On today’s episode of Murphys Diesel, Wrecker Rick sets out on one of the biggest road trips we’ve ever attempted—driving the infamous accidental military auction HETT (Heavy Equipment Transporter) over 2,000 miles back home. What started as an unbelievable military surplus purchase quickly turns into a cross-country adventure full of unexpected breakdowns, roadside repairs, and Murphy’s Law at every turn. With the entire Murphy family along for the ride, this isn’t just another road trip—it’s a true heavy-duty trucking adventure in one of the largest military vehicles ever featured on the channel. From electrical gremlins and failing lights to blown tires, oil leaks, and constant roadside repairs, every mile becomes a test of determination to keep this massive diesel machine rolling. Meanwhile, the brand-new Peterbilt Western Express is getting broken in as the girls’ chariot, serving as the support truck for this unforgettable big rig convoy. As they travel thousands of miles along Interstate 40, the family crosses state after state while facing mechanical problems that would sideline most truckers. This journey isn’t about recovering someone else’s vehicle—it’s about recovering our own dream purchase and proving this military HETT can survive the trip home. Whether you’re into trucking, heavy haul, massive military equipment, or watching real roadside repairs happen in the middle of nowhere, this episode has something for you. Will the HETT actually make it the full 2,000 miles, or will Murphy’s Law finally win? Every breakdown, every repair, and every mile keeps you guessing what will happen next.
