PRETTY SMOOTH THIS MORNING.

WE'RE JUST GONNA KIND OF SEE HOW

WE'LL SHOW THEM THAT I CAN

HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA DO WELL

AND THINGS WILL BE FINE.

WE'VE BEEN DOING WHAT THEY WANT

DONE, AND WE'RE DOING IT AS THEY

WANT IT DONE.

[truck clangs, hisses]

SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.

I'M BLOWING COLD AIR ALL OF

A SUDDEN.

WE HAVE NO--NO HEAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE [bleep]

GOING ON HERE.

>> narrator: AT 40 BELOW, WITH

NO HEATER, THE TEMPERATURE IN

HUGH'S CAB PLUMMETS WITH EVERY

MILE.

>> SOMETHING'S HAPPENED.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DRESS UP

WARM FOR THE TRIP HOME.

WELL, THAT SUCKS.

>> I THINK THIS MORNING IT WAS

38 BELOW, EH?

IT'S ALWAYS BELOW, EH?

LOTS OF OLD STEAM COMING OUT OF

THEM STACKS UP THERE THIS

MORNING, BUD, LOOK.

MEANS IT'S [bleep] COLD OUT.

[engine sputtering]

SOMETHING'S [bleep] GOING ON.

>> narrator: BUT THE BOSS ISN'T

THE ONLY ONE FEELING THE WRATH

OF THE WINTER ROAD.

>> THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE LOSING

POWER.

I DON'T [bleep] UNDERSTAND THIS.

[bleep] TRUCK.

>> YEAH, WE GOT TO STOP.

EVERYBODY'S GOT TO STOP.

>> I'M NOT STOPPING.

I DON'T HAVE NO HEATER IN HERE,

SO--AND MY DRINKING WATER'S ALL

DODGE BEFORE I FREEZE TO DEATH.

[bleep] WITH ME AGAIN.

>> ART'S STUCK WITH A BROKEN

YOU READY?

>> YEAH.

[engine stalling]

WELL, [bleep], THAT'S NO GOOD.

>> DID IT LIGHT UP?

>> NOT A [bleep] LICK.

>> NO?

WE DEFINITELY GOT A SHORT

IN THE TRUCK.

POPPED SOME FUSES BESIDES, THE

BATTERIES ARE ABSOLUTELY DEAD IN

THE WATER.

THERE'S NOT A BIT OF JUICE IN

ANY BATTERY.

WE'RE GONNA LEAVE IT RIGHT WHERE

IT'S AT, WE'RE GONNA LOAD IN MY

TRUCK, AND WE'RE GONNA HEAD FOR

HOME.

WE'RE GONNA GET THE HELL OFF

THIS ICE ROAD SO WE CAN GET--

WE CAN GET SOME FOOD IN OUR

BELLIES AND GET WARMED UP AND

GET OUT OF HERE.

>> I'M NOT INTO LEAVING MY TRUCK

BEHIND.

>> SEE, IT'S A [bleep]

SITUATION, AND THE WHOLE [bleep]

THING SUCKS, BUT--BUT THE BOTTOM

LINE IS, IS NO, WE DON'T WANT TO

SACRIFICE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T

ANYTHING--ANYBODY'S LIVES IN

JEOPARDY OVER A FRICKIN' BROKE

DOWN TRUCK.

DEAL.

LET'S [bleep] OFF THEN.

LET'S LEAVE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

>> narrator: ART'S SECOND RUN

COMES TO AN END, AND NOW HE'S

BEING HAULED OFF THE WINTER

ROADS WITH HIS FUTURE AT

VP EXPRESS STILL IN DOUBT.

>> WELL, BUDDY, THIS IS

THE TRUTH, AND RIGHT FROM

THE [bleep] HEART.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE THAT

[bleep] TRUCK THERE.

>> I KNOW YOU DIDN'T.

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T, ART.

>> NOT A [bleep] BIT OF IT.

>> narrator: 120 MILES WEST...

LIES THE NEWLY OPEN ROAD TO

OXFORD HOUSE.

PACKED WITH TIGHT CORNERS, FRESH

ICE CROSSINGS, AND NARROW

PASSAGEWAYS.

THE REMOTE TRAIL POSES A THREAT

TO EVEN THE MOST SKILLED

DRIVERS.

>> I'M TAKING THIS GRADER TO

OXFORD HOUSE RIGHT NOW, AND THEY

NEED IT TO SMOOTH THIS ROAD OUT.

>> narrator: POLAR DRIVER LISA

KELLY IS THE FIRST TO BRAVE THE

RUGGED ROAD, HAULING HER

HEAVIEST LOAD YET,

A 15-TON GRADER.

>> THE WING BLADE ON THE SIDE OF

THE GRADER IS 10, 15 FEET,

MAYBE, LONG, AND I THINK IT'S

SWINGING AROUND.

DEFINITELY GONNA HAVE TO KEEP

AN EYE ON IT.

OH, MY GOSH.

THIS IS A NARROW BRIDGE.

I AM NOT SO SURE THIS IS GONNA

FIT.

>> narrator: THE GRADER AND

BLADE ARE WIDER THAN THE BRIDGE.

IF LISA TRIES TO CROSS, SHE

COULD DAMAGE THE LOAD, DESTROY

THE BRIDGE, OR END UP STRANDED

IN THE WILDERNESS.

>> I'M GONNA HAVE TO PULL OVER

HERE.

FOR SURE.

AND NOW I'M LOOKING, AND THAT

BLADE'S HANGING OUT PRETTY FAR.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING,

SO I CAN GET--FIT THROUGH THE

BRIDGE, 'CAUSE THIS IS A VERY

WIDE LOAD, AND MY DIMENSIONS

KEEP CHANGING EVERY TIME THAT

THING SWINGS AROUND.

SO I'D LIKE TO BE AS NARROW AS

POSSIBLE.

I'M GONNA TRY TO TIE THIS BLADE

BACK, SO I CAN FIT ACROSS THE

BRIDGE.

THERE'S NO WAY AROUND IT,

OTHERWISE I'M JUST GONNA TAKE

THAT WING BLADE AND JUST SCRAPE

IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE GIRDERS

OF THE BRIDGE.

PLAN "B," REALLY HARD WORK.

MY GOAL IS TO TRY TO PIN IT BACK

TO SOMETHING WITHOUT DESTROYING

IT, AND IF YOU LEAVE SLACK IN

THE CHAIN, WHICH THERE'S MOST

DEFINITELY GONNA BE, 'CAUSE I'M

WEAK, IT'LL SNAP THE CHAIN, AND

I ONLY HAVE ONE CHAIN.

[grunts]

YAY, NOW I JUST NEED A LASSO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA REACH

IT.

IT'S NOT--IT'S TOTALLY NOT GONNA

WORK.

IT WORKS IN THE MOVIES, RIGHT?

[grunts] YEAH!

I ROCK!

FIRST TRY.

[laughing]

I HIT IT PERFECT!

I'M GONNA HAVE TO, LIKE, RUN IT

OVER THIS THING AND THROUGH HERE

AND OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE IN

ORDER TO REALLY GET IT

TIGHTENED DOWN.

OW.

[bleep] HIT ME IN THE FACE.

I'M GONNA FALL ON MY ASS.

THAT'S AWESOME.

SEE IF I'M GONNA FIT ACROSS

THE BRIDGE NOW.

TALLYHO, TOODLE-OO.

>> narrator: LISA'S FIX SHAVED

A FEW FEET OFF THE LOAD, BUT

THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW IF IT'LL

BE ENOUGH, OR IF THE CHAIN WILL

HOLD.

>> IT'S STILL JUST...CRAPPY.

OH, IT'S MOVING SO MUCH.

OKAY, HERE'S THE BRIDGE.

I'M JUST GONNA GO SLOW RIGHT

HERE, BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE

SURE THAT I FIT.

FIRST, WE'RE GONNA TEST THIS OUT

HERE.

I GOT PLENTY ON THIS SIDE,

AND...[muttering]

[bridge groaning, creaking]

NOT BAD.

SO I MADE IT ACROSS THE BRIDGE,

BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT

ACROSS THE BRIDGE IF I WOULD'VE

NOT HAVE TIED IT DOWN LIKE THAT.

FOR SURE.

I INK WE PULLED ABOUT FIVE,

SIX FEET OFF OUR WIDTH.

REALLY GLAD I DID, BECAUSE IF I

TRIED TO GET UP TO THAT BRIDGE

AND CROSS IT, WITHOUT CH--

WITHOUT SEEING THAT BLADE,

I COULD'VE TAKEN OUT, LIKE,

A WHOLE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE.

>> narrator: WHILE LISA HEADS

INTO UNKNOWN COUNTRY...

100 MILES AWAY, IN THE TOWN

OF NORWAY HOUSE, VP EXPRESS

DRIVERS TODD DEWEY AND ART BURKE

ARE OFF THE WINTER ROAD.

>> HE WANTS ME TO GET ROLLING,

GET BACK ON THE ROAD, AND GET

BACK, SO IT LOOKS LIKE, UH,

PROBABLY GONNA END UP HAVING TO

JUST LEAVE YOU HERE UNTIL VLAD

SHOWS UP.

>> narrator: AND BOSS VLAD

PLESKOT IS ON HIS WAY TO HELP

ART WITH HIS TRUCK.

>> HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET YOUR

TRUCK ROLLING TODAY, AND YOU'LL

BE RIGHT BEHIND ME, SO...

>> [laughs] YES, BUD, WE'LL SEE

YOU IN WINNIPEG, EH?

>> OKAY, ART. SEE YOU.

>> narrator: TODD DRIVES BACK TO

HEADQUARTERS WHILE ART WAITS

FOR THE THE MAD RUSSIAN.

[cell phone rings]

>> YES, BUD.

OKAY.

VLAD COULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE

PARKING LOT.

HE'S DOWN AT THE END OF THE ICE

ROAD.

COULDN'T COME HERE.

THERE'S A BIG PARKING LOT OUT

THERE YOU CAN LAND A [bleep]

PLANE IN, BUT VLAD, HE'S DOWN

THERE PARKED AT THE END OF THE

[bleep] ICE ROAD ABOUT 3/4 OF A

MILE AWAY, SO I GOT TO TAKE MY

GEAR NOW AND WALK DOWN THERE

BECAUSE HE CAN'T TURN THE

[bleep] TRUCK AROUND AND COME

AND GET ME.

SO I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW

IMPRESSED I AM WITH THIS, SO NOW

I'M GONNA HAVE TO HITCHHIKE DOWN

THE [bleep] ROAD, EH?

YOU CALL THIS ICE ROAD TRUCKING?

THIS A GOOD COMPANY?

HOLY [bleep].

WOULD ANYBODY NORMAL WORK FOR

THESE PEOPLE?

THINK ABOUT IT.

HE DROVE RIGHT BY THE NORWAY

HOUSE, MAN, AND DIDN'T EVEN STOP

TO GET ME, KNOWING [bleep] WELL

THAT'S WHERE I WAS.

ANOTHER PRICK MOVE.

LOOK AT THE DISTANCE THAT

[bleep] HAD TO TURN AROUND, MAN.

LOOK AT ALL THE DISTANCE, LOOK.

TO TURN THIS [bleep] TRUCK

AROUND.

INSTEAD WE HAD TO WALK--I HAD TO

WALK [bleep] DOWN HERE, EH?

YOU TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING

WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

HUH?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I'M WORKING FOR CLOWNS.

THIS IS GONNA BE ROUGH.

[horn honks]

>> narrator: ON THE ROAD BACK TO

VP EXPRESS HEADQUARTERS...

>> I AM PHYSICALLY AND

EMOTIONALLY COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED

ON THIS FIRST TRIP HERE.

>> narrator: TODD DEWEY'S ONLY

ON HIS FIRST TRIP WITH THE NEW

COMPANY, AND HE WAS LEFT BEHIND

BY THE BOSS TO DEAL WITH

ART BURKE'S BROKEN-DOWN RIG.

>> YOU KNOW, WE GOT A BREAKDOWN.

YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE

THE GUY BROKE DOWN.

HE WAS WITH US AND HE, UH--YOU

KNOW, I DON'T--IT KIND OF FELT

TO ME LIKE HE REALLY DIDN'T GIVE

A [bleep] IF WE SAT THERE FOR

FOUR DAYS ON THE ICE ROAD BY

OURSELVES OR NOT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHEN YOU HAVE AN EMPLOYEE, OR A

COUPLE GUYS YOU'RE RUNNING WITH,

YOU KNOW, BREAKING DOWN ON THE

ICE ROAD WHERE IT'S 40 BELOW, NO

HEAT, YOU KNOW, LOW ON FOOD, YOU

KNOW, YOU DON'T JUST TURN YOUR

BACK AND SAY, "WELL, GOOD LUCK.

I'M TAKING MY TRUCK, AND I'LL

SEE YOU GUYS WHENEVER YOU GET

BACK."

YOU KNOW?

THAT DON'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME.

I'M JUST NOT THAT TYPE OF

PERSON, YOU KNOW.

NOBODY'S LIFE IS WORTH THAT

BROKE-DOWN TRUCK SITTING ON THE

SIDE OF THE ICE ROAD, SO THAT'S

KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, BIG, RED

FLAG, YOU KNOW, WAVED IN YOUR

FACE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU--YOU

MIGHT HAVE A BOSS THAT, YOU

KNOW, REALLY DON'T REALLY GIVE

A RAT'S ASS ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW.

ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS GET HIS

LOAD DELIVERED AND MAKE HIS

MONEY AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU

MAKE IT THERE OR BACK IS, YOU

KNOW, NOT HIS PROBLEM, AND YOU

KNOW, SO THAT TELLS ME THAT

WHEN I'M UP HERE, I'M GONNA HAVE

TO LOOK OUT FOR MYSELF, LOOK OUT

FOR MY WELL-BEING, BECAUSE

OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT GONNA HAVE

ANYBODY THERE TO HELP ME OR WAIT

FOR ME IF SOMETHING IS TO GO

DOWN.

SO THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE

BIT--LITTLE BIT SHADY, YOU KNOW.

MAKES A GUY WORRY ABOUT HIS NEW

JOB THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE HE'S

NOT CARED FOR.

SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR EACH OTHER

OUT HERE ON THESE ROADS.

>> narrator: WHILE VP EXPRESS IS

FALLING APART...

[phone rings]

BACK AT POLAR INDUSTRIES...

>> POLAR.

>> narrator: OWNER MARK

KOHAYKEWYCH KEEPS LANDING

CONTRACTS.

>> YEAH, WE CAN HAVE FOUR TRUCKS

THERE ON THURSDAY.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

BYE-BYE.

THE WAY IT'S LOOKING RIGHT NOW

FOR HUGH, IT'S LOOKING PRETTY

DESPERATE, PRETTY BAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHEN WE'RE ROLLING OUT OF HERE

FULL STEAM AHEAD AND LOOKING FOR

MORE DRIVERS AND TRUCKS, THEY'RE

SITTING THERE TWIDDLING THEIR

THUMBS.

>> DOWN THE STREET AT

VP EXPRESS...

[phone ringing]

BOSS HUGH ROWLAND'S JUST GETTING

BACK TO THE OFFICE.

>> HOW'D YOU MAKE OUT?

>> YOUR--YOUR ENGINE CAN'T WARM

UP, YOU CAN'T GET HEAT.

>> narrator: AND HIS TRUCK IS

DOWN FOR REPAIRS.

>> TOOK OUT THE SEALS ON THE

ENGINE FAN, SO WE'LL HAVE TO

REPLACE THE ENGINE FAN.

>> HOLY [bleep].

>> narrator: HUGH IS LOSING TIME

TO GET HIS NEW COMPANY AHEAD OF

POLAR, AND ART'S TRUCK IS STILL

STUCK ON THE ROAD.

>> HEY.

>> HEY, HUEY.

>> [bleep] ART.

WHAT'D HE DO NOW?

>> LAST I HEARD THAT TRUCK

IS--IT'S PRETTY--PRETTY POOCHED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE [bleep] HE

DID TO IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT

THE HELL WE'RE GONNA END UP

DOING WITH IT.

>> [bleep] THAT GUY.

THAT GUY'S NOTHING BUT

A PROBLEM.

>> JUST A FRIGGIN' NIGHTMARE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LIKE, WE GOT ALL THIS [bleep] TO

HAUL.

WE GOT LOADS TO MOVE, AND I GOT

THAT TRUCK OUT THERE, AND NOW WE

GOT VLAD WITH ANOTHER TRUCK UP

THERE, SO I GOT TWO TRUCKS OUT

OF THE PICTURE, AND LIKE, IT'S

JUST IT'S--IT'S CRAZY.

>> [bleep], HALF OUR COMPANY'S

UP THERE BECAUSE OF ART.

>> WELL, EXACTLY.

>> YEAH, I THINK WE'RE GONNA

HAVE TO LET HIM GO.

THE SOONER, THE BETTER.

HE'S NOT COMPANY MATERIAL, AS

FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

WE'RE NOT RUNNING A TRAINING

SCHOOL HERE, WE'RE RUNNING--

WE'RE TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS

TEAM.

>> narrator: WHILE HUGH

STRUGGLES TO KEEP VP EXPRESS

TOGETHER, POLAR KEEPS RACKING UP

LOADS.

>> GET IT CLOSE TO THE SHED.

OKAY.

>> THAT WAS PRETTY EASY.

>> narrator: AS DARRELL WARD IS

FINISHING A MORNING OFF-LOAD...

>> ALL RIGHT, LOOKS LIKE MAYBE I

FOUND A BACKHOE.

>> narrator: AND HE'S GEARING UP

TO TAKE ON ANOTHER ONE.

>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE MY CHILDREN,

TERRA GRADUATING, RENO IN

COLLEGE, AND YOU KNOW, I CAME

OUT HERE.

I HAVE TO MAKE SOME MONEY.

I'VE GOT TO GET BACK HOME,

AND--AND PUT A LIFE TOGETHER

THAT WE CAN ENJOY, AND SPEND

TIME TOGETHER.

I'M UNLOADED.

>> narrator: TO PICK UP THE

LOAD...

>> OFF TO PAUINGASSI.

GET A MIXER TRUCK.

>> narrator: DARRELL'S

TRAILBLAZING ANOTHER

NEWLY-OPENED ROAD.

>> IT'S SLICK AS [bleep] RIGHT

HERE.

OH, I GOT MYSELF STUCK, BIGGER

THAN [bleep].

WHAT THE [bleep]?

SON OF A [bleep].

HOW'S THAT FOR A SNOW BANK

BETWEEN ME?

THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES THAT YOU

REALLY HAVE TO BE INVENTIVE TO

GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE

PREDICAMENT THAT YOU GET

YOURSELF INTO.

WELL, I'M GONNA HAVE TO WINCH UP

AROUND THAT TREE.

SEE IF IT'LL PULL ME SIDEWAYS.

>> narrator: DARRELL'S GONNA USE

THE WINCH TO TRY AND PULL HIS

TRUCK OUT OF THE DITCH.

>> WHOO!

LITTLE SLICK OUT HERE.

HOLY [bleep].

DEEP-ASS [bleep] SNOW TOO.

[bleep]!

[grunts] I MADE IT.

I MADE IT!

HOOK TO THIS [bleep] TREE AND

WINCH MYSELF BACK TO THE ROAD.

ALL RIGHT, GIVE THAT A TRY.

OH, MAN, THAT'S TOUGH

DRAGGING THAT CABLE THROUGH

THE TREES.

ALL RIGHT.

[chain clanking]

OH, [bleep].

[tree creaking]

ALL RIGHT.

COME ON, MOTHER.

TIGHT.

[grunting] ALL RIGHT.

THAT WORKED.

GOT ME BACK ON THE ROAD, ANYWAY.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN GET OUT OF

HERE NOW.

LONG AS I'M MOVING FORWARD,

I DON'T NEED TO STOP.

>> narrator: WITH THE DANGERS OF

A NEW ROAD WAITING AHEAD...

120 MILES NORTH...

>> I AM DOWN THE ROAD ON THE WAY

TO OXFORD HOUSE.

>> narrator: POLAR TEAMMATE

LISA KELLY ALSO HEADS INTO

UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY WITH

A 15-TON GRADER.

>> IT'S BEEN A LONG TRIP.

IT'S BEEN DRAGGING ON AND ON

AND ON AND ON.

BUT THAT'S OKAY, ACTUALLY,

BECAUSE AS LONG AS I'M FINDING

LOADS AND TAKING 'EM PLACES,

JUST DEALING WITH THINGS WHEN

THEY COME.

I MEAN, THIS IS MY LIFE, YOU

KNOW?

THIS IS WHAT I DO.

I'M HERE TO WORK.

>> narrator: TO BRING THIS LOAD

IN FOR POLAR, LISA HAMMERING

DOWN.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE THE ROAD IS

SMOOTHER, AND I DON'T KNOW IF

IT'S 'CAUSE THE SNOW FILLED IN

THE CHATTER BUMPS.

I'M ACTUALLY IN HIGH GEAR, WHICH

IS AMAZING.

OOH.

WHOA.

HOLY [bleep].

WHAT THE--

[truck beeps]

OH, MY GOSH.

IS THIS AN ICE ROAD?

>> narrator: IN THE CANADIAN

WILDERNESS, LISA KELLY'S TRYING

TO MAKE GOOD TIME ON

AN UNFAMILIAR ROAD.

>> WHOA.

HOLY [bleep].

>> narrator: BUT A SUDDEN HILL

SENT HER 15-TON LOAD SLIDING OUT

OF CONTROL.

>> WHAT THE--

[truck beeps]

>> narrator: AND IT'S LANDED HER

IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIVER.

>> IS THIS AN ICE ROAD?

>> narrator: IT'S THE LAST PLACE

A DRIVER WITH A 15-TON HAUL

WANTS TO BE.

>> OH, YEAH.

IT'S CRACKING.

WELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET

CLOSE TO THE CRACKS.

OKAY, THAT'S KIND OF SCARY.

[ice cracking]

REALLY CONFUSING, 'CAUSE I

COULDN'T SEE ANY--

[ice cracks]

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE THAT

NOISE, RIGHT?

[ice cracking]

IT'S CRACKING LIKE CRAZY.

OKAY, IT'S REALLY HARD NOT TO

WANT TO GO REALLY FAST AND GET

OFF IT WHEN IT MAKES THAT MUCH

NOISE.

>> narrator: KEEPING THE ICE

STABLE REQUIRES A SLOW AND

STEADY SPEED.

>> OH, YEAH, I'M GETTING OFF

THIS LAKE RIGHT NOW.

OH, YEAH, I CAN'T GO FAST.

[ice cracking]

OKAY, SO I'M CLIPPING ALONG AT

90, 'CAUSE THEN THE SIGN SAYS,

"10 KILOMETERS," AND IT, LIKE,

DROPS OFF THE BANK AND CROSSES

THIS RIVER, AND THEN IT'S LIKE,

DIDN'T EVEN SAY, "ICE CROSSING."

DIDN'T ANYTHING.

THERE WAS NO WARNING.

IT WAS LIKE, "GO 90.

GO 10."

SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS TRYING TO

GET DOWN TO 10, SLID ALL THE WAY

DOWN THE HILL AND PRACTICALLY

ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RIVER.

IT'S LIKE, "THANKS FOR THE

WARNING."

>> narrator: WHILE LISA FINDS

A SURPRISE AROUND EVERY CORNER,

100 MILES SOUTH...

[horn honks]

VP EXPRESS BOSS VLAD PLESKOT HAS

HAULED STRUGGLING DRIVER ART

BURKE TO HIS BROKEN-DOWN RIG,

HOPING TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING.

>> TODD AND I WERE TRYING IT,

AND LIKE TODD SAID, HE SAYS,

"EVEN IF WE GET IT--EVEN IF WE

GET POWER THROUGH, IT'S NOT

GONNA WORK, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO

LIGHTS OR NOTHING IN THE GOD

DARN THING, RIGHT?"

AND THAT'S WHERE WE LEFT HER,

BUDDY.

>> NOW THE TRUCK IS DEAD, AND WE

GOT TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES, AND

WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY JOB.

IT'S--IT'S A HARD JOB, AND YOU

GOT TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, AND

YOU GOT TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE

TO DO THAT, AND ART JUST DOESN'T

HAVE THAT.

>> WELL, WE'RE BACK AT THE SITE.

IT'S ABOUT 36 BELOW, AND MOTHER,

MOTHER, IS IT COLD, MAN.

SO VLAD IS HERE, AND WE'RE GONNA

SEE IF WE CAN'T GET THIS THING

GOING.

HERE, VLAD, BUDDY.

WE'RE GONNA TRY OUR BEST.

IF WE DON'T GET IT GOING, I'M

NOT SURE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING

TO HAPPEN THEN.

[tool tapping on metal]

IT'S THAT COLD, WHEN YOU PICK UP

A WRENCH, YOU CAN FEEL IT

BURNING INTO YOUR FINGERS.

I DON'T REALLY THINK THIS IS

GONNA HAPPEN TONIGHT.

I HOPE IT DOES, BUT I DON'T

THINK IT IS, BECAUSE EVEN WHEN

WE GET HER TURNING OVER, WE'RE

ALL FROZE UP AND EVERYTHING, EH?

IT'S NOT GONNA GO, EH?

THERE'S SOMETHING HAYWIRE WITH

THE WIRING.

IT'S JUST TOO MANY PROBLEMS,

I THINK.

>> RIGHT NOW IT'S -45.

I'M TIRED, AND I'M RUNNING LOW

ON HOPE.

>> HE'S BEEN UP TOO LONG, SO

WE'RE GONNA SLEEP IN THE TRUCK

FOR THE NIGHT, EH?

HE'S GONNA GET THE BUNK, AND I'M

GONNA SLEEP IN THE PASSENGER

SEAT, I SUPPOSE.

OH, WELL.

HAPPY DAYS.

TOMORROW MORNING, WE'RE GONNA

HOPEFULLY GET THIS [bleep] THING

GOING, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE

ON OUR WAY.

THIS IS ICE ROAD TRUCKIN'.

ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GET

INVOLVED WITH THIS, I HIGHLY

RECOMMEND YOU CALL YOUR--YOUR

PSYCHIATRIST, OR YOUR THERAPIST,

RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

[laughs]

>> narrator: AT THE END OF

A NEWLY OPENED ROAD...

[horn honks]

>> WELL, MIGHT AS WELL GO FIND

OUT WHAT'S UP.

>> POLAR DRIVER DARRELL WARD

ARRIVES TO PICK UP HIS FIRST

BACKHAUL OF THE SEASON.

>> YEAH, THIS LOOKS LIKE

THE RIGHT PLACE.

YOU MUST BE--

>> KEVIN.

>> KEVIN?

DARRELL, HOW YOU DOIN'?

>> GOOD, GOOD, AND YOU?

>> NOT BAD.

I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M HAULIN'

BACK, HUH?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

WE CAN'T GET HER MOVIN'.

>> CAN'T GET HER MOVIN'?

>> CAN'T EVEN--WE COULDN'T EVEN

BUDGE IT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BRAKES

ARE LOCKED ON, OR--

>> OH, I'M SURE THEY ARE.

>> I DON'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT

ABOUT IT, SO HOPEFULLY YOU DO.

>> narrator: THE BACKHAUL WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE EXTRA MONEY FOR

DARRELL.

>> SERIOUSLY TRYING TO START IT?

SHE AIN'T GONNA FIRE.

>> narrator: BUT THE FROZEN

20-TON TRUCK IS MORE THAN HE

BARGAINED FOR.

>> NOT GONNA GET IT RUNNING.

WE CAN DRAG IT.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL HOOK UP TO HER

TO THE WINCH, AND GIVE IT

A PULL.

>> EVERY BACKHAUL'S WORTH IT,

BUT THIS ONE IS A [bleep] PAIN

IN THE ASS.

I COULD'VE BEEN BACK TO [bleep]

WINNIPEG AND HAD ANOTHER LOAD

OUT BY THE TIME THESE [bleep]

IDIOTS GET THEIR [bleep]

TOGETHER.

[backup alert beeping]

IF THEY WANTED THIS THING HAULED

OUT OF HERE, THEY SHOULD'VE HAD

IT READY TO GO.

>> narrator: DETERMINED TO EARN

THE MUCH-NEEDED PAYCHECK,

DARRELL TAKES MATTERS INTO HIS

OWN HANDS.

>> ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA [bleep]

WINCH THAT [bleep] RIGHT OUT OF

THERE, IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

ALL RIGHT.

[chain creaking]

I NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS

KIND OF [bleep] IN MY NORMAL

JOB.

[truck creaks]

>> narrator: THE TRUCK'S FREE,

BUT DARRELL STILL NEEDS A WAY TO

GET THAT 20-TON LOAD ONTO HIS

TRAILER.

>> WHERE DO WE PLAN ON LOADING

THIS AT?

WHAT DO YOU GOT IN MIND?

I GOT TO HAVE A LOADING RAMP OR

SOMETHING.

>> YEAH, WE HAVEN'T GOT THAT FAR

YET.

>> OKAY.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE

GONNA GET IT ON HERE WITHOUT

A RAMP.

>> HOPIN' YOU'D COME UP WITH

THAT IDEA.

>> YEAH.

[sighs] THESE GUYS ARE [bleep]

IDIOTS.

HOLY [bleep].

[bleep] THREE-RING CIRCUS AROUND

HERE.

I'M TIRED OF THE [bleep] AROUND,

AND I'M GONNA DO IT MYSELF.

I'M GONNA LOAD THIS [bleep]

TRUCK ON THAT TRAILER, AND I'M

GONNA BLADE MYSELF A [bleep]

LOADING RAMP, AND I'M GONNA

WINCH THAT [bleep] ON.

I'M GONNA GET 'ER DONE, AND I'M

GONNA GET 'ER DONE RIGHT NOW.

>> narrator: DARRELL'S PLAN IS

TO WINCH THE MASSIVE CEMENT

TRUCK ONTO HIS TRAILER WITH

A RAMP MADE ENTIRELY OF SNOW.

>> I'M GONNA [bleep] WINCH IT UP

ON THIS TRAILER, AND I'M GONNA

GET THE [bleep] OUT OF HERE.

THIS FAR, I'M NOT STOPPIN' NOW.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE STEERING

STRAIGHT.

>> YEAH, GREAT, FINE.

>> COME ON.

WHOA!

[bleep]!

THIS THING'S ABOUT TO GO OFF

THE EDGE.

HOLY [bleep]!

>> narrator: 200 MILES NORTH OF

WINNIPEG...

>> COME ON.

>> narrator: POLAR DRIVER

DARRELL WARD'S ABOUT TO LOSE HIS

20-TON BACKHAUL.

>> THIS THING'S ABOUT TO GO OFF

THE EDGE.

[engine revving]

HANG ON!

RIGHT ON!

I GOT IT ON THERE.

IT'S TIME TO CHAIN THIS [bleep]

DOWN AND GET THE HELL OUT OF

THIS TOWN.

[bleep] HEADED FOR WINNIPEG.

THIS IS WHY MARK HIRED ME.

THERE ISN'T ANYBODY ELSE CAN GET

THIS JOB DONE.

YOU NOTICE THEY DIDN'T SEND VP

UP HERE TO DO THIS JOB.

I'M THE GUY THAT'LL RUN VP OUT

OF TOWN.

I'M THE GUY THAT'LL DO THE JOBS

THAT NOBODY ELSE WILL.

ANY LOAD ON ANY ROAD.

TIME TO GET OUT OF HERE.

ROCK AND ROLL.

>> narrator: WHILE DARRELL GETS

ROLLING WITH ANOTHER LOAD FOR

POLAR...

[horn honks]

200 MILES NORTH ON THE ROAD TO

WASAGAMACK, VP EXPRESS IS SHUT

DOWN.

>> ♪ GOOD MORNING, ICE ROADS ♪

♪ WE LOVE YOU ♪

[laughs]

>> narrator: ART BURKE'S ON THIN

ICE WITH BOSS VLAD PLESKOT AS

THEY STRUGGLE TO GET THE TRUCK

UP AND RUNNING.

>> WELL, WE SLEPT IN VLAD'S

TRUCK LAST NIGHT, VLAD AND I.

HE HAD THE BUNK AND I HAD THE

FRONT SEAT, SO I WAS PROPPED UP

ALL NIGHT LONG.

FELT LIKE I WAS IN A [bleep]--

I WISH IT HAD HAVE BEEN

AN ELECTRIC CHAIR.

WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY WORSE.

THIS GENTLEMAN HERE NEVER TALKS.

WE MIGHT GET HER GOING.

WE'RE GONNA--WE'RE GONNA GIVE

HER A YANK.

HE'S GONNA TIE A CHAIN ON ME AND

TOW ME BACKWARDS, SEE IF HE

CAN'T JUMPSTART ME, EH?

WE'RE ALL SET?

>> NO.

THAT'S THE--"U"--IT LOOKS LIKE A

"U" BOLT.

>> OH, I KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT.

I GOT--OKAY--YEAH.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.

I JUST GOT TO STAND HERE AND LET

HIM DO HIS THING.

HE DOESN'T TALK, SO I DON'T KNOW

WHAT THE [bleep] HE'S DOING.

[bleep] STIFF HAS GOT MORE TO

SAY.

HOLY [bleep], MAN.

I'VE--I KNOW--I KNOW--I NEVER

WORK WITH A GUY THAT NEVER SAYS

A WORD.

NOT A WORD, EVER.

HOLY [bleep].

ALMOST LIKE A MAD WOMAN.

JUST DON'T WANT TO TALK, EH?

>> EVERYTHING IS [bleep] FROZEN.

HE DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH MONEY

IS INVOLVED.

MY TIME, TRUCK DOWN, TRAILER UP,

LOADS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE

DELIVERED, MECHANIC TIME.

HE WASTED A LOT OF OUR TIME AND

A LOT OF MONEY TO US.

[door alarm pinging]

>> I DON'T KNOW.

MUST BE GO TIME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

HERE.

I GUESS WE'RE HOOKING IT UP.

NO ONE SAID A WORD.

>> narrator: THE MAD RUSSIAN'S

GOT A PLAN.

DRAG THE TRUCK OUT FROM UNDER

THE TRAILER, AND SEE IF THEY CAN

PULL START IT.

[horn honks]

>> [sighs]

>> [bleep]

WHEN I PUSH THE YELLOW ONE IN,

SHE JUST DROPS LIKE

A MOTHER[bleep].

>> YOU MUST BE [bleep] KIDDING

ME, MAN.

DID YOU PULL THE PIN?

>> YES, OF COURSE I PULLED THE

PIN.

>> WHY WE--

>> WHAT THE [bleep]?

IT BOUNCED BACK INTO PLACE OR

SOMETHING.

I DEFINITELY PULLED THE PIN.

NOW YOU CAN'T [bleep] PULL.

THAT WAS THE FIRST [bleep] THING

I DID--DID THIS MORNING.

[bleep]

BOY, WE'RE NOT WINNING AT ALL.

NOW GO?

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE [bleep] FREE

NOW.

WE'RE ALL SET NOW.

>> IS IT?

>> YES.

>> NOW LET'S TRY AGAIN.

>> I DON'T GET ONE STRAIGHT

INFORMATION.

EVERYTHING IS FIVE-MINUTE

MONOLOGUE, EVEN IF THE QUESTION

IS YES OR NO.

>> narrator: WITH THE PIN OUT

AND THE TRAILER FREE, THEY'RE

READY TO TRY AGAIN.

>> COME ON, BABY.

>> narrator: BUT NO LUCK.

>> I FEEL A LITTLE PRESSURE,

THEN I FEEL 'EM RELEASE, EH?

AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S

MAYBE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

WE HAVEN'T GOT ENOUGH TORQUE TO

MAKE 'EM RELEASE.

BUT THAT AIR PROBLEM, THAT SEEMS

SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD THE LAST

TIME.

>> YEAH, OKAY, WELL--

>> I DON'T KNOW, BUDDY.

THAT'S ALL, I'M JUST TELLING

YOU WHAT I KNOW, BUD.

IT'S NOT VERY MUCH.

>> YEAH, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO

IS WE'RE GOING TO GO TO

WASAGAMACK.

I'M GONNA PUT YOU ON A PLANE AND

SEND YOU TO WINNIPEG.

>> HOLY [bleep].

THEY'RE THROWING THE TOWEL IN.

>> I HAVE A MECHANIC FLYING IN.

HE'S GONNA GIVE ME A HAND.

TO ME, ART IS DONE.

I MEAN, I CAN'T USE A GUY LIKE

THAT.

YOU KNOW, HE'S DOING MISTAKE

AFTER MISTAKE AFTER MISTAKE.

AND THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT OF

IT.

>> FRUSTRATING.

[bleep], MAN, I SHOULD'VE STAYED

HOME.

I DIDN'T COME DOWN HERE TO FLY

AROUND, BUDDY.

I CAME HERE TO DRIVE A [bleep]

TRUCK.

>> I MEAN, HE'S TRYING TO SAVE

FACE.

ANYBODY CAN SEE THAT HE KNOWS

[bleep] ALL ABOUT TRUCKING.

>> narrator: ON THE WINTER ROAD

TO THE VILLAGE OF OXFORD

HOUSE...

>> GUESS THEY WEREN'T LYING WHEN

THEY SAID THIS ROAD WAS GONNA BE

ROUGH.

>> narrator: LISA KELLY'S JUST

20 MILES FROM DELIVERING HER

15-TON PAYLOAD FOR TEAM POLAR.

>> DAY TWO OF THIS GRADER.

I'M TELLING YOU, THIS GRADER IS

PRETTY NEEDED RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T SEE WHY THIS ROAD IS SO

BUMPY.

IT JUST NEEDS TO BE FLATTENED

OUT.

LIKE, TAKE SOME OF THIS SNOW AND

FILL IN THE HOLES.

I'M SURE IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ROAD

MAINTENANCE.

I JUST KNOW WHEN IT SUCKS.

[truck clatters]

UH-OH.

[air hissing]

UH-OH, DON'T DO THAT.

CRAP.

THIS THING IS MAKING NOISE.

IT'S LOSING SO MUCH AIR.

IT'S, LIKE, HISSING, AND THEN IT

STOPS, AND THEN IT HISSES.

I'M GONNA PULL OVER AND CHECK

IT.

I'M GONNA JUMP OUT AND SEE IF

IT'S LEAKING OR NOT.

DAMN IT.

[air hissing]

IT IS.

WHAT THE HELL?

>> narrator: AN AIR LEAK WILL

SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK'S BRAKING

SYSTEM...

>> OH, BOY.

>> narrator: AND SHE'LL BE OUT

HERE FOR DAYS WAITING FOR

A MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE

LEAKING VALVE.

>> SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO, I'M

GONNA JUMP IN THE TRUCK WHERE

IT'S WARM AND SEE IF I CAN MATCH

MY PARTS.

>> narrator: UNLESS SHE CAN DO

IT HERSELF.

>> SO I NEED TO FIND ONE THE

SAME SIZE.

IT'S PROBABLY THIS.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT.

WELL, LET'S SEE HERE.

SO AS LONG AS IT'S THE SAME SIZE

AND FITS...

OKAY, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S--IT

LOOKS LIKE THE PIECE WE NEED,

WHICH IS FREAKING AWESOME.

OKAY, HERE'S MY PIECES.

I'M READY.

I TOOK OFF THE OLD PIECE, 'CAUSE

THE LINE BROKE OFF OF IT, AND

NOW I'M PUTTING IT BACK

TOGETHER.

GONNA PUT THIS PIECE ON FIRST.

BAD CONNECTIONS.

THERE WE GO.

OKAY, THAT'S AS TIGHT AS IT'S

GONNA GET WITHOUT STRIPPING

THE [bleep] OUT OF IT.

WE'LL FIND OUT IF IT'S FIXED IN

A MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S TRY IT.

OKAY, I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THIS

THING TO GO.

I DON'T HEAR IT HISSIN' RIGHT

NOW.

SO, SO FAR, SO GOOD, BUT I

IMAGINE IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE

BIT OF BUMPS BEFORE IT'S GONNA

START WEARING IT THROUGH AGAIN.

I'VE BEEN OVER-USING MY BRAIN

TODAY.

I'VE HAD TO BE CREATIVE IN MORE

WAYS THAN ONE.

>> narrator: A QUICK FIX GETS

LISA BACK ON THE ROAD, AND INTO

THE DELIVERY SITE AT THE TOWN OF

OXFORD HOUSE.

>> I MADE IT.

AWESOME, AWESOME.

THANK YOU.

LET'S TURN AND BURN.

>> narrator: BACK IN WINNIPEG...

>> RIGHT IN THE HOLE, DARRELL,

RIGHT IN THE HOLE.

>> narrator: DARRELL WARD KEEPS

THE LOADS ROLLING IN FOR POLAR

INDUSTRIES.

>> THIS EXTRA BACKHAUL, YOU

KNOW, IT'S--HELPS POLAR ON THE

LOAD COUNT, YOU KNOW?

WE ARE NUMBER ONE.

AND WE'LL STAY NUMBER ONE.

>> narrator: BUT DOWN THE STREET

AT VP EXPRESS, LOADS AREN'T

GOING ANYWHERE, AND HUGH'S

STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH

HIS RIVALS.

>> THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR, AND

WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE A MARK

HERE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO

DO.

I MEAN, I'D HAD A FEW PROBLEMS

COMING OUT OF THERE, WHATNOT,

BUT THAT'S THE WAY THINGS GO.

>> narrator: AFTER FOUR DAYS ON

THE ROAD, NEW DRIVER TODD

DEWEY'S JUST GETTING BACK FROM

HIS FIRST RUN.

>> YOU KNOW, MY FIRST SITUATION

UP THERE, IT WAS DEFINITELY

A DIFFERENT ROUTINE FOR ME.

ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE TRIP,

YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING,

"[bleep]," YOU KNOW, "IS THIS--

IS THIS THE KIND OF STRESS I'M

GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS

WHOLE FRICKIN' TIME?"

>> narrator: AND HE'S LOOKING

FOR ANSWERS FROM THE BOSS.

>> WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MEETING,

GET ALL THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

WITH THE BREAKDOWNS, BEING

STRANDED, YOU KNOW, JUST--JUST A

REAL BAD LACK OF COMMUNICATION,

AND WE'LL SEE WHAT THE BOSS HAS

TO SAY.

YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO COME AND

KIND OF TALK TO YOU GUYS, YOU

KNOW.

I--I HAD A FEW CONCERNS.

IT WAS JUST THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW,

THE WHOLE COMMUNICATION THING.

>> LIKE, THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH

THIS [bleep] ALL THE TIME.

>> AND I GUESS I'M JUST NOT

USED TO THAT LACK OF, YOU KNOW,

COMMUNICATION.

I KNOW IT'S JUST--AND OBVIOUSLY

I'M LEARNING, IT'S DIFFERENT UP

HERE.

IT'S--IT'S A LOT MORE TOUGHER.

I MEAN, I WAS SO FLUSTERED, AND

I'M THE TYPE OF GUY GETS SO

WORKED UP, YOU KNOW, OVER

[bleep].

>> BUT, REMEMBER, I TOLD YOU

RIGHT AT THE FREAKING BEGINNING,

[bleep] BREAKS, [bleep] COMES

LOOSE, ELECTRICAL [bleep]

[bleep] ALWAYS, RIGHT?

>> YEAH.

>> YOU'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH IT

YOURSELF.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALLS WE

WANT IS SOMEBODY THAT CAN DO

THEIR JOB AND CAN DRIVE THAT

TRUCK AND KEEP THAT TRUCK ON

THE ROAD, AND KEEP IT COMING

HOME.

AND THAT'S ALL WE WANT OVER

HERE.

WE DON'T NEED A WHOLE BUNCH OF

YIPPIN' AND YAPPIN' ABOUT IT.

WE JUST WANT THE GUY TO DRIVE

THE TRUCK AND MAKE US SOME

MONEY, AND THAT'S ALL WE NEED

OVER HERE.

>> narrator: NEXT TIME

ON ICE ROAD TRUCKERS...

[horn honks]

>> MILLION-DOLLAR LOAD

AND A DANGEROUS ROAD.

>> narrator: POLAR INDUSTRIES

UPS THE ANTE.

>> THIS HYDRO PROJECT IS

MULTI-BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

>> narrator: AND VP EXPRESS...

>> YOU GET THEM LOADS IN THERE,

YOU CAN MAKE A FISHPOND FULL OF

MONEY.

>> narrator: THE BOSS DOUBLES

DOWN.

>> I'M JUST GONNA KEEP GOING.

I AIN'T EVEN GONNA STOP.

[laughs]

>> narrator: IT'S A HIGH-STAKES

SHOWDOWN ON THE ICE.

>> TEAM POLAR WAS ALREADY

PARKED HERE.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T GIVE

A [bleep].

>> I'M SHAKIN' PRETTY GOOD,

ACTUALLY.
