[Rattling]

It's a hard-hitting...

I'm actually terrified.
Oh!

Narrator:
Heart-stopping...

Todd:
Get the old fashioned
shovel out

and start fáááááá
digging myself out.

Narrator:
War on the winter roads.

Failure is not an option.

Narrator: Where it's take no prisoners...

One vehicle in the ditch
already.

Narrator:
And only the strong survive.

Oh! Ah!

Narrator:
Last week...

All right. Partners.
Team Lisa and Darrell.

Lisa:
Darrell and Lisa.

Narrator:
A shake up rocked
the winter roads.

Darrel: Let's do this!
Right on.
Lisa: Sounds good!

Narrator:
As Darrell and Lisa
joined forces

to take on polar industries.

Mark:
It's taken years for me
to get to the top,

I'm not gonna let anybody
stand in my way.

Narrator:
Sending the balance
of power...

Darrell:
Are you ready to do this,
Lisa?

Narrator:
Up for grabs.

I'm ready.
Let's do this!

[Truck engine roars]

Narrator:
Now, at Polar headquarters...

Todd:
What's the word, Mark?

Mark: [Sighs]
Lisa and Darrell.

Narrator:
Boss Mark Kohaykewych
is feeling the heat

from his competition.

They're breathing down
my neck hard,

And they're taking loads
from us that should be ours.

Well, we knew-we knew he was
gonna do this from the get go,

and I knew he was gonna be
pulling some sááá this year.

I knew Darrell and Lisa
teamed up together

Would be a fairly
serious threat,

But I never would have imagined

it would have been this big
of a threat.

I'm gonna show
Lisa and Darrell

who's really on top here.

I got an emergency load,
that's gotta get out.

I thought I could get the rest
of this thing ready to go,

but no, they need it now.
It's a big rush.

Can I count on you?

Todd:
I'm not gonna let Darrell
beat us.

If there's something
I can do about it,

I will do everything I can,
you know that.

Mark:
I appreciate it.
Hit the road, man.

No problem, Mark.

Narrator:
Todd's rush assignment -

30 tonnes of critical
heating supplies

for the village of Wasagamack,
400 miles from Winnipeg.

Todd:
Getting on my way
to Wasagamack.

[Loud thud]

There is a bump right there
though, holy smokes.

There's an axle-breaker for ya.

Narrator:
The long haul
is due by morning.

[Truck engine roars]

Todd:
That's just the beginning.
We've got a long ways to go,

a lot of miles to cover.

Narrator:
But Mark's top dog
is ready for the challenge.

Todd:
As long as I do work
for team Polar,

I will do everything I can
and anything within my power

to make sure that Mark
and his team

succeeds over anybody else.

And believe you me,
I am damn good at it.

Narrator:
As Polar gets on the road,

back in Winnipeg...

The road to Pikangikum -
that's closed.

It has a big crack in the ice.

Narrator:
Darrell's on the hunt
for his next haul

to keep the new company
rolling.

Nobody's wanting to go across
that crossing.

You don't have anything else.

Yeah, I'll take the load.

Yeah, thanks, buddy.

Narrator:
The 400 mile trail
to Pikangikum

was deemed too unsafe
for travel,

and shut down after numerous
accidents,

and a giant crack split
the ice.

but with urgent loads needed
for a new school,

the trail is reopened.

I guess I'm gonna be
the first one

to cross that cracked ice.

Narrator:
And to keep the renegade
operation going,

Darrell's gotta take
any load he can get.

I guess it's up to me
to make sure

it's safe for everybody else.

I've never backed down from
a challenge like that so...

I need the loads,
I'm gonna take it.

[Truck engine hums]

I know this road
has been shut down.

I'm the first one going out
across this ice crossing

after it heals up.

I don't know what to expect
when I get there,

But the road's open,
you gotta go for it.

[Engine roars]

I'm on my way to Pikangikum.

Narrator:
200 miles into
the deserted road...

Darrell:
Well, there's one- one vehicle
in the ditch already.

Narrator:
The only other truck
Darrell sees

is one that failed before him.

Darrell:
This road looks a little icy,

I'm sure that's what
got him in trouble,

going too fast.

[Truck rumbles]

Nobody's been wanting
to run this road,

this road's in bad shape.

I don't know what I'm in for,
but it doesn't sound good.

Narrator:
This far from civilization,

when rigs are damaged
beyond repair,

it's too difficult
for them to be recovered,

so they're abandoned
until spring.

Darrell:
There's a truck in the ditch.

Narrator:
And this trail
is littered with them.

Darrell:
Somebody tried to pull him out,
but didn't get it.

Nobody's on this road
for a reason.

Maybe they know something
I don't know.

Art:
We're headin' for Garden Hill
with a load of lumber, here,

And I hope to God when
I get there that I don't,

before I get there,

I don't smash it all to hell

I-I got a lot riding
on this season, Art.
Art: Yeah, I know.

Mark:
So... We-we can't fool around.
So I just-

I need you to slow down,
I need you to think, man.

Just do good work, man, okay?
Art: Okay, my friend.

Mark: Okay. Bye,
Art: See ya later.
Mark: Take it easy.

Narrator:
After Mark put art on notice
to start the season...

[Siren wails]

Holy fááá, b'y,
the dot's behind us,

with the lights on
and everything.

Well, well, fááá
Well, fááá, well.

Narrator:
The Polar driver's first haul
was far from perfect.

Now, he needs a smooth run
with his 25 tonne haul...

[Truck thuds]

or he could be sent packing.

The road is rough as hell,

so hopefully I'm gonna get there

without rim-wrecking everything.

[Laughs]

Narrator:
And the 600 mile trip
to Garden Hill

will put Art to the test.

I'm here to get these
Fáááááá loads in,

and get as many as I can

in the short time
that I'm here.

Then we'll be all set,

let's make a couple of dollars
when I'm down here, eh?

Narrator:
A record-setting cold front, nicknamed the Siberian express,

has invaded the north.

[Loud banging]

Narrator:
Freezing roads so solid
that every bump

feels like getting pounded
inside a metal drum.

[Loud clang]

I couldn't see that
fáááááá thing.

Well, if I don't get
my neck broke or something,

on the ceiling here.

It's a good thing that
I'm in such great shape.

[Laughs]

Well, I wouldn't be able
to handle this banging

and smashing and going on.

Sometimes I get up in the
morning after a day of this,

I feel like I'm about 130.

Whenever you get to see them
fááá red things,

hang on to your camera.

It's gonna be real there.

[Loud banging]

Narrator:
The flags alert drivers
to trouble spots on the road.

There is another one of themorange fáááááá things, eh?

[Loud clangs]

Art:
Some of these bumps you've
gotta whack over them

or you're not gonna
get over them.

[Loud clangs]

This is one way to fááá
ride the ice road, b'y.

Narrator:
As Art rumbles ahead...

[Truck tires rumble]

This road's actually
been really rough.

Narrator:
Lisa Kelly's been making
noise of her own.

Lisa:
I have to be careful
on the bumps

because I don't want to tip it.

Narrator:
And she's wrangled
a new contract

that could be a windfall
for the company.

Hauling a giant 30 tonne load
of building supplies...

800 miles to the distant
town of Brochet.

Lisa:
Partnering up with Darrell
in my own business

is something that
I've never done before,

so that's a new step for me.

Narrator: The haul's got a big price tag,

I'm actually terrified.

Narrator:
But the path is one
of the least traveled

and least maintained
in the winter road system,

making this one a high risk,
high reward venture.

[Truck engine hums]

Lisa:
As long as the truck holds up,
it'll be good.

[Truck engine hums]

I see water flowing,
it's like flowing.

hope it's all right to cross?

Narrator:
Open water is a dangerous
unknown

for an ice road trucker.

what looks harmless on top...

Ah! [Ice cracks]

could be deep enough
to swallow an entire rig.

Anyway, I'm going to get out
and check it out

because I don't want
to go through.

There's a hole there.

No telling how deep it is
after that hole, huh?

Oh my gosh.

[Truck engine rumbles]

But I made it, I made it.

It's like the mail,
through rain, and sunshine,

And hail, nor sleet,

Shall stop me
from delivering my load.

Narrator:
Back in Winnipeg...

Mark:
Uh-huh, St. Theresa Point?

Narrator:
The competition's taking
on a crucial mission

for a distant community
in need.

Yeah, we can get those out.

All right.
Bye, bye.

We just got a call
about a food drive

going up to St. Theresa Point,

and we really want to step up
and help the community,

so we've decided
to donate a run.

we deliver all these loads
every year,

it'd be nice to give
something back.

Narrator:
Of all the cargo the ice road
truckers haul

in their short season,

none is more vital than food.

and for the people in the
remote First Nations village,

this winter the food supply
is dangerously low.

We're helping families,
we're helping people.

We're providing essentials.

Narrator:
And the boss is giving
the special delivery
to a trucking legend.

Mark:
People are really excited
to see this,

And I think Alex
is the perfect guy for it.

Alex:
Let's see if this is
gonna work.

[Truck door closes]

Narrator:
While there's no big paycheque
associated with the load,

for the town of St. Theresa,
it's priceless.

Alex:
Okay?

We do a big service
for the community.

We get an early spring,

then all the freight might
not get in,

and then that community
is short of food,

so it's an important thing
we get it done,

And go home with big smiles
on our face.

[Chuckles]

Off like a hurdle of turtles.

Narrator:
The rock hard trail
to St. Theresa

is a minefield of bumps
and frozen muskeg.

[Clang] Oh!

Narrator:
So it'll take everything
the veteran's got

to keep his truck in one piece.

The shaking starts
right here.

[Loud clang]

It's like being in a dryer.

This load is especially
important

because it's got a number of
pallets of groceries on it,

So failure is not
an option here.

Narrator:
While Alex hammers down,

Darrell's blazing a trail
on the deserted route to
Pikangikum.

Darrell:
Well, I don't know
what I'm in for,

but it doesn't sound good.

I gotta go for it,

until I find something
that stops me.

Narrator:
Snagging the dangerous haul
to keep his new company
in the game.

Got a one lane bridge
coming up here.

This is definitely
not some place

where you want to meet traffic

going too fast
on these icy roads.

Fact is, it looks like we have
an accident right here.

Wow.

Big old smash up.

Narrator:
But so far, the treacherous
path is looking more

like a junkyard than
a winter road.

I can't believe how many trucks
they've got in the ditch,

and they've got wrecked.

Good thing about it,

a lot less traffic out here
for me to have to deal with.

Narrator:
As Darrell closes in
on his destination,

he'll have to contend with
the road's ultimate threat -

the notorious crossing
at Pikangikum,

that's just reopened
after a giant crack in the ice

forced it to be shut down.

Darrell:
Struggling pretty hard
right now,

and I gotta do what I can
to make it survive,

and if this is what it takes,
this is what I'm gonna do.

pooching up because that

Narrator:
Under the snow, the hidden
dangers are lurking.

Darrell:
They're a lot bigger

Narrator:
And cracks are everywhere.

I can dig it out
for quite a ways.

I mean, that's cracks

and I'm back on my way,

so that's all that matters.

Narrator: As Todd finishes the final mile to his destination...

a new day dawns,
and 20 miles to the east...

Art:
So we're making pretty good
time, considering.

[Loud thuds]

Narrator:
Polar's wild card is closing
in on Garden Hill.

[Truck tires rumble]

I got about 40 kilometres
to go.

If my old body can handle it.

We've just got this ice
crossing to go,

and then we're there.

Narrator:
But as he reaches Island Lake,

Art's got to tackle one
of the longest crossings
in north America -

over 10 miles of brittle,
fragile ice.

Look at this.
26 tonnes.

This thing is maxed
to the [bleep].

I'm gonna get out here
and stretch my legs

before we head across this,

might be the last time
I'll be stretching them.

So I'd better have a,
better get out and have a look
at this, eh.

♪♪♪

♪♪♪

This is a long ice crossing,
man.

♪♪♪

This must be one of the longest
ice crossings in fáááááá
Manitoba.

The reality of the whole thing -can I go through the ice?

Of course I can.

But fááá, you know,
can't be thinking like that.

That's negative thinking, man.

[Truck door closes]

We're moseying down
on the ice, here.

[Truck engine roars]

[Ice cracking]

Art is on the ice.

Narrator:
With no one around for miles,

and at least an hour
of ice ahead of him,

Art slowly rolls ahead.

[Water bubbles]

[Truck door closes]

Test run.

I'm just making fáááááá sure
that door opens, man,

because this is heavy, and
we're doing a lot of cracking.

Narrator: On one of the longest crossings in the world...

We're gonna listen for pops
and cracks now, eh.

Narrator:
Art Burke's trying to keep
his 25 tonne load above ice.

[Ice cracks]
Ooh, that was a good one.

Did you hear that one?

That must have been one of them
big fáááááá sheets

across like lightning, eh.

I been seeing them
all over the place.

Narrator:
Halfway through the journey,

Art reaches the deepest stretch of the lake,

and the water below descends
to over 200 feet.

♪♪♪

Art:
So not only if I go through this will I probably get drown,

but I ruin the ice road
for all these people

that need this to get back
and forth, know what I mean.

So like it's not just me that
gets it when I go through this,

It'll ruin everything, eh.

[Ice cracking]

So we're just gonna mosey
over here.

Oh, whoa! Whoa!
[Bleep]

Fááá, just in case, eh.

The best thing to do
if you hear a crack and a pop

and she starts to go down
is just out that fááá door

As quick as you can, man.
Hope for the best.

[Truck tires crunch on ice]

Narrator:
As he approaches
the crossing's edge,

the ice is at its thinnest.

[Ice cracking]

Narrator:
And his maxed out haul

pushes the brittle surface
to the limit.

Art:
When you get to the end
like this,

you want to go faster because
you're nearing the end.

I don't know, just instinct
or something

makes you want to go faster, eh.But you can't do that.

You've gotta go the same speed,

and when you get to the end
you even gotta slowdown more.

Come on, baby.
[Kiss sounds]

♪♪♪

[Truck engine roars]

Oh. Relax, take a deep...
[Big inhale, exhale]

[Laughs]
Okay.

Narrator:
Finally, art makes it
to the other side.

Art:
We're in Garden Hill, buddy,
We're in Garden Hill.

Narrator:
And after 10 miles of ice,

a load is on the books
for Polar.

We just got here, b'y,
everything's fine this time.

We didn't demolish nothing
in the back. Good for me.

And I think we're on her
right now, b'y,

We'll get the hell out of here
and get as much daylight in

as we can, eh.

[Truck door closes]

Okay, buddy.

We're off.

Narrator:
As art heads for Winnipeg,

10 miles to the southwest...

Alex:
I'm in St. Theresa Point.

This is the best part
of doing what I do.

The occasions that I get to
actually help out the community
directly.

Narrator:
Team-mate Alex Debogorski,

is delivering a one
of a kind haul.

Alex:
Okay, I think we got here.

Go and unload it.

I brought a bunch of groceries
from Winnipeg that were
donated,

basically they're, they're to
alleviate some of the costs
of winter

And the high cost of buying
groceries right here in the
community.

Narrator:
The entire run,

use of a trailer, fuel,
and driver,

has been donated by Polar,

a way of giving back
to a community in need.

Alex:
Very good,
thank you very much.

Chief:
A small token of our
appreciation from us,
from the community.

Alex: Thank you very much.
Chief: All right.

People were really happy
to see me

and I got to meet the chief.

Chief:
Take that with you.

Well, thank you very much.

and he gave me a painting
of an eagle.

Chief: Thank you.
Alex: Thank you.

You know, people come up
and they're happy to see you,

and shake your hand,
and thank you.

That's the enjoyable
part of it.

Sometime I get opportunities

like bringing stuff
to St. Theresa Point

and people appreciate it
and say hey, you know,

we really appreciate it,
you know.

[Alex laughs]

I feel good because they accept
me as part of their community.

That's about as good
as it gets right there.

Narrator:
The Polar hauls
are all accounted for,

and 400 miles
to the northwest...

Lisa:
I am here.

'Cause there's the signs going
out and saying 'winter road.'

Yeah.
So I must be in Brochet.

Narrator:
After a gruelling run,

Lisa Kelly finally reaches
the finish line.

The stakes are higher
this year, for sure.

That just makes me
have to work a little harder

to make sure that I live up
to that expectation.

Never thought this moment
would ever come.

I know.
How are you?

Man: Nice to meet you.
Lisa: Nice to meet you, too.

Narrator:
With the delivery to Brochet,

The new business owner
has scored big.

I'm all offloaded here
at Brochet.

I'm still kind of bummed I keep
getting a day behind.

I didn't make up
any more days.

Narrator:
And though the wrong turn
set her back,

the contract is secured,

and the renegade company
is on a roll.

Lisa:
Another load down,
so that's two.

That's good.
one down, many to go.

Narrator:
Next time
on "Ice Road Truckers"...

This is the heaviest load

that we've ever moved
across the ice.

Wow.

Narrator:
The companies go for broke.

Lisa:
It's actually really scary.

Narrator:
Tackling the steepest hills...

Lisa:
Wahoo! [Loud crush]

Narrator:
The worst roads...

The road is rough as sááá!

Whoa, baby!
Whoa, baby! Whoa, baby!

Narrator:
And the biggest haul ever...

Come on, baby,
hold together.

Narrator:
On the ice.

Nobody was supposed to be
on this ice crossing.

What happened to the block
in the road?!
