Warheads and Gearheads is the eleventh episode of the third season of Shipping Wars and it follows the journey of five shippers as they compete to transport unique and oversized items across the United States. In this episode, the bidders are challenged with transporting two different types of cargo: military warheads and auto parts.
First up is Marc who wins the bid to transport two military warheads from a National Guard site in Mississippi to a city in Texas. The warheads are loaded onto a flatbed trailer and secured with specialized straps to prevent any movement during transport. Marc faces several challenges on his journey, including navigating through narrow roads and dealing with the authorities at various checkpoints. He also faces a time crunch as the warheads need to be delivered on schedule as per the military regulations. Will Marc be able to successfully deliver the cargo and earn a handsome profit?
Next, Jennifer wins the bid for a haul of auto parts from Miami to Dallas. The auto parts are being shipped on behalf of a racing team and include everything from engines and wheels to exhaust systems. Jennifer’s bid is particularly challenging as the cargo is spread out across multiple locations in Miami and she has to coordinate with different suppliers to pick up the parts. Jennifer also has to transport the goods through hurricane zones, and her team has to work together to protect the cargo from any damage or weather-related hazards. Will Jennifer be able to deliver the parts on time and earn a profit?
Meanwhile, Roy wins the bid for transporting a custom car from San Antonio to an auction in Las Vegas. The car is a rare model of a 1950s classic sports car, and Roy’s team is excited to transport it. However, they soon realize that the car’s roof is too low to fit on a regular trailer, and they have to improvise a solution to transport the car safely. Roy’s team faces several challenges en route, including engine trouble and traffic delays. Will Roy be able to deliver the car to the auction on time and make a profit?
Jarrett is also on the road, transporting a motorcycle from Georgia to California. The motorcycle is a custom-built beauty, and Jarrett is excited to show it off in his trailer to the other shippers. However, he soon realizes that transporting a motorcycle isn’t as easy as he thought. The bike isn’t secured properly in the trailer, and Jarrett has to keep stopping to check on it. He also faces several logistical issues, including navigating through busy city streets and avoiding low bridges. Will Jarrett be able to transport the motorcycle safely across the country?
Finally, newcomer Dusty is on his first ever shipment as a ‘rookie’ shipper. He has won the bid for transporting a pair of jet skis from Texas to Ohio. Dusty is nervous and inexperienced, and his inexperience shows as he tries to secure the jet skis in his trailer. He also faces major challenges on his way, including navigation issues, breakdowns, and running into bad weather. Will Dusty be able to manage the shipment and emerge successful in his first-ever haul?
In conclusion, Warheads and Gearheads is a thrilling episode that showcases the challenges and thrills of transporting unique cargo across the country.
