Aired: 2/23/2016

Mike Cohnen and Daniel Schewe have a mammoth tour coming up. The destination of their journey is Norway. To make sure everything goes smoothly on the way, the asphalt cowboys have their trucks blessed by a trucker pastor at a truck yard. Thorsten Eckert can't complain about boredom either. In this episode, the lumber driver has his hands full, but suddenly his work equipment goes on strike. And in the Westphalian town of Hamm, the members of the "Children need our help" association get three fourty-ton trucks ready for the trip to Lithuania.

2. I won't come without a truck!

Piet Hackmann would never exchange his beloved gravel roads for dull warehouses. That's why his job is exactly to his taste: the asphalt cowboy transports peat and wood chips in this episode, but his shirt-sleeved colleagues sometimes don't take the permitted loading quantity too seriously. Meanwhile, Mike and Daniel enjoy beautiful nature on their tour to Norway and experience a trucker evening with Polish colleagues, which opens the eyes of the drivers from the Ruhr area.

Mike Cohnen and Daniel Schewe are struggling with an adventurous unloading point in Norway. The truckers are to deliver sewage pipes in the middle of a forest.

His new employee Christian is supposed to show what he can do. So Andreas lets him take the wheel of his beloved, pimped-out Scania.
