6ter Airs Two New Episodes of ‘Les reines de la route’ Following Female Truck Drivers Across Europe

Les reines de la route on 6ter, Digi Mart USA News (France): French channel 6ter continues its immersion behind the wheel of heavy trucks with two episodes of “Les reines de la route” airing Tuesday, November 17. The first episode begins at 9:10 p.m., followed by a second part around 11:30 p.m.

The series follows women who pilot 44-tonne trucks on roads in France and across Europe. The program is described as a field documentary without staging, portraying a demanding profession that remains largely male-dominated.

The show follows female truck drivers through their daily routines, including long-distance runs, regional deliveries, nights spent in the cab and precision maneuvers. The camera follows these professionals as they handle snow, fog, black ice, mechanical breakdowns and loading delays, each requiring composure and skill.

The episodes feature a gallery of women of different ages and backgrounds, united by a passion for driving and the sense of freedom the road provides. The source describes the series as showing the physical, solitary and deeply human reality of the work, far from stereotypes.

“Les reines de la route” premiered in early 2021 and quickly became one of 6ter’s flagship programs. According to the publisher, its first season set audience records for the channel and topped the TNT channel rankings in its time slot.

The series has returned season after season with an honest documentary approach that gives its subjects the voice and the wheel.

The publisher argues the series also documents a social change. Road transport has long been associated with a male image but is gradually opening to more varied profiles.

The program covers the drivers’ motivations, which in some cases involve career changes and in others long-held vocations, as well as the pride they take in work offering full autonomy. It also shows real industry constraints, including long hours, distance from family and deadline pressure.

Viewers can watch on 6ter on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 9:10 p.m., with the second episode around 11:30 p.m. The program is categorized as an immersive documentary.
