Original subtitles

Just hang on for the ride.

This road is the most brutal road that I think

I've ever put a truck through.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I've heard a lot of scary stories about the ice.

My uncle fell through.

Your family never wants to get that call,

but sometimes it happens.

My truck's on fire!

Oh, he's not doing very good here.

OK, well, we made it.

Yes, sir.

Just pull up to the nose of the grader,

and let's get out and have a look at this.

Sounds good.

Holy , that grader is really in there.

narrator: At the far reaches of the frozen frontier--

Yeah, it does look worse in person.

narrator: The Harris convoy is delivering

a massive excavator so the local road crew can

rescue their equipment from nature's frozen grasp.

Well, I guess let's--

we'll dump it right here.

Go that way just a little bit.

Yeah, there you go. Perfect.

We've made a name for ourselves

hauling huge loads.

We do things other people don't want to do, too scared to do.

You have to have your wits about you.

That was awesome.

Can't just throw any idiot into this position.

What are we doing now?

We had a client call us.

He's got two plow trucks that have to come south for repair.

OK.

They need them ASAP.

I guess we're going to head into Fond du Lac.

All right, boys, we're rolling out.

10-4.

narrator: There's no rest for the wicked--

Oh, this is going to be interesting.

narrator: Or the Harris convoy.

I'm just still thinking

about these winter roads that aren't open.

We have not had the financial successes this season

that we normally do.

So we have to take on work in areas

that we don't normally go to.

And we all got payments.

We all got--you know, we've got a business to run.

It's a battle, but we're scraping through it.

narrator: While Shaun and his sons dive

deeper into the bush,

heading to the remote community of Fond du Lac

across Lake Athabasca.

800 miles to the southeast...

New guy Scooter Ewell is a man on a mission.

Where am I going?

I got a little bet going with Lisa.

Who can haul the most miles?

What were you thinking about agreeing

to a bet with Lisa Kelly?

Who said I was thinking?

Oh, let's throw a $100 bet down to see who can run

the most miles this winter road.

Yeah-hah.

- You're going up north. - OK.

Quite up north, lots of hills to climb,

and at the bottom of every single hill,

there's a sharp turn.

This load is quite important.

There's a big push to get the building materials in there.

You're going to be quite heavy.

You're at 43,000 pounds.

Huh.

So you're going to be the heaviest truck that's

gone in there this year,

which will restrict you to night travel only.

So it's going to be challenging for you to see the hills

and gauge how big of a drop it is.

Yeah.

It will be a doozy.

So it's going to be an adventure of a lifetime.

Oh, yeah.

narrator: Scooter's night mission is

a 400-mile gauntlet to the remote community of Keewaywin.

I'll haul some building material in

for their infrastructure.

They're dependent on us.

Gonna be one hell of a load.

We're going to have some fun with this one.

Time to make some tracks.

We can get on the road and get out of here.

Safety memo, what the is this ?

What is this thing?

This is Trucking 101 for Dummies.

Are you worried that other drivers are

clearly better than you are?

Are you driving a big yellow truck?

Then this video is especially for you.

So to turn the truck on, you have to use a key.

This is the key.

This is a steering wheel.

This is how we go around corners.

This is a gear shifter.

It has 18 gears.

I am very well known for pulling pranks,

but Lisa got me first, yeah, with her little safety video.

If you're in a miles race with a veteran driver,

you may as well just give up now.

Oh, it's on.

It is on.

Smart ass.

You just wait, you little .

She thinks she can play this on me.

Oh, I'm so evil at pranking.

I'm coming for you, Lisa.

I'm coming for you.

narrator: Blasting into the frozen wilderness--

Heading down the 100.

narrator: Veteran Lisa Kelly has her own plan

to win the bet.

This is a good road for the miles race

that Scooty Poo has going on.

I need miles.

What do you got that's a long, long, long ways?

I just picked up a load here that's perfect for you.

Lac Brochet is very far north.

It's one of the longest trips we can get.

It's a new potential client.

This single load can open up the door

to a bunch of opportunities for Muskie Creek.

Are there any polar bears there?

If you see one, take a picture and send it to me.

narrator: Lisa's on the longest haul of the season so far,

running 900 miles from Muskie Creek

to the remote community of Lac Brochet.

I have drums of oil.

I feel like they could get punctured easier.

I don't want my load to catch on fire.

It'll definitely combust.

These drums of oil remind me of when

I was driving the barrels of fuel up

and over the Rohtang Pass in India.

It's definitely out of my comfort zone.

How can you get used to driving these roads?

They're so scary. It's insane.

I hope it's not-- one big mistake

with a flammable load like this, it's all over.

Yeah, this is bumpy.

Yeah, we're really bumpy.

It could break.

Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh.

Hopefully I can get the load there.

Argh!

It's going to be the heaviest load

going in on a road that is a goat trail.

narrator: Deep in the frozen frontier--

And with the heavy load,

they want us traveling at night.

narrator: Despite the urgency

of his goat trail night mission--

Temperatures are colder then, firmer on the road.

I'm not going to beat it up as bad.

narrator: Scooter makes time for one important stop.

I know I'm about to go on a land that's not mine.

We're about to go on a trip I've never been on.

So I'm going to offer this tobacco blessing

to the creator, to the land,

and hope for the best.

I'm Mi'kmaq--Mi'kmaw, actually, it's pronounced--

from the East Coast.

Offering tobacco makes me feel good

because I'm giving something back to the creator.

It grounds me. It centers me.

It gives me a sense of hope.

That's what I need out there sometimes.

Hopefully, they look out for me out there.

This is going to be one hell of a ride.

The other thing is try not to die too.

narrator: Almost a day into Lisa's longest of long hauls--

Oh, gosh. Ow.

Ow. Ow.

narrator: The driver and truck are feeling the pain.

I did not even see that.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

There's a big billow of smoke coming out.

Oh, crap, and there's a hill right here.

No, I can't safely stop here.

This is a pretty narrow road.

I really can't stop here.

Brakes overheated.

I gotta get pulled over.

Oh, good gosh.

Yeah.

Oh, it's not my favorite spot,

but I need to get stopped and see what's going on.

Holy cow.

.

narrator: On a ribbon of ice cutting

through the wilderness--

Brakes overheated.

narrator: Lisa's brakes are on fire.

The truck's on fire!

Holy cow, I'm going to throw snow on it.

Holy crap, that's hot.

I'm trying to get the brakes to cool down.

And stinky.

It's just not doing very good here.

Nobody likes the smell of brakes.

Whew.

There, it's cooling down a little bit.

Probably good to get that one out

before it burst out in flames

and burn the whole trailer down.

Yeah, it just must have hung up or something.

My guess is that that brake's adjusted too tight,

and I just got to back it off some.

I gotta grab a warmer jacket and some tools

so I can back that off of there, but--

oh, yeah, of course, we have dangerous goods.

Don't get too hot near an open source of fire.

Yeah all right, let me see where

the slack adjuster is here.

narrator: Lisa's trailer brakes were knocked out of alignment.

Oh, gosh.

narrator: Now the brake shoes are dragging on the drums,

causing them to overheat and catch fire.

I'm going to back that off.

It doesn't need to come back far.

Come on.

narrator: By tweaking the slack adjuster,

Lisa's increasing the gap between the shoes and the drum.

I need some leverage here.

There we go.

OK, that should be enough.

I fixed the problem.

All right, looks good.

Skeedaddle.

I got places to be.

narrator: 200 miles to the west--

Hey, Riley, you can pull onto the ice.

narrator: The 13-mile expanse of Lake Athabasca stands

between the Harris convoy and their urgent pickup

in Fond du Lac.

Zach, you just kind of stay

on the approach off to the side.

We don't want both trucks on the ice right here.

10-4.

We are pulling onto Lake Athabasca.

They got the three of us going across here.

It's something that we've never, ever done before.

Ice road trucking, it's a dangerous job.

I've had several close calls.

Riley and Zach are both new to these roads.

So, yeah, you're always going to worry about your kids.

So when we get out there,

stay 1.2 kilometers apart, 15 kilometers an hour.

If you meet another loaded truck, go down to 8 kilometers

and pull out as wide as you can.

All right, let's give her.

My dad is willing to put himself

in pretty risky situations to get a job done.

It's a little bit scary.

I'm making my way out onto the ice here.

But I want to prove to him that I can do it.

narrator: Riley and Zach are waiting

to take over the family business.

I think I proved a long time ago

that I could run the trucking side of the business.

Zach looks after everything on the farming side.

He doesn't love driving trucks

the way that my dad and I love doing it.

narrator: But before that happens,

they need to conquer the ice roads.

And this is their biggest test yet.

We are on the ice.

narrator: On the ice, overconfidence can be deadly.

If they drive too fast,

the trucks will create a pressure wave

that breaks through the ice from the bottom.

If they drive too close, the combined weight could

break through the ice from the top.

Either way, it could be their first and last ice crossing.

Am I nervous?

Of course, I think you always have that little bit

of "what if" in the back of your head.

I always worry a little bit.

I've heard a lot of scary stories about the ice.

My uncle fell through

halfway between Fond du Lac and Uranium City.

Oh, it was devastating.

I mean, you know, you work in these dangerous places,

and your family never wants to get that call,

but sometimes it happens.

I don't want to leave my family without me.

I'd like to know how deep it is right now,

but I also don't want to know.

narrator: If a truck goes through the ice,

it'll sink a while before it hits the bottom.

The convoy is crossing one of North America's deepest lakes.

Are you hearing any cracking or popping?

Actually, no.

It's pretty quiet.

When the ice is loud and cracking like it's strong,

that's good ice.

It's when you don't hear any noises,

that's usually when you kind of start peeking around,

like, oh, what's going on?

Why is there no weird noises?

You think you've been in some wild places

till you're up here.

This is the real deal.

Just going across the last about 100 yards of ice here,

and we're going to be rolling into the community

of Fond du Lac.

Atta boy, first trip across the ice.

That's awesome.

So how was that?

Well, we didn't fall through.

Yeah, that's always a bonus.

I imagine your brother's pretty happy to see the shore.

He was nervous.

Way to go, my boy.

I'm proud of you.

You did awesome today.

You didn't die.

You killed it, man.

You killed it. You survived.

Ha-ha.

First crossing.

With my first trip under my belt,

it was a huge confidence boost.

Oh, atta boy.

I've always wanted the boys to get the exposure on the ice,

because that is a big part of our business.

I've never been prouder.

I couldn't be happier.

Let's make some tracks.

Hey.

Hey, Bill. Good to see you.

Good to see you again.

I'm going to send you up to Kasabonika.

The load going up there is some building materials

for a job site. - OK.

I got to get this material up there very quickly

because there's a screener in Kasabonika

that I need to get brought back.

Critical that you get back here in a timely fashion.

You will be heavy on your way out,

big piece of machinery.

But you're going to be traveling

the Asheweig Road-- lots of hills, turns,

bumpiness, one of the most notorious roads.

I've been on it before. I'm ready.

Asheweig Road will tear the absolute crap

out of your body and your truck.

It's a nasty road.

narrator: Todd's battle with the notorious Asheweig Road

extends 550 miles

to the northern outpost of Kasabonika.

So it looks like the community

is definitely putting-- giving us a note up here.

They don't want any chains on the road.

That means they don't want their ice road tore up.

They don't want their ice crossings tore up.

So we're going to follow the rules, no chains.

This road is my nemesis in a way.

About seven years ago, in my last season up here,

I was delivering a load in on this road.

The road was the most brutal road that I think

I'd ever put a truck through.

Hold on!

Oh!

I hit a rock, and it's busted a hole clean in my radiator.

I can honestly say, for the first time,

I've actually been defeated on a ice road.

I wasn't able to get the truck out.

It didn't make it.

So you know, this is kind of like a redemption run, I guess.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoo.

Trailer took off on me right there.

Oh, that was a little bad.

Yeah, I was losing control on that one.

Son of a bitch, it's going to be a nasty road.

It's going to be a long night,

just a reminder of how brutal this road could be

at all times.

Hang on.

Whoo-hoo.

Gonna get a little bit bumpy. Hang on.

I want to even the score this time on this one.

I want to get in there and get out of there with my truck

this time, not without my truck.

This is a bad, bad, rough shape.

My goodness sakes, you joking me?

The road is breaking through all over the freaking place.

Hold on, big bump, big bump.

Hang on, hang on.

narrator: Deep in the frozen darkness--

Hang on.

narrator: Todd's getting a violent reintroduction

to his old nemesis, Asheweig Road.

The Asheweig Road is definitely a challenge.

I went in with a truck before and came out with no truck.

That road is my nemesis road.

I will fight and battle until the bitter end.

You're driving on 3, 4 feet of snow

that's been packed down, and when that all freezes up tight

and it starts to break apart,

then you fall through those broken spots.

And they are like massive, deep chuckholes.

Once they suck your truck in,

if you ain't got enough speed to bring your front end

up out of it, you're stuck.

It looks pretty flat out there.

That has got to be an ice crossing.

I'm not sure about this ice, and I am by myself.

Well, I don't want to take a chance.

So I'm going to go check it out and see what I can see.

narrator: The ice could either be

a welcomed ceasefire between Todd and Asheweig Road--

Whoo, it's chilly out.

narrator: Or an icy ambush.

Solid ice, about 2 inches of snow on the top.

It's definitely a ice crossing.

We're definitely on water.

There's no turning back now.

All right, here we go.

Night crossings are spooky.

You can't see the ice.

Daytime, you can see it a lot better.

All I got is what I can see with my headlights,

and that's it.

It is cold.

My face is freezing, but I ain't going to take a chance.

I don't care.

I want to hear what the ice is doing.

Can you hear that popping?

A lot more spooky out here by yourself

in the middle of the night and nobody else around.

Makes a guy nervous.

Because if something happens, you are completely on your own.

About 7 miles an hour, 15 kilometers an hour,

and I can't see the end of the ice yet.

This is a way bigger crossing than I expected.

This looks like it might be the other side right here.

It always feels good to roll on land off the ice.

It gets that-- all of a sudden,

you get that big relief of, whew,

one more ice crossing down, baby.

Another one for the books.

narrator: Also burning the midnight oil,

Scooter Ewell is pushing into the frigid darkness

on a road he's never seen.

Where are you headed?

I'm heading to Keewaywin.

Enjoy the good road while it lasts.

This is not a very nice road already.

Holy , I definitely don't want to up here.

Stop this guy!

Something happened.

They got trucks broke down.

Holy , we just hit that only doing

5 kilometers an hour.

Driving at night, it's dangerous,

especially if you've never been there before.

You have dips with rocks that are in the snow

that you can't see, unexpected hazards.

Definitely extreme trucking here.

Oh, man, holy .

There's a doozy of a bank.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Come on.

Up and over we go.

Holy today.

Holy .

Whew.

I feel like a martini-- shaken, not stirred.

Oh, .

We're getting in the worst sections here.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, we're losing her.

We're losing her. We're losing her.

.

me.

It's terrible, just terrible.

Freaking terrible.

narrator: Under the same moonless night--

Whoa.

Holy moly.

narrator: Lisa's running low on visibility.

I can't see out the mirrors.

All right, I'm going to stop right here.

All right.

I need to see out of my window.

It's always freaking something, isn't it?

Yep.

My window just fell down in the door.

It's such a dingy window.

Now it's just stuck.

Are you serious?

It's already freaking cold in here.

I am not driving with the window down.

narrator: Unwilling to continue while exposed

to the frigid night air,

Lisa's chances of making her offload tonight are

falling faster than the nighttime temperature.

As an ice road trucker,

you got to be ready for anything at any time

to get the job done.

I just have to get back on the road.

I want to take the door panel off.

You have to be able to make the best of situations.

I got this tool and this tool and this problem.

How am I going to fix it with these?

Note to self, don't roll the window down anymore.

I mean, aren't doors overrated?

Oh, mother.

It's not working.

narrator: Back on the northern goat trail--

Come on, baby.

narrator: Scooter's also trying to get back on the road.

Come on.

When I'm going into a situation where I've never driven before,

I don't know what's going to happen.

So I have to be ready to think on the fly.

Ahh!

This is going to be a nightmare.

Ice roads will always throw something at you.

There's always a curveball coming.

Oh, come on.

I can't move forward.

I'm going to try to move backward.

Let's see if we can make it work here.

Come on.

Yeah!

threw me right into the bank.

That one made my heart stop for a sec.

Last thing we need at midnight at night here,

to be stuck in the middle of nowhere

with no one around to help.

If this is just the start of my journey,

I can only imagine what's coming next.

Ha-ha.

Good to talk with fellow drivers.

That inbound truck, this is quite the freaking road here.

It's only begun.

On this hill, you will slide all the way back down

if you don't make it.

It's doable, but you gotta hit it like a mad man.

10-4, that's good to know.

It's terrible situation to get up a hill.

These roads are narrow, dangerous, slippery.

It's on a 90-degree corners with bumps.

Oh, .

Hang on to your butt.

This is where everybody else was sliding down backwards.

Oh, see if we can get a good run on.

Come on, Big Bird, come on.

No, no, no, no, come on.

Oh, we're losing her.

We're losing her. We're losing her.

Ah, .

Oh, .

Oh, come on, baby, don't you do this to me.

Oh, sliding, sliding.

. You sliding me back down?

.

Here we go. I'm done.

Here we go.

I'm toast.

I'm going to be such a frozen Popsicle.

narrator: Alone and stopped in the depths

of the frozen darkness--

This is going to be a nightmare.

I hate chains.

narrator: Neither Scooter--

I am not driving with a window down.

narrator: Nor Lisa--

The window, like, just broke.

Yeah, it's just not going to move.

narrator: Are logging miles toward their bet.

I got a proposition, to see who can run the most

miles this winter road.

I think you're going to lose.

Yeah, ha.

narrator: Both drivers need to fix their rigs to get rolling.

When it goes up-ish--

you see here how this works?

narrator: Lisa's improvised surgery on her door

reveals the window control hardware is broken.

I think I could jam something down under the window

to hold it up.

I'm thinking sticks.

So I'm going to get a stick,

and I'm going to go hunt a moose, cook it on my turbo,

and survive right here.

When the job gets really difficult,

I really don't have time to think about anything else.

I am focused on right now, I need to survive this minute.

I need a nice thick stick.

What if Bigfoot's out there?

I'd like to say I've proven myself over the years.

Because it used to be like, what's it like to be

a woman in a man's world?

Holy moly.

Now I'm like, I don't care what they think,

because I've been up here longer than most of them.

Ah!

I might have some troubles, but I'll get it figured out,

and I'll get it done.

Can't touch the bottom, and I'm sitting on my crotch right now.

I've never used the Leatherman saw before,

but I guess there's a first time for everything.

I got this nice guy in a four-wheeler

stopping here to help me out.

Hey, I see your four way's on.

- Yeah. - Need some help?

I do.

My window won't go up.

And I was going to try to put these under it,

but I'm not strong enough to lift the window

and put the sticks in there at the same time.

OK, well, why don't I give you a hand.

- Yeah. - Put this up here for you.

I can't even lift it.

Yeah, you're way stronger than me.

OK.

OK, try that, close to the center.

Yay.

I really appreciate your help. - Have a safe trip.

Thank you.

Have a good one.

Our rule up on the road is you stop

and help anybody who's pulled over and got the hood open.

I'll give this a shot.

This is how we do it up here.

It's up.

It's never coming down again.

Now it's nice and toasty in here for a change.

♪ I hate chains

♪ I hate chains

narrator: Scooter's only chance to free his truck

from the clutches of the northern wilderness

is to chain up so he can chew through the ice.

No driver wants to chain up.

You're working out in these cold temperatures,

trying to struggle with chains,

it does take a toll on your body.

Oh, no.

Oh, these don't even look like the right chains.

. Right off.

.

They have the wrong chains in this truck.

We're in a predicament.

When I looked at the chains, they said,

nope, there's 24s in there.

But these tire chains are obviously for 22s.

A, it's my fault that before I left that yard,

I should have tried them and made sure.

Yes.

But B, if a truck comes fully equipped,

it should be fully equipped.

So now I'm going to have to be creative.

Sometimes you've just got to dig around

and look for something.

And the only thing I find is bungee cord laying in the bunk.

I gotta do the one thing I don't want to do.

Right now, I'm going to throw some bungee cords on it,

tighten it up a little bit.

I got a redneck .

How long is it going to last?

I don't know.

I've been able to adapt in a lot of situations

in all my life.

It's the only way you can survive in this world.

Oh, yeah.

Some unfortunate circumstances happened in my life.

I had nothing left, and it changed me.

I love my job.

It gave me a sense of clarity

of where I want to be in my life and who I want to be.

I will never quit.

I will just keep pushing.

Because nothing in this life is easy.

Let's kick this road's ass before it kicks mine.

I am not going to sit back and cry about it.

I'm going to do something about it

and keep struggling to go forward.

Help me out here.

Hang on for the ride.

Come on, baby, come on.

Come on, baby, come on.

Eat!

Come on!

Yeah!

I can't believe it worked.

I really can't believe it worked.

narrator: At the edge of the map,

on the frigid northern shore of Lake Athabasca--

Keep coming.

OK, now straighten out now.

There you go. Keep going.

Right there. Perfect.

Now we're cooking with gas.

narrator: The Harris family is loading two plow trucks that

are headed south for repairs.

That looks good.

It's on there and ready to go.

15 minutes ahead of schedule, that's always a good thing.

Hey, Dad?

Huh?

This tire is way low.

Every possible situation you can think of for a breakdown,

I've encountered it.

So we have a flat tire here.

And if I had a dollar for every time I've done this,

I'd be very rich.

There's nobody coming with a service truck to save you.

You're on your own most of the time.

narrator: The deflated tire needs to be popped

back onto the rim so it can be reinflated.

We're going to use just a manual air hose

to fill it up.

And then we're going to fill it full

with brake line antifreeze, light it on fire,

explode it, and put air in it.

narrator: Filling the rim of the tire

with the flammable fluid and lighting it

creates an explosion,

which can pop the tire back into place

so it can be filled.

We're probably going to get one shot at this, so--

Just like that.

And I'm just going to fill her up

till it almost blows again.

And that's how you fix a tire in the bush, boys.

My dad is just about great at everything.

He can fix. He can manage.

He can lead. He's superhuman.

It's crazy.

And as a bonus, you get to warm up while you're doing it.

That puts a fair bit of pressure on me,

because I don't always know if I quite

measure up to his skills.

Things are just going to come along,

and I'm going to learn how to deal with it as we go.

We're going to go on to Lake Athabasca.

Head for the ice now.

Yeah, we're heading for the ice.

We're just going to turn and burn.

We don't have time to piss around.

OK, take two.

We're southbound and down.

narrator: As the Harris convoy heads back across the lake...

800 miles to the southeast--

This is looking familiar.

All right, we're here.

That's it.

narrator: The bell has rung on Todd's second round

against Asheweig Road.

I finally conquered my nemesis road.

The weather has definitely changed.

We've got snow flying.

You never know when a storm's going to roll in.

Hopefully, I can just get the load in as fast as I can,

turn and burn out of there, because you don't know

what Mother Nature is going to blow in.

Should slide pretty easy, I think.

I hope.

Oh, yeah.

Hit the pivot point.

He'll be able to set it down on the ground.

Now, for the front, get the front lifted up.

There it is. - OK. You're good.

All right.

There he goes.

Load delivered.

Whoo!

narrator: Now Todd needs to turn and burn.

It looks like it's a pretty heavy machine.

If it fits on the trailer, it doesn't matter anything else.

She's movable.

narrator: He's hauling back a massive and heavy

piece of machinery called a rock screener.

If it fits, it ships.

Yep, fits, it's ships, absolutely.

They've built a really nice snow ramp over there

to load this machine.

All right, do you want to back down?

You want to just turn it around?

The motor's on the ass end of it

with the big hopper on the back.

Just turning it around, it's going

to create a little bit more weight onto the drivers

on my truck, and that's going to give me a little bit more

traction on the ice roads.

narrator: It's round three with Asheweig Road,

and the score is 1 to 1.

The final run determines the winner

between the ice road trucker

and the baddest road in the northern wilderness.

One of the worst roads

up in the Great White North I've ever been on.

Perfect!

So I want this thing as sturdy and bolted down,

as hard and as strong as I could possibly get,

'cause Asheweig Road is-- it's a nasty road.

So right now, the score is even on this road--

1 for the road and 1 for me.

Oh, .

She's going to be a rough one.

narrator: On the northern edge of the world--

Just arriving at Lac Brochet.

narrator: Lisa's delivering her explosive cargo

to Muskie Creek's crucial new client.

Lac Brochet, it's a new potential client.

This single load can open up the door

to a bunch of opportunities for Muskie Creek.

And I really want to capitalize on it.

OK.

Whoo-hoo.

Gotta run for this little hill here.

I'm here!

I can offload and reload and leave.

Whoo-hoo!

All my oil is tight still.

None of them fell off.

My waste, flammable, liquid products survived.

Good deal.

I'm a happy camper.

Rowdy, you turned over to 800,000 kilometers

on this trip.

Happy birthday to Rowdy.

I think I thought of a good name for the truck.

I've just been just pounding it and jumping and bumping.

And I kind of really like the name Rowdy.

So I think I'm going to name the truck Rowdy.

The way she acts is about the equivalent of, like,

a 75-year-old woman.

This poor truck is falling apart.

It needs a new everything.

I don't think I have heat.

Now it's just stuck.

Are you serious?

I'm trying to get the brakes to cool down.

Oh, I lost a body part.

Oh, my hip.

This was a really good run for the miles race,

because this is one of the longest roads.

I accomplished my goal.

I should be able to have dessert tonight.

Cool.

Get this unstrapped.

I hope Scooty Puff is successful,

but I hope he's slower and gets shorter runs.

narrator: At the end of a slower run on a shorter road--

Well, I finally arrived.

narrator: Scooter also stacked up miles.

I feel beat up, chewed up, and spit out.

narrator: And they were hard earned.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Ah.

Oh, sliding, sliding.

I'm done.

Oh, come on, baby.

We're heading to go get offloaded.

Keewaywin Road has been the most challenging,

pain-in-the-arse road I've ever been on.

Mentally, physically, and emotionally drained,

I got the building material here that the community needs.

It stayed on, and it's been hanging on like--

hey, it's been hanging on.

There's no words to describe.

That shows you right there

the infrastructure problems they have.

There's a home that's burnt.

They need to replace that home.

People don't realize that all these communities

depend on these supplies to survive to the next year.

I got your material.

The fun part is going to be that cement.

Oh.

Yeah, we'll figure out a plan.

All the material got here safe,

despite the amount of struggles

we went through getting it here.

And it's really important that they get it

so they can start building.

I noticed there's a house burnt in the community there.

Yeah, this load will help us out there, the community.

Well, that will at least make some people

happy to have a nice--

get a new home, warmed in.

Yeah.

This job is physically hard.

It's mentally hard, also.

So when you have successfully delivered something

to a community, it's a sense of accomplishment.

You know you've made somebody's day

or their month or their year.

Well, I appreciate your help, man.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, I hope to see you again.

You'll be towing me out of the snowbank eventually.

Have a good day.

You too.

Off to the next adventure.

To win this bet with Lisa, I'm going to have

to drive hard, a lot of hours.

I gotta conquer this road.

I don't like to lose.

Ah, the chain broke.

Brakes froze, 'cause it's so stinking cold out here.

.

That was close.

Oh, no.

Ah!

Come on!

We lost our radio.

It's not working. It's dead.

I got a load on that is right at the limit.

Come on, baby.

Hang in there.
