There's an emergency in Nottinghamshire when the ground gives way beneath a tipper truck fully loaded with stone aggregate. By the time Operations Manager Steve arrives on the scene, the truck is hanging precariously over a six-foot ditch.

The incident has taken place on a notorious stretch of road and Steve has serious concerns for other drivers. Police are called in to organise a road closure while Steve calls for back up to help haul the lorry to safety. When colleagues Lee and Dave arrive with their recovery trucks the race is on to save the stricken tipper. Steve sends Lee's wrecker to the lorry's flank to lift it with a set of straps while Dave heads to the rear to haul the lorry out backwards. But once the lorry is upright Steve changes strategy. The safer option is to pull the lorry out forwards but to accomplish that the lads will need to set up a special winch and use a large tree as an anchor to carry out a complicated reverse pull. Lee holds the truck steady, Dave sets the winch in motion and the challenge is on.

Meanwhile in Middlesbrough, Dave has a task on his hands when the number 63 bus to Redcar gets grounded on a grassy verge. Dave needs to carry out a tricky reversing manoeuvre to winch the bus off the verge. Things get complicated when a swarm of motorists attempt to overtake.

Elsewhere, Daniel needs to get his hands dirty when a delivery truck is damaged after a collision with a car. The steering and brakes are both out of action, and roadside repairs are needed to get the wheels turning. Twenty-five miles away, Daniel's colleague Sean faces a mechanical mystery when a dust cart grinds to a halt in Hertfordshire.
