Episode 8: Jennifer's Arch
Jennifer may have taken her livestock specialty too far when she tops the transporters in an auction to ship a number of small animals.

Jarrett outbids Marc in the competition to haul a go-kart in the shape of a miniature semi-tractor trailer.

When it comes to the biggest and baddest loads, Marc can't help but throw his hat in the ring. Fighting off Scott and Susie, he lands the job hauling a 1928 train caboose.

Pushing the limits, this load could make him a small fortune, or sink his ship before he makes it across the country.
Episode 4: Cash for Tanks

Roy books a complicated Linotype machine, and things get really complicated when he thinks he breaks it in route-but with his skill and welder, he hopes to set things right.
