NARRATOR: Last Time on
"Ice Road Truckers--"

We're already making money.

NARRATOR: No winner has been
declared in the war between VP

Express and Polar Industries.

Mark from Polar, you can
kiss our lily white asses.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: And there's no easy
money on the winter roads.

Woo!

Rodeo.

You gotta be kidding.

I'm terrified.

NARRATOR: Lisa and
Alex are 800 miles

into the Canadian wilderness.

Lord, give us a hand.

NARRATOR: And still haven't
delivered for Polar Industries.

I'm doing a lot of
worrying, and I just wanna

get my worrying part over with.

I've been misled
since I got here,

if you want to know the truth.

NARRATOR: And the
bosses at VP Express--

Whoa.

Left Art Burke behind.

Well, this is a [bleep]
situation, now, ain't it?

[theme music]

NARRATOR: At a fuel stop
four hours north of Winnipeg,

in 40 below--

Well, I'm just about
at my wit's [bleep] end.

Well, the [bleep]
truck won't start.

NARRATOR: VP Express
driver Art Burke

is stranded with
a broken down rig

after being left behind by
his new bosses, Hugh Roland

and Vlad Pleskot.

I don't know if
that's a [bleep] fuse,

or what in the [bleep] it is.

I gotta figure out a way
to get that [bleep] box.

There's no one here to bum
a [bleep] wrench off of, eh?

I haven't got a [bleep]
wrench, and no one here

has got a [bleep] wrench.

What the [bleep]
are you going to do?

NARRATOR: And with no
one around to help,

he's running out of options.

I'm not quite sure what
the [bleep] to do here.

Everything is frozen solid, eh?

There might be [bleep].

Is that guy pulling
out, or is he coming in?

Well, maybe those guys
have got a wrench?

Wonder if I got
room to get in here?

Surely, I do.

NARRATOR: Polar Industries
driver Darrell Ward pulls in

on his way back to Winnipeg.

Good day, boy.

What's going on?

I've been [inaudible].

Found myself in a [bleep] jam.

[bleep] starter's froze.

Now I can't get it
[bleep] started again.

Have you tried jumping--
crossing the solenoid

on the starter?
- Tried it.

Just turns.

Goes "wow, wow, wow."

I'll pull up there.

You know, I've never
left anybody stranded.

If I can help them out,
I'm going to help them out.

Think we can get her going?

I'm gonna hook a chain to
it so I can pull start it.

NARRATOR: Darrell's got a plan--

try to pull start Art's
truck, and hope the engine

fires up once the
rig is rolling.

All right.

Turn the key on.

Got to get him going, so he
don't freeze to death out here

tonight.

Show these boys how it's
done, Montana style.

We got her, buddy.

She's running.

I knew we'd get it going.

Thank you very much.

You betcha.

You betcha, Art.

Any time.

Oh, you-- oh,
you're big on it.

Oh, you're big on
that one, killer.

All right.

That's what you do.

Anywhere you go, when
somebody's broke down,

especially negative 40.

NARRATOR: Art's
back in the saddle,

thanks to the competition.

Hugh and Vlad left
one of their own trucks

behind out here.

I would never leave
one of my drivers

in a situation like that.

Well, did you see the other
guy help us there when when he

[bleep] came?
He told us there--

I didn't know him from [bleep].

That's just what you do.

It's not in this [bleep] outfit.

And that's one of the [bleep]
reasons that this outfit is

going to have a hard
time keeping up.

If you're not
pleased with the guy

you're working for,
you're not going

to work to the best
of your ability, eh?

And you can put that in
your little [bleep] show.

NARRATOR: While Art heads
back to VP headquarters,

350 miles north--

Well, we're into Shamattawa.

I held my breath
that whole time.

NARRATOR: Team Polar is
about to score again.

After a long couple of
days, we finally made it here.

Shamattawa.

Shamattawa, Manitoba.

NARRATOR: Lisa Kelly--

Made it.

NARRATOR: And Alex Debogorski
have survived a 36 hour

trip over one of the most
rugged roads in Manitoba.

This terribly rough road
here is 200 kilometers.

Most of the way, we're
going 10 miles an hour.

Because it's so rough.

NARRATOR: This delivery is part
of Polar's $100,000 Shamattawa

contract, and gives them a
healthy lead over rival VP

Express.

I'm really glad I got out
here, got this stuff delivered.

Got the first time
jitters out of the way.

There we go.

I'm excited to
be trucking, OK?

I love trucking.

I just do.

NARRATOR: But for Lisa,
the trip's only half over.

There's 800 miles between
Shamattawa and Winnipeg,

and each mile without a load
gives VP Express a chance

to catch up in the load count.

I'm glad I made it there, but
I've still got to make it back.

NARRATOR: Back at
the offload site--

You're going to take
back the Zoom Boom.

NARRATOR: Alex scores
a bonus back haul.

This is the equivalent of
getting a birthday present

or a Christmas present.

You know what I
mean, jelly bean?

NARRATOR: Now he's got to
head back down the winter

road with a 32,000
pound Zoom Boom

forklift, headed
for the repair shop.

Anyway, let's drive
this thing out of here.

Load is secure.

We're ready go back.

All them potholes
are waiting for me.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: This is the last haul
in the first round of loads

for Shamattawa.

And if Alex can
get it delivered,

he'll trigger another
round of high dollar loads

for Polar Industries.

The fun starts right here.

NARRATOR: At VP Express, Art's
finally made it back to town.

Thought we'd bring you in here
and tell you a scoop on where

your next trip is.

All right.

NARRATOR: And to
keep freight moving,

Hugh's giving the struggling
newcomer another shot.

We've got [inaudible].

We have to get in there.

So try to do your best.

Oh, we're going
to handle it, buddy.

If I know you're trying--

[interposing voices]

Hugh and Vlad [bleep] off and
left me to fend for myself, eh?

But I let it go.

Kind of.

It's frustrating,
a little bit.

But we're just
starting out here,

so we all had to cool our jets
and just, you know, take it

as the time comes.

We don't need cowboys.

We just need somebody
that will take that load,

and delivered that load.
Comes back--

Well, and that's the thing.

We've got three going
out today, right?

Yeah.
Yeah.

NARRATOR: But with dozens of
loads waiting to be hauled

north, Hugh's hedging his bet by
bringing in another winner road

hopeful.

I'm way out of my element,
driving on the ice roads.

The stories I have heard is
that it's real dangerous.

I'm going to be nervous.

If you make a
wrong move up here,

it's not just going
to be a wrong move.

It's going to be
a dead wrong move.

People saying, well, why
would you want to go do that?

And it's a pretty simple answer.

I have a family to take care of.

If I gotta put my
life on the line

to make sure my girls have
a good life, then so be it.

That's what's going to happen.

If the ice roads don't kill me,
then being away from my family

will.

Hey, Todd.
Hey.

How's it going?
- Good.

How are you guys?

Right on.

Good see ya.

NARRATOR: Todd Dewey's got
plenty of experience moving

massive logging equipment
through the mountains

of the Pacific Northwest.

But he's never
driven on the ice.

Nobody likes new guys.

You know?

So that's where all the
responsibility is going

to come on my shoulders,
to prove to these guys

that I've got what it takes.

He's never been on an
ice road before, so I mean,

he can truck--

I don't care if you've
trucked 50 years.

If you've never
drove on the ice,

I'm not going to let you
up there by yourself yet.

NARRATOR: Today Hugh's
got to get his rag tag

team up the road, and
hope at least one of them

figures it out.

We got three [bleep]
loads of freight here.

We've got everything
from roofing materials

to plastic water tanks.

We got lumber, and they're all
right on the knots for weight,

so we've got to be careful here.

OK.

Let's get hooked up.

Art.

He's going to get one
more kick at the cab here,

and I told him what's
behind us is behind us.

So if he can [bleep] pull her
off, well, maybe he can stay.

But we can't put up with the
[bleep] that went on last time.

This is our first year
together, me and Vlad,

so we don't need a bunch
of horse [bleep] going on

with a bad name for VP
going up down the road.

We don't need to
end up like Polar.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: For Todd, this will
be his first shot at driving

the Manitoba ice roads.

Oh, [bleep].

NARRATOR: While for Art,
it could be his last.

[truck horn]

Let's make the best of
her, and let's get going.

We should have been on the
road 3 and 1/2 hours ago.

All the fiddle farting around.

That's the good
thing, we thought

we'd leave at 7:00 today.

I think Art was thinking
PM there, Hugh, not AM.

[laughter]

That's OK.

I'm not giving up.

If I'm here to do this, man,
this is part of the gig.

You've got to just
ride the rough spots.

If he's trying to
break me, he's going

to have to [bleep] work at it.

NARRATOR: In the
Canadian wilderness,

on a closed section
of the road--

We're on our way
up to check the ice,

to make sure that
the roads are safe,

so that we can't get them open
to get the freight moving.

NARRATOR: Winter roads
manager Tim Smerski

is checking every
inch of the ice

to see if it's safe
for big rig travel.

This is not easy
terrain to travel in.

There's an awful lot of
obstacles to overcome.

This is total wilderness.

We're using our ground
penetrating radar

to electronically measure the
ice thickness as we travel

along.

It's telling us so
far on this run,

we've got a maximum of
75 centimeters of ice.

NARRATOR: The ice here
is over a half a mile

long, but less than
30 inches thick.

And so far, it's
looking pretty uniform.

We're going to open it.

NARRATOR: Every
new road that opens

means more money for the
company that lands the contract.

Polar Industries.

Hey, how are ya?

Great.

Excellent.

So how many loads
you got for us?

Excellent.

Thank you.

Bye, bye.

NARRATOR: And today Polar
Industries owner Mark

Kohaykewych beats
out VP Express,

scoring a new contract to the
town of Little Grand Rapids.

There's another
couple loads for us.

It's gonna be awesome.

NARRATOR: And Darrell Ward jumps
at the challenge of the newly

opened road.

All right, what
do you got for me?

I got 12 concrete blocks
going up to little Grand Rapids.

Then we'll have another load
for you probably tomorrow,

or the day after.

I was told when I had come up
here that I'd have a back haul

every trip.

You guys ain't given
me one back haul yet.

It's still early
in the season.

Might have to go down
the road down here,

and get a back haul from VP.

You know, I came up here to
try to make enough money to get

started over again and reunite
with my son and my daughter,

Reno and Tara.

I have to get the loads in.

This is where my
life depends on it.

Their life depends on it.

Can't even get my window down.

I go out across the water, and
I can't get my window down--

can't get the doors open, you
gotta take the window down.

NARRATOR: With
money on the line,

Darrell's not going to let a
broken window stand in his way.

I'm just gonna lay a hammer
behind the side of my seat,

and that way, when
I go down, I'm

just going to smack the window.

NARRATOR: He'll face the
ice with 50,000 pounds

of concrete barriers,
and a hammer.

All righty.

I gotta bust a window
out if I go through.

NARRATOR: While Darrel
takes a new job for a Polar,

120 miles north--

Rival Hugh Rowland is just
trying to get his team

to the winter roads.

We were about four
hours late leaving,

but we've gained a
little bit of time here.

NARRATOR: And the
fate of the company

is in the hands of struggling
driver Art Burke and ice road

rookie Todd Dewey.

This is new to me, up here.

You know, I'm way
out of my element.

Must be doing
something right here,

to have the boss behind me
pretty much all afternoon here,

since we got rolling.

I haven't heard
any complaints yet,

so it looks like I'm doing what
it takes to lead the pack here.

Doing a fine job, buddy.

NARRATOR: After 10
hours on the highway,

Todd's already
earning the praise

that's eluded Art all season.

Todd's up ahead.

I'm in the middle this
time, instead of the front.

The boss--

RADIO: You've got 550
horses there, Art.

Please open her up a little.

See?

He doesn't like the
speed I'm going.

Never happy, eh?

Brain fart here.

He wanted to follow.

Well, he's got a
chance to follow,

and he still can't keep up.

This is how I drive.

If he doesn't like it, [bleep]
put somebody else in the truck.

I'm not out here to
really win a [bleep] race.

NARRATOR: The convoy's about to
hit the Wasagamack Winter Road.

150 miles of brutal
Manitoba backcountry.

Yeah, just ride
straight here, right?

NARRATOR: It'll be rookie
Todd Dewey's chance

to show he's got what it takes.

And a shot at redemption
for Art Burke.

This is definitely a whole
new life experience, right here.

Because it's negative
40 degrees outside.

Can't keep the--

[bleep]

Sweet [bleep]!

Oh, lord!

Road's definitely starting
to get a little more, uh--

a little more rough.

Burke, you gotta put
on your rodeo hat now.

Everything is frozen
so freaking hard up here,

and there's so much ice
and snow on the road

that you get the big ice
drifts, or whatever they are.

It'll bounce you right
out of your frickin' seat.

Hold on there, guys.

The ice road's picking
up here on the bumps,

and we've got some
big holes in the road.

I just went over 'em.

You guys are going to be
hitting them here any second.

[bleep]

This is like four
wheel drive in a big rig.

Oh--

[laughter]

Supposed to be doing
[bleep] 40 through here.

I don't know why we're
going so [bleep] fast, man.

The guy definitely wants
to, you know, slow down.

I've got a [inaudible].

At the same time,
you know, a guy

wants to keep his
momentum going.

You know, you hit a little
bit of a hill, or whatnot,

you don't want to
be going too slow.

I don't know what Todd
is trying to prove here

at this speed, but he's
not really impressing me.

There's a reason why the speed
limit is 40 miles an hour.

You know--

I gotta keep on this road.

These roads are bumpy as hell.

Absolutely just beating me
up, beating the truck up.

Like that right there.

Ouch.

That hurt.

You know what kind of speed
you usually run on these roads

up here, buddy?

Well, whatever you're
comfortable with.

Just when it gets rough,
slow down, drive accordingly.

I'll do that, bud.

I'm gonna have to slow her down
a little notch here, or two.

I don't want to frickin'
break down out here.

This is not the spot
to be breaking down.

NARRATOR: 30 miles
west of Shamattawa--

Just got done delivering.

I'm empty, I'm chained and
I'm going to hit the river.

NARRATOR: Lisa
Kelly's hammering down

to get off the winter
road, and get back

in the race with VP Express.

The river is kind of
our entrance and exit

to Shamattawa.

NARRATOR: But first she'll
after retrace her steps

over the Hayes River crossing,
and navigate the shifting

islands of river ice.

People ask me what it's
like to drive on ice,

and I just tell 'em,
that's what I do.

That's what I've always
done, so that's all I know.

So it's normal to me.

So when people are
like, oh, you're

crazy for driving those
ice roads, it's like,

maybe we're all crazy.

That's it, we're all crazy.

All right.

[music playing]

Holy-- I just saw
it, like, move.

Yeah, I'm, like, driving
all over this crack,

and it's, like, moving.

Wow.

Oh, [bleep]!

Scared me.

[music playing]

I totally saw the ice move.

Yippee-kay-ay.

We're out of here.

NARRATOR: Off the ice,
Lisa gets back up to speed,

hoping to make it off the
winter road by nightfall.

I'm gonna go on through
and get to Gilham tonight.

NARRATOR: 10 miles back--

The Zoom Boom shouldn't move.

I'll have to check the chains
and just keep an eye on it.

Be able to see if the
tires are moving at all.

NARRATOR: Teammate Alex
Debogorski's hauling a forklift

that'll trigger another round
of loads for Polar Industries.

I guess the biggest
concern is that we're

going to go onto the lake now.

NARRATOR: If he can get
across the shifting ice

Lisa just crossed.

Open to 37,500.

I think the Zoom
Boom's all right,

but I'm hoping it's
below the, uh--

what the weight restriction
is on this ice crossing here.

NARRATOR: But he'll after it
do it hauling 32,000 pounds.

I see there's a few
cracks in the ice.

[music playing]

You can hear a little
bit of cracking.

Oh!

Well, we're back on the road.

We made it across safely again.

Thank you, dear Lord, God,
for getting Lisa and I

to Shamattawa safely, and help
us to make it safely back,

and look after our families.

In the name of Father, and
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus' name, amen.

NARRATOR: Alex still
has over 100 miles

to go before he brings
in this load for Polar.

But 300 miles south--

They just opened this road up.

They're still working on it.

NARRATOR: Teammate
Darrell Ward's

just heading out onto the newly
opened road to Little Grand

Rapids.

And the trail is littered with
wreckage that sank into the ice

when the road was built.

Being the first one
out here, you never

know when you're going to
run into those problems.

NARRATOR: A pickup truck
that got stuck on the ice

last season has the
road down to one lane.

Kind of makes for tight
quarters for me to get by.

NARRATOR: And there's not enough
room to get his loaded trailer

through.

Look at that.

Looks like you're
stuck in the mud.

Yeah, we're stuck
in the mud, man.

This thing has been there
since last spring, so--

Man, that thing is
glued tight, isn't it?

Looks to me like you'd be
better off to light it on fire.

How about we hook her
on the frame here,

and you winch it out of there?

You think that's
going to work?

If not, it's going
to [bleep] it up good.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: With a
load to deliver,

Darrell is taking matters
into his own hands.

Want to give it a pull?

Something's going to break.

All right!

Let's see what happens.

[music playing]

There it came.

Get out of here, and
go get rid of this load.

NARRATOR: Darrell's
cleared a path for himself

and fellow truckers.

But rivals VP Express are
also charging forward.

We've had a pretty
good day today.

The run's been
going pretty smooth.

NARRATOR: With ice road
rookie Todd Dewey at the head

of the three man convoy.

We've still got a little ways
to go on the ice road here.

We're kind of hoping to
get to our destination,

and get these
loads unloaded off.

NARRATOR: But now Todd's
facing the first ice crossing

of his career.

So this is my first big lake.

You got a copy, Todd?

TODD: Roger, go ahead.

Yeah, just hang
tough up there.

Don't go over, like, 15k on
there with the load you got,

cause we're heavy.

Whatever you do,
don't stop on the ice.

Copy that.

Well, you hear
people saying, oh, I

didn't see about
the trucks, that

have broke through the ice,
and people have drowned.

And they're like, why would
you want to go do that?

I don't know if
it's balls of steel,

or it's just flat stupidity--

but I always get it
done, one way or another.

I've got a little bit of go
left inside me, you know?

A little nervous, you know?

Just going to try and
take her slow here.

Get the feeling of it.

OK.

You know, my truck is loaded
right to the maximum weight

limit that these roads
are open for right now, so

40 tons of weight sitting over
just a [bleep] load of water.

That's a-- that's--

that's a nerve wracking
sound, right there.

Definitely a whole different
little ballpark here.

It's kind of scary here.

You start hearing
that ice crack,

you know, your natural instinct
is to just put the pedal down.

You know, you just
want to haul ass.

And you can't.

That's a scary feeling.

This thing starts
to go, I'm gone.

I'm out the freaking
door, quicker than you

can snap your freakin' fingers.

Oh, sweet lord.

OK, I'm across safely, guys.

That's quite the sound
there in that ice crack

underneath your
tires there, Hugh.

[inaudible].

Well, I don't know how
keen I am on crossing this

with max weight.

I don't know what the
[bleep] problem is.

[bleep] the hold up up here?

Let's [bleep] go!

NARRATOR: On the
road to Wasagamack--

Well, I know how keen I am at
crossing this with max weigh.

NARRATOR: Art Burke's
brought the VP Express convoy

to a standstill.

[bleep] the hold up up here?

Let's [bleep] go!

OK.

I think Hugh was
a bit of a [bleep]..

Who the [bleep] wants to
work for a person like that,

you know?

He never even [bleep] called
me to tell when we're going,

or [bleep] all.

I'll just say [bleep],,
just take my time.

He'll wait for me.

[bleep] going on now?

I can hear her
crackin' big time.

OK, up this hill.

NARRATOR: As Art
reaches the other side--

Uh-oh.

NARRATOR: Veteran Hugh Rowland
makes quick work of the ice.

How's she going
up there, Todd?

You having a blast yet?

NARRATOR: And keeps pressing
his team toward their goal.

Now we're just
clicking right along.

You betcha, Hugh.

This is great.

Looks like I'm coming up on
our Wasagamack side here, Hugh.

10-4.

Yeah.

You get there, just hang a left.

Now, when you get in
the [inaudible] there,

just softens off
of the hill there.

See who's kind of
coming up on us.

Roger that.

Hang to the left.

NARRATOR: At the end of the day,
Hugh's managed to get his team

over the winter road,
and VP Express racks up

three more loads in their
half million dollar Wasagamack

contract--

bringing them closer to
their rivals at Polar.

I think Hugh was actually
pretty impressed with me today,

driving the truck.

You know, I was
able to hold my own.

Lead the pack all the
way up here, and not

have any big complications,
or any problems.

So you know, I think the
boss was pretty happy.

I think it's going to work
out pretty good for me.

When we pulled
into Wasagamack here,

I was a little bit pissed off.

Overall, man, this has been
a pretty good [bleep] trip.

But don't brag or
shoot your mouth

off, because right over the
hill might be your turn, eh?

Todd led the group
all the way up here.

We figured out that Art's not
a leader, he's a follower.

Art won't be leading the
pack anywhere any time soon.

Todd definitely knows
what he's doing.

That's a good thing for us.

NARRATOR: And for the
first time this season,

things are looking
up for VP Express.

As night falls--

I'm empty, heading
back to Gilham.

And see what Mark's
gonna do from there.

NARRATOR: Lisa Kelly's
the first polar driver

to make it off the winter road.

Kind of a long day, yeah.

NARRATOR: She's driven
nearly 1,000 miles,

and delivered one
load to Shamattawa.

I feel like I
just aged 10 years.

NARRATOR: And now
she's geared up

to take another
haul in the morning.

I'm tired, but definitely,
I feel like I survived it.

I made it.

I did it.

So I'm gonna go to bed.

And get some sleep.

NARRATOR: 300 miles south--

Darrell's still got a chance
to bring in a load for Polar.

Little hold up back
there with that pickup.

Kinda cost me a
little bit of time.

NARRATOR: He's got 50,000
pounds of concrete barriers

to take across the newly opened
Family Lake ice crossing,

and a window that
he can't roll down.

Looks like the
last ice crossing I

got, and then I'm into
Little Grand Rapids, I guess.

I think that's where I'm at,
so I'll get my hammer and--

get on across the ice.

I got my hammer, I'm gonna
ride on across the ice here.

If I have any problems, at
least I can bust the window out,

seeing as my window
doesn't roll down.

There ain't a school out there
to teach you how to do this.

It's all done by the
seat of your pants.

School of hard knocks.

You do not get a diploma.

You get a tombstone.

NARRATOR: On a newly frozen
lake, 220 miles from Winnipeg--

If I have any
problems, at least

I can bust the window out,
seeing as my window doesn't

roll down.

NARRATOR: Darrell
Ward's the first test

the ice with a loaded big rig.

Sounds something
like a horror movie.

Middle of the
night, ice cracking.

Loaded semi out
on a frozen lake.

How frozen, I don't know.

We're the first
ones to cross it.

In the daytime, you can
see off in the distance.

You see fresher
ridges, and see cracks.

Pushing the weight limit
right to the limit, too.

[music playing]

I'm almost there.

I can see the lights,
I can see the island.

Thank God I didn't
have to use the hammer.

NARRATOR: Darrell's made
it to Little Grand Rapids,

and brings in the first haul
on the new road for Polar

Industries.

Call it a night.

I'm going to unload it
in the morning, and--

go from there.

NARRATOR: 300 miles north--

Well, we might as well be a
million miles from the nearest

town.

NARRATOR: Alex
Debogorski's also trying

bringing a load for Team Polar.

I'm going as fast as
I can go for the road.

Not very fast.

NARRATOR: A successful delivery
will trigger another round

of loads for Polar's
lucrative Shamattawa contract.

But after 14 hours
behind the wheel,

he's tempting fate
with every mile.

Just keep my eyes open,
and just keep going that way.

[inaudible], one of the other.

922, and 932--

70-- 68 kilometers to go.

Just going, going, and going.

I think I'm just going
to close one eye.

Let that one eye sleep while
the other one keeps watch.

OK.

They're charging up
the flying saucers

for another night of flying.

They're getting slightly
cooked by the microwaves that

are interfering with the radio.

My other truck there,
I got a sandwich

that lives under
the passenger seat,

and it comes out at 3:00 in the
morning and discusses politics.

It's a left-wing sandwich.

Who's going to
name a sandwich?

I'm not that crazy.

[laughter]

I figure the road's
going this way.

We're getting-- Ah--

(SINGING) [gibberish]

[laughter]

Better pay attention.

I'm gonna be laughing all
the way into the snowbank.

Almost there.

I could have went slower,
but if I go too much slower,

I'll be going backwards.

Well, I'm happy we're here.

I didn't think I was
going to make it.

NARRATOR: Alex
delivers his forklift,

securing more loads
for Polar Industries

and putting the
pressure on VP Express.

Well, our Zoom
Boom's still there.

Which is a good thing.

I'll go get some sleep,
and then in the morning,

when they drop off the Zoom
Boom, I'll get another load.

NARRATOR: The next morning,
at Polar headquarters--

OK.

NARRATOR: Boss Mark Kohaykewych
is quick to capitalize

on his team's success.

And he's making sure the
competition feels the heat.

I'm sending our A
trucks up to Shamattawa.

What I've constructed
the guys to do

is to park outside
of VP's shop and do

all their pre-trip inspections.

We want to make sure that
our competition down the road

knows that they're not going
to [bleep] with us this year.

These guys are going to open
up shop down the road from me,

put up a big sign, so when
I'm sitting in my office,

I can look at his sign.

All it's doing is motivating
me to work that much harder

to make him look like an ass.

It's gonna be a long
season for you boys.

[truck horn]

It's not-- I'm not
taking this lightly.

I'm going to-- I'm going
to make sure that this

is their first and last season.

The goal here is not to
beat Hugh in the load count.

The goal here is to shut
him down before he starts.

You know, he's a salesman.

Mark's got a lot of loads.

I know that.

Well, we'll see at the end
who's got more loads delivered.

NARRATOR: Next time on
"Ice Road Truckers--"

I'm tired of the
[bleep] around,

and I'm going to do it myself!

NARRATOR: VP Express
is riding high.

This is our strip.

NARRATOR: But what goes
up the winter road--

We gotta get the [bleep]
out of Dodge before I freeze

to death.

NARRATOR: Must come down.

This is [bleep] ridiculous.

I'm working for [bleep] clowns.

NARRATOR: And for the
drivers at Polar--

Whoa!

This thing's about
to go off the edge.

NARRATOR: There's no
shortcut to victory.

Yeah!

Whoa!

Holy [bleep]!
