In Northumberland bad weather causes an emergency on the A1 involving an 18-ton truck. Plus, a tricky recovery on the 17th fairway of a golf course when a beer truck grinds to a halt.

Lantern recovery op Stuart has been tasked with rescuing a 26-tonne sewage tanker, fully loaded with waste material, that has got its nearside wheels wedged in a drainage ditch down a narrow muddy track. On top of having barely any room to manoeuvre, the tanker's tilting dangerously to one side, so Stuart must try and get the monster back onto solid ground without it toppling over.

In the Midlands, Crouch op Steve must try and rescue a mammoth 44-tonne artic that's got trapped in a water-filled ditch after the driver attempted to pass through flood water. Helped by fellow recovery op Dan, they attempt to haul it out using the winch. But no sooner have they got to work, than another truck attempting to avoid the flood water gets itself into trouble a few feet up the road. Could another recovery be on the cards before the boys can clock off for the day?

In the North East, Alpha op Aidan has been given the job of recovering a chunky tractor unit and trailer with handbrake problems, that's stuck at a busy service station. But with a huge truck to its side and another in front, Aidan faces the unenviable task of trying to rescue the casualty from an incredibly tight spot.

And south of Newcastle, a truck fully loaded with heavy industrial machinery has got itself jammed in forward gear. The casualty is stranded on a busy carriageway and it's up to Alpha op Kev to recover it. But when he discovers its prop shaft is the full length of the wagon and weighs more than him, Kev knows this won't be a simple lift and shift.
