I love Shipping Wars and I have no idea why. Thankfully, I’m not alone in my admiration for the trucking series, as evidenced by the fact that A&E is launching season four on June 11, 2013. The series returns with back-to-back episodes kicking off at 10pm ET/PT.
According to the network, three new teams will be competing with returning Shipping Wars players for shipping assignments.
Details on Season Four:
In the new season of Shipping Wars, Marc, Jarrett, Jennifer, Roy, Chris, and Robbie are back, and as always, no shipment is too strange or too problematic for these professionals to handle… but handling the new competition that is trying to break in to the bidding wars is a different story!
In the season premiere episode at 10pm, after Jarrett books a load of monkeys, he learns why people say “never work with kids or animals.” Marc delivers a load for a Las Vegas magician and more than his patience disappears. At 10:30pm, Chris and Robbie convert one of their rigs to run on vegetable oil and end up making a bet with the client- beat the tight, cross-country deadline and do it all on free grease. Roy tries to jumpstart his son Travis in the hauling business, but the cab gets cramped when Travis brings along a girlfriend and decades of baggage.
The new shipping teams that will be appearing this upcoming season include Courtney and Chelsea, Johnny, and Kourtney and Tish. Rookie movers Courtney and Chelsea may look like a pair of party girls, but their blonde hair and good looks are deceiving. The longtime friends grew up in a small country town raising livestock, working on ranches and getting their hands dirty, and they are not afraid of hard work, heavy lifting and long drives.
For veteran driver Johnny, shipping is in his blood. He knew that truck driving would be his career since he was a little boy, and nearly forty years later, he is still happy behind the wheel making extremely difficult shipments. Kourtney and Tish, a self-proclaimed power couple, have only a little over a year of experience in the shipping business, but Kourtney’s past as a UFC boxing champion has them ready to try to knock out the competition.
