1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,600
TREVOR: He definitely hit hard.
2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,200
NARRATOR: This time
on Heavy Rescue 401...
3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,720
I don't wanna stick
my head in there.
4
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,960
That's where the chain is.
5
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,480
..a pair of tangled trucks...
6
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,800
It's still going?
7
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,720
..ties up Chatham.
8
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,560
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
9
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,880
(TYRES SCREETCHING AND CRASH)
10
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,240
An icy night...
11
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,800
A very dangerous spot right now.
12
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,680
..puts Sonny in the firing line...
13
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,920
Everything going wrong.
14
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,880
..and Gary unveils...
15
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,040
Let's see what we can do.
16
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:27,360
..his newest weapon.
17
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Hold it. Whoa.
18
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,560
Near the western end of the 401,
19
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,800
a calm day on the roads
is winding down...
20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,960
..but with a blast
of Arctic weather on the way,
21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,000
drivers are in a hurry
to make it home...
22
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,080
..and on a dry road, impatient
drivers can take bad chances.
23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,560
I will say, probably,
24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,440
the worst accidents
we get are on clear days.
25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,160
On the 401 in Chatham-Kent,
26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,280
constable Shawn Eagan
is seeing some troubling signs.
27
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:24,200
These trucks here
were just right up tight.
28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,880
They see us coming,
now they backed up.
29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,640
They're supposed to be
three truck lengths apart.
30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,680
It's a necessary buffer
to prevent rear-end collisions.
31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,200
These are professional drivers.
32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,960
Just as the sun starts to set...
33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Yeah, we're getting off here, Jay.
Looks like they're shutting it down.
34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120
..Chatham Towing heavy op
Trevor Girard
35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,760
responds to a call on
the eastern edge of Chatham-Kent.
36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,440
We're headed out
to the 160-mile marker,
37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,680
pretty serious crash.
38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,480
This has been the third one today
in the same area.
39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,440
There's actually people turning
around in the middle of the 401.
40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,920
Turning around and coming
the opposite way in traffic,
41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,320
not a very smart move.
42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,600
We're running out of daylight
quick now.
43
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,320
Sometimes these recoveries,
44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,440
when you get that kind of build-up
of volume of traffic,
45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760
the hardest part is getting to
the accident safely.
46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,200
Oh, it's a pretty huge scene.
47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,840
They got the OPP command post out.
48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,680
You usually don't see that out here.
49
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Yeah, I don't know
what's going on here.
50
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Doesn't look like anything's
even started yet.
51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,240
There's been a collision between
two tractor-trailers,
52
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,680
one running into
the back of the other.
53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,680
Unfortunately, one party
has been deceased.
54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Oh, my god.
55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,440
He definitely hit hard.
56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,240
There's nothing left
of the compartment at all.
57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Just stand back, you know, out of
respect for the family, right?
58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,160
It's somebody's dad, or, you know,
59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,840
brother, or, you know,
somebody's husband, right? So...
60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,600
For Trevor, facing a death
on the road hits especially hard.
61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,360
My wife is a professional
truck driver.
62
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,160
She's been driving around
20 years now.
63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,680
Him and I met one day
when I broke down on the 401.
64
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,080
I needed a rescue.
65
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,480
He was my hero,
he was my rescue that day.
66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Fixed her up, got her off the road.
67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Best call I ever did.
68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Being married to somebody
69
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,600
who is a heavy rescue
tow truck driver,
70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,760
we both set out for work
first thing in the morning,
71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
and the ideal is that
we come home at the same time,
72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,560
at a reasonable time,
but on a day when it's bad,
73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,920
that doesn't happen.
74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Well, it makes you think, right?
75
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,480
It could happen to anybody.
76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,440
It, uh, it's hard.
77
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,240
You can't let it bother you.
78
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,480
You gotta get the job done,
you gotta get the road open.
79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,440
So while they wait for the police
to finish their investigation,
80
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240
the crew surveys the damage.
81
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:21,000
She's jammed in here so tight, eh?
82
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Trevor's boss, John Verkaik,
sees the first challenge right away.
83
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,400
It's gonna be ridiculously hard
for the two units to be separated.
84
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,080
Everything's twisted and locked up.
85
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,360
We're just trying to figure out
what we can hook to, right?
86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,320
When the garbage hauler hit the back
of the dunnage trailer,
87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,360
it literally intertwined everything.
88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,680
Trevor and John's son Jason
are in for a fight.
89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,920
Everything is just like
a big pretzel under there.
90
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,720
It's hooked right in there.
91
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200
On North America's busiest highway,
92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,440
closure...
93
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,840
..is not an option.
94
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,760
We're good.
95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,040
It's just before 8pm
96
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320
when the police finally
give the go-ahead.
97
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,360
Keep 'er going.
98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,880
The highway has now been shut
for over five hours.
99
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,120
The pressure is on the Chatham crew
to open the road fast.
100
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,640
This happened at 2:26pm.
101
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,600
It's now close to 8:00 at night,
102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,040
so it's our priority to get it open
as fast as we can.
103
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,240
There's probably 30,000 pounds
in that trailer.
104
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:45,960
Oh, it's steel.
I thought it was dunnage.
105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
No.
106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,720
It's gonna be tough
to pull 'em apart.
107
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,080
They're basically welded together.
108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,440
So they'll need some help.
109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Actually, Kori, you're good there.
Once he moves, I'll sneak by.
110
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,880
KORI: OK.
111
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Kori Wright will lead the crew
112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,920
from Wright's Towing
to recover the trailer in front.
113
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,160
Find the chain I want.
114
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,840
Chatham will work to clear
the garbage hauler in behind,
115
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:16,520
but first, they need to pry
the two transports apart.
116
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,160
If you pull ahead, swing over,
and just grab it,
117
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,600
take some pressure off it.
Lift a little bit.
118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,440
I'm gonna get my truck
a little closer,
119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,240
and they're gonna lift
with the rotator at the back.
120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Hey, Moses?
Can you grab that other chain?
121
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Trevor will lift on two lines
to the back of the trailer,
122
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,120
while Kori lifts on the front,
123
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,680
and uses the underlift
to slowly coax the semi forward.
124
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,160
OK, you're tight.
125
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,600
We good, Kori?
Yeah.
126
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,520
You gotta get it off the ground.
127
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,120
You gotta pick it up, Kori.
128
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
But the two semis are holding tight.
129
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
130
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,680
I'm not liking what I'm seeing here.
131
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,800
We gotta cut this ICC bumper,
I think.
132
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,200
It's digging into the ground.
133
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Somebody bring the saw over?
134
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,800
Get those axles so they're at least
a little movable.
135
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Stand back.
136
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,320
The guys have gotta see exactly
137
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,320
what is jammed
and where it is jammed,
138
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,640
and, of course, it's night-time.
139
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,200
It is very difficult.
140
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,520
The guys have got a challenge
on their hands.
141
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,560
She's free now.
She is.
142
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,560
That didn't work.
143
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,120
I've seen a lot of wrecks,
but this one here,
144
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,920
they're just holding together
just like glue.
145
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,720
Can we see where it's caught?
146
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,960
I don't want to stick
my head in there.
147
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,440
That's where the chain is.
Yeah, I know.
148
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,720
It's just unbelievable, actually.
149
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,920
You can see how high they lifted it,
over six feet,
150
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,800
and still nothing is coming loose.
151
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,160
We gotta figure out something quick.
152
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,320
We gotta get this road open.
153
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,880
200 miles east, the Arctic front
has already slammed into Toronto.
154
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,880
The sharp drop in temperature
is icing up roads across the city.
155
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,760
Sonny Subra is heading
to clear a stall
156
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760
on Highway 409
just east of the airport.
157
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,480
Freakin' cold.
158
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,080
The truck is straddling the edge
of the icy live lane.
159
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,000
A police cruiser will give Sonny
some protection from the traffic,
160
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,520
but without a blocker truck...
161
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,480
..he wants another set of eyes.
162
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,120
What's going on?
163
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,800
I know if I tell Deric,
"Go there", he will go.
164
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,440
He won't ask any questions.
165
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,880
10-4, 10-4.
166
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,360
That's the kind of co-worker,
colleague you need.
167
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,000
He's like my big brother.
168
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,600
He helped me big time
in the beginning.
169
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Deric, come on, let's go.
170
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Just like Sonny...
171
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,000
We're gonna lift with the tractor.
172
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
..Deric fled civil war in Sri Lanka,
173
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,080
and worked his way to a job
at Steve's Towing.
174
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,840
So we're gonna see how things
gonna go, Deric, OK?
175
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,960
Sonny took on the role of his mentor.
176
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,840
In the towing industry,
I learned most parts from Sonny.
177
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,760
I want to grow up one day
like Sonny.
178
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,960
That's good, Deric.
179
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,080
How are you, buddy?
180
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,760
This is a very bad spot
to stay here.
181
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,480
Now they've both found a place
at Prompt Towing,
182
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,400
and tonight, Deric will be
watching Sonny's back.
183
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Half in the live lane,
half in the shoulder.
184
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,480
It is a very dangerous spot.
185
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Yeah, go, go now.
186
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,680
Sonny will have to pull out
the drive shaft
187
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,760
to save the automatic
transmission...
188
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,960
That's it.
189
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,360
..spending more time
in this bad spot.
190
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,000
This is a very dangerous
part right now, yeah?
191
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,480
But what we gotta do,
we gotta do, right?
192
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,040
We gotta disconnect the drive shaft.
193
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,400
We gotta get it done.
194
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,720
I gotta go down...
195
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,880
Oh, my god.
196
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,000
Go, go, go.
197
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:07,880
Really cold, man.
198
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,680
You want me to give you a small one?
Yeah.
199
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,160

are frozen hard in place.

201
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,320

202
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,480
If this doesn't come out,
you are screwed.
203
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,760
You cannot move.
204
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,000
REPORTER: We have a stalled
tractor-trailer in a live lane,
205
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,280
a little tough to see,
206
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,760
so please slow down if you are
heading towards that area.
207
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,320
On the edge of Highway 409...
208

(GROANING)
209
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,280
..Sonny is still fighting
with the stubborn drive shaft...
210

Ooh...
211
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,920
Yeah, go.
212
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,400
..and traffic on the icy road
is not letting up.
213
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,640
It's not about my safety now.
214
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,080
Deric's safety, too.
215
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,320
Yeah, it's coming.
OK, that's good.
216
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,040
That's good, that's good.
Yeah, it came out.
217
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,040
(BLEEP).
218
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,120
Even as Sonny loosens the bolts,
219
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,720
the drive shaft
stays frozen in place.
220
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,680
(GRUNTING)
Oh, my god.
221
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,400
Sonny needs a second pair of hands.
222
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,880
OK, lift it up.
223
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,720
Deric come underneath
and give me a hand.
224
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,680
It's coming out?
225
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,960
Is it good?
226
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,160
OK.
227
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,120
When we get that drive shaft out,
we are so happy.
228
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,240
That's it.
229
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,560
Good to go?
We're good to go.
230
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,920
We put our hard work in the cold,
he get the tractor-trailer out.
231
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,000
That was a really happy moment,
you know?
232
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,160
He come and give me a hand.
233
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,320
I feel like it's everything
gonna come along
234
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,920
is really good in this year.
235
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,920
Me and Sonny did this.
236
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520
Back at the western end of the 401...
237
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,000
TREVOR: Easy.
238
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,000
..the Chatham crew
has made multiple attempts
239
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,480
to wrangle apart the two semis.
240
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,760
JOHN: We've tried to pull it
and everything else,
241
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,520
and it's just impossible.
242
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,680
Keep it going.
243
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,120
The boys have got a job
on their hands
244
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320
trying to figure out where to pull,
and when to release it.
245
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,920
JASON: Hey, Trev?
TREVOR: Yeah?
246
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,600
Can you use your auxiliary
a little more?
247
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,880
Yeah.
248
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,160
We got to figure out
something quick,
249
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,120
because the 401's been shut down
all day already.
250
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,200
Jason finally gets a look
at just what's hanging on so hard.
251
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,160
JASON: It's the entire radiator
that's up in there.
252
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,480
Can we cut it?
253
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,080
No, because I think
we're going to get caught
254
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,480
on this back rail here.
255
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,840
Like, it's up and in.
256
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,760
It's difficult to see.
There's so much junk in there.
257
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,880
Trevor will have to change up
his rigging.
258
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,640
So If I take the auxiliary
to the back leg and under...
259
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,760
Let's try that.
260
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Can we hook it to that piece
over there?
261
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,560
It's going to pull it over, right?
262
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,160
It's just like
holding them together.
263
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,840
One way or another,
we've got to get them apart.
264
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,000
Hey, Kori?
Try to go ahead a little bit, Kori.
265
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,120
KORI: OK.
266
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,880
TREVOR: Easy.
KORI: Be real easy.
267
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Trevor's banking on the new line
to add some lift in the right spot.
268
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,640
JOHN: Watch it, she's moving, eh?
269
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,200
Trevor's running the rotator,
270
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,840
and he's lifting the back
of the trailer.
271
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,840
TREVOR: Can you keep pulling, Kori?
272
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,400
JASON: At the same time,
273
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,760
Kori's pulling
the dunnage trailer forward.
274
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,200
Inch it forward, inch it up,
inch it forward, inch it up.
275
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,160
TREVOR: Easy.
276
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,240
OK.
277
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,200
JOHN: You still going?
278
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,080
TREVOR: Don't stop.
279
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,560
JASON: There she goes.
280
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:35,920
TREVOR: Keep going.
281
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,960
Good, stop.

of the night...
283
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,040
JOHN: Man, that was jammed
underneath that, man.
284
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,520
TREVOR: She's all yours.
285
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,720
..but as Kori Wright pulls
the semi forward...
286
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,200
CREW: Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
287
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,240
TREVOR: Hey.
288
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,400
Good. We got to get hooks.
289
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,440
The axles on the dunnage
trailer were hit so hard
290
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,600
that they broke right out
of their perches,
291
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,960
and now the tires are jammed
right into each other.
292
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,760
She's right touching there, eh?
293
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,600
Yeah, yeah,
it's back up against it now.
294
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,320
JASON: I really wish
that wouldn't have happened.
295
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,240
We're going to have to do
something else
296
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,440
so the wheels can roll.
297
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,520
With the axles torn free,
the brakes are locked.
298
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,720
There's no possible way
we can get cage bolts in here,
299
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,640
and the air lines
are all ripped off.
300
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,120
The two crews need to find some way
to limp the semi off the highway...
301
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,080
You know, the pressure's on.
Everybody wants this road open now.
302
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:41,960
OK, well, I'm going to grab
my mini torches here, so...
303
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,760
Yeah.
..and Kori has an idea.
304
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,920
Now we got to cut the brake rods
305
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,880
so we can hopefully
free up some tires.
306
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,800
It will free up the brakes...
307
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,640
but the trailer is still
sitting on the wheels,
308
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,000
weighing them down.
309
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,760
It's definitely going to be a drag.

00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Is it going to pull it straight,
or should we do two?

00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,480
We'll find out.
We're on an angle, so...

00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,240
Nothing's where it should be.
347
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Hoping we can find
the perfect balance point,
348
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,600
and things stay together.
349
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,320
I went around the spring
and all that,
350
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:51,800
hoping it's going to hold the axle,
or most of it, together,
351
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,000
but in reality, stuff's probably
still going to fall.
352
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:01,440
Want to cut those lines?
353
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,040
TREVOR: Yeah, I'd rather cut it
than jar it.
354
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Fred, there's bolt cutters,
right there.
355
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,560
Yeah, in here.
356
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,760
There...
357
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:13,600
Aluminium...
358
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,440
It's always a big deal
when you're cutting stuff off
359
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,040
of something
that's hanging in the air.
360
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,080
Come on.
361
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,240
Yo.
362
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:23,760
You don't know
if it's going to throw
363
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,920
what's above you out of kilter,
364
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,560
and, could it come down?
365
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,440
There she goes.
366
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:41,880
You're going to have
to drop the back.
367
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,160
TREVOR: Yeah...
368
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,400
JASON: Ain't that nice?
369
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,560
We've got
the chassis itself loaded.
370
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Probably within an hour,
the whole road will be open.
371
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,240
The victory...
372
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Hold it a sec.
373
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,040
We got the fuel pouring out.
374
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,480
..is short-lived.
375
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,280
JASON: Is it still a line?
376
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,720
TREVOR: Nope.
377
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,320
For (BLEEP) sakes.
378
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:03,600
(GRUNTING)
379
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,800
Right there.
380
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,040
(GROANS) Next thing you know,
we got fuel.
381
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,360
On a scale of one to ten
382
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,640
on how much I want
to get out of here,
383
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,000
we're looking at a 15.
384
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,560
(GRUNTING)
385
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,720
Right there.
386
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,720
On the eastbound 401
in Chatham-Kent...
387
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,960
You got any wood or anything?
388
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Uh...
389
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,720
I feel like the Dutch kid
with his hand in the dike.
390
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,240
..the Chatham Towing crew
is scrambling
391
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,720
to plug a major diesel leak.
392
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,880
The pressure's huge.
393
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,320
Every county road is blocked.
394
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,880
Every main two-lane highway
is blocked.
395
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,440
I'll get you a hammer.
396
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,520
So the crew improvises
with the materials on hand.
397
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,880
Just going to jam
some wood in it.
398
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Got some...
399
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,360
Whatever you call it, cattails,
or whatever they are.
400
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,880
We don't have time
to do anything else,
401
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,680
so we're going to do what we can
to stop the leak
402
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,800
and get it off the road.
403
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,560
There's one.
404
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,600
You just jam it full,
405
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,640
and it soaks up some diesel fuel,
and it seals.
406
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,080
Remember what I said about you just
have to think outside the box?
407
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,240
Almost ten hours after the crash,
408
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,800
the crew is ready to clear out
so the road can reopen.
409
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,800
It gave us a little bit
of troubles here and there,
410
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,600
but all in all,
I chalk it up to a win.
411
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,480
Grab me a couple wire ties
out of the tool box?
412
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,560
Feels pretty good.
It's a pretty big job.
413
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,240
Just get her open,
and make everybody happy.
414
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,080
It's only second time
we've actually worked with Wright's.
415
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,040
For not knowing each other
and how they operate,
416
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,440
I think things went very good.
417
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,320
It's a success,
but for Trevor, not a celebration.
418
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,240
Somebody lost their life.
419
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,120
You know the ride home,
420
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,800
you're going to be thinking
about it.
421
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,880
Thank god you don't come across
these jobs every day,
422
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,280
but, you know, when you do,
423
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,880
you'll always remember it,
right?
424
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,040
You'll never forget it.

150 miles northeast,
427
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,440
the cold front
has taken hold of Toronto.
428
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,720
I find this time of night,
429
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,440
there's a lot of small trucks
who are out there...
430
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,480
On the 401 just west of the city,
431
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,720
Sergeant Tim Sturgeon is on the move.
432
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,080
Well, I'm going to be doing
quick truck stops
433
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:41,200
looking for basically
documentation.
434
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,680
We're not really doing
any inspections,
435
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,640
unless I find something
really badly wrong.
436
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,000
Now the weather's getting worse,
437
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,840
if I get involved in something
which is prolonged,
438
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,960
and another call comes in
which is a priority,
439
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,040
I am now stuck
on doing an inspection
440
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,360
instead of answering
calls for crashes.
441
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Sergeant Sturgeon quickly finds
442
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,600
the kind of problem
he was hoping to avoid.
443
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Nope, no lights.

446
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:22,400
Oh.
447
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,120
Can I see your licence
and trip insurance, please?
448
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,320
..and the registration, insurance.
449
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,680
It should be in the vehicle.
450
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,840
If the tail lights
weren't bad enough,
451
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,560
the driver has none
of the critical paperwork.
452
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,840
We're going to get off the highway,
453
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,520
and we're going to do
an inspection on your truck.
454
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,840
Getting him off the highway
is safety for everyone, myself,
455

the people I'm doing the test for,
456
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,840
and for the other public.
457
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,880
Put your brakes on.
458
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,760
Brake.
459
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,760
OK, left indicator, left turn.
460
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,400
Brake lights and turn signals
are working...
461
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,280
Right.
..but the tail lights are dead.
462
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,840
So, what you need to do now,
you get onto the phone to your boss,
463
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,880
and let him know you need
a mechanic here
464
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,120
to put the lights on,
465
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,440
and get them fixed
before you can drive,
466
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,800
because your lights are not working.
467
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,640
He has no paperwork
with the vehicle,
468
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,320
so that's an offense itself.
469
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:11,720
So, I've got three tickets here.
470
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,520
OK.
Only one for you.
471
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,400
I've given some tickets
to the owner of the vehicle.
472
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,360
For the driver, I just give him
a straightforward ticket
473
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,680
for driving with a major defect.
474
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,880
He got off very lightly.
475
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,080
They know the rules.
476
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,560
They know they have to carry
the paperwork.
477
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,160
They know they have to do
the inspections,
478
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,120
and also word gets around
to other companies
479
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,880
that the police are actually
giving out tickets.
480
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,440
It might make them think
before they do something wrong.

on top of a guardrail.

00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Split the fuel tank,
did a whole bunch of damage.
494
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,040
This is a little bigger job
than what we had thought.
495
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,120
If it's on the guardrail,
496
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,560
we risk splitting another fuel tank,

to Preferred's fleet.

00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,360
(HORN HONKING)
522
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,600
GARY: Here she comes.
523
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,120
..and just a week ago,
the big day finally came.
524
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,720
She's home. (CHUCKLES)
525
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,240
First big truck in our fleet
that we've ordered to spec,
526
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,520
so it's kind of special,
it's kind of neat.
527
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,160
Just got to get it out on the road
and make some money with it.
528
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,080
Well, what do you think?
529
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,480
It's like a trophy
going down the road.
530
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,760
It's beautiful. (LAUGHS)
531
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,360
GARY: Got a lot
of traffic backed up.
532
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,280
Got to get this highway open.
533
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,360
After just a few days of practice
in the yard,
534
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:59,120
tonight is a test for the new rotator
and its new operator.
535
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,480
It's pretty technical.
536
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,000
It's a whole new, you know,
piece of equipment to learn.
537
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Let's see what we can do.
538
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,720
On the 402 in Strathroy...
539
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,240
..Kyle Pewtress has opened up a path
for trapped drivers...
540
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,000
KYLE: We can move these guys
outta here now.
541
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,040
MAN: OK.
542
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,880
KYLE: OK,
we're sending traffic through.
543
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,280
GARY: Just coming up on Kyle there.
544
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,960
..and his boss, Gary,
has just rolled up
545
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,080
to join the battle.
546
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,160
GARY: OK, let's see what we got.
547
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,640
Here's this length of guardrail.
Right.
548
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Maybe I can just reach across,
pick it over.
549
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,800
Why don't you spin around, then?
550
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Come around to the front of it...
Yep.
551
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,640
..and I'll just lift and rotate it
over a little bit.
552
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,640
Let's get it off the highway,
let's get it open.
553
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,560
Gary will use the new rotator
554
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,720
to carefully lift the trailer up
and over the guardrail
555
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,040
while Kyle pulls it forward.
556
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,680
Too many damn controls
on this truck.
557
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,960
Gary's working with a new truck
that he's not familiar with.
558
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,720
There's a little element
of cautiousness.
559
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,120
I've been working the kinks
out of it,
560
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,320
but she's been working OK.
561
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,080
I'm sure I'm still gonna have
a few hiccups with it.
562
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,960
I'm just booming out right now,
563
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,840
getting the rotator
into position here.
564
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Kyle's just kind of
guiding me into place.
565
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,680
Pretty close to centre there.
566
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,200
Finessing is everything,
getting this swung over.
567
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,960
GARY: I gotta boom it up
a little bit.
568
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,640
We need it to stay straight,
569
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,360
just pick it up, move it over,
set it down.
570
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,360
It's delicate work,
571
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,880
and Gary is still getting a feel
for the new controls and winches.
572
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,120
It's a nervous feeling
being the operator.
573
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,240
I don't want to rupture
the other fuel tank.
574
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,320
A lot of sharp metal back there.
575
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,800
It could open it up pretty easy.
576
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,440
OK, let's give that a little pull,
Kyle.
577
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,880
Just gonna boom it in a bit.
578
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,160
There she comes.
579
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,160
There she comes.
580
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,520
We off there, Kyle?
581
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560
OK, looks like we got it clear
of that guardrail.
582
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,760
This new rotator,
nice to have along for this job.
583
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,960
But the night isn't over.
584
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,040
He hit the bridge?
He didn't hit the bridge.
585
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,120
He stopped, but he can't back it up.
586
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,000
They've just gotten word
587
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,160
the OPP needs them
to tackle another job.
588
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,640
We've got a fuel tanker,
589
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,200
he's gone down
one of the side roads.
590
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,920
He was diverted from this accident,
and he's stuck.
591
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,880
Kyle's going to pull it
a little bit further forward,
592
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,040
and then I'll go get this guy
from the bridge.
593
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,080
OK, you do what you gotta do
to get this highway open.
594
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,120
It's gonna be a busy night.
595
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,800
We'll just keep up with the pace
if we can.
596
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,360
Back in Toronto,
597
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,720
weather and roads
have been getting worse for hours.
598
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,120
REPORTER: OPP actually suggesting
if you don't have to travel,
599
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,680
it might be a good idea not to.
600
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,720
The conditions right now
is very dangerous.
601
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,400
Sonny's heading to answer
an urgent call...
602
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,840
SONNY: Whoa.
603
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,640
..a customer trapped in his truck
on a side road northwest of the city.
604
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,600
..but there's no other choice
for us.
605
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,640
We have to go.
606
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Everything whiteout!
607
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,440
The roads are iced,
608
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,200
but I'm slowly driving,
going, going...
609
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,560
The quickest route
is straight down this back road,
610
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,840
but as Sonny approaches
the next intersection...
611
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,360
Boom.
612
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,560
There's a police car
blocking the roadway.
613
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,560
This is the last thing I need.
614
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,760
Officer said, "Listen,
we are not allowing nobody
615
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,240
"into this area."
616
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,280
Police, tow service,
nobody going there.
617
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,560
Everything shut down.
618
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,000
I don't know, man.
I don't know...
619
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,920
This is going to take a while.
620
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:01,480
Northwest of Toronto,
621
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Sonny's mapped out a roundabout route
to reach his stranded client.
622
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,400
We are here to help them out.
623
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,360
But navigating
an unploughed side road
624
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,040
in this whiteout is a risk.
625
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,240
It's not about me anymore,
626
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,760
it's my family, my son.
627
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:30,280
I see you guys. I see you guys.
628
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,320
I am coming.
629
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,920
The box truck is stuck off-road
in a field,
630
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,720
unable to gain traction.
631
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,960
That's my customer,
I had to get them out.
632
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,320
Snow is piled up, oh, my god.
633
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,280
Freezing, windy!
634
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,400
With traffic just a few feet away
on the slippery road,
635
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,520
Sonny doesn't want to take
a minute more than necessary.
636
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680
He'll have to reposition
for a better angle.
637
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,360
And now, he'll have to move
right into the path of traffic
638
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,080
to finish the pull.
639
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,120
When you drive down on the road,
you cannot see 5m in front of you,
640
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,280
and then, like,
blowing snow and freezing.
641
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,200
The road are iced up.
642
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,280
You have to be really careful.
643
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,840
Keep the steering straight!
644
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,280
But tonight, cautious drivers
are giving him room to work.
645
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,640
Traffic, everything stop.
That's a really good help for me.
646
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,320
Oh, come on, now.
647
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,480
OK, neutral, neutral!
648
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,720
After everything done,
you feel so proud yourself.
649
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,400
MAN: You take care, man.
OK.
650
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,680
MAN: This is bad weather, right?
Yeah.
651
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,960
They are so happy.
They really wanted to go home.
652
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,240
But after almost a full day
on the job,
653
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,920
Sonny's trip home will have to wait.
654
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,840
Back on the 402...
655
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,120
..westbound traffic is crawling
toward a detour route...
656
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,920
We'll get this moving
and open real quick for you.
657
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,880
..and just down that detour route,
Gary is sizing up a new job.
658
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,840
GARY: Getting around on the road
shouldn't be too bad.
659
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,160
The tanker B-train diverted
off the highway,
660
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,520
and got stuck on the side road.
661
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,520
How you doing?
662
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,840
Good, you empty, or you full?
663
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,680
Highway gets shut down,
these guys get diverted.
664
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:40,000
Now they're dealing with the weather
and unfamiliar roads.
665
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,920
Leave it in neutral,
and you're gonna steer back.
666
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,280
Don't worry about the back one,
I'll take care of that.
667
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,320
OK?
668
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,600
Gary must ease
the two pivoting trailers
669
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:56,040
back off the side road,
with the driver steering in reverse.
670
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,600
We'll work together kind of
in unison,
671
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,360
but I'm not sure
if he can steer it or not.
672
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,480
Most people have a hard time
backing their car
673
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,640
out of a parking spot,
674
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,120
now add on a truck, a trailer,
and an additional trailer.
675
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,840
It's pretty complicated.
676
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,440
It's just a sheet of ice out here.
677
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,720
Just gotta make sure
we roll nice and easy,
678
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,480
and keep him out of the ditch.
679
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,800
Straighten your wheel.
680
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:34,520
(GROANING)
681
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,080
This guy's now going in the ditch
on his own.
682
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,840
Hold it, whoa!
683
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,360
You need to start
getting this trailer this way a bit.
684
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,960
On an icy side road off the 402...
685
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,360
DRIVER: Me not back.
686
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,000
Yeah, you don't know how to back up?
DRIVER: Yeah.
687
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:58,360
..Gary's efforts to back the B-train
off the road have gone off-side.
688
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,480
(GARY GROANS)
689
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,960
Gary must unhook
to let the driver pull forward
690
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,880
back onto level ground,
691
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,360
but he's losing faith
in the driver's ability to reverse.
692
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,640
I think this driver
hasn't been at this very long.
693
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,960
His inexperience at this
694
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
really isn't helping me
get this off this road.
695
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,360
Yeah, a little frustrating.
696
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,560
It's tough, these guys...
some of these guys can't back up,
697
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,520
but, you know,
they're in a truck like this
698
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,120
instead of trains,
you gotta know how to do it.
699
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,720
OK, pull her forward.
Straighten your wheel.
700
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,600
Good.
701
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,520
Good. Whoa, stop.
702
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Now, I'm gonna just
back this up myself.
703
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,600
With no other option,
704
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,240
Gary will put himself
in the driver's seat.
705
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,840
I'm gonna have to be
the rotator operator
706
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,920
and the driver of the truck,
707
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,400
and I'm gonna have to get this thing
up onto the roadway.
708
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,640
He'll have to back up
as far as he can,
709
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,240
and then switch over
to the winches...
710
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,280
GARY: And find reverse
in this puppy.
711
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,280
..keeping the tractor
and both trailers straight,
712
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,400
and on the narrow road.
713
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,720
It's a tough job to get this thing
to back up straight.
714
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,440
You turn one way,
it goes another.
715
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,280
I can literally see
the end of the road.
716
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,320
Pull him one more time,
get him straight.
717
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,520
Time to let his new pride and joy
take over for the final stretch.
718
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,360
I'm getting a feel
for the new truck,
719
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,400
so it's kinda nice.
720
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,840
It's a nice machine. (CHUCKLES)
I really like it, so...
721
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,160
..getting comfortable.
722
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,120
Reaching the home stretch.
723
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:08,720
Perfect.
724
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,680
He's free. He should be able
to drive her forward now.
725
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,720
As long as he doesn't go down
another road like that,
726
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,760
he'll be alright.
727
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:19,760
Victory!
728
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:21,600
Finally, it's done.
729
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,800
It's been a long night,
ready to go home.
730
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,320
It wasn't the biggest job
of the winter,
731
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,880
but it's a sign that Gary
and the new rotator
732
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,320
are headed in the right direction.
733
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,080
It's pretty exciting
to have this truck
734
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,200
come into the fleet.
735
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:40,840
Really handles the job well, right?
It's a beast.
736
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:41,880
(HORN HONKS)
737
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,560
Gonna call it a night,
or a morning, I guess,
738
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:50,920
it's about 4am.
739
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,120
Another three hours,
sun will come up, and who knows?
740
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,160
