Heavy-Duty Hauling: Long-Haul Runs with 100-Ton Behemoths

[Urban slice of life + career-focused + oversized cargo transport + ensemble cast + documentary-style road story + educational]

Su Chen is a newly hired recorder for oversized cargo transportation.

His job is to travel with the convoy and document every stage of an oversized load’s journey, from loading to delivery.

His first assignment is a 35-ton transformer: two trucks, six people, and 300 kilometers of provincial highway.

He thinks that must be the limit.

Until later

A 70-meter wind turbine blade has to make a turn on a mountain road. He squats by the roadside eating steamed buns while watching a veteran driver make a turn with millimeter precision.

A 200-ton nuclear power pressure vessel has to cross a bridge. He watches an engineering crew reinforce it with steel beams on the spot.

A rocket fuselage has to be brought into the city. Police close the roads along the entire route, and a toll booth is dismantled and then rebuilt. He fills three notebooks in the passenger seat.

There’s no System and no golden finger.

All they have is the smell of diesel, steering wheels, instant noodles at roadside service areas in the middle of the night, and a crew of transport workers who make the impossible possible.

This is the story of the giants of the road.
