Original subtitles

BILL SNR: Pretty messed up, that's for sure.

MALE NARRATOR: This time on Heavy Rescue 401...

I don't want to take a chance.

..B&G...

Watch out, guys. ..battles gravity.

COLLIN: Ain't no rest for the wicked!

Collin's comeback...

Stay in sync. ..hits a roadblock...

Come on! KYLE: I'm lifting my truck.

ALLISTER: I consider it pretty dangerous.

BUBBA: It's showtime.

..and double tanker, double danger.

AMIN: This is gonna be a hard pull, man.

We could have a huge environmental disaster on our hands.

WOMAN ON RADIO: A snowy mess out there.

We've got several collisions making things

really tricky to get around.

A snowy night in Toronto

is turning into a busy night for maintenance crews

and first responders.

KERRY: Blowing snow, reduced visibility.

Snow is accumulating on the highway.

The ploughs and salters have been out,

but we just need drivers to really think about

their driving behaviour

and drive according to the conditions.

On the 401 just west of Yonge,

plough crews are fighting to keep the highway clear.

Impatient drivers aren't helping.

KEVIN: You've got to be very careful,

but everybody's in a hurry,

and they want to rip past me,

and we can squash them like a tomato.

RON: You can send that transfer.

My role is to hold traffic back

so that we don't get cars in between the ploughs.

If you see the echelon

when you're coming onto the highway,

I'm going to be chasing you down.

Oh, my, got a car up there.

This guy's trying to pass the ploughs.

That guy's so dangerous.

So now I have to speed up,

and ease him over to the left.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Holy!

He was so close to being hit by a plough.

Did you see that guy trying to race me?

NARRATOR: As the crews push on,

they get an urgent warning

from east of the city...

Close Courtice Road down? What's going on there?

Truck hanging over the bridge.

BILL SNR: This is a big deal.

And it's a big problem for Bill Wright.

We're going to try and get rigged up

and get the truck off the wall as quick as we can.

You don't go to an accident scene every day,

and see a truck hanging over a bridge.

This is huge!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

WOMAN: Tractor-trailer has jackknifed on the west 401

just east of Oshawa,

the truck reportedly dangling off the 401 above Courtice Road.

I'm going to back up.

Just make sure no one stands behind me.

NARRATOR: With the scene right on his doorstep

at the B&G yard,

Bill answered the call within minutes.

BILL SNR: The driver,

he actually opened his door to get out,

and realised that he was actually in mid-air.

Fortunately, he could step out the passenger's door

onto the bridge railing and off the bridge.

Pretty messed up, that's for sure.

Let's see what we gotta do to get it out of here.

RUSS: I guess she shattered the transmission pretty good.

There's parts laying everywhere.

We are very fortunate we had no motorists

coming under the bridge at the time of the accident.

We had 50-, 60-pound gears

all over the road 25 feet below.

It could have been catastrophic.

NARRATOR: Now Bill and crew have to make sure

the rest of the tractor

doesn't follow the debris down to the road.

It's exciting, right? You get to see some stuff

you've never seen before.

What do you need, Bill?

And a big part of that task

will fall on Bill's son, Billy,

growing into the role of his right-hand man.

With Mitch being up north,

myself and the old man are, uh, are doing this together.

It's a big job, but we can get it done.

BILL SNR: Can you get up there? Yup.

Tonight will be the biggest job

Billy has tackled at his father's side.

BILL SNR: Whoa! Take your time, Billy. I got ya.

Bill Junior is coming along amazingly well,

but when you've got something hanging over a bridge,

you're into a whole world of new.

You don't see this every day.

Just watch your slippery feet with diesel fuel.

Fuel tanks were ripped open,

so the fuel was coming out at a high rate of speed.

We've got puddled fuel six to eight inches deep,

in the snow that we're walking in.

The diesel fuel complicates things for sure.

It's very slippery.

If we're not careful here, we could fall off of the bridge.

Go right around that frame right there.

Yeah.

We can't reach part of the truck

that we'd really like to rig to here.

So, our options are limited.

The trailer, it's empty, right?

Yeah.

I'm going to lift straight up. Okay.

NARRATOR: With the rigging points on the front of the tractor

out of reach,

Bill has to lift from further back.

BILL SNR: We'll try this.

NARRATOR: But that risks tilting the truck

further over the edge.

So, we want only the front end of this truck to lift.

By rigging behind the cab,

we're moving back from centre of the vehicle,

and risking having to lift the whole thing.

Careful, Billy. Get down.

Let me grab your shoulder. Good. Thanks.

NARRATOR: So they won't commit fully... just yet.

BILL SNR: We'll do a quick test lift and see.

We're just not sure with the way it's bent,

the way it's sitting, how it's going to handle.

Watch yourself.

(MACHINE WHIRS)

No, the back's coming off the ground.

With the trailer being empty,

we just don't have enough weight at the back.

Initial test lift was a failure.

We gotta get some front lift here.

I don't want to take a chance.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: 60 miles to the north-west...

..traffic up the 400 is slowing to a hard stop.

A tanker is on its side,

squeezing the northbound highway.

AMIN: Wow!

What a BLEEP show!

And Amin Abderrahman is sizing up a big job and a tough night.

This is frickin' buried.

The B-train was heading northbound when a pickup cut it off.

The tractor and both its trailers

veered into the median,

where the rear tanker

slammed over in the ditch.

It's amazing. There's no leaks.

It's not just a truck in the ditch.

This tanker is fully loaded with 53,000 litres of fuel.

We couldn't take any chances on this job.

One little spark, and we're done.

With a mixed load of diesel and gasoline,

the Autoroute Towing crew

needs to take every precaution.

We're going to remove the battery

just in case something, you know, goes wrong.

All it would take is a positive to arc over,

and then we got a spark and maybe have a fire.

And fire is only the first danger.

It's fully loaded.

We could have a huge environmental disaster on our hands.

We need professionals to pump it out,

and then once it's offloaded we can do our part of the job.

We're gonna pump outta here,

and into my tanker right there.

We're gonna get the gas off this unit right now.

It's the most volatile.

Everybody's going to feel a little bit better

after that, right?

We're being very cautious.

MAN: That's open.

We're good to go here!

NARRATOR: But pumping out 14,000 gallons is a job...

..that will take hours.

This is not an easy task in any way.

Bill? Yeah?

What do you think? Back at Courtice Road...

BILL SNR: We're going to have to sneak up through the trailer.

OK, yeah.

..Bill and Billy have been working hard

on a plan B to safely lift the tractor...

With the weight and where we are, we're not getting enough lift

at the back there,

and obviously we can't access the left side.

Ideally, with this sort of lift,

you'd want to lift by the front of the tractor,

but unfortunately for us that's just not an option.

I think this rim and that frame will do it.

Mm-hmm.

Worst case scenario, if we're not careful here,

we could have this truck fall off the bridge.

OK, go. Where's your glove?

So we're gonna take our second line

and run it out to the front right rim.

OK.

..and that should stop it from teetering forward.

I'm good to go? RUSS: Yup!

Watch out, guys!

NARRATOR: But even if they can keep the truck

from tipping over,

there's no guarantee the dislodged cab will hold on.

(METAL GROANS)

BILL SNR: We're trying to get it to unlodge itself from the bridge.

We're pulling hard, it's creaking and groaning.

Probably not much.

Yeah, that's what I mean. We don't really want that.

There's a lot of pressure on that.

The trailer's still hooked to the truck

on the fifth wheel and the kingpin.

That's what's keeping it from falling over,

but it'll only go so far before it says,

"Okay I've had enough."

We're just not sure what way

it's going to swing when it initially leaves the ground.

We face the chance of losing this cab down

over the side of this bridge.

Whoa. Watch out! Watch out!

Whoa!

Trailer tilt - is it getting better or worse?

It's getting worse.

NARRATOR: On the Courtice Road overpass...

I'm off the wall.

BILL SNR: I know, but you gotta go a lot higher to clear that rail.

NARRATOR: ..father and son are fighting to free the tractor.

Hold on. ..without sending the loose cab

plummeting straight onto the road below.

Bill, stop.

BILL SNR: It's a very tense moment.

It's moving right now.

This truck will not lift level and straight.

We're going to have to come up with another plan.

Let's run your wrecker down here, Billy.

I want you to bring a high line down

onto this corner of this trailer.

I'm going to get Junior to bring the 35-tonne up,

get hooked into the left front corner of this trailer.

OK, good.

Gives me more stability

while I'm lifting the front end up off of the wall.

In one, out the other, if you can.

Just that peace of mind, right?

NARRATOR: With Bill hooked to the tractor,

Billy will anchor the trailer,

while his father lifts and rotates the truck.

BILL SNR: Tighten up.

NARRATOR: It's a delicate dance for two operators

new to working as a team.

BILL SNR: Right there. That's all you need.

We've gotta pull together.

He's gotta lift an inch, I gotta lift an inch.

We don't want to change the angle of what we have.

We just want to change the height.

OK, I'm going to come to you real gentle.

I hope this works.

Can you set it down? Not quite.

It's a bit of a slow process,

but it's starting to come to us.

OK, I'm going to go down, down...

That's awesome.

Well, we're not done yet. We're still stuck on the wall here.

(METAL GROANS)

Beautiful.

We'll get the truck and trailer out of the scene here

so that the clean-up can commence with their clean-up.

Back a bit! Whoa!

I'm going to drag it up the road.

Everything went good, actually. It went great.

Yeah.

It's awesome to work with Bill Jr.

It's something that's new for us,

and every time I get to work with him,

I get a whole new understanding of how far along

he's actually come in this industry.

It's good.

NARRATOR: 125 miles north of the 401...

Life in Bancroft's pretty cool.

It's a different pace from back home on the 401.

Mitch Wright is starting a new day,

and a whole new life at B&G's northern outpost.

Yeah, my dad and Billy have been super-busy.

You know what, I definitely miss that, you know,

on the side of the highway thing,

and, you know, all the chaos that comes with it.

BILL SNR: Mitch's new role in the north, at Bancroft,

is gonna be to oversee the other drivers,

so he's gonna be doing all positions,

from management, to towing, to running the heavy.

He still has lots of growing up to do.

In fact, the day he was initially set to head north,

Mitch put the new job in real jeopardy.

We built a big freestyle ramp in the backyard.

Get a couple more jumps in before

we head off to Bancroft, and kind of get it out of my system.

My mom and dad have been kind of on me

about the racing thing, and maybe taking a step back.

I just came in way too fast.

I overshot the landing...

..and landed flat.

My ankle just broke.

You sure? Yeah.

OK, don't move.

I think Mitch was upset with himself for allowing this to happen.

The responsibility of taking care of the business,

and, you know, being that guy that's in charge for it,

it's a massive opportunity for me in Bancroft,

so it's going to be up to me to take care of business

and make sure things run smooth.

We should go to the hospital now.

A badly torn tendon

delayed Mitch's departure,

but a month later, he hit the road.

So right now I'm just on my way up

to a pretty secluded, kind of, part of the area.

Today, the new face of B&G North

is heading up a remote forest route...

These roads are deadly!

..to help out a local whose truck has run off the road.

You've got a truck width, and if you let a tyre slip off

the only path that there is, then you're stuck, too.

It's not like you can bring a bigger tow truck in here to pull you out.

Like, you're on your own.

Mitch is only 22 years old.

He's got a big role up there.

He's gonna go through some learning curves.

It's so deadly.

Like, if you go off the road, it's like an 80-foot drop into trees.

This is so sketchy.

WOMAN ON RADIO: What a frustrating day for anybody

using the 400 for the morning commute!

Back on the 400, morning traffic is struggling past the tanker scene.

A tanker truck has actually rolled over in the median ditch.

This situation won't be a quick recovery.

It is a mess.

KERRY: The backlog is crazy.

A pickup truck travelling along

changes lanes right into the front of a tractor-trailer.

This should not have happened,

and as a result, the driver of the pickup truck,

he's the one facing a careless driving charge,

and it's just simple.

Use your mirrors, be aware of your surroundings,

and drive accordingly.

We need to get this opened as quickly as we can.

With the first trailer now empty, Amin will hold it upright...

AMIN: It's up there.

..so his brother Yassin can safely ease it forward.

You ready?

The job is not easy to begin with.

It made it harder with the mud.

The faster you can do it, the better for everybody.

It's showtime.

And some more heavy backup has just arrived.

Am I good to lift here now?

Bubba Semple built his rep

at highly respected company Classic Towing.

Unless my truck rolls over, that's the only time I'll stop.

MAN: OK.

Just keep going, fast, fast. Fast.

NARRATOR: After sharing some jobs with Amin

and the crew over the years, Bubba made a move last winter.

Hey? Look at that. Nice job, guys.

Nice job.

I watched Auto Route get more trucks,

and one day Amin called me up

and asked me if I wanted to come over,

and it's going great.

A good man.

Pretty deep in there, eh?

This is going to be a hard pull, man.

Bubba's wrecker won't be needed

until the next phase,

but he can already see what they're up against.

It's down in the mud, hard.

It's all marsh, so this one is gonna be tricky to do.

Go ahead, Yassin, nice and slow.

Wow, buried in that muck.

There's huge suction.

That's a lot of pressure, man.

Double the working load limit

on the back line here.

There ya go.

It's coming.

(METAL CREAKS)

Keep going. Gotta give it a little bit more.

We're almost there.

The upright trailer is clear,

but it's the second one that will be more complicated and riskier.

Onto the next one as soon as they get the fuel pumped out of it.

With the tanker on its side,

the crew can't just open a valve to pump it dry.

ALLISTER: I consider it pretty dangerous.

They're drilling a hole in it as we speak, man.

I wouldn't want their job.

There's not enough danger pay in the world

for something like that.

Any kind of spark, and we could be in a whole lot of kaboom here.

I wouldn't be up there with a drill, that's for sure. Wow!

I wouldn't want their job.

There's not enough danger pay in the world for something like that.

On Highway 400, south of Barrie,

the hazmat crew

is carefully breaching the overturned tanker.

I consider it pretty dangerous.

And as the crew works,

the traffic backup is getting more intense.

We're almost done here.

We're just doing the last compartment there now.

With the crew emptying the very last section,

the Autoroute team has to be ready to move.

Both Amin and myself are going to hook it up,

drag it up, flip it right here, in behind our trucks.

The pressure is on us to get this cleaned up.

With the traffic building,

we gotta get this done and out of here, quick.

Thanks, man!

Hold it!

MAN: OK, right there.

That's good, gentlemen.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Boom out a little bit.

Bubba, you ready?

10-4.

Go a little bit more with your higher line.

Go up on the top. Top, top, top.

Lift it up.

Yeah, I just gotta catch up on the bottom.

OK, that's good. Yeah.

I'll let off my lines a little bit so you're not pulling against me.

Yeah.

There, Bubba, leave it there. You're good there.

We're just going to mid-air roll it, and Bubba's gonna catch it.

Yeah, we're ready. Stand back.

Slow there, Bubba.

It's a precision move.

Bubba will need to take over

and ease down the trailer at just the right moment.

Amin and I need to stay in sync.

If we twist at the wrong times, we could do damage.

Keep going.

Hold on, let me catch up with the other.

One sec, one sec.

Bubba, down on that low line, man.

Down on that low line.

I can't see what's happening on Amin's side.

He can't see what's happening on my side.

If we snap a strap,

you know, it can end up bad.

(METAL CREAKS)

Good there. Hook it up.

It went good. The equipment's out.

No one got hurt.

I don't even want to think about the fatigue.

I woke up yesterday morning.

It's a win-win today.

We didn't even lose a drop of oil, or diesel, or gas.

In my books, that went very well.

You guys are awesome.

Good job, guys. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Good job! Perfect.

Yeah, thank you! Thanks, buddy.

This was definitely a team effort.

I'm very pleased that we didn't have

an environmental disaster on our hands.

Things could have shifted very quickly

to the worst-case scenario.

(HORN HONKS)

WOMAN ON RADIO: I have some great news.

That tanker truck that we've been telling you about,

it's been removed from the ditch.

All lanes have reopened, both north and south bound.

Ho, ho, ho, ho...

So deadly!

Back in the woods outside of Bancroft...

What?! This is hairy!

..Mitch is still searching, and trying to stay on the road.

Lots of trees around.

Oh, there she is, right there.

Alright.

Mitch's success in Bancroft

depends on connecting with the locals.

Gosh, this is hairy, man.

But this driver is long gone.

Alrighty, let's get 'er done.

It's a single lane,

so there's no room for me to,

you know, get beside it, and, like, pull on a 45.

I'm gonna run a line from my truck off that tree,

and then redirect it down to the truck.

It's definitely a lot different than working on the 401.

You know, we're using nature to get stuff out.

When you're pulling on a tree, you gotta be careful.

You don't know how strong the tree is,

what the roots are like.

Sometimes you get yourself out,

but the other option is you pull the tree over,

and you close the road down.

Alright.

Come on, baby!

Whoa!

Just like that, she's good to go.

The truck is free, but now it's blocking Mitch's only exit.

Hopefully the customer gets here

'cause I can't leave until she moves.

No service. I can't even call her and tell her we're here.

(SIGHS)

COLLIN: We've got a truck in the ditch on its side.

He does have a lot of weight on, from what I understand.

It sounds like it's a pretty good job, actually.

300 miles south-west,

it's shaping up to be a big day for Collin Vandenheuvel.

This is my first time doing another heavy winch-out

since I had that pin let go.

Just recently, a defective tow pin

with hidden rust inside

turned into a close call.

(METAL CREAKS)

Pins letting go is definitely

one of the most dangerous situations.

We're in the line of fire.

GARY: Did it get you? Oh, yeah.

It's a scary experience.

This was an extremely close call, so we don't want it to happen again.

So Collin's father, Gary,

has mandated some changes to the crew's rigging system.

We had a hook failure on one of the wrecks

that we did there,

so now what I've come up with, guys, is this.

We're gonna go off two pins,

and then we put our endless loop in the centre,

and we're gonna hook our winch line up to this,

and if one of them does happen to break,

it's gonna be stopped by the second pull pin.

It's not gonna come at us.

I want this mandatory on anything that we pull on.

It's all things to make sure that we're safe,

and that we go home to our families every night.

Today could be the first test for the new system,

and it will definitely be a test of Collin's determination.

I have to get back on the horse here,

so to speak, and get back into the recoveries,

so I trust that my dad's new design

for the rigging is gonna work for us.

Look at that. Oh, boy!

Kyle, he's already out

with his 35-tonne,

but he said we needed the rotator on this one.

I've called Collin in because this is gonna be a big-ass job...

and I'm not doing this with just my 35-tonne.

Holy crap!

It's impressive how far he slid like that.

This truck is spun right around. It's on its side.

We've got a lot of extra challenges.

The back is pretty beat up.

It's just not gonna want to hold together.

That's the only problem with that.

This is an A-train.

MAN: See that big bolt? Oh...

That goes through,

you're gonna roll one,

and the other one is gonna stay where it is.

It's not gonna come over like a B-train.

Yeah.

An A-train has an extra set of pivot points in it,

which can cause a lot of issues.

Yup.

NARRATOR: 30 miles east of Sarnia on the 402...

Nothing better than facing the wrong way

on a 400-series highway!

..Collin is rigging up for his first move,

and trying to put the recent pin snap behind him.

It's gonna be a good pull here. Alright...

I'm not gonna soon forget that,

but we still have a job to do,

and I have to get back out here eventually.

Ain't no rest for the wicked!

Oh, there's my dad right there.

My dad's taking a bit of a step back today.

He's not gonna be working any of the trucks.

Alright, got a plan, gents?

Yeah.

Gonna let Collin lead this recovery.

Gonna allow him to move past this.

So we'll drag this unit sideways

right to the centre of the ditch there...

OK.

Flop it there, and then we can take it up the ramp.

Sounds good.

Holy crap!

So, my plan with this one

is I want to get it dragged actually down into the ditch.

Alrighty, that one's good.

And then that way, it's gonna be

a lot closer to the road

by the time we get it rolled over.

OK, I'm gonna watch the backside, guys.

Kyle will slide the tractor, while Collin pulls both trailers.

We just have to be really careful as we slide this.

OK, go, Kyle.

The truck's driver estimated 5,000 pounds of cargo,

all loaded in the first trailer.

You getting anything? No.

I'm lifting my truck.

It's not quite reacting like we expected it to.

Keep pulling, there, Coll.

For only having 5,000 in the front box,

it should be sliding a lot easier than this.

Come on!

GARY: Might come quick, guys, so watch it.

Yeah.

Here we go. Down she comes.

Nice, guys. OK.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with that.

It's nice and straight.

Part one was a success.

But the amount of resistance has Gary wondering.

I'm just worried about this trailer.

I'm not really sure how much weight we really do have in there.

When I looked in this trailer,

the weights weren't adding up for what I was seeing.

If I'm not back in five, come and get me.

Best way to find out the exact weights,

get the manifest, and then you know what you're dealing with.

Just gonna check our weights and see what we got.

Ooh. Guys, she's up there, boys.

Once we opened up the manifest, we started doing the calculations

on the weight,

and it was way heavier than the estimates.

You're right on the limits.

My concern is that the load comes out the side.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

That might be her there.

That'd be cool.

Back up a remote forest road...

How are you?

..Mitch's customer has finally come to his rescue.

I already got it out for you. It's all good.

Oh, thanks. Yeah.

That's exactly where I went in one time, too.

Is that right?

Yeah. We've been stuck three times this winter.

So far, Mitch seems to be making

a good impression on his new neighbours.

We really appreciate you coming, and coming so fast.

Yeah, no problem at all, man. No problem at all.

I appreciate the call. Yeah. No problem.

Put my number on speed dial! Yeah. I got it on speed dial.

We have put it on speed dial.

Alright, guys, you have a good day, OK?

Thank you so much. Take care.

That looks OK. Give it a shot, maybe.

Every time you're making contact

with a customer, you really have to make sure you're giving them

the experience that they deserve and the service that they deserve.

No! No way!

She did it again!

Do you need a tow truck?

That should be good right there.

On a remote road outside Bancroft...

I think this one's a freebie.

..Mitch is getting a second shot at making a first impression.

Just better you than me, right?

At least I can... I can get you out.

You can't get me out.

OK, turn your wheels this way a bit. Right there.

Perfect.

OK, put it in drive.

Wheels to the right.

Just come ahead nice and easy.

Yeah, perfect. You're out. Cool.

Oh, my god! Whoo!

Can't believe how deep it is in there.

We'll get you snowshoes.

I'm gonna need 'em!

You do need 'em up here.

Right?

We're going to leave this stuff out

in case we need it again before we get to the end of the road.

OK!

And for the second time today,

Mitch has shown he can be the face of B&G.

I've seen Mitch two more times than I'd like to this year.

(LAUGHS)

That's exactly what we need, is more connections like that.

Over time, the community is just

really gonna know that we're here to plant our roots,

and this is a long-term thing, not a short-term thing.

I have the utmost confidence in Mitch that he can mature

with what B&G requires him to do, and he'll make the business proud.

I don't think there'd be a more beautiful place to be out towing.

So, what are you thinking, Coll?

On Highway 402,

Collin is rethinking his plan

now that he knows the cargo weight

is three times the original estimate.

I'm thinking maybe we'll switch up the line on the rotator,

and we'll run it to the front, and then we'll get Kyle's wrecker.

We'll run the line from his truck to the back one, and then...

He's taking on a different role, obviously, in the company.

Right, and then you're gonna cross it? Yeah.

It's gonna give you more support underneath. Yeah.

He's learned a lot of things over the years now,

and it's nice to see him just step into a leadership role.

I like that thought. OK.

With the extra weight,

there's a good chance that we could split this trailer

while uprighting it,

so we're gonna do a Christmas wrap, which is gonna basket the trailer.

With Kyle on the tractor,

he and Collin will cross straps

to cradle the loaded trailer,

while Collin rolls the empty one.

OK, it's tight now, yup. She's tight.

Where do you want me?

You stay on the back,

make sure she's not coming apart on us.

Yeah.

This is a complicated roll that Collin has.

He has multiple lines to this...

OK, we're ready.

..he's controlling the front trailer

that's loaded...

Start taking up on your front end there, Kyle.

OK, just hang on a sec.

..he has another operator that's also attached to that...

Nice and easy together, guys.

Stay in sync.

Yeah.

..and he's also got a separate trailer

that is just totally independent

from the lead trailer that he has to upright in sync.

It's like playing piano.

This is a really complicated move. This is an A-train.

You have just one more extra pivot point,

which can cause a lot of issues.

Careful.

OK, it wants to almost fall over.

You're OK here.

Front end's down.

There we go.

Nice! And look at that.

There you go. Nice job, guys.

Nice and soft.

Load stayed!

That was like textbook work right there.

I like that.

Getting it standing up was one thing,

but now the hard part is to actually physically

get it out up onto the road.

Like last time, they'll rig to tow pins in the bumper.

Just got to be careful.

With the recent pin snap,

it's definitely still fresh in my mind.

Are you gonna be able to get into that pin?

I got one here already.

Yup, that'll work.

The driver already has his pins in place,

giving Kyle a head start.

I'm gonna be the guinea pig,

and use this front rigging method that Gary wants us to do.

I practised it a couple times on my own,

just, you know, on the weekends when nobody's around.

Yeah, there's nerves when you're trying something new and different,

because you don't know how it's going to work until you try it.

I'm concerned on how it's going to work.

Let's just be really careful.

Phase 3!

Let's tighten everything up.

It's time to put Gary's new rigging plan to the test.

Do a little pull. Careful.

(METAL CREAKING)

That front end coming over?

You know, it's definitely something that plays with your mind.

You know, a pin snapping and flying is not a fun experience.

It's definitely something that's gonna stay with me.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(GROANS)

Well, our system works.

One pin didn't hold,

but with the new system in place,

the second pin provided an anchor.

Not the way I wanted to test it, but this is a huge relief.

It didn't come flying back at us.

Learning experience for me as well.

It did demonstrate that it actually works.

What let go there?

I don't think there was a pin in here properly.

The tow pin came out,

and that was my fault.

The tow pin itself is fine.

Oh, you didn't have the tow pin in there?

I'm wondering.

Yeah, you didn't have a pin in there.

I never checked.

The truck's driver hadn't fully secured the pin in place.

There's a pin that actually goes in the back,

and holds it into the frame rail,

and he hadn't checked that,

so when he pulled on it,

obviously as soon as any pressure got on it,

it popped it right out.

I'd assumed that the locking pin was in.

Who puts a tow pin in the truck and doesn't put the lock pin in?

I guess this guy.

OK, I'm ready whenever you are, Kyle.

OK, here we go.

Once again, time to shake off the nerves

and finish the job.

OK.

Whoa, not too much harder on that back.

It's sliding on you pretty good, Coll, eh?

Yeah, I know.

OK, I'm gonna slide this back trailer up a bit.

OK, Kyle, it's yours.

OK, here we go.

That's nice. Perfect. OK, you're good.

Damn right I'm good.

Pick 'er up, and deal with it off the highway,

and the OPP will be happy, and everybody should be happy.

That is a victory.

Collin's actually come a long way.

You know, six years ago, he was in a one-tonne running that,

and now he's leading a recovery, and a good one, as well.

It's fun to see. It's nice to see.

It makes me proud.

Well, we got 'er up and out.

Now we just gotta get 'er home.

After the pin snapped, we all worked together

to come up with plans

to make sure that this thing came out of the ditch safely.

There we go.

Going back to work, it's a huge relief.

It's a great feeling.

Holy...
