[explosion]

Ah!

NARRATOR: Tonight on
"Ice Road Truckers."

[sirens]

[bleep] He's got
the cops behind him.

NARRATOR: Hugh shuts
down the competition.

I have a disgruntled employee
who is a security threat here

at my building.

[explosion]

What the heck?

NARRATOR: And polar season--

Oi!

WOMAN: Oh, my god.

NARRATOR: --goes Up in flames.

MAN: Holy mackerel.

Get out of the truck.

WOMAN: Oh my god.

NARRATOR: And up north--

I am the king of obsolete,
and there will be no other.

NARRATOR: The trucker who dares
to go beyond the winter roads.

MAN: You spread 60 tons of
weight across thin ice--

Ah!

[music playing]

NARRATOR: The war for the winter
roads is almost halfway over.

[honking]

Rodeo!

NARRATOR: BP Express
owners Hugh Rowland.

Hang on.

NARRATOR: And Vlad The
Mad Russian Pleskot

are struggling to keep
up with Polar Industries.

They're losing contracts
to rival Mark Kohaykewych.

Polar Industries?

There's another
couple loads for us?

Shamattawa?

Thank you.

NARRATOR: Driver Art
Burke's future is in doubt.

Half our company's up
there because of Art.

You must be [bleep]
kidding me, man.

Did you pull the pin?

Yes, of course
I pulled the pin.

Yeah, I think we're going
to have to let him go.

I'm not making any money.

I would much rather be home.

Maybe I should
have went to Polar.

NARRATOR: And Hugh and Vlad are
scrambling to get their company

back on track.

VLAD PLESKOT: Yeah, OK.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hey, man.

Hi, dude.

How is it going, man?

Pretty good.

I just got back from that
[inaudible] West deal.

Oh, and?

HUGH ROWLAND: We've got
like 25 loads, 27 loads.

Oh.

I was afraid of that I
just got a few more loads.

Tadoule Lake.

Tadoule?

Yes.

That's all the way up there.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Landing contracts
for more loads is good news,

but only if they
can pull it off.

So-- so we've got a
[inaudible] that's rolling.

Now, you picked up 25
more loads, you said?

How are we going
to do that, man?

I think I'll just stay
on with [inaudible]..

And why don't we send
the new guys, Todd and--

VLAD PLESKOT: Todd and Art?

Todd and Art up to Tadoule.

Oh.

Well, the problem
I have is with Art.

You know?

Well, I said--

I think we got to do what we
had to do for one run, anyway.

Yeah, I guess.

I mean, we're short
of trucks anyway.

He [bleep] up, we'll just
let him go when he get back.

NARRATOR: With their fleet
of drivers stretched thin.

ART BURKE: Good day, good day.
- Here he is.

Hey, Fart.
ART BURKE: How you doing, buddy?

Good, you?

NARRATOR: Hugh and Vlad
will have to keep Art around

for now.

Well, a lot of this
stuff wasn't my fault.

Well, I do that sometimes.

But sometimes, too, I find
when I go to get my point--

And, and, and.

OK, I'm listening.

OK.

They way I operate is, in my--

Right on.

You're bobtailing
up to Tadoule Lake.

And then you're going
to bring the van back.

All right.

Cool.

Cool.

Cool.

Deal.

See if it work out.
Shake on it.

ART BURKE: Right on, buddy.

Shake it right here, buddy.

Just like this.

I'm not your buddy.

I'm not your friend.
- OK.

I'm not a gangster,
anything that.

I'm a businessman.

This is the way you shake hands.
- All right.

Right, cool.

Perfect, thank you.

All right.

I come down here to make some
money, and that's the plan.

I didn't come down here to be
[bleep] Patsy for this [bleep]..

Now, I'm going to go have
a good day for myself.

And [bleep] it all.

[bleep] it all.

NARRATOR: While Art's job at
BP express hangs by a thread--

Hey, guys.

There he is now.

Hey.

NARRATOR: Ice road rookie Todd
Dewey is the company's rising

star.

OK.

OK.

Well, we're really happy with
what you've been doing for us.

Good.

Good deal.

NARRATOR: Todd's charged
with leading a convoy

to recover equipment
from Tadoule

Lake, a remote community
with a road so unforgiving,

it's even shut down the boss.

That's it.

This is going to be a long,
long frickin' experience right

here, bud.

Got copy?

See if you can hear me?

Cool.

NARRATOR: Todd will have to get
Art and freelance driver Derek

Vivier to the most northern
town on the winter roads.

Yeah, this trip is
going to be the first

real big, big, big,
big, big challenge.

This is a huge ice road.

You know, we're talking a
total of about 1,300 miles

just to get there.

Two of the trucks
are bobtailing.

I'm pushing up the rear.

I got-- I got a trailer.

You know, the bosses kind
of sat me down and say hey,

Art don't know how to drive.

He's not doing very well.

We need you to babysit him.

We need you to
take him up there.

We need you to push him.

That way, if he
gets in a situation,

you know, you'll be
there to help him out.

And hopefully
everything goes well.

This is the first convoy I've
been on without Hugh or Vlad.

I like that.

[music playing]

The roads are getting bad.

It's all turned to ice, buddy.

What's going on?

[beeping]

What the [bleep]
is that all about?

Just beep, beep, beep.

Beeps, beeps, beeps.

That's been going on now steady.

So far, so good.

I haven't lost my mind yet.

But it's only early in the day.

NARRATOR: A glitch in
the radio torments Art,

but he can't turn it off,
or he'll lose contact

with the convoy.

But it does kind of
drive you up the wall.

Listen to it.

Like a kid that
won't stop crying.

You just want to choke it, eh?

As long as it's not yours.

[beeping]

I like Art.

I know Art's got a big heart.

You know, and he's
trying real hard up here.

He's putting everything
he's got into it to--

you know, he's trying to
make the bosses happy.

And it's just not working.

But when things
consistently keep happening,

then you stop
looking at the truck,

and you start looking
at the driver.

That's the way it works.

Never a dull moment in here.

And the beeping
stopped, so we're cool.

I'm happy, eh?

[bleep] happens.

[beeping]

Isn't this fun?

NARRATOR: Back at Polar.

Yeah.

No, I'm sorry it
has to be that way.

All right, bye bye.

Hey Ryan, looks
like Yuri is gone.

NARRATOR: Mark gets word that
an employee switched sides.

Going to be heading
over to VP, it looks like.

So, scratch him off the board.

OK.

NARRATOR: Former
driver Yuri Davidoff

quit to work for a
rival VP Express.

It's typical Hugh
business practices.

I mean, he knows I got
the best of the best.

He knows I got the loads.

He knows I've got
everything here.

He's going after my customers,
going after drivers,

going after my loads,
going after my routes.

I mean, Hugh Rowland, think
for yourself for once.

Quit riding my coattails.

Well, that's the
least you know.

Least you know what's
going on over there.

Mark doesn't care about his
drivers, so it's his own fault.

I'm going to bury Mark, and
that's what's going to happen.

I'm going to bury Polar
Industries this year.

NARRATOR: Yuri was slated
to haul a rush load

and now that job is
hours behind schedule.

Mark, you wanted to see me?

MARK KOHAYKEWYCH: Hey, Lisa.

How are you?

Good, how are you?

NARRATOR: So Mark's
counting on Lisa Kelly

to finish the haul
in record time.

You've been doing a hell
of a job, so I want to--

I want to throw another
challenge at you.

We're going to
send you Bloodvein.

Going to need you loaded
and out as fast as possible.

So we need you to hustle.

NARRATOR: She'll have
to reach Bloodvein

before this site closes in order
to make the delivery deadline,

and pick up a time
sensitive back haul.

You up for the challenge?

Yeah, of course.

Hit the road.
Let's get you going, in and out.

OK.
MARK KOHAYKEWYCH: Right on.

Good job, Lisa.
- Yeah, thanks.

Thank you.
See you.

I'm excited to get back on
the road, going to Bloodvein

with building supplies.

NARRATOR: She'll score
two loads for Polar

if she can make it in time.

But down the street--

I'm glad Yuri is
coming over here.

I like him.

NARRATOR: Hugh's got a test of
loyalty for his new recruit.

I told must take
his truck down there,

and park in front
of his driveway,

and see what the hell goes on.

Here comes a truck.

Oh, he's not going
to let me out?

Hey, come look at this.

Is he just going
to stop there?

Trying to figure out what
this blue truck is doing here.

All right.

Heather, grab your
camera please.

Let's go.

NARRATOR: At Polar Industries--

NARRATOR: --former
employee Yuri Davidoff

has gone to work
for a VP Express.

Is he just going
to stop there?

NARRATOR: And Hugh sent
him to shut down the yard.

Trying to figure out what
this blue truck is doing here.

Let's go.

Here comes the circus.

[music playing]

What's up?

5, 4, 3, 2.

[inaudible]

I have a disgruntled employee
who's with a security threat

here at my building.

What's that?

Can you just wait
in your truck, please?

Want me to go in the shop?

Truck or shop?

Inside the shop, yeah.

NARRATOR: With Polar shut down--

[laughter]

--only VP Express is
getting loads on the road.

[honking]

We're going to run
Mark out of business.

I mean, he's going to go down.

He's going to get buried.

That's all there is to it.

[laughs]

NARRATOR: As the battle heats
up in Winnipeg, 800 miles north,

a one of a kind trucker
prepares for a mission

past the end of the road.

I am the King of Obsolete,
and there is only one.

And there will be no other.

NARRATOR: Joey Barnes is
the self-proclaimed King

of Obsolete.

Basically, I live at
the end of the world.

We have to be very resourceful
at the end of the world

because, we can't rely
on everybody else.

I try and make a living
with old style equipment.

NARRATOR: Today, he's been hired
by longtime friend Jerry Umbach

to salvage a generator
from an abandoned campsite.

We've been talking about
getting this generator,

but because of the
inaccessibility of it,

this is about the only
way we can pick it up.

NARRATOR: But to travel
where there are no roads,

the king relies on equipment
from the earliest days of ice

road trucking.

The Cat trains are a very
unique way of transportation.

It was used in the 1940s.

That's our Caterpillar tractor.

But in Canada we called it Cats.

Now, we'll get the
other Cats going here.

Yeah, he's got the big Cat.

I got smaller one.

Jonathan's got the baby Cat.

NARRATOR: Helping the king
manhandle the machinery is

protege Jonathan [inaudible].

OK.

Always leave it in
neutral, flat stick.

Jonathan had two minutes
experience on a Cat.

He drove it around
the yard twice.

So he had to learn.

The reason I came out here
was for the adventure, because I

really wanted the experience.

NARRATOR: And rounding out the
king's crew his daughter Xena.

NARRATOR: With his
team assembled,

the king heads out to face the
ice beyond the end of the road.

Xena was zooming back and
forth on her Ski-Doo like

a mosquito.

She's a communication officer.

We don't run radio systems,
because you can't hear a radio.

It's loud.

Feels good once we get rolling.

NARRATOR: While the king
journeys into no man's land--

TODD DEWEY: We're headed for the
big ice road up Tadoule Lake.

So we've got a big
day ahead of us.

NARRATOR: VP Express
driver Todd Dewey

is in charge of a critical haul.

Along with Art Burke and
freelancer Derrick Vivier.

TODD DEWEY: Art, did the
radio finally quit beeping?

No.

It's right back at it again,
but it's just not quite as bad.

It's right back at it again.

Every trip man,
there's a [bleep] up.

NARRATOR: Art's
feeling the pressure

after being given a last
chance ultimatum by the bosses.

[beeping]

This beep, beep, beep will
drive you right up the wall,

right?

Team VP, boy.

And then they got the audacity
to call me in the office

and tell me that
they're not happy.

Definitely, definitely,
definitely, something

wrong with this picture.

[beeping]

Ah!

This is crazy.

NARRATOR: The convoy is forced
to stop as Todd's truck loses

electrical power.

We're not quite sure
it's the alternators

or the voltage is
going all adrift.

And the lights is going
off and on on the dash.

And all this wonderful
stuff that happens

if you're working for VP.

[laughs]

[engine humming]

This one's definitely
got a good [inaudible]..

That's a positive to
positive, here and here.

This is negative, so we could
run this negative to this.

NARRATOR: Getting
back on the road

means figuring out where
the loose wires go.

This negative
to that negative.

[sparking sound]

This negative.

This positive to this positive.

This one ain't going
to reach because--

[explosion]

[man shouting]

NARRATOR: On the
road to Tadoule Lake.

We could run this negative.

NARRATOR: The VP
Express crew is trying

to troubleshoot Todd's rig.

This negative
to that negative.

[sparking sound]

This negative, this
positive, to this positive.

And this one ain't going
to reach because it's--

[explosion]

[man shouting]

Rinse it off.

NARRATOR: An exploding battery
showered Derrick and Todd

with highly corrosive
battery acid.

I told you it
was a bad battery.

That's what I could smell,
the [bleep] battery.

Need more water?

NARRATOR: If left
untreated, the sulfuric acid

could cause permanent
skin damage and blindness.

[inaudible]

NARRATOR: But the closest
place to get treatment

is Lynn Lake, 80 miles
in the wrong direction.

If we're taking
out one battery,

we're just going to run in
series with three batteries,

and get the [bleep]
thing back started.

And we're just going
to do what we can do.

NARRATOR: A convoy backtracks
down the winter road

with Todd's truck
one battery down.

It ain't no joke.

It ain't a peddly little game.

I mean, its definitely
nuts up here.

And freelance driver Derrick
Vivier's health in jeopardy.

My whole body is
starting to convulse.

I think I got a fair
bit in my throat,

because my throat is
starting to swell up.

It feels bad, but
I'm just trying

to be optimistic at this point.

Literally, the left
side of my head

just feels like it's on fire.

Todd's batteries are
going to die pretty soon.

I don't know what's going
to happen there, man.

Kind of in a rush to get
poor Derek to the hospital,

because the acid, you can't
get it out of his skin,

eh, will burn his
face all to hell.

That stuff is burning
him as we speak.

[beeping]

We're jinxed.

NARRATOR: Back in Winnipeg.

[sirens]

That's a VP truck?

NARRATOR: Hugh sent
his new recruit

to shut down Polar Industries.

HUGH ROWLAND: What's
going on there?

[bleep] He's got
the cops behind him.

We got the truck
out of the way.

The cops came by, escorted
him off the property.

Where are those two cowards?

Sending Yuri over here
to do their dirty work.

You know what, Hugh?

Karma's a bitch.

You got yours
coming to you soon.

You watch.

[honking]

NARRATOR: Polar may
be back in business.

LISA KELLY: Try
not to get into it.

Just do my job.

NARRATOR: But thanks
to Hugh, Lisa Kelly's

running out of time.

The trip can take
up to eight hours,

but she's only got six before
Mark's promise to the village

is broken.

The way I go to Bloodvein, a
little later than I would like

to, but we had a holdup with
whatever drama was going on

today that I don't care about.

We're not here to play.

My job is to drive this
truck and the crate

to the villages in a certain
time period that we have.

NARRATOR: And with the clock
ticking, it might be too late.

Get this Bloodvein run done.

[honking]

NARRATOR: 670 miles north.

Here's the [inaudible]
board for that load.

Good.
Thank you very much.

Sure [inaudible].

Take care.

Polar teammate Alex
Debogorski is also starting

an urgent mission,
hauling the final load

of a $100,000 contract.

My specialty, riding
off into the sunset.

Look.

Oh, is the sun going down?

Oh, it must be time
to go to work for me.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: He's headed to
the town of Shamattawa,

and he's only got until
morning to make the delivery.

Away.

NARRATOR: But after a season of
handling every challenge thrown

at him--

We're off like our
hurdle of turtles.

NARRATOR: --the 40-year veteran
brushes off the pressure.

Look at the howling
wolves over there.

[animal howl imitation]

We used to make the
coyotes talk back to us.

When you had nothing
to do on the farm,

you'd get the coyotes excited.

The coyotes, or
whatever you call them.

Coy-oats?

Coy-utes?

[animal howl imitation]

[sirens]

Oh.

I guess, must've made
somebody unhappy.

Getting pulled
over by the police.

One more circus for
me today, I guess.

I don't know what I did wrong.

Way too much fun this morning.

I really don't have
time for all this.

Good morning, sir.

I didn't hear the sirens, sir.

How far--

No, I didn't.

Yes, sir.

Goodness, grief.

I mean, that's a
really bad ticket.

[honking]

NARRATOR: Now, Alex
is falling behind.

It's already 3 o'clock.

NARRATOR: And time
is running out.

Are we going to be
too late to unload?

Going to look like a royal
ass showing up there late.

So I got some time to make up.

NARRATOR: In the
town of Lynn Lake--

She never ends, buddy.

NARRATOR: --the VP Express
convoy made it to the hospital

after a battery explosion--

[explosion]

[man shouting]

--left two drivers injured,
and one truck in no shape

for the Winter Road.

The acid [inaudible] all
over his face, and his clothes,

and his pants, and
everything else.

And now it's burning him.

He can't get it off.

NARRATOR: At the medical
center, Art waits

for word on Derek's condition.

My plan is I'm going to
wait here at the hospital,

make sure he's OK, and
see what's going on.

And then when this is
all straightened out,

and he's doing good,
then we'll talk to Todd.

TODD DEWEY: The
battery blowing up

in somebody's face like that,
if could have killed us.

Got to be the alternator.

I don't know what
else it could be.

NARRATOR: After getting
checked out at the hospital,

Todd's in the clear,
but he barely made

it did town on three batteries.

And the problem is
worse than he thought.

I've gone through
the batteries.

I've gone through all the
wiring to the alternator.

The batteries are hooked up
and linked the proper way,

and there's no--

obviously the
alternator fried out.

And when the
alternator fried out,

it was shortening out 100%.

Obviously, it got one battery
so freaking hot that it blew up.

[sirens]

It's just a big hole.

Everybody [bleep].

Everybody is not
making any money.

Everybody is pissed off.

Everybody's frustrated.

Just another [bleep]
wonderful day on the ice road.

Hey, you made her, buddy.

How did you make out?

Lots of burn cream.

I've got chemical burn
on a good 25% of my body.

Holy [bleep].

I had to go for
a chemical shower.

[bleep] you're lucky, he says.

Hey, buddy, you were lucky.

Yeah, no doubt.

NARRATOR: While Derek's
recovery is good news,

Todd's truck and the convoy
are down for the count.

ART BURKE: We'll
be trapped, buddy.

Eh?

[music playing]

NARRATOR: 680 miles south--

I'm on the Winter Road,
headed toward Bloodvein

with this load of construction
supplies, building materials.

NARRATOR: --Lisa
Kelly's on a mission

to deliver a load
of scaffolding,

and pick up a time
sensitive backhaul

before the site closes.

Feel like I'm making
pretty good time.

So just trying to get
there and get it done.

We have very limited time.

So it's just kind of the-- it is
actually like a mad rush to get

the stuff where it's got to go.

We're going to stay on it today.

NARRATOR: She's made up time
after being delayed by Hugh.

And if there are no
more delays, she'll

deliver without a
minute to spare.

What the heck?

See a big danger sign.

I don't know what
it says yet, though.

Oh, blasting area.

Oh, crap.

Just pulled up and got
stopped by a flag person.

Not sure what's going on, why
we're stopped or anything.

I'm going to go see
what's going on here.

Hi.
MAN: Hi.

LISA KELLY: Am I going to be
able to get through and get out

of here?

We just did a blast here.

We got rock all over the road.

All right?

OK.

[explosion]

NARRATOR: Maintenance
on the road

can only be done when the
swamp land is frozen solid,

and blasting is the
only way crews can

break through the rocky ice.

[explosion]

Looks like we're not
going anywhere for a while.

They've got to move the rocks
before we can go through.

This is bull.

Here comes the loader.

Maybe they're just polishing
off the rest of the rocks

so we can go through.

Looks like we can go now.

Looks like it's all clear here.

So we can get on through.

Thank you.

MAN: [inaudible]

LISA KELLY: Every
long thing that's

delaying us is setting me back.

Blasting zones, and truck
drivers blocking highways,

and people getting arrested.

They're counting
on me to get there.

They're counting on
me to get this done.

NARRATOR: She made it
through with a blast zone.

But as she closes in
on the offload site--

Well, there's a truck coming.

NARRATOR: --the crew is already
heading home for the day.

I got to jump out real quick.

Oh, awesome.

Cool.

I'm happy he stopped right
there, which is cool,

because if I would've
just kept driving,

I would have never known that.

So now I know what I've got.

NARRATOR: Lisa's just in time
to make the delivery pick up

her back haul.

We've got to get
this out of Bloodvein.

We gotta get to Winnipeg.

We've got to keep it
moving, get it back.

No such thing as an easy day.

[engine humming]

NARRATOR: 700 miles north
in the Canadian wilderness--

NARRATOR: --Joey Barnes,
the King of Obsolete,

is on a quest to salvage a
generator from an abandoned

campsite.

They can't afford to build
all these roads for a transport

truck to haul in.

The Cat train is the way to go.

NARRATOR: In the 1940s, before
the birth of ice road trucking,

Cat trains were used to
haul freight in the north.

I tell everybody I should
have been born in the '40s when

the Cat trains were popular.

In the '40s, it was simpler
times, and people were honest.

You worked hard, you
got your paycheck.

NARRATOR: To reach
the camp, the king

will have to cross
a mile-wide lake.

He has to trust his instincts
to lead the 60-ton Cat train

across the un-monitored ice.

As the Cat train
crosses the lake,

each vehicle adds more
pressure to the ice,

and pushing it too
far can be fatal.

[engine humming]

[crash]

JOEY BARNES: Oh.

NARRATOR: In northern Manitoba,
hours from civilization,

the king is leading his 60-ton
Cat train across untested ice.

He's been hired by
friend Jerry Umbach

to recover a generator
from a campsite

where there are no roads.

[crash]

JOEY BARNES: Oh.

The Cat train is a unique
way of transportating.

These skis are 9 feet long.

You spread 60 tons of
weight across how many feet

when you got thin ice?

That's scary.

NARRATOR: Across
the lake, the king

stops the Cat a train
at the edge of the ice.

You know you were
breaking through the ice

up there, weren't you?
[inaudible]

Oh, I'm not too concerned.

You weren't concerned
because you were ahead.

That's right.
You're the ones--

JERRY UMBACH: It's us
guys coming behind.

Yeah.

And if you seen the
water, that's OK.

Yeah, splashing through water.

That's OK.

It's going home we're
going to have trouble.

NARRATOR: And now all they have
to do is cover the generator.

Yeah, this is the camp here.

We're finally here.

So now, we've got to get Jerry
up to where the generator is.

He's 71, born in 1941.

He'll drive the famous
Black Cat, made in 1941.

So the senior citizen
gets to drive.

I get to hang on.

Well, we arrived
here at the camp.

JERRY UMBACH: She's free.

We're now picking
up the generator.

We said we'd do this
job, and we will.

We got the engine.

It's a pretty cool
little engine.

And now, we've got to try to
bully this thing out of here.

JERRY UMBACH: Whoops.

NARRATOR: They wrestle
a generator free

and secure it to the Cat train.

We're going to
be late for supper

at the rate we're going here.

We've never been late for
supper, have we Jerry?

That's right.

OK.

All right, let's go.

Go back to the kingdom.

I do it for the customers.

You know, for the guys.

And the thing is,
it's the same rate

if I work eight hours a day,
or if I work 14 or 15 hours.

You get one chance to make
money, and you get it done.

NARRATOR: The generator
has been recovered,

and the king and his crew
start the journey back

to that kingdom.

But I chose to live up here.

I chose to move up here.

I chose to stay up here.

I chose to raise my
daughter up here.

That's what I chose.

I'm going to keep doing this
until I'm in the pine box

pushing up daisies.

NARRATOR: 300 miles southeast--

[honking]

I just keep driving
until I've got to stop.

NARRATOR: --Alex
Debogorski is racing

to deliver the final
load in Polar's contract

with the village of Shamattawa.

The road's going
reasonably well.

Do what you got to do.

I got 140 kilometers left.

I think I'm making
pretty good speed.

I feel like I'm going faster
than I was last time in here.

Yeah, I should be in
Shamattawa in the morning.

NARRATOR: Every load must
be delivered by morning

to claim the $100,000
payday, so Alex

is driving through the night.

[beeping]

Well, I don't know why
that check engine light's on.

I'm concerned that
maybe a low on oil.

But I'm scared to shut
the truck down out here,

in case it doesn't start.

If it's just fuel,
it might clear up.

If it's a mechanical
problem, it's going to fail.

Then I guess we're going to
put my winter gear on and wait

for spring.

But the engine is running rough.

It's starting to
run really crappy.

I got a problem.

I was looking back
there, and I just didn't

like the color of the smoke.

It was making really gray, gray
smoke hanging there in the air.

The plan is to stop,
have a look at it.

NARRATOR: Hundreds of
miles from help, Alex

can't leave anything to chance.

Well, I'm going to jump out
there, freeze my rear end,

take a quick look underneath,
see if we got any oil leaks.

Look at the load.

I absolutely can't see nothing.

Looks nice and dry under there.

You smell that?

The hell?

Smell electrical smell again.

It's getting awful
strong in here.

[crackling sound]

Oh [bleep].

Holy mackerel.

Get out of the truck.

[spraying sound]

Oh.

ART BURKE: We're starting to
get into the rough of it now.

NARRATOR: Next time--

Oh!

NARRATOR: --on "Ice
Road Truckers."

Oh you [bleep] licker.

NARRATOR: --VP Express
reaches the breaking point.

I got told by the bosses the
cement trucker is good to go.

You know, I don't get paid to
come up here and be a [bleep]

mechanic and turn wrenches, and
try to get [bleep] fired up.

This is bull [bleep].

NARRATOR: While Team Polar--

Where the hell are we?

NARRATOR: --is heading
in the wrong direction.

Holy [bleep].

Oh!

NARRATOR: And the king of
obsolete breaks through.

JOEY BARNES: Doesn't
look all that friendly.

It doesn't look good.

Whoa!
