Meet the 12 TOUGH AS NAILS challengers competing on the new reality series that celebrates everyday Americans who get their hands dirty while working long, hard hours to keep the country running. The cast includes a welder, firefighter, farmer, roofer and a Marine Corps veteran, among others.

The crew takes on three additional challenges: they get down and dirty in their first team competition as they work to complete the missing part of a railroad track; they "punch in" for their initial individual test and the last two standing face off in a railroad overtime challenge.

Tensions run high during the team challenge when one crew has issues with communication while building a large fence on a farm.

Teams Savage Crew and Dirty Hands as they compete to fill and seal giant bags of sand. Then, another crew member's time in the individual competition will run out when the bottom two compete in an overtime challenge to fill a huge hourglass with sand.

Teams are challenged mentally and physically when tasked with pushing 24 heavy barrels up a hill and arranging them in a specific order at an oil field; one crew member must conquer a fear of heights to climb a telephone pole.

Teams compete in a "pack a moving van" challenge that requires speed and efficiency. In the elimination round, individual contestants rely on their strength and stamina to perform the challenge of collecting and loading trash into a moving garbage truck.
