This year, nine women have agreed to show off their daily life behind the wheel of their truck. If they have chosen to evolve in this ultra-masculine world (women represent only 5% of the profession), it is because they are in love with freedom. “We tried to increase the success of the first season by relying on three pillars: originality is their job. These women drive 44 tonnes, sometimes up to 22 meters in length. It’s modern. in the processing, we tried to have a cut-throat cut like a fiction. And third, it’s authentic, we stay as close as possible in their cabin “, details Bruno Henriquet, president of Warner France, which produces this format from Germany.
“It’s docu-reality, we didn’t cast them to play a role, it’s their real life. Nothing is scripted.”

Bruno Henriquet is also the producer ofDeal concluded, the auction show that has been a hit in the afternoon on France 2 for five seasons. On January 25, the program will be entitled to a new prime time, in the form of time travel: “The idea was to make the concept evolve a little, to renew and anticipate the desires of viewers so as not to wear out the format. There, instead of being in a historic place, we travel even further through the time: each item sold will be placed back in time, with sets and costumes. We just shot, it was magical, I’ve never seen Sophie Davant so happy! ” exclaims Bruno Henriquet.
Warner France is also working on a return of the Bachelor or from The Bachelorette: “Since I said that I would like to relaunch the concept, channels have let me know that they were interested. It is becoming more and more concrete”, affirms Bruno Henriquet.
