:58so you're pushing the rag onto the back,
26:59just so you're wiping it.
27:01That's it, because then when you pull it out,
27:02you're not dripping all of it floor.
27:04Yeah?
27:04Perfect.
27:05So, you dump back at shaft now.
27:07They'll love this on telly.
27:08What?
27:08Wipe your shaft, Guy.
27:09Nobody likes a dripping shaft.
27:11No, we do not, Matt.
27:13No, we do not.
27:15There's only one set of splines on this.
27:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:19Sling them bolts in there.
27:20Put them in there, look.
27:21Keep everything all neat and tidy together.
27:25One, obviously, we don't want to be putting them in a customer's vehicle.
27:28Dirty bolts of that.
27:29No, we don't.
27:30You know what defoil could smell like.
27:31To be honest, I quite like a bit of EP-98.
27:34I like a bit, yeah, yeah.
27:36The half shaft gets stored in a special hidey hole.
27:39Mate, that's tidy, that.
27:41And then the pavement gets a spring clean.
27:45Bit of brake cleaner, look.
27:46Mate, mate, mate.
27:47You know, just where we've made a bit of a mess.
27:48Mate, you know the score.
27:49There's one last check to make sure Guy is properly on the ball.
27:55You're chained on.
27:56You've got your ear in.
27:58Yeah.
27:59Shaft's out.
28:00We just need one more thing doing.
28:02Back lights.
28:03Back lights on, mate, yeah.
28:04And he nails it.
28:07No, can't come off.
28:08All that remains is to say goodbye to a grateful driver.
28:13It's more of a Submarino then, mate.
28:14It was, mate.
28:15Exactly that.
28:15Exactly that, mate.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Nice to meet you.
28:18I've had known he was coming over to watch the lorry.
28:21In this world, our guy is bigger than Beyonce,
28:26which does hold the job up a bit.
28:28What's happening?
28:29Are you all good?
28:29Yeah.
28:30You killed it.
28:31Good lad.
28:32Nice one, mate.
28:33Cheers, mate.
28:34See you later, mate.
28:35Cheers, mate.
28:36Good job.
28:37Jay always keeps his mind on the job.
28:39I've just realised, Guy, before we've set off, mate,
28:41we've got seven and a half ton weight limit straight in front.
28:43Yeah.
28:44Dead End Street, seven and a half ton weight limit.
28:46So we're going to have to turn this around here before we carry on.
28:51No, this isn't easy.
28:57I'll get on his, I'll get on his side.
29:18Cheers, mate.
29:21Tidy work there, mate.
29:25We're good.
29:26Tidy work, mate.
29:27Tidy work.
29:34Didn't take long, did it?
29:35No.
29:35No.
29:37The recovery's a success, but the job's not over.
29:41When you're driving a load this big and cumbersome,
29:43you can't switch off for a second.
29:46On the way in, we had a 15-foot bridge, didn't we?
29:48Yes, we did.
29:49Yes, we did.
29:49So it was no good then turning this around and it being 16 foot tall.
29:53So you've had to take that into account.
29:55When I was in earlier, yeah, to check the handbrake, I had a quick clock at the height marker in it, you see?
30:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:01But what you've got to take into account is, it's marked up at 14 foot three.
30:04Plus what you've lifted it.
30:05Plus what we've lifted it, yes.
30:07I know for a fact, 15 foot here, we're absolutely fine.
30:10Go on, do you want me to watch here?
30:11Are you happy?
30:12No, Sam, mate, Sam.
30:12No stress?
30:13No stress.
30:14Right, OK.
30:15And we're 15...
30:16You're all right, OK.
30:17OK, I like your confidence.
30:18You watch your mirrors here, look.
30:19Watching your mirrors.
30:20I like your confidence.
30:21Yeah?
30:22You look how much you've got there.
30:28Oh, you'd swing a cat in there.
30:30Plenty.
30:31Yeah, hey, boy.
30:31Hey, boy, that's the experience, isn't it?
30:33Fair play to you.
30:34Out on the open road, there's chance to evaluate how well the job went.
30:41And in particular, acknowledge Guy's customer service skills.
30:46Approaching the driver and talking to him like he did,
30:48well, from my eyes, I think it's paramount.
30:51Yeah, he'd been sat there six hours.
30:52No wonder he was pleased that we'd got there.
30:55We get people that haven't been in that situation scenario before.
31:00So they are slightly worried.
31:02They're panicking because they're out of the elements.
31:04They don't know what's happening.
31:05So you have to almost comfort them a bit in that.
31:08We're doing this on a daily basis.
31:09It's the norm to us.
31:11It's Joe Public's side of the road that's broke down.
31:13Potentially the first time they've ever been in that scenario.
31:16Yeah.
31:17You're making their terrible day.
31:18It's that little bit more bearable for them.
31:20You are, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:21Just by just putting the mine at rest.
31:23Yeah, we do get a bit of a buzz when you effectively...
31:26A bit of job satisfaction from the job.
31:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:28Well, hey, boy, that's worth a lot, isn't it?
31:29Yeah.
31:29That's worth a lot.
31:30The lads reach the repair yard and get ready to unload.
31:40Just obviously, yeah, just be careful if...
31:43Obviously we're on a live industrial estate, so...
31:45Yeah.
31:48You all right?
31:49Yeah.
31:52No mess in here, mate.
31:53Spot on, that.
31:54Spot on.
31:55Just had no input in dropping that off.
31:57It's done it by its own accord.
31:58Yeah, there were no jerky movements with it or anything.
32:01Blowing it down nice.
32:02Plenty of clearance underneath the vehicle, so...
32:04Spot on, that.
32:06All right to fold up?
32:07Fold her up, mate, yeah.
32:08That's spot on, that, mate.
32:13Yeah, job done, job done.
32:14Erm, I'm learning, I'm sort of...
32:16I'm slowly getting there, but having a word with the lads in there,
32:19I said, go on, it's got this fault, what do you think that'll be?
32:21He said, that could be a solenoid inside the box,
32:23or it could be a wheel speed sensor.
32:24I'd just be interested to see what that was.
32:26Just talking to the apprentice there, it's just started.
32:28He didn't have a clue, but he's into it.
32:29He's only been here a few months.
32:30It's been another job well done, and our guy is fitting into this world rather well.
32:37I can't fault the chap, literally, yeah.
32:40I'd say if we was doing it at out of a ten, it'd be way up, probably eight out of ten.
32:45It's calm, it's collective, which is what you want.
32:47You don't want anybody that's flapping on a job like this.
32:50Exactly, mate, I'll go put them back. Thank you.
32:53Thank you. Cheers, mate.
32:54Once they've tidied up, Guy and Jay seize the opportunity for a lunch break
32:58and manage to get a table for two on the back of a skiplory.
33:05That's a sort of normal thing, isn't it? Office jobs.
33:08One-hour dinner breaks.
33:10Yeah.
33:12That's not the norm in this job, is it?
33:13Not the norm at all, mate, no, definitely.
33:15We don't get an hour dinner break, no.
33:17Definitely not.
33:18We'll have breaks to keep us legal.
33:19Yeah.
33:20But, as you can well imagine, with the industry that we're in,
33:23we are on it, as such.
33:26Yeah, yeah.
33:27If we get the police ringing us up, the road's closed,
33:30we've got to open this road as quick as possible,
33:32we're not going to tell them,
33:33we'll be with you in 45 minutes, we're just having a dinner break.
33:36It ain't going to wash, is it?
33:37No.
33:40Waiting for the phone to go, then?
33:42Yes.
33:43Yeah.
33:45Right.
33:45Yeah.
33:49Guy's final day as a recovery operator will see him tested with the job's biggest challenge.
34:06A truck rollover.
34:07The goal was, at the start of the recovery job, was can I man a juicy scenario?
34:15Right, can I control that situation?
34:17Well, what we're going to do, we're going to make our own juicy situation.
34:20We're going to roll the truck over, and can I ride it?
34:24I think I've got the general gist of what needs to happen, hopefully.
34:30There's 101 things that could go wrong.
34:34It could fall over on someone, crush a load of puppies.
34:38There's just loads of things that could happen, loads of things that could happen.
34:41But we try not to think about those.
34:44The power of positive non-thinking.
34:46It's as complex as recovery gets, involving two of the company's biggest cranes,
34:54and lifting specialists, Steve and Pat.
34:58Guy will have to use all the knowledge he's learnt this week, and a bit more.
35:03This is what we get up for.
35:05On here?
35:05Yeah, yeah.
35:06Something to go and get your teeth stuck into, like.
35:09But first, they have to make the truck have an accident.
35:13And they've got just the man for the job.
35:15Go on, give it a bit.
35:17Keep it going, keep it going.
35:19Alright.
35:20Send it.
35:27Just like that.
35:29Just like that.
35:34I think we've achieved putting it on its side.
35:36Steve is an instructor with the Institute of Vehicle Recovery, and gives Guy a crash course in the physics behind this rescue.
35:45Yeah.
35:46And we're saying it's what, 20?
35:47We're saying it's 20 tonne.
35:48Let's just use 20 tonne as a figure.
35:49Yeah.
35:50Sometimes I think people think we just turn up, we just attach a winch to it and pull, and just hope for the best.
35:56Work out where the centre of gravity would be, multiply it by the distance of your pivot point, which is the bottom of your wheels.
36:03Yeah.
36:04The reality is, quite often, there's a lot of, sort of, physics involved in trying to use things to get the best mechanical advantage and make the job a lot easier for yourself.
36:12And we're going to run out of panels on that trailer.
36:14Yeah.
36:15I've tried, I've tried right here, and I've cocked it up a couple of times.
36:18But I think now you've explained it, I've sort of got the general gist.
36:21Yeah.
36:25The teams start rigging for the lift by jacking the trailer up on airbags, so it's easier to pull the winch cables underneath.
36:36Yeah, same light.
36:38Guy ties them securely around the axles, hopefully, while the cranes are manoeuvring it to position.
36:48A set of winch controls are handed over to the newbie.
36:56Sound job.
36:58Bart, we've not told him this, but there's nearly one and a half million pounds worth of kit that he's operating there.
37:03So, yeah, there's a lot of pressure on his shoulders not to mess this up.
37:07Go on, what's the score?
37:09You've just got to look what you're doing all the time.
37:11Yeah, like, don't push a lever unless you can see what it's going to do.
37:15Yeah. That's it, really, like, and then you can't f*** up.
37:19Yeah. Come on.
37:21More inflatables support the trailer as it's lifted, while on the other side, crash bags will cushion the fall.
37:28But it's a windy day, so they need to be held in place by hand.
37:33More pressure for Guy.
37:34If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't have had him on it.
37:37You kind of have to have two guys in the danger zone, if you like.
37:41So, if you don't trust the people that controls the other side, then it's no good.
37:49Time to winch.
37:51If you winch up now.
37:53Yeah.
37:54Pat's controlling the crane on the left, and Guy's controlling the crane on the right.
38:03Oh, yeah, it's a bit quicker than that, isn't it?
38:05They need to lift perfectly in sync.
38:10Right, hold it there. I'll catch up with you.
38:12Yeah.
38:15Yeah, 1.6 tonne, 1.7 tonne, 1.8 tonne.
38:20In with the blue a bit.
38:22Learn another job.
38:24Yeah, you're alright, you're alright.
38:26So you reckon that's on the point of going? 1.6 tonne?
38:29Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll descend it.
38:37Good job.
38:39Well done, mate. You know the score, don't you?
38:42To be fair, from what, guys, from where we were at the beginning of the week
38:45to where we are now, our lads wouldn't even be at this stage now.
38:51None of these boys are university graduates.
38:56But they can make amazing things happen just by using common sense.
39:01And now they've got a trustworthy extra set of hands,
39:04the team decide to ramp things up by experimenting with a new technique
39:09for the very first time.
39:10Sometimes on a motorway, they're pushing you and pushing you and pushing you
39:15to keep lanes open and stuff like that.
39:17So what we want to show is possibly you might be able to do this
39:21in two lanes with a motorway rather than three.
39:26And you've never tried this? No, no.
39:27No, no.
39:29By using three wreckers,
39:32they think they can right the truck under control in mid-air.
39:40Are you ready? Yep.
39:41A successful lift depends on constant communication...
39:48In with the white.
39:50..to ensure nothing gets out of hand.
39:52Is that not getting a bit near your wagons?
39:59Yeah, that's all right.
40:00That wind got into that.
40:01That'll do some damage to the side of your motor.
40:04Oh, you're all right. It's coming up now.
40:05It's finding its centre, isn't it?
40:07Oh, you think it was just settling then?
40:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:09It was just settling.
40:11Inch by inch, they rotate the truck.
40:16Come out a touch, Jay.
40:19Out with the blue.
40:21I was going to say, what are we doing next?
40:22Are you ready? You've got it.
40:23Are you ready? Yeah, go on.
40:24In with the white.
40:27If the fan and I had to do something as quick, mate,
40:29I'd be knackered.
40:31Using the smallest possible footprint,
40:33the truck is now the right way round.
40:36It means a motorway lane alongside could stay open.
40:40Which means this lot have just created a revolution in recovery.
40:4599.9% of the population would not have a clue
40:49where to start doing that, would they?
40:52If we all lower down together now, I reckon.
40:53Yeah.
40:54Both down together.
40:57Give yourself a bit of credit, boys.
40:59What an amazing achievement.
41:01That's absolutely beautiful, that is.
41:02Happy?
41:03Very happy.
41:05That's awesome.
41:06I mean, I'm happy I didn't knack her out,
41:07which usually happens.
41:08So, thank you very much.
41:09No problem.
41:11Maybe he understood those physics after all.
41:14In any case,
41:15it's time to head back to the yard for the final time.
41:18And Jay has a treat lined up.
41:22Keys in it.
41:23It's what? Keys are in it.
41:24****.
41:27I'll have a go.
41:28It's the biggest gesture a truckie can make.
41:33Yeah, a guy of mine is the first person to have drove that truck apart from me, so, yeah.
41:39I'll just be steady away in this fight. I'll be bloody nervous.
41:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:42Yeah.
41:45And we're all the faith in you.
41:47But I'll take it, break it, and I'll break your legs.
41:57One of the best weeks I've ever had.
41:58Without a shadow of a doubt.
41:59We could put him in a truck tomorrow, I think.
42:04Hey, boy, boy, boy, I've learnt a load driving watching you.
42:07Really?
42:08Magic.
42:09Yeah.
42:10I grew up with me dad.
42:11Was he a dab hand?
42:12Oh, mate, honestly.
42:13One thing I'd say about me dad, he can drink and he can drive.
42:17Yeah.
42:19This is a very practical job for definitely practical people.
42:24It's puzzles and problem solving with Tonka Toys.
42:33Is that Danny B?
42:34That's Danny B.
42:38Could I do it? Would I do it?
42:40I'd love it.
42:42But I'd love it more if I was seeing the job through and fixing the problem.
42:45You know what I mean?
42:46We're dropping the problem off at a workshop for them to fix.
42:48Well, that's sort of what I want to do.
42:50That's what I want to do.
42:52Can I have a phone number, boy?
42:53Of course you can, yeah, yeah.
42:54Go on.
42:5507.
42:56Yeah.
42:57There you go.
42:58There we go.
42:59I've loved it, thanks very much.
43:00No, more than welcome, mate.
43:01And you're welcome back any time as well.
43:02Yeah?
43:03Yeah, yeah.
43:05It's definitely food for thought.
43:06They've said, if I want to come back, there's a job going.
43:09If you were me and we were in a bit of holiday relief, I'd be here like a shot.
43:12No question.
43:14Right, I've got your present.
43:16You've had me stinking your cab out for a few days, boy.
43:22Yeah.
43:23Right.
43:24Absolute pleasure, mate.
43:25You are the man.
43:26Thanks a lot.
43:27You are the man, Bob.
43:28Thank you very much.
43:29Yeah, lovely.
43:30Right, I'll have a look back at Grimsby, mate.
43:31That weather's coming, I think, innit?
43:32Take care.
43:33You've got nothing, innit?
43:34You've got nothing to do Before.
43:35Have a run of nothing, innit?
