COME ON, BABY.

NARRATOR:
BUT WITH AN EMPTY TRAILER

GIVING HIM VIRTUALLY
NO TRACTION,

IT'LL BE A ROUGH 570 MILES

ALEX:
EVEN WITH ALL THE CHAINS ON,

I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TRACTION

BECAUSE I HAVE NO WEIGHT
ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

EVEN IF I HAD MY WIFE SITTING
UP THERE IN A ROCKING CHAIR,

IT'D GIVE ME MORE TRACTION.

NARRATOR:
AS DAYLIGHT COMES...

THE STORM'S STILL
GOT PLENTY OF LIFE.

IT'S SNOWIN' AND BLOWIN'

[ICE CRACKING]

I CAN SEE THE SIDE

ANYTHING ELSE.

NARRATOR:
WITH THE EDGE OF THE LAKE
PROVIDING THE ONLY VISIBLE

WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BANK

ALL THE WAY ACROSS THIS [BLEEP]

WHERE AM I?

THE BANK IS RIGHT [BLEEP]

NARRATOR:
BUT IT'S A RISKY TRAIL
TO FOLLOW.

IF I GET INTO THAT,
SHE'S OVER.

NARRATOR:
CROSSING'S ARE USUALLY
IN THE CENTRE OF THE LAKE

WHERE ICE FORMS
AT ITS THICKEST.

ON THE EDGES,
THE ICE IS DANGEROUSLY THIN,

AND MIGHT NOT BE ABLE
TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT

OF THE BIG RIG.

THERE WE GO, BOY,
HOW DOES THAT LOOK?

THE BANK IS RIGHT THERE.

TELL YOU WHAT, BUDDY,

WE'RE PLOUGHING THROUGH
FRESH SNOW UP HERE.

THESE HUGE BLIZZARD-ASS
SNOWSTORMS

WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH,

HAVE BEEN JUST OUTRAGEOUS.

I MEAN, WHITEOUT, BLIZZARDS,

NARRATOR:
TODD'S TRYING TO GRAB ANOTHER
LOAD AT HEADQUARTERS

AS FAST AS HE CAN.

TODD:
AND I'M SUPER STOKED,
READY TO GET HOOKED UP,

AND GET RIGHT BACK
ON THE ICE ROAD

AND MAKE ANOTHER BIG PAYCHEQUE.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

NARRATOR:
BUT AN ICE CROSSING PILED HIGH
WITH OVER 4-FEET OF SNOW...

TODD:
WHOA.

NARRATOR:
COULD DERAIL HIS PLAN.

TODD:
DO YOU SEE HOW MUCH SNOW
IS PILED

ON TOP OF THIS FREAKIN' LAKE?

THE WIND'S BLOWING ALL NIGHT,

THEY HAVEN'T PLOUGHED THE ROAD,

SO IT'S JUST GREAT BIG
SNOW DRIFTS.

WHILE YOU'VE GOT NO WEIGHT ON,

YOU CAN'T GET NO TRACTION
GOING THROUGH THERE.

NARRATOR:
DEEP SNOW DRIFTS
AND A LIGHT LOAD

CAN BE A DEADLY COMBINATION,

AS PROPER TRACTION
IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

TODD:
LOOKS SCARY LOOK AT THAT.

I CAN'T SEE WHERE THE DRIFTS
ARE AND WHERE THEY'RE NOT.

I'M NERVOUS, I'M SITTING

THE LONGER THE TRUCK SITS,

THE MORE IT PRESSURES
THE FRAGILE ICE.

TODD:
I CAN'T GET THROUGH
THIS [BLEEP]

WITHOUT [BLEEP] CHAINS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I CAN
GET THROUGH IT WITH CHAINS.

TODD'S PLAN?

PUT ON CHAINS AND TRY TO CLAW
HIS WAY TO FREEDOM.

[CHAINS CLINKING]

TODD:
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA
WORK, OR NOT.

THE SNOW IS REALLY DEEP
RIGHT HERE, THIS DRIFT.

AGH!
CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT 'EM ON.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS,
LET'S START MOVING,

GET ME THE [BLEEP]
OFF THIS ICE.

AS TODD ROCKS THE TRUCK,

THE SHIFTING WEIGHT COULD
CAUSE THE ICE TO SHATTER

AT ANY MOMENT.

TODD:
KEEP GOING, DON'T STOP.

ALL THIS DAMN SNOW!

DAMN IT! GO!

OH YEAH!

NARRATOR:
TODD'S ROLLING...

I JUST DON'T WANNA GET STUCK

I WANNA GET OFF OF THIS ICE.

BUT ONE WRONG MOVE,

AND HE'LL BE RIGHT BACK

COME ON, DON'T GET STUCK.

WE NEED TO GET OFF THE ICE.

WHOO-HOO!

OH! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER
RIGHT NOW.

DUDE, WHAT A SIGH OF RELIEF!

OH, WE'RE ON SHORE,

NARRATOR:
OVER 700 MILES FROM WINNIPEG,

MUSKRAT DAM IS ONE OF
THE FARTHEST DESTINATIONS

IN POLAR'S PUSH INTO ONTARIO.

LISA:
OOH, I SEE THE LAKE.

IT'S A BRAND NEW ONE THAT'S
CRACKED AND OPEN TODAY,

AND I'M THE FIRST ONE TO IT.

I'M GONNA STOP HERE
BEFORE I GO DOWN ON IT.

THIS IS A REALLY BIG LAKE.

GET OUT HERE
AND CHECK THIS LAKE OUT.

NARRATOR:
THE CROSSING TOOK A BEATING
FROM THE BLIZZARD,

AND IT'S JUST REOPENED.

NOW, LISA WILL BE THE FIRST
TO TEST IT.

LISA:
THE WIND BLEW A BUNCH OF SNOW
ON THE LAKE,

AND SO MUCH SNOW GOT ON IT
THAT IT CRACKED IT,

AND THE WATER CAME UP THROUGH,

AND MADE A MESS OUT OF IT,
MADE IT IMPASSABLE.

THE WIND'S STILL BLOWING,

AND THERE'S STILL
A LOT OF SNOW ON IT,

I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY DEEP
LOOKING SNOW.

I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IF I'LL SEE
THE SPOT THAT WAS BROKEN.

IT KIND OF REMINDS OF LIKE
WHEN I WAS A KID,

MY DAD USED TO TAKE US OUT
TO THESE LAKES

AND HE WOULD TEST OUT THE ICE
FOR US.

HE'D GO OUT ON IT,
HE'D BE LIKE...

TODAY, I'M FOLLOWING
IN HIS FOOTSTEPS,

BUT I'M GOING TO USE A BIG RIG
TIRE TO TEST THE ICE OUT WITH,

YOU KNOW, I JUST REALLY HOPE
IT HOLDS UP.

I MEAN OKAY,
MAYBE I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS

BECAUSE I'M THE FIRST ONE
ON A LAKE THAT JUST REOPENED,

BUT IT'S THE BUTTERFLIES
THAT MAKE LIFE FUN.

NARRATOR:
LISA FORGES AHEAD
WITH THE 30 TONNE LOAD.

LISA:
I'M GONNA TAKE IT REALLY SLOW
ON THIS LAKE, THOUGH.

[ENGINE HUMS, ICE CRACKS]

THIS DEFINITELY LOOKS
LIKE THE OVERFLOW

AND IT'S MAKING A LOT OF NOISE
RIGHT HERE.

[ICE CRACKING]

YUP, THAT'S WHERE IT CRACKED.

YOU CAN SEE THE WATER ON TOP OF THE ICE AND THE SNOW.

IT'S FROZEN NOW, BUT...

MAKES YOU WONDER HOW ICE HEALS,
DOES IT HEAL STRONGER,

OR DOES IT HEAL WEAKER?

I HOPE IT HEALS STRONGER.
[SMALL CHUCKLE]

[ICE CRACKING]

ICE IS CRACKING...

OKAY, I WANNA GET OFF
THIS LAKE, RIGHT NOW.

OH, MADE IT.

ALL RIGHT, I'M ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE LAKE,

THE NEW LAKE,
THE NEW ROUTE.

THE CROSSING'S BEHIND HER,

BUT SHE'S STILL GOT 100 MILES TO THE DISTANT ONTARIO VILLAGE.

WHILE ONE POLAR DRIVER
GUNS AHEAD...

I'M GONNA GO DOWN
AND HAVE A TALK WITH MARK.

NARRATOR:
ANOTHER IS LOOKING
FOR A SHOOT-OUT.

I GOT THREE LOADS
IN A MONTH.

EVERYBODY ELSE IS GETTING
FLIP LOADS,

GETTING MORE LOADS THAN I AM.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE,

I APOLOGIZE IF IT'S NOT UP

DAY ONE, SINCE I GOT HERE.

I UNDERSTAND
THAT WE'RE A TEAM HERE,

BUT I COME UP HERE
TO HAUL THESE LOADS

AND GET AS MANY LOADS AS I CAN.

THIS ISN'T ALL ABOUT YOU.

IS IT TO ME.

IT'S ABOUT MY LIVELIHOOD,
AND ABOUT MY FUTURE

AND MY FAMILY.

YOU KNOW, DARRELL,
HE'S GOT THAT ELEMENT IN HIM,

IF THINGS AREN'T GOING HIS WAY,

HE'S GOT THAT SELFISHNESS
IN HIM, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

HE-HE'S NOT THAT TEAM PLAYER.

I'M UP HERE TO RUN THESE
THREE MONTHS

THAT THESE ICE ROADS ARE OPEN,

AND GET AS MANY LOADS AS I CAN.

YES, IT IS ABOUT ME.

MARK:
YOU KNOW WHAT,
I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE

FOUR IN THE MORNING,

TRYING TO GET GUYS HOME
PROPERLY

WITH THIS MASSIVE SNOWSTORM
WE'VE HAD.

I GOT LOADS TO GET OUT.

SO LIKE I SAID,
AT THE END OF THE DAY,

YOU'VE GOTTA FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOU WANNA DO.

EITHER YOU'RE GONNA STICK
WITH THE TEAM,

I'VE GOT THE LOADS FOR YOU.

I HAVEN'T GOT THE LOADS.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING
GETTING ANY BETTER.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, DARRELL,
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION

WHETHER YOU'RE PART
OF THIS TEAM OR NOT

BECAUSE THIS IS JUST
GETTING RIDICULOUS.

WE WENT THROUGH THIS CRAP
LAST YEAR WITH YOU,

YOU KNOW, COMPLAINING,
THIS AND THAT.

I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU
AS A DRIVER,

BUT THE THING IS,
YOU'RE IN OR YOU'RE OUT.

SAME AS LAST YEAR
AND STICK TO IT.

I'M UP HERE TO RUN THESE
THREE MONTHS

ARE LOCKED IN A SHOWDOWN.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING

WELL, YOU KNOW, WHAT DARRELL,
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION

WHETHER YOU'RE PART
OF THIS TEAM OR NOT,

BECAUSE THIS IS JUST
GETTING RIDICULOUS.

I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU
AS A DRIVER,

BUT THE THING IS,
YOU'RE IN OR YOU'RE OUT.

SAME AS LAST YEAR

I DON'T NEED TO BE SITTING HERE
GETTING THREE LOADS A MONTH.

OKAY, ARE YOU DONE?
ARE YOU DONE?

WHILE YOU'RE DOING WHATEVER
AND YOU'RE SAYING

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME,
I'M TELLING YOU IT IS ABOUT ME,

AND I'M GOING TO DO WHATEVER I
NEED TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

OKAY, YOU'RE DONE.
THE DOOR'S RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT ON,
I'M OUT THE DOOR.

ALL RIGHT, OUT.

THAT'S FINE, I DON'T NEED
THIS ANYMORE, EITHER.

OKAY. SEE YA LATER,
SEE YA.

I'M OUTTA HERE, I'M GONE.

I'M GOIN'. I'M GONNA GO FIND
SOMETHING ELSE.

I DON'T NEED TO BE
DEALING WITH THIS [BLEEP].

MYSELF DOWN IN THERE,

TODD WILL NEED TO TOW
THE TANKERS OUT OF THE WAY.

MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT WHEEL
TURNED OUT A LITTLE BIT.

GET A LIFT SPEED,

HAS SNAPPED,

LEAVING HER SUSPENSION
UNPROTECTED.

THAT STRAP IS BASICALLY
JUST SO THAT MY SHOCKS

DON'T LIKE OVEREXTEND.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST HILLS
ON THE TRAIL ONLY A MILE AWAY,

COULDN'T COME AT A WORSE TIME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN
IF YOU OVEREXTEND THEM.

MAYBE WE'LL FIND OUT.

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S TRY THIS HILL.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

IT'S BROKE, SO I DON'T KNOW
IF MAYBE IF IT OVEREXTENDS,

IF IT'LL POP AN AIRBAG OR NOT.

I HOPE NOT, BECAUSE I DON'T
KNOW HOW TO FIX AIRBAGS.

THAT WOULD SUCK.

AFTER TACKLING ONE OF THE MOST FEARED ROADS IN ALL OF ONTARIO,

LISA CHALKS UP ANOTHER LOAD
FOR TEAM POLAR.

LISA:
IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT,
OF COURSE, IT ALWAYS IS.

I'M GONNA GET UP EARLY,
AND GET THIS OFFLOADED

SO I CAN HUSTLE MY BUSTLE
BACK TO WINNIPEG,

AND GET ANOTHER LOAD.
SO GOOD NIGHT.

NARRATOR:
180 MILES TO THE SOUTHWEST,

ON THE ROAD FROM RED SUCKER
LAKE TO WINNIPEG...

ALEX:
THE FUEL GAUGE IS IN THE RED.

NARRATOR:
ALEX DEBOGORSKI'S TRYING TO
BRING HOME A PAYDAY FOR VP...

I ALSO HAVE A LOW FUEL
LIGHT FLASHING.

NARRATOR:
BUT HE'S RUNNING ON FUMES.

ALEX:
I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR SIX,
GOING ON SEVEN DAYS NOW,

WITHOUT FUELLING UP.

I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR
I CAN GO NOW,

BUT WE'RE GONNA PUT HER TO
THE TEST FOR A WHILE HERE, YET.

NARRATOR:
THE VETERAN DESPERATELY
NEEDS TO REACH

THE NEAREST TOWN OF PONTON,
OVER 20 MILES AWAY TO FUEL UP.

I JUST NEED ENOUGH UNTIL I GET
TO THE FUEL STATION IN PONTON.

IF NOT, IT'LL BE DISASTER.

[TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES]

WHAT'S THIS?
WE GOT AN ICE ROAD.

[BLEEP]!

NARRATOR:
BUT NOW, HE'LL NEED
HIS LAST FEW DROPS

TO GET HIM ACROSS THE ICE.

AND NOW I GOT A LITTLE BIT
OF A PROBLEM HERE.

NARRATOR:
THE WORST PLACE TO RUN OUT
OF FUEL

IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROSSING
WITH A 14 TONNE LOAD.

[WIND GUSTS, ENGINE HUMS]

I'M NOT REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT THIS.

OH, IT'S A DISASTER.

[ICE CRUNCHES UNDER THE TIRES,
CHAINS CLINK]

I'M ON THE ICE NOW,

THE FRONT WHEELS
JUST WENT ON TO THE ICE.

MY FUEL'S DROPPED
ANOTHER CHUNK.

NEEDLESS TO SAY,

WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE CLOSE
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL.

WE'RE STILL MOVING,
THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

IF THIS TRUCK RUNS OUT OF FUEL,
IT'S A BIG JOB.

FIRST OF ALL,
IT'S COLD OUTSIDE,

TRUCK'S GONNA STOP,

SO WE CAN'T HEAT THE ENGINE,
CAN'T HEAT THE SLEEPER.

NOT NICE IN COLD WEATHER.

[TRUCK ENGINE HUMS]

[WARNING BEEP]

[ICE CRACKING]

NARRATOR:
ALEX MAKES IT THROUGH
THE CROSSING...

WE'VE SURVIVED ANOTHER ONE.

NARRATOR:
NOW HIS FUEL SUPPLY'S JUST
GOTTA LAST THE FINAL 17 MILES.

[TRUCK ENGINE SPUTTERS]

THE TRUCK IS ACTING
LIKE IT'S EMPTY.

[ENGINE STOPS, BEEPING]

NARRATOR:
ON THE WAY BACK TO WINNIPEG...

THE TRUCK IS ACTING
LIKE IT'S EMPTY.

NARRATOR:
ALEX DEBOGORSKI'S TANK
HAS RAN DRY.

ALEX:
AH! THAT'S IT.
SHE'S OUT.

WE GOT NO POWER LEFT NOW,
THAT'S IT.

[WIND GUSTS]

PUTTING OUT TRIANGLES

SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW
THAT I'M BROKE DOWN.

NARRATOR:
WITH NO FUEL...

[HOWLING IN THE DISTANCE]

NARRATOR:
ALEX HAS NO HEAT IN THE CAB

AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE
PLUMMETING.

[WIND GUSTS]

[TRUCK RUMBLES]

CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
I'M OUT OF FUEL.

HOW FAR FROM PONTON AM I?

GUESS WE'LL PULL THAT THING
OVER THERE.

IF YOU WANNA GIVE IT A TRY?

NARRATOR: WITH HELP FROM A PASSING TRUCK,

ALEX'S TOWED TO THE NEAREST
FUEL STATION.

[CHAINS CLINK]

ALEX:
HOW MUCH ADVENTURE CAN A GUY
HAVE IN ONE TRIP?

YOU GET IN THIS ZONE WHERE ALL
THIS STUFF STARTS HAPPENING,

AND YOU'RE WONDERING LIKE,

WHAT IN THE HECK'S GOING ON
HERE?

UNBELIEVABLE.

NARRATOR:
ONCE IN PONTON...

ALEX:
WELL, I'D NEVER BELIEVE IT
IF ANYBODY [LAUGHING]...

IF YOU TOLD ME THAT I'D NEVER
BELIEVE YOU GOT ME HERE.

MAN: [LAUGHING]
ALEX: GOOD JOB!

NARRATOR:
ALEX GASES UP,

AND HUNKERS DOWN
FOR THE FINAL STRETCH HOME.

I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME
TO SAY A PRAYER.

THE GOOD LORD IS HAVING FUN
WITH ME TODAY.

NARRATOR:
AS DAWN BREAKS...

BACK IN WINNIPEG...

[PHONE RINGS]

COME ON, RENO, ANSWER.

NARRATOR:
AFTER HIS EXPLOSIVE EXIT
FROM POLAR...

DARRELL GIVES HIS SON, RENO,
A CALL.

WHAT'RE YOU DOIN'?

OH NOT MUCH. I JUST GOT INTO IT
WITH MARK AT POLAR.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A MONTH
AND I'VE GOT THREE LOADS.

YEAH, IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME.

SO I WALKED OUT OF THERE
AND I'M DONE.

YUP.

YOU KNOW, I THINK RENO AND I
ARE A LOT ALIKE,

AND UH, I GENERALLY CALL RENO,
SEE HOW HE'S DOING,

LET HIM KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M EITHER GONNA HAVE
TO COME HOME

OR FIND SOMETHING UP...
SOMETHING UP HERE TO DO.

YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO STAY UP
HERE AND RUN THESE ROADS

UNTIL THE SEASON'S OVER, BUT...

YEAH.

SO I CALLED HIM ON THE PHONE,
AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED,

AND YOU KNOW,
THOUGHT ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT.

LIKE YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE,
LET'S DO IT.

I'M GONNA GO DRIVE AROUND
AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF TRUCKING
COMPANIES OUT HERE,

THERE'S A LOT OF TRUCKS UP HERE.

I'M JUST GONNA GO KNOCK
ON SOME DOORS OR SOMETHING,

SEE WHAT I CAN FIND.

YUP.
ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, LOVE YOU, TOO. BYE.

YOU KNOW, IF MARK THINKS
THAT HE'S SEEN THE LAST OF ME,

HE'S IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING.

IF YOU WANT A JOB DONE RIGHT,
YOU'VE GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF.

I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

WELL MARK, BRACE YOURSELF,

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S COMING AT YA.

NARRATOR:
NEXT TIME ON
"ICE ROAD TRUCKERS"...

IT'S GOT BIG RED LETTERS,
DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS.

NARRATOR:
DEADLY TRAILS...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO FAST
TO DIE.

NARRATOR:
AND POWER PLAYS...

DARRELL: [HONKING]
THANKS, FOR THE LOAD, MARK.

NARRATOR:
ROCK THE WINTER ROADS.

HUGH:
YEEHAW!
THAT'S WHAT I CALL TRUCKIN'.
