after the death of her business partner daryl ward visa kelly's tried to keep their trucking business ally lying solo on our first run of the year

it's going into the gear

shot with a clutch that's what's wrong with it

maybe i've never gets leveled way out maybe suppressor both times

there's no play

much has all this that's why it's engagement season because the kick goes into gear but it can't engage into care because the clutches

it's what it is it's a clutch it's not a transmission

note it is

i'm figuring it out

with nighttime temperatures dangerously low

lisa's gonna have to wait till daylight to try and fix her way out of this jam

i mean i thought i'm to do

trailer right there in the ditch and my truck in the ditch and i can't go forward

hundreds of miles from the nearest town are only option now is the bunk down for the cold night

five hundred miles away

as the sun rises over the ontario wilderness

uh pushes rough

uh makes it really hard to desert for driving on

dewey's in the thick of it

no matter what the loader and the outlet community on the ice road

try to get visuals and communities as fast as again can in a push to clear up their backlog of halls color as their top driver tackling one of the toughest trails

dodge carrying a lotta construction supplies for the isolated community of round lake

the gas to get these loads in as fast as and could to fossils we can and the most efficiently without breaking our tracks or possibly pushing too hard

stuck out an icefield for another three or four or five days because you stopped getting can't get out or you're broke you're drunk

uh only eighty miles into his journey

we are going on here

sucker for truck off the road got over set off the road or the roads already put one truck on the sidelines

you know the motto will never leave a trucker buying i'm going to stop see if it needs a hand

uh no knock on his door matures okay

uh you

few other talks for covering these roads aren't very wide he got off onto the shoulder a little bit too much and we got him to shoulder the snowbank caught him and sucking right down into the debt so and then got the truckers owner who they were but i sure would like to know the canadian bar stop and helping out people over the road for the ticket go by both boys is gonna be enough

getting out just never know until you try

okay do you see me gone let him start turning now if i can't get the first time i'll back up get a little more feet

incredible scale lot

uh

uh jet budget this is a situation you need to use a change but does put a lot of stress on my chains i need for the ice and i don't want to tear him up and out for the ice road

uh not gonna give up quite yet i'm gonna put everything i got into it okay but there's no guarantee todd's houthi is tired chains will give his rig the extra traction it needs to pull the disabled truck capital to take back onto the road

colonel mccraw longer this time they're gonna look for speed

to give him more of a run he also uses a chain to extend his toe strap

i gotta get some amount of merch not gonna get them again position sealer kaggle more tracks over st this time maybe pop them out

keep your fingers crossed please

ugh

uh

on the roads around lake

helping out a stranded driver

to the breaking point

uh todd has come through for a fellow trucker

just taken my chains off

damage but it came at a price spit it out trying to really get the guy out as broken both of my jeans the stress of pulling the forty ton truck has destroyed his tire james jones

full days are completely broke

train brakes like sastre absolutely no good and that creates an issue because now i got no change

without an essential cold weather to todd will be at the mercy of the three hundred and twenty miles of ice roads still ahead of him

when you see someone else stuck out in the bush like that guy's been stuck you don't just drive by him

the only bad part about this now i got no change

as todd faces an uncertain journey

two hundred miles to the northwest

wow

an ice road legend awakes from summer hibernation

ah oh

the warring world forty five years trucking veteran aleks deborah garcia's back in the saddle driving for polar cooling the fleas my hair

but it's not the truck's odometer that weighs heavy on his mind one day i got up and looked in the mirror there's always that guy he's got grey here like what happened took all of a sudden i'm looking my dad

i wouldn't talk to guys sixty years old those guys don't know enough to know i wanna whoop it ah

next i make breakfast

can of beans miss the wholesale candle

it always works

secret to life and success is liking towards a state of mind and i'm going to work as long as i can't say they can surprise a couple of people ah

feel good

panel off

more stars to pagasa

alex is hauling an urgent load of construction supplies for the first nations community upon gsi two hundred miles northeast of whitby i really want to get in there and get the heck back getting another

with the loads piling up and holding the pressures on for ye old prob pick up the pace for these folks back here

we got this little window

holy mackerel

uh-oh baby

when we got here now

uh oh there's a lake over here and another legal here they must be running into

alex has come to a creek glossy

small water bodies will freeze quicker than large bodies

so i'm going to stop particularly poke around in as many years running the ice rose alex has learned that creek ice is often a good predictor of what to expect on lake ice

and with a ten mile lake crossing ahead of him alex wants a closer look

boy ever got dropped a wheel in area wouldn't come over

yeah that's sort of the problem is

the water was up there

and the water was holding the ice up and then the water went wrong for some reason

and the ice got nothing supporting it that's just dangerous fluctuations in temperature can create a dangerous gap between the surface ice and the water below

and that an ice crossing that's a recipe for disaster

little bit open water there

i wonder how he that is

there's a stick over

have a look

whoa

deep in the wilds of manitoba

on the trail to pangasius will be open water there

want to know defended

whoa

oh holy back

oh

well i know how deep daughter is anyway

so here

i gotta go empty my boot folk

uh oh america was really smart we think figured old day of marine

before his wet clothes can freeze

dr ngo little bit

alex retreats to the safety and warmth of his cab

hopefully jesus sick enough for me to cross

the season veteran hopes the fragile creek ice isn't a bad omen for what lies ahead on the crossing over a fishing lake

put the old ticker to the tetsuya

uh two hundred and fifty miles away

may stop its aren't right hey huh i got got a problem there okay young steph customs is stationed at big trout

earning your stripes doing grunt work on the winter roads for polar owner mark aco which i eat all his trailer thanks doc running back up other roads are cosmo okay

pelosi it's kinda like gopher gopher this off that mean you just kind of run and go do it yeah

but that's what i have to do to prove that i'll do the job and i'll do it it's gonna take a little bit effort but

etc from which to test get the job done imo

thanks

i'm gonna take this to pickle lake steph has been tasked with hauling a broken down trailer to pullers repair shop at nikolay

uh as a big trout to ah

rescue this trailer and i showed up who would move all the lines and broke the mission will save polar valuable time by not bringing the busted trailer back to lynchpin

oh come on

but the three hundred mile journey on steep mountain grades is a challenge for even the most seasoned driver

ugh i spit on this children

is my last paycheck stuck on the road cost more money and time just not good

whilst f power zonda pickle lake

uh four hundred miles away in northern manitoba

i need a shovel so i can give myself a decent chance to get out of here

i had a chance to actually get out of here

stranded with a broken clutch and far from the nearest town

lisa's made it through the nights take a look at this box over here this box this is where my tools are and i can't get to them with their tool compartment jab shut

she can't fix the broken clutch

the only thing lisa can do is try and dig out our tires

hope another trucker passes by

uh easy as possible

finally fourteen hours into her efforts

help arrives

finally

problem

high level fan i'm in trouble

the men are hunters on their way home my classes are working right now

i've been on mechanics and seven eighteen years old i'll go get all my tools and lucky for lisa they're the right guys for the job

what do you need passing trans r soc

you've been here for hours already i've been using last night

i had to sleep on it was two in the morning when i finally went to bed

and your classic way onto it

you're half inches overwatch and your eighth inch you've got nothing you got no free play so well have to adjust

this is just a temporary figure collectors way out of adjustment

alright ty

okay let's try this

i have a clutch that would be awesome

uh

this is clutch is back at action

okay here we go

but she's still asked to get her jackknife rig straight now

uh

uh

uh oh

dr

oh wow

all right look at your grip contents and work and it was the clutch that was it

take it easier there claps like even though you got fennel it's not very good so i'm slowing my mojo

thank you guys so much

uh i'm so proud of myself for like properly diagnosing what the problem was and i'm really proud of myself for figuring out it wasn't the transmission that it was

because that's who would ever figure that out

hi darrell me

after being stranded for over fifteen hours lisa's finally back on the road

uh do you hear the snapping and cracking down there

somebody right but with three hundred and fifty miles yet to go on an ailing truck

she's not out of the woods yet

and to be really careful with the class as it could go

it ain't over yet

uh

in manitoba

talk about the old curiosity killed the cat curiosity almost drown this gap pick that up up up up up

nice road legend is making his way north upon gassy

well is the water stuff went out

on his first run of the season alex has gotten off to a rocky start falling into a freezing creek while testing the ice surface

uh oh ice draws some big lake

as alex approaches the ten mile long crossing at fishing lake

weird he doesn't like what he sees

cbs up there on the side

those hung up on iraq

almost looking at the water was three feet higher oh

as with the creaky fell into earlier

us warm weather is causing the water levels on the lake to start dropping a sure-fire recipe for unstable ice

but with the community waiting for it's overdue shipment

uncle will give her a shot

alex roles on

of water under the ice does support base as we drive along the ice bins in the water holds it up if there's no water underneath the ice and two thousand or support just the ice yourself which generally is not good

because the whole lake to settle or the ice can drop from break up the offer

uh hopefully it will be fine

uh but they both have a bunch of cracks and you seem to be more noticeable usual

are the orders

but they get flags here because there's something wrong with the ice really

pretty good holes in the ice right there i don't know why

of coming to the end of belief

this side

uh

thank god

back on solid ground alex makes it to the village of pangasius yeah another chest skip testing the heart to see we're going to follow a job for arrived allen and fit fit

delivering some much-needed furnaces to the remote community one of the biggest challenges just to motor than any job that has a need for some expertise is having faith in oneself

what's a forklift worker

okay time to get it done while alex offloads

two hundred miles away in ontario's remote wilderness

uh that looks like just a few more miles i'll be rolling into round lake fire

calling critical building supplies todd dewey is in the homestretch

just about there guys

uh

but not across the finish line yet

solid black ice steep ass hill janet

uh this is exactly what was worried about

my chains run into the hills like this

earlier spit it out try to really dig the guy out it's broken both of my chains todd destroyed his tire chains pulling a stranded trucker out of the ditch

uh now it's eighteen percent grade that's pretty damn steep he's facing a sharp drop followed by an even steeper uphill i don't know what to do because if i get stuck i got no change

worst case scenarios you get the top of the hill you don't make it and you start sliding backwards a jackknifed tractor truck and then i'm done for the season with the town just on the other side of the hill

brown like here we come

ty has no choice

i now on

polar steady

uh come on come on

um

uh

maybe

hundreds of steep ass long frickin hill

and i'm now in the community of round lake delivering my load of building supplies

uh

oh yeah we get open i tried to pull the guy out of the ditch took me three hours to finally get him out but one of the big chain staffed almost went all the way through the door i don't know how good explain that one to the boss

so you know it was a long journey i've heard around lake but you know what the end of the day we've got in the community we got on there supplies to see the smiles on the people's faces when they show up when you brought them everything they need that's what this is all about

that's why we take the risk right there

meanwhile as night falls on the winter roads

temperatures plunge

and two hundred and fifty miles away

so being so really close together to can make a really tasty guess who is really lying step is fighting her way back to pickle lake

just got to be lazy

the rookies tackling one of the toughest roads in ontario

looking to get a four ton broken trailer in for immediate repairs

uh just

uh i'm gonna get a lot of speed to make it over the snow

now she's facing a twelve percent grade slick with ice

um i'm just christmas time

uh

back down so i can get up

to get over this hill stuff will need a running start

which means the young driver must back down a twisting road full of line turns

thanks

and treacherous digits

ugh

really

cha

uh

deep in northern ontario

steph is in a jam

i feel you

uh

holy

know i know

yeah

i'm stuck on hills fun

overwatch

it says back to china for ya

i waited every day for crandall

with the road behind her blocks stuff can't get the momentum she needs the scale the hill

your only option is to throw on tire chains and hope for enough traction took crawl over the steep grade

on her first run of the season ah nah

the novice struggle to chain up on flat ground in broad daylight not around anymore i need to walk and everyone needs to leave me wrong now yeah i guess

steph s tour chains on a hill in minus thirty degree weather and big line of people who resize modes

and do it with an audience

oh

living the rookie

um come on

uh

this on the skin up the road

under pressures death and stepped up

great god

this works

cause i know or feel on my nose

the only question is

willa chains hole

way to go

uh yeah you're here you're here

uh

um

us

us navy

uh we have more of like a happy reaction so much right now

but i'm actually

the rookies enjoy the cole made it over the incline

uh as day breaks over the winter row

and pick a lake too

steps pushed through the night and clawed her way over the last fifty miles into pickle lake

hey steph i was gone

drop right there i'll get my nutter gonna come in and hook it up and we'll take it to the shop and get her worked on

okay thanks awesome stuff

with the job done

also any other to drop steps making her way back ready for her next assignment

feels good to know that i'm going back out on the road

get home my boy

people might think we're just trackers purchase this not know many people neighbor we have

it feels like surfing to our families

that to me is all that matters

uh

eight hundred miles away

in the far reaches of manitoba

uh oh that's just ouch lisa kelly's limping her broken truck up the rough and desolate trail to tulay

i need my clutch to get me as far as like the classical

oh my gosh

this is officially called limping the truck

already a day late delivering the load of building supplies

the renegade trucker needs to come through she's gonna keep her company alive i have not seen any other trucks nothing

uh that means my to stuff and i'm bringing them that's it

i need to get this to them because they need all this stuff and i'm the only one

uh it is just cracking and snap and every time i hit a ball

uh

on the road to tadulala

oh that's terrible

trying to keep her damage truck from giving out before she makes it to our destination

gonna have to figure out what to do with this track it to a shop and see how much damage is actually done what's actually wrong with clive what's wrong with the brake have all these contracts backed up and i just have i have now just lost my ability to fulfill guides

five

after nine hundred grueling miles

the lever make some people happy

lisa rolls into two dooley lay with the town's critical buildings supplies

this are high

uh oh video puts into my community yeah thank you is this your stuff this is our stuff for housing we've been waiting for thank you for bringing it really needed up here in the north as you've been waiting for it while he was on order last summer last summer last year wow

oh they come to on the winter road we got no newcomer road and without people like you we'd be having a hard time north visas first load of the season is a success but keeping her company afloat is going to be an uphill battle

i'm facing the worst situation i mean it sucks what happened and all these loads of backed-up and now i don't have daryl i don't have my partner and i'm trying to just play catch up from past years try to maintain what i gotta do this year it's insanity

uh next time click on
