Original subtitles

I came up with an idea. We're going to try it.

Whether it works, I don't know.

Oh, man.

That falls off, we're gonna be crushed.

Whoa!

Maybe you might have a better idea where these boxes are.

How the are you supposed

to dig through this and find stuff?

We need to get this loaded.

There's a monster frickin' hill

that drops down on the lake.

Hit the hill with everything she's got,

see if we can make her.

Come on. Keep digging.

Come on! Come on!

Asheweig Road?

It's a bad road to be on.

Whoa!

.

This road is tore up bad.

Absolute dog water.

This busted a hole clean in my radiator.

This road is kicking my ass right now.

Oh, .

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

narrator: In the unforgiving northern wilderness...

This is bad.

It snapped the chains right off the back, too.

Shack's off.

narrator: The notorious Asheweig Road

just tossed Lisa's load into a creek...

And she's down in the water.

narrator: When an ice bridge collapsed beneath her wheels.

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

Oh, this is not good at all.

narrator: Now, her camp shack is hanging off the chains,

threatening to roll over her truck.

Look at your tractor.

You're just lucky you didn't flip the whole tractor over.

How are we gonna do with this?

There was a sharp corner.

And Todd goes, you're gonna want to swing wide for that.

I started swinging super wide out and around.

Then it started going in and then it just kind of caught

and slid down and pulled me all over.

I could have been slammed into the creek face-first.

I do a risky job.

And once in a while, you get a reminder

that, yeah, it's really risky.

People die doing this.

They gotta find someone to bring something out to us.

That's gonna take time.

It's like it's not an easy fix.

We're gonna have to call for rescue.

Only call me if there's a problem.

Mr. Bill.

Hey, Scooter. What's up?

We have a problem.

OK.

Lisa, she's over the side of the ice bridge

and the passenger side duals of her tractor are in the air.

.

We need a rescue. We need heavy gear.

Um, OK.

- Sorry. - No, it's fine.

I'll look after it.

All right. Thank you.

Yep.

.

20 bucks says he just beat his head off the desk.

They've pretty much shut down the Asheweig Road.

And it's not just the shack that I'm risking losing.

I could potentially be losing my clients.

It's not a good scene and it's--

it's not a good look for Muskie Creek as a whole.

Oh, for sakes.

Hey, it's Bill.

Yeah. I--.

I wish I could be doing better.

I'm in a little bit of a pickle here,

and I want to see if you can give me a hand.

I've got a shack that's partially in the ditch,

a trailer that's partially in the ditch as well.

And, um, I need some equipment

to come out there and give 'em a hand.

OK, give me a second.

So I'm going to give you my winch truck driver's number.

And, uh, thank you.

Let me know how this, uh, turns out, eh?

They're gonna be there for at least four to six hours

before an excavator or loader gets there to give 'em a hand.

narrator: 500 miles to the west...

My handsome boy.

Eh?

Here, buddy. Here.

Here we go. Hey, look here.

Look what Dad's got.

narrator: Shaun Harris is hauling

an oversized culvert back to his shop

with his most trusted co-pilot, Crispy.

I love driving with Crispy.

He's my third son. He absolutely is.

It's cold out today, and he doesn't like the cold.

Come on, there you go.

Let's go.

You're too heavy for this.

Yeah!

OK, jump up.

Just like the old days.

He's about 12 now, so 12 years.

He's always rolled with us.

Over my 32 years on the ice roads,

my clients would say I'm a good trucker

and a reliable business

just because we get the job done.

But Mother Nature is causing havoc for our business.

We are absolutely hemorrhaging money right now.

Wollaston is absolutely closed right now.

And I'm getting extremely nervous.

You know, we've done this for decades.

This has been one of the bleakest

winters I've had in recent memory.

The pressure is on, and I'm--

I'm stressed right to the balls.

narrator: Shaun is gambling on a new strategy

to save the company.

You guys are going to Uranium City.

narrator: He's attempting to salvage the season

by pivoting the business from Wollaston Lake

to Lake Athabasca.

If we want to stay competitive and keep

growing this business, we have to look elsewhere.

And that's something that this winter has forced us to do.

That culvert's a 911.

It's got to go because they're worried

the road's going to close soon due to weather.

We are going to have you run the pilot truck.

Sounds good.

Awesome.

I'm going to go to Points North tonight

and load a load of core boxes.

narrator: Shaun's running ahead

to pick up core sample boxes

in Points North

while Riley and Zach

follow behind with the massive culvert.

Then, they're linking upside Fond du Lac

to roll in as a convoy into Uranium City.

All right, well, let's boogie.

Get 'er.

Let's get the hell out of here.

narrator: Back on Asheweig Road...

Thank you guys so much for coming all the way out here.

Don't thank us yet.

narrator: Bill's calls paid off

and help has arrived from the Kingfisher community.

He already renamed this bridge Lisa's Bridge.

Everybody here has a name on the road.

Everybody.

So I'm graduated into the club now?

What good's it gonna do to just beat myself up over it?

I already feel bad. I can't change it.

I can't go back in time.

Just fix the mistakes and carry on.

narrator: But now, the convoy needs a plan.

Up to the low side, should bring a counterbalance.

OK.

narrator: And Scooter's got one.

In theory.

This is all theory.

I didn't pass much schooling.

I came up with an idea.

We're gonna try it.

So right now,

we're going to anchor this winch truck to my truck.

Winch that top corner of that camp shack.

That's gonna take the pressure.

Maybe put a little bit more.

Pull that shack back a bit.

They'll pull the truck out and let that shack drop there.

Perfect.

That's the theory in place.

Whether it works, I don't know.

Depending on what scenario you're in,

you will have to do the most extreme, most unorthodox things

in order to make it work.

We're going to pull the camp back

and you forward at the same time.

narrator: Scooter's plan is to pull the shack backward

off of Lisa's trailer

while pulling Lisa's truck forward out of the creek

and onto the road.

OK, I gotta try and unbind it.

narrator: But first, they need to release

the two chains holding the 2-ton shack to the trailer.

There she goes.

OK. We're still tight, though.

Well, this is where we're gonna need a grinder.

One chain down, one to go.

The best point will be right here to cut it.

And that should bend it back

and safely not hit anybody in the face.

All right, the pressure's on it.

Oh, man.

If that falls off, we're gonna be crushed.

Ah!

narrator: On the truck-eating Asheweig Road...

I don't want to cut underneath

'cause it's just gonna take my hand.

narrator: Scooter Yuill's cutting the final chain

securing the camp shack to Lisa's trailer.

His plan is risky.

When cut free, the shack will either stay in place

or roll into the creek.

Ah!

Whoo!

Gotta check my drawers.

OK. Made my heart jump.

I cut the chain off.

When she popped, the trailer dropped.

That's when I was like, whoo!

narrator: With the shack free,

part two of Scooter's plan is to pull the shack

backwards off the trailer

while pulling Lisa's truck forward and back on the road.

All right. Do you want me in driving?

- Yep. - OK.

OK.

Let's get everybody in position.

Come on, guys, tighten up.

Just tighten up. Stay behind me.

You hear a bang, you hit the deck.

OK, they're set here.

We need you guys to rock and roll here.

We got one shot.

We don't get a second chance.

If this doesn't go perfect,

Lisa can land upside down in the water.

OK, Lisa?

Yes, sir.

Hold tight. We're going.

Keep going, keep going!

- You can go. - Go, go.

- They can go. - Go, go, go.

Keep pulling, keep pulling.

Keep pulling.

OK, Brad, lift!

Go, go, go, go.

Yeah, you're making some progress.

Go, guys.

Keep going.

Man, we're so close.

You guys are getting there, you guys are getting there.

You're doing good.

- Good. Keep going, keep going. - Go, go, go, go, go, go.

- More tension! More tension! - Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What happened there?

Probably a wheel. Im caught on something now.

Trailer, hang on.

Wait, wait, wait. - Whoa, whoa.

They're hooked in that dog leg there.

We're hooked in here on that side.

Just hold on a second.

We have to use the loader to drag it on.

You guys ready?

Lift!

Ooh.

Did it clear it?

No.

That's gonna slide over.

We gotta get it off the corner.

narrator: The corner of the shack

is caught up on Lisa's trailer,

and the only way to free it

may be the most reliable of all driver techniques.

When in doubt, throttle out.

Like, fast or slow?

You know the answer, Lisa.

Just give her .

Three, two, one.

Hit it!

- Oh, . - Go, go, go!

Don't stop! Don't stop!

You're out, baby! You're out!

Whoo!

OK, well, it's off.

Damn.

Good job, guys.

She's out. No damage.

So far.

I look in my mirror, and all I saw was just sparks

down the whole length of the trailer.

That was awesome.

Thank you so much.

Now the fun part.

We still have to get the shack out of there,

the shack reloaded.

narrator: The first step of reloading

the two-ton camp shack is moving it back onto the road.

What we're gonna do is we're gonna hook that loader

to the front and hook the winch truck to the back,

get the loaders to lift, just winch it up.

Works for me.

OK, we're gonna start winching.

Lift!

Go, man!

Oh, yeah.

Come on, baby, come on. - There we go.

There we go. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, baby.

Keep going back. Keep going.

Oh, beautiful. Beautiful.

Oh, ho-ho, that was sexy.

Like, that was smooth.

narrator: With Lisa's shack safely on the road...

One more step.

We gotta get it back on the back of that.

narrator: The final step

is getting it back onto the trailer.

Hey, Lisa.

Can I get you to back your trailer up,

line yourself up with the camp shack?

OK.

Drop her trailer.

And hook the other winch truck to the trailer.

Winch that camp shack back on.

Oh, baby, come on.

Keep going.

Yeah.

Do you think I get points with Bill

for not damaging anything?

Probably.

Awesome.

- All right. - Good.

Happy?

I am.

Thank you.

You're good at that.

How does the A-Team say it?

I love it when a plan comes together.

When you got a good team,

you work together to make it happen.

And all our ideas, together, worked.

Yeah, that was good thinking.

Like I said, it was only a theory in the head.

And for once, something in my head worked.

In some situations, once I think about it,

come up with little ideas,

and that's how it all gets going.

OK, drive safe.

Any more problems, don't call us.

narrator: With the camp shack successfully reloaded,

the team still has to survive another 400 miles

back to Muskie Creek.

As the sun rises over the frozen battlefield...

I've been driving all night.

This is it. This is the final push.

This is what I've been looking for.

narrator: Todd's racing across one last lake

so he can offload...

I've just got to get across this last crossing

so I can turn and burn.

narrator: And get back to Muskie Creek

for the last run of the season.

This is a huge ice crossing.

Ah, this is going to feel damn good

to get this load off of my back

and hopefully get out of here without the same issues

I had getting in here.

That's it. That's land right there.

Sweet.

Oh, looking good.

Welcome to Deer Lake.

Yeah, welcome to Deer Lake.

I'm kind of in a rush to get back onto the ice road, so...

Yeah.

Do you mind if I jump in there

and go ahead and do an unload?

- OK, go ahead. - I'd like to give her a shot.

Thanks.

- Oh, yeah, so-- - OK.

You can try.

- Stack all of them back there? - Yes.

Nice. OK.

It's what it takes to be an ice road trucker.

It just isn't starting the key and sliding it into gear

and driving down the road.

That's not the way it works.

You need to have special skills in all areas.

So I'm an operator, so I know how to maneuver

any machine that I need to move or load.

Jump in an excavator, the bucket loader,

it just gets the job done quicker.

Now there's only one thing left to do.

Get these wheels turning and get out of Deer Lake

and get back to Muskie Creek.

Because I got another load to do.

narrator: Without a back haul for the return trip...

Todd's trying to make it to Muskie Creek

in time for his final run of the season.

I got a long way to go to get back.

And I need to haul some ass.

narrator: While Todd's racing south...

600 miles northwest...

Shaun's headed nowhere.

This is an absolute show

Shaun Harris from Prince Albert calling.

I'm up in the north yard here at Points.

I just thought maybe you might have a better idea

where these boxes are.

narrator: Shaun's picking up core sample boxes,

but there are hundreds of boxes,

zero people, and no instructions.

There are core boxes everywhere here.

Some of them are covered in four feet of snow.

So I'll just see if I can locate 'em.

Core boxes are used to store core samples,

drilled cores out of the ground.

They are a very important item to get to the site.

They really need these things.

narrator: The boxes are for a mining exploration company

working on one of the world's largest deposits of uranium.

I'm standing on something

and I have no clue what it is.

At some point today, I'm going to have to make a decision.

We either stay here and get this load,

or we have to pull the pin and go further north

to get our really important load,

which is for a power company that absolutely has to go.

narrator: If Shaun can't find the load,

he'll have to continue with nothing.

.

narrator: And that'll nuke his plan

to salvage the season.

How the are you supposed to

dig through this and find some...

frozen, ice-covered box?

ridiculous.

How the are you supposed to

dig through this and find some...

narrator: In the frigid outpost of Points North...

bull.

narrator: Shaun Harris is hunting for his load.

We're within days of losing this road,

so we need to get this loaded

and get the out of here onto the road.

One, two, three, four.

14, 15, 16.

This is our stuff.

I found it.

narrator: After finding the right boxes...

narrator: Shaun needs to load and go fast.

That was handy.

I'm too old for this .

Some heat in the sun...

Every hour that goes by is one less hour

that the road is going to be open.

It's on borrowed time.

Going to be a long day of shoveling snow off of pallets.

You want to make sure everything's cleaned off

and you have a dry surface for your straps to bite onto.

Otherwise, you're never going to keep your load tight.

And the roads that we're about to go over,

they need to be tight.

narrator: Finally, help arrives for Shaun.

All the banded core boxes,

I'll try and get as many on as I can.

This way, just a hair, maybe. A little more.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's a very slow and painful process

getting this stuff loaded.

But it's going, it's going.

When we get on the ice, I'll be back to my happy place.

Five-axle leaving Points northbound.

narrator: Finally loaded up,

Shaun's headed to Fond du Lac

to wait for Riley and Zach

so they can convoy

across Lake Athabasca to

the Uranium City ghost town.

We're going to run out of daylight today.

I would have wanted to be out of there about seven hours ago.

It really screwed up our schedule.

If you ain't turning, you ain't earning.

I hope the boys are killing it today.

narrator: 100 miles behind Shaun...

.

The sugar supply is rapidly depleting.

Oh, looks like the coffee's done.

narrator: Riley and Zach are fueling up

after burning through the night...

Ooh, that's way hotter than I thought it was gonna be.

OK, that's enough.

narrator: With a much-needed coffee break...

- There's cream. - Thank you.

Yep.

narrator: Before the last 300 miles

to meet Shaun in Fond Du Lac.

Well, I've had worse coffee than that.

narrator: 600 miles east...

narrator: The Muskie Creek convoy

is fighting their way home.

Right now, our biggest challenge

is getting out of here before the weather gets warm.

We got to push it hard.

narrator: Like Todd,

they're also racing back to Muskie Creek

for the last run of the season.

Can we just keep all drive tires on ground

today, you two?

OK, fine.

After a day like yesterday, I think we're gonna be lucky

to get to the end of the winter road.

What happened?

So is there another ice bridge there?

Yep.

Oh, my gosh. You gotta be kidding.

They always say, you fall off your horse,

you get back on, try it again.

Try to redeem yourself.

narrator: An ice bridge is a temporary winter road

crossing over large creeks...

Built with logs and branches plus layers of snow and water

that harden like rebar-reinforced concrete

into a solid, flat surface.

Oh, man. Way to go.

That's tight.

Just try and stay in my tracks.

narrator: Ice bridges are strong, but narrow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

narrator: It's a chance for Lisa to saddle up

and overcome her fears.

Can't believe we gotta deal with another one of these.

narrator: But this time,

the corner's tighter and the bridge is narrower.

Please. We don't need another incident.

I can't get over as much as I can

without going in the snowbank on this side.

This is just going to plow forward into the snowbank.

Oh, there we go.

Never a dull moment.

OK, I made it.

Come on, baby.

Come on, come on, come on.

He's like, I'm not stopping.

- Come on. - Oh!

No, no, no, no, no!

No! No!

No! No, Scooter!

No, no, no, no, no!

narrator: Stuck on an ice bridge halfway home...

No, no! No, Scooter!

narrator: The battle with Asheweig Road rages on.

Come on, baby. Come on, come on, come on.

Holy .

I'm stuck here. I'm stuck.

I went over too far.

Come on!

Come on, come on.

Put chains on, Scooter.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

OK, too much dicking around.

- Yikes. - Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

Come on! Come on!

You're golden!

Yeah!

Oh, my gosh.

He's like watching a drama show.

You're like, oh, snowbank? Ditch? No problem!

Jeez.

You guys get out of here.

- Yeah. - Let's go.

That was fun.

Not!

To feel like I'm being defeated pisses me off,

but it drives me to try to get out of my situation.

Quit picking on me.

narrator: Headed in the same direction, but faster...

Four days of battling, cussing, swearing.

narrator: Todd's whipping his 400 force-fed horses

to pull harder.

Get back to Muskie Creek

to grab another load before the end of the season.

narrator: And he'll need every bit of that horsepower

to get back on time.

Back on the big ice crossing.

And I know there's a big monster frickin' hill

that drops down on the lake.

It's one of the steepest hills I've ever seen on an ice road.

Very long, very windy, and very bumpy.

But I know what to do.

Hit the hill with everything she's got,

see if we can make her.

This is a hill.

Come on.

Keep digging.

Come on.

Come on!

Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Made it.

Tell you what, that's one of the biggest hills

I think I've ever seen on the ice roads.

No hassles, no complications,

try to just haul ass out of the ice road.

I'm on my way back to Muskie Creek

to grab another load and make another paycheck.

I'm stoked.

narrator: 800 miles northwest...

Hauler 40, five-axle north.

narrator: Shaun's burning the midnight oil

and lots of diesel to make up time after a slow pit stop

jeopardized his race to save the season.

We need to get this loaded

and get the gear on the road.

The main concern is the big holes.

You never know how deep they are.

I've seen guys break wheels off, break axles, lose loads.

We, uh, finally made it to the ice.

It's late at night,

but we're gonna keep pushing across to Fond Du Lac.

We got about two hours across the water here.

We're the only truck on the road tonight.

We haven't met anybody.

There's no radio chatter.

So if we have trouble out here on the ice, we're all alone.

I'm just getting everything ready.

Gloves there so they're easily accessible.

And I got my good luck charm.

That's my Crispy-- my Crispy piggy too.

He's my handsome boy, eh?

I wear this because it reminds me of my boy, Crispy.

Some people carry, you know, lucky rabbit's foot

or a teddy bear or something.

But I keep my lucky Crispy hat.

Squeaking, squeaking?

As we travel across the ice now,

I'm going to keep my window down part ways.

If something happens where we start to break through,

then we'll open the door and try and bail.

I've always been a guy that liked to drive at night.

I love when the Northern Lights are out

and the stars are shining.

I'm not a guy to listen to loud music in the truck.

I just concentrate on what I'm doing.

And just one with the unit.

And that's what I enjoy.

I enjoy the solitude of it.

I'm tired today. I'm played out.

It's been a long week.

My body just can't take these rough roads like they used to.

narrator: The silent light snow gives Shaun a chance

to rest up as he waits for Riley and Zach

just outside Fond du Lac for the final leg

of the ice crossing into the Uranium City ghost town.

Nice and quiet. It's beautiful.

narrator: Hundreds of miles from blacktop...

Only one thing left to do now.

Head for home.

narrator: Todd's racing back to Muskie Creek.

Season's almost over,

and Bill has got one more high-priority load,

and I guess it's ready to rock.

I've got to get back to Muskie Creek

as fast as possible before this ice road

completely closes.

narrator: Todd is at the limit,

balancing speed and control.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. She's sliding.

It's definitely slick out.

Especially with no weight on the truck.

narrator: Without the weight of a load pressing his tires

into the ice, he's low on grip.

I'm trying to be prepared for slicked-up spots.

You can see the glaze on the ice.

narrator: And when ambition exceeds adhesion...

Oh, corner, corner, corner.

narrator: His 53-foot, 10,000-pound trailer

oversteers towards the snowbank and trees.

Whoo, trailer took off on me right there.

Holy smokes.

So far, the truck's been doing pretty good.

I think part of that's because of driver knowledge.

I know just how hard to push it without breaking it.

You can just see the trailer just trying to take off,

just sliding.

Oh, .

We'll slow her down a little bit.

I don't want her sliding too much.

We want to make enough money this year to buy a log truck.

I'm putting a little bit aside

out of every one of my paychecks from up here.

And maybe I'll be able to put that project together,

build a truck that's dedicated just to my dad.

It would be an honor, it would be a blessing,

It would be amazing for me to get another truck

that looked just like his.

Growing up, my dad, he was in the logging industry.

My Saturday morning was always up and early

and gone with dad in the truck.

There's just nothing like that,

driving down the truck with your dad in the passenger seat,

eating a big old frickin' hamburger,

hauling a load of logs.

My dad was my hero. He was my legend.

In 1996, January 1,

he was diagnosed with cancer.

So within two months, I lost my dad.

I know my dad's smiling down from up above.

I think he'd be pretty proud.

Absolutely.

This is Cry Baby Hill.

Do I need to change?

Do I just hit it like something else?

narrator: Across the unforgiving landscape...

I was gonna say hit it hard, but she's slick.

narrator: The final battle of Asheweig Road has begun.

Jeez!

narrator: And standing between the Muskie Creek convoy

and victory is Cry Baby Hill...

A half mile of ice on a 7% grade

that stops drivers in their tracks,

as Todd learned the hard way.

Whoa.

Nope, I'm spinning.

Not again! Come on!

narrator: Even worse, the awkward,

oversized camp shacks make it almost impossible

to correct mistakes.

All right, I'm gonna give her a shot here.

Hell, yeah. That's the attitude.

Oh, my gosh.

It's an extremely fine balance.

Go fast enough to actually get there today,

but go slow enough that you're not just

braking and going in the ditch.

OK, this is going to hurt.

Come on. It's almost there.

Whoo-hoo!

Did you make it?

Yeah, I made it.

OK, Scooter, your turn.

Oh, I'm coming.

Preparing for Cry Baby Hill.

Oh, .

Come on, baby!

We got this!

Oh, this is gonna suck.

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

Don't you spin. Come on.

Come on, baby, come on.

.

You gotta be kidding me.

I'm hanging on the top.

I was over the top

over the damn hill and I slide back here.

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

Backing up.

Oh, . Oh, .

Oh, .

I mean this. Come on.

Ooh, yeah.

Come on, I got you.

Whew.

That was like a 60-foot camp shack

sliding back down the hill.

I'm going for it.

Oh! Come on, baby!

Come on. Take it on the right.

There you go, baby.

Come on!

You can do it!

.

I can't win!

I'm right back at the same damn spot

and I'm starting there again.

Oh, boy.

I'm .

Hey, Todd, you got a copy?

I'm hanging on the top. I am .

Oh, you're still at the top?

Yep.

I went all the way down to try it again,

and that same spot.

I told you that was his catchphrase.

Guys, I'm stuck and I'm .

I don't know what we can do.

I don't know if you can pull the vehicle back

and pull me or what.

You owe me. I will drop my trailer.

I'll come pull your ass out of there.

narrator: After two failed attempts

to climb Cry Baby Hill...

I guess I'm buying tonight.

narrator: Scooter's not getting a third try.

Instead, he's getting a pull.

Muskie Todd's dropping his trailer

to free up his winch...

Throwing on chains to max out his grip...

- You're doing that end? - Yeah.

OK.

narrator: And headed out to the rescue.

Go save Scooter.

Put that chain through there.

I'm gonna winch right tight up to you

I'm going to try and take as much weight off your steer

so I got weight.

And we're going.

narrator: More weight means more grip.

By lifting the truck with the winch...

He's got my front end lifted up.

narrator: The weight over Scooter's front axle

is transferred to Muskie Todd's rear axle,

where power and torque are delivered...

You ready?

Let's do it.

narrator: Forming Ice Road Voltron,

an 18-wheel, 40,000-pound, hill-crushing monster.

Oh, my God.

This guy's insane. I love it.

Come on, baby, come on, baby.

Whoo-hoo!

That's some cowboy right here, baby!

Whoa, baby!

Through hell and high water, get the damn job done.

I've never seen trucks mating before.

Is this how baby trucks are made?

We have arrived at our destination.

You said no more tires off the ground.

I lied.

Bounced my boobies there, buddy.

Muskie Todd is our superhero of the day

and our guardian angel.

Lisa claimed the bridge.

You claimed the hill.

Cry Baby Scooter.

Oh!

I'm ready. You guys ready?

- Good. - Let's go, let's go.

The end of the road.

It was rough, but we made it.

And I'm like, you're welcome.

narrator: Free from the clutches of Asheweig Road,

the Muskie convoy points their rigs south

and burns towards home.

I can't wait until our next adventure.

Oh, man.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one

that sounds like I've had a hectic year.

Yeah.

That's what I always liked about Lisa,

trucking with her.

We didn't get a lot of trips together,

but when we did and something did happen,

I'd be underneath the truck and all of a sudden look over,

and there's Lisa with her tools.

Hey, what can we do?

What's happening underneath there?

narrator: After a long season,

old friends Todd and Lisa

finally get a chance to catch up.

Todd is like one of my all-time heroes.

And man, we've had some fun times.

Todd, how you doing back there?

Lisa's an amazing driver.

Me and Lisa have been friends for a long time.

We've done a lot of ice roads.

Off the ice, Lisa made 'er.

Yeah, 10-4 there, good buddy.

Me and Lisa's relationship

is like big brother, little sister.

that's what I'm talking about!

Whoo!

Holy cow.

Todd and Lisa have that fun little camaraderie

between each other

and I'm just happy to be part of it.

When you think you've had everything that could possibly

happen to you on the ice road happen, like,

I've got every tool to cover every job.

No.

If something happens and you're like,

are you fricking me right now?

I had all the brass.

And you don't have the one tool

that you need to fix that.

Have you seen what's in her truck?

She's got 90% of the shop in her truck.

Dude, I have hoarded every tool

that I can find on the road.

In the bathroom, I was getting hose clamps off the floor.

We're kind of a family on the roads.

And it's so cool.

Makes all the trouble that sometimes,

it is worth it.

I think little Scooter balls here is learning.

You can't be prepared enough to go out on these roads.

Me and Tater Tot agreed that his new catchphrase is,

"Guys, I'm stuck."

- Yeah, yeah. - Oh, man.

Yeah.
