Plot Synopsis

Eight of the world's most experienced truck drivers go head to head in some of the harshest environments on Earth, as they compete in elimination challenges and vie for the $150,000 grand prize. Each journey/challenge lasts three days and contestants must face unusual cargo, massive rigs, lethal roads and each other. From transporting cattle through the desolate, sun baked roads of the Australian Outback to carrying fragile loads through the icy, treacherous Indian Himalayas, these drivers, who hail from around the world, must avoid slow times and penalties to stave off elimination. Discovery aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Monday, February 13, 2012 at 10pm ET/PT.
