Summaries

Funny, moving, painful and raucous, "Truckers" tells stories of ordinary people pushed to extremes. In this poignant mini-series, six truck drivers working for a haulage yard in Northern England undergo life-changing journeys.

Funny, moving, painful and raucous, Truckers tells stories of real life, of ordinary people pushed to extremes. In each episode one of our truckers undergoes a life changing journey and we are along for the ride. In an age when technology would make us seem ever more connected, the series uses the truck driver, alone in his cab, as a way to explore how isolated we can become within modern society and the importance of real human connection. These are powerful, moving stories, but the tone is always joyous and each story is one of redemption.
