Yes, sir.

just a little bit.

25

Yeah, there you go.
Perfect.

What are we doing now?

33
00:01:51,502 --> 00:01:53,287
We had a client call us.

00:03:04,227 --> 00:03:06,228
to a bet with Lisa Kelly?

63
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:08,012
Who said I was thinking?

64
00:03:08,013 --> 00:03:09,580
Oh, let's throw a $100 bet down
to see who can run

65
00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:10,798
the most miles
this winter road.

66
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:13,061
Yeah-hah.

67
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:15,324
- You're going up north.
- OK.

68
00:03:15,325 --> 00:03:20,287
Quite up north,
lots of hills to climb,

69
00:03:20,374 --> 00:03:22,375
and at the bottom
of every single hill,

70
00:03:22,376 --> 00:03:24,115
there's a sharp turn.

71
00:03:24,116 --> 00:03:26,596
This load is quite important.

72
00:03:26,597 --> 00:03:28,729
There's a big push to get the
building materials in there.

73
00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:30,296
You're going to be quite heavy.

74
00:03:30,297 --> 00:03:32,515
You're at 43,000 pounds.

75
00:03:32,516 --> 00:03:34,125
Huh.

76
00:03:34,126 --> 00:03:35,388
So you're going to be
the heaviest truck that's

77
00:03:35,389 --> 00:03:37,520
gone in there this year,

78
00:03:37,521 --> 00:03:40,262
which will restrict you
to night travel only.

79
00:03:40,263 --> 00:03:42,046
So it's going to be challenging
for you to see the hills

80
00:03:42,047 --> 00:03:44,527
and gauge how big
of a drop it is.

81
00:03:44,528 --> 00:03:45,660
Yeah.

82
00:03:45,747 --> 00:03:47,574
It will be a doozy.

83
00:03:47,575 --> 00:03:49,010
So it's going to be
an adventure of a lifetime.

84
00:03:49,011 --> 00:03:50,665

traveling at night.

161

So I'm going to offer
this tobacco blessing

169
00:07:40,372 --> 00:07:44,028
to the creator, to the land,

170

<i>Offering tobacco makes
me feel good</i>

<i>because I'm giving something
back to the creator.</i>

175
00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:57,781
<i>It grounds me.
It centers me.</i>

176
00:07:57,868 --> 00:08:00,174
<i>It gives me a sense of hope.</i>

177
00:08:00,175 --> 00:08:02,481
That's what I need
out there sometimes.

178
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:05,484
Hopefully, they look
out for me out there.

179
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,529
This is going to be
one hell of a ride.

180
00:08:08,009 --> 00:08:09,139
The other thing is
try not to die too.

181

No, I can't safely stop here.

191
00:08:38,822 --> 00:08:40,519
This is a pretty narrow road.

192
00:08:43,261 --> 00:08:45,568
I really can't stop here.

193
00:08:45,655 --> 00:08:47,351

Holy crap, that's hot.

208
00:09:36,358 --> 00:09:39,708
I'm trying to get
the brakes to cool down.

209
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:42,145
And stinky.

210
00:09:42,146 --> 00:09:45,192
It's just not doing
very good here.

211
00:09:45,193 --> 00:09:48,543
Nobody likes
the smell of brakes.

212
00:09:49,719 --> 00:09:52,199
Whew.

213
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,201
There, it's cooling
down a little bit.

214
00:09:54,202 --> 00:09:55,419
Probably good
to get that one out

215
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:56,770
before it burst out in flames

216
00:09:56,857 --> 00:09:59,075
and burn the whole
trailer down.

217
00:09:59,076 --> 00:10:01,425
Yeah, it just must have
hung up or something.

218
00:10:01,426 --> 00:10:05,255
My guess is that that
brake's adjusted too tight,

219
00:10:05,256 --> 00:10:06,953
and I just got
to back it off some.

220
00:10:06,954 --> 00:10:08,955
I gotta grab a warmer
jacket and some tools

221
00:10:08,956 --> 00:10:10,913
so I can back
that off of there, but--

222
00:10:10,914 --> 00:10:13,437
oh, yeah, of course,
we have dangerous goods.

223
00:10:13,438 --> 00:10:15,570
Don't get too hot near
an open source of fire.

224
00:10:17,573 --> 00:10:19,052
Yeah all right,
let me see where

225
00:10:19,053 --> 00:10:21,315
the slack adjuster is here.

226
00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:23,317
<i>narrator: Lisa's trailer brakes

Oh, gosh.

228
00:10:26,016 --> 00:10:29,193

230
00:10:31,761 --> 00:10:33,414
I'm going to back that off.

231
00:10:33,415 --> 00:10:34,633
It doesn't need
to come back far.

232
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,504
Come on.

233
00:10:36,505 --> 00:10:38,593
<i>narrator: By tweaking
the slack adjuster,</i>

234

<i>Lisa's increasing the gap
between the shoes and the drum.</i>

235
00:10:41,728 --> 00:10:43,206
I need some leverage here.

236
00:10:54,566 --> 00:10:56,219
There we go.

237
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:59,222
OK, that should be enough.

238
00:10:59,223 --> 00:11:01,007

249

<i>Riley and Zach are both

15 kilometers an hour.

If you meet another loaded

It's when you don't hear

00:14:45,536 --> 00:14:48,408
<i>till you're up here.</i>

314
00:14:48,409 --> 00:14:49,888
<i>This is the real deal.</i>

315
00:14:53,457 --> 00:14:59,288
Just going across the last
about 100 yards of ice here,

316
00:14:59,289 --> 00:15:01,682
and we're going to be
rolling into the community

317
00:15:01,683 --> 00:15:04,337
of Fond du Lac.

318
00:15:04,338 --> 00:15:06,556
Atta boy, first trip
across the ice.

319
00:15:06,557 --> 00:15:08,646
That's awesome.

320
00:15:08,733 --> 00:15:10,604
So how was that?

321
00:15:10,605 --> 00:15:12,214
Well, we didn't fall through.

322
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:14,477
Yeah,
that's always a bonus.

323
00:15:14,478 --> 00:15:16,262
I imagine your brother's
pretty happy to see the shore.

324
00:15:16,263 --> 00:15:18,307
He was nervous.

325
00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:19,657
<i>Way to go, my boy.</i>

326
00:15:19,744 --> 00:15:21,441
<i>I'm proud of you.</i>

327
00:15:21,442 --> 00:15:22,791
You did awesome today.

328
00:15:22,878 --> 00:15:23,922
You didn't die.

329
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,228
You killed it, man.

330
00:15:25,315 --> 00:15:26,359
You killed it.
You survived.

331
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,708
Ha-ha.

332
00:15:27,709 --> 00:15:29,276
First crossing.

333
00:15:29,363 --> 00:15:30,712
<i>With my first trip
under my belt,</i>

334
00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:32,539
it was a huge confidence boost.

335
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:34,934
Oh, atta boy.

336
00:15:35,021 --> 00:15:38,197
I've always wanted the boys
to get the exposure on the ice,

337
00:15:38,198 --> 00:15:40,677
because that is a big part
of our business.

338
00:15:40,678 --> 00:15:42,114
<i>I've never been prouder.</i>

339
00:15:42,115 --> 00:15:43,115
I couldn't be happier.

340
00:15:43,116 --> 00:15:44,420
Let's make some tracks.

341
00:15:55,258 --> 00:15:56,432
Hey.

342
00:15:56,433 --> 00:15:57,956
Hey, Bill.
Good to see you.

343
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,609
Good to see you again.

344
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:01,481
I'm going to send
you up to Kasabonika.

345
00:16:01,482 --> 00:16:03,657
The load going up there
is some building materials

346
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:05,311
for a job site.
- OK.

347
00:16:05,312 --> 00:16:07,226
I got to get this material
up there very quickly

348
00:16:07,227 --> 00:16:09,664
because there's
a screener in Kasabonika

349
00:16:09,751 --> 00:16:11,317
that I need to get
brought back.

350
00:16:11,318 --> 00:16:13,102
Critical that you get back
here in a timely fashion.

351
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:15,147
You will be heavy
on your way out,

352
00:16:15,148 --> 00:16:16,497
big piece of machinery.

353
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:17,801
But you're going
to be traveling

354
00:16:17,802 --> 00:16:21,109
the Asheweig Road--
lots of hills, turns,

355
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:23,677
bumpiness, one of the most
notorious roads.

356
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:25,287
I've been on it before.
I'm ready.

357
00:16:25,288 --> 00:16:27,420
Asheweig Road will tear
the absolute crap

358
00:16:27,421 --> 00:16:28,987
out of your body
and your truck.

359
00:16:30,554 --> 00:16:32,078
<i>It's a nasty road.</i>

360
00:16:40,477 --> 00:16:43,045
<i>narrator: Todd's battle with

<i>to the northern outpost
of Kasabonika.</i>

363
00:16:54,274 --> 00:16:55,839
So it looks
like the community

364
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,016
is definitely putting--
giving us a note up here.

365
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:59,627
They don't want any
chains on the road.

366
00:16:59,714 --> 00:17:02,237
That means they don't want
their ice road tore up.

367
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:04,065
They don't want their ice
crossings tore up.

368
00:17:04,066 --> 00:17:05,980
So we're going to follow
the rules, no chains.

369
00:17:11,856 --> 00:17:14,075
<i>This road is
my nemesis in a way.</i>

370
00:17:14,076 --> 00:17:16,991
<i>About seven years ago,
in my last season up here,</i>

371
00:17:16,992 --> 00:17:19,559
I was delivering
a load in on this road.

372
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,865
The road was the most
brutal road that I think

373
00:17:21,866 --> 00:17:23,955
I'd ever put a truck through.

374
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:25,914
Hold on!

375
00:17:27,698 --> 00:17:30,265
Oh!

376
00:17:30,266 --> 00:17:32,399
I hit a rock, and it's busted
a hole clean in my radiator.

377
00:17:36,098 --> 00:17:38,795
I can honestly say,
for the first  time,

378
00:17:38,796 --> 00:17:42,364
I've actually been
defeated on a  ice road.

379
00:17:42,365 --> 00:17:43,975
<i>I wasn't able to get
the truck out.</i>

380
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,847
<i>It didn't make it.</i>

381
00:17:45,977 --> 00:17:47,935
<i>So you know, this is kind of
like a redemption run, I guess.</i>

382
00:17:47,936 --> 00:17:51,287
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

383
00:17:51,374 --> 00:17:53,549
Whoo.

384
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:56,291
Trailer took
off on me right there.

385
00:17:56,292 --> 00:17:58,511
Oh, that was a little bad.

386
00:17:58,512 --> 00:18:01,209
Yeah, I was losing
control on that one.

387
00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:04,909
Son of a bitch, it's
going to be a nasty road.

388
00:18:04,996 --> 00:18:06,562
It's going to be
a long night,

389
00:18:06,563 --> 00:18:08,216
just a reminder of how brutal
this road could be

390
00:18:08,217 --> 00:18:09,522
at all times.

391
00:18:11,351 --> 00:18:13,265
Hang on.

392
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:14,789
Whoo-hoo.

393
00:18:14,876 --> 00:18:16,617
Gonna get a little bit bumpy.
Hang on.

399
00:18:33,242 --> 00:18:36,549
The road is breaking through
all over the freaking place.

400
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:38,464
Hold on, big bump, big bump.

406
00:19:01,662 --> 00:19:04,403
<i>The Asheweig Road

407
00:19:04,404 --> 00:19:07,798
<i>I went in with a truck before
and came out with no truck.</i>

408
00:19:07,885 --> 00:19:09,625
<i>That road is my nemesis road.</i>

00:19:09,626 --> 00:19:13,586
<i>I will fight and battle
until the bitter end.</i>

410
00:19:13,587 --> 00:19:16,023
You're driving
on 3, 4 feet of snow

411
00:19:16,024 --> 00:19:18,939
that's been packed down, and
when that all freezes up tight

412
00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:20,463
and it starts to break apart,

413
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:22,812
then you fall through
those broken spots.

414
00:19:22,813 --> 00:19:25,859
And they are like massive,
deep chuckholes.

415
00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:27,861
Once they suck your truck in,

416
00:19:27,862 --> 00:19:29,254
if you ain't got enough speed
to bring your front end

417
00:19:29,255 --> 00:19:31,125
up out of it, you're stuck.

418
00:19:33,868 --> 00:19:36,957
It looks pretty flat out there.

419
00:19:36,958 --> 00:19:38,741
That has got to be
an ice crossing.

420
00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:46,967
I'm not sure about this ice,
and I am by myself.

421
00:19:46,968 --> 00:19:48,664
Well, I don't want
to take a chance.

422
00:19:48,665 --> 00:19:50,318
So I'm going to go check it
out and see what I can see.

423

<i>narrator: Or an icy ambush.</i>

427
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:09,991
Solid ice, about 2 inches
of snow on the top.

428
00:20:10,078 --> 00:20:11,600
It's definitely a ice crossing.

<i>Night crossings are spooky.</i>

433
00:20:23,744 --> 00:20:25,484
<i>You can't see the ice.</i>

434
00:20:25,485 --> 00:20:27,094
Daytime, you can
see it a lot better.

435
00:20:27,095 --> 00:20:28,400
All I got is what I can
see with my headlights,

436
00:20:28,401 --> 00:20:29,836
and that's it.

437
00:20:29,837 --> 00:20:31,665
It is cold.

438
00:20:31,752 --> 00:20:32,970
My face is freezing, but I
ain't going to take a chance.

439
00:20:33,057 --> 00:20:34,275
I don't care.

440
00:20:34,276 --> 00:20:35,581
I want to hear what
the ice is doing.

441
00:20:39,977 --> 00:20:42,065
Can you hear that popping?

442
00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:44,111
A lot more spooky
out here by yourself

443
00:20:44,112 --> 00:20:46,722
in the middle of the night
and nobody else around.

444
00:20:46,723 --> 00:20:48,811
Makes a guy nervous.

445
00:20:48,812 --> 00:20:50,726
Because if something happens,
you are completely on your own.

446
00:20:56,603 --> 00:20:59,474
About 7 miles an hour,
15 kilometers an hour,

447
00:20:59,475 --> 00:21:01,215
and I can't see
the end of the ice yet.

448
00:21:01,216 --> 00:21:03,131
This is a way bigger crossing
than I expected.

449
00:21:09,050 --> 00:21:12,662
This looks like it might be
the other side right here.

450
00:21:12,749 --> 00:21:14,925
It always feels good
to roll on land off the ice.

451
00:21:15,012 --> 00:21:16,752
It gets that--
all of a sudden,

452
00:21:16,753 --> 00:21:19,755
you get that big relief of,
whew,

453
00:21:19,756 --> 00:21:21,236
one more ice crossing down, baby.

454
00:21:21,323 --> 00:21:22,410
Another one for the books.

Yep.

My window just fell
down in the door.

It's such a dingy window.

00:36:53,776 --> 00:36:55,474
If it fits on the trailer, it
doesn't matter anything else.

786
00:36:55,561 --> 00:36:57,126
She's movable.

787
00:36:57,127 --> 00:36:59,304
<i>narrator: He's hauling
back a massive and heavy</i>

788
00:36:59,391 --> 00:37:02,307
<i>piece of machinery
called a rock screener.</i>

789
00:37:02,394 --> 00:37:03,699
If it fits, it ships.

790
00:37:03,786 --> 00:37:06,484
Yep, fits, it's ships, absolutely.

791
00:37:06,485 --> 00:37:07,964
They've built a really
nice snow ramp over there

792
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:10,837
to load this machine.

793
00:37:10,924 --> 00:37:13,317
All right, do you
want to back down?

794
00:37:13,318 --> 00:37:14,840
You want to just
turn it around?

795
00:37:14,841 --> 00:37:16,494
The motor's
on the ass end of it

796
00:37:16,495 --> 00:37:18,496
with the big hopper
on the back.

797
00:37:18,497 --> 00:37:20,106
Just turning it around,
it's going

798
00:37:20,107 --> 00:37:22,022
to create a little bit more
weight onto the drivers

799
00:37:22,109 --> 00:37:23,327
on my truck, and that's going
to give me a little bit more

800
00:37:23,328 --> 00:37:25,285
traction on the ice roads.

801
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:27,331
<i>narrator: It's round three
with Asheweig Road,</i>

802
00:37:27,332 --> 00:37:30,508
<i>and the score is 1 to 1.</i>

803
00:37:30,509 --> 00:37:32,597
<i>The final run determines
the winner</i>

804
00:37:32,598 --> 00:37:34,773
<i>between the ice road trucker</i>

805
00:37:34,774 --> 00:37:37,516
<i>and the baddest road
in the northern wilderness.</i>

806
00:37:37,603 --> 00:37:39,257
One of the worst roads

807
00:37:39,344 --> 00:37:40,692
up in the Great White North
I've ever been on.

808
00:37:40,693 --> 00:37:42,476
Perfect!

809
00:37:42,477 --> 00:37:46,132
So I want this thing
as sturdy and bolted down,

810
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:48,962
as hard and as strong
as I could possibly get,

811
00:37:49,092 --> 00:37:51,877
<i>'cause Asheweig Road is--
it's a nasty road.</i>

812
00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:56,012
So right now, the score
is even on this road--

813
00:37:56,099 --> 00:37:58,231
1 for the road and 1 for me.

814
00:37:58,232 --> 00:38:01,061
Oh, .

815
00:38:01,148 --> 00:38:02,757
<i>She's going to be a rough one.</i>

816
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:18,773
<i>narrator: On the northern edge
of the world--</i>

817
00:38:18,774 --> 00:38:22,386
<i>Just arriving
at Lac Brochet.</i>

818
00:38:22,387 --> 00:38:25,041
<i>narrator: Lisa's delivering
her explosive cargo</i>

819
00:38:25,128 --> 00:38:27,608
<i>to Muskie Creek's
crucial new client.</i>

820
00:38:27,609 --> 00:38:30,307
Lac Brochet, it's
a new potential client.

821
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:33,048
This single load
can open up the door

822
00:38:33,049 --> 00:38:35,224
to a bunch of opportunities
for Muskie Creek.

823
00:38:35,225 --> 00:38:36,922
And I really want
to capitalize on it.

824
00:38:36,923 --> 00:38:38,011
OK.

825
00:38:39,491 --> 00:38:42,319
Whoo-hoo.

826
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,191
Gotta run for this
little hill here.

827
00:38:45,801 --> 00:38:47,628
I'm here!

828
00:38:47,629 --> 00:38:50,675
I can offload
and reload and leave.

829
00:38:50,676 --> 00:38:53,199
Whoo-hoo!

830
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,942
All my oil is tight still.

831
00:38:56,029 --> 00:38:57,856
None of them fell off.

832
00:38:57,857 --> 00:39:01,555
My waste, flammable,
liquid products survived.

833
00:39:01,556 --> 00:39:02,948
Good deal.

834
00:39:02,949 --> 00:39:05,733
I'm a happy camper.

835
00:39:05,734 --> 00:39:08,693
<i>Rowdy, you turned
over to 800,000 kilometers</i>

836
00:39:08,694 --> 00:39:10,347
<i>on this trip.</i>

837
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:12,740
Happy birthday to Rowdy.

838
00:39:12,741 --> 00:39:15,439
<i>I think I thought of a good
name for the truck.</i>

839
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,485
I've just been just pounding
it and jumping and bumping.

840
00:39:18,486 --> 00:39:20,835
And I kind of really
like the name Rowdy.

841
00:39:20,836 --> 00:39:24,535
So I think I'm going
to name the truck Rowdy.

842
00:39:24,536 --> 00:39:26,928
The way she acts is about
the equivalent of, like,

843
00:39:26,929 --> 00:39:29,236
a 75-year-old woman.

844
00:39:29,323 --> 00:39:30,628
This poor truck
is falling apart.

845
00:39:30,629 --> 00:39:32,107
It needs a new everything.

846
00:39:32,108 --> 00:39:33,761
I don't think I have heat.

847
00:39:33,762 --> 00:39:35,372
Now it's just stuck.

848
00:39:35,373 --> 00:39:37,375
Are you  serious?

849
00:39:37,462 --> 00:39:40,725
I'm trying to get
the brakes to cool down.

850
00:39:40,726 --> 00:39:42,640
Oh, I lost a body part.

851
00:39:42,641 --> 00:39:44,511
Oh, my hip.

852
00:39:46,732 --> 00:39:49,037
<i>This was a really good run
for the miles race,</i>

853
00:39:49,038 --> 00:39:50,648
<i>because this is one
of the longest roads.</i>

854
00:39:50,649 --> 00:39:52,738
I accomplished my goal.

855
00:39:52,825 --> 00:39:55,000
I should be able
to have dessert tonight.

856
00:39:55,001 --> 00:39:56,132
Cool.

857
00:39:56,219 --> 00:39:57,698
Get this unstrapped.

858
00:39:57,699 --> 00:40:00,614
<i>I hope Scooty Puff
is successful,</i>

859
00:40:00,615 --> 00:40:03,704
but I hope he's slower
and gets shorter runs.

860
00:40:06,447 --> 00:40:10,015
<i>narrator: At the end of a
slower run on a shorter road--</i>

861
00:40:10,016 --> 00:40:11,582
<i>Well, I finally arrived.</i>

862
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,978
<i>narrator: Scooter also
stacked up miles.</i>

863
00:40:16,979 --> 00:40:19,720
<i>I feel beat up, chewed up,
and spit out.</i>

864
00:40:19,721 --> 00:40:21,548
<i>narrator: And they
were hard earned.</i>

865
00:40:23,769 --> 00:40:25,988
Oh, no, no, no, no.

866
00:40:26,075 --> 00:40:27,337
Ah.

867
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,077
Oh, sliding, sliding.

868
00:40:29,078 --> 00:40:30,122
I'm done.

869
00:40:30,123 --> 00:40:31,384
Oh, come on, baby.

870
00:40:34,257 --> 00:40:36,521
We're heading to go
get offloaded.

871
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:38,609
<i>Keewaywin Road has been
the most challenging,</i>

872
00:40:38,610 --> 00:40:40,959
<i>pain-in-the-arse road
I've ever been on.</i>

873
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,832
<i>Mentally, physically,
and emotionally drained,</i>

874
00:40:43,919 --> 00:40:46,792
<i>I got the building material
here that the community needs.</i>

875
00:40:46,879 --> 00:40:49,315
<i>It stayed on, and it's
been hanging on like--</i>

876
00:40:49,316 --> 00:40:51,099
hey, it's been hanging on.

877
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,580
There's no words to describe.

878
00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:54,059
That shows you right there

879
00:40:54,060 --> 00:40:55,930
the infrastructure problems
they have.

880
00:40:55,931 --> 00:40:58,411
There's a home that's burnt.

881
00:40:58,412 --> 00:41:00,326
They need to replace that home.

882
00:41:00,327 --> 00:41:02,807
<i>People don't realize that
all these communities</i>

883
00:41:02,808 --> 00:41:05,724
depend on these supplies
to survive to the next year.

884
00:41:05,811 --> 00:41:07,464
I got your material.

885
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:08,683
The fun part is going
to be that cement.

886
00:41:08,770 --> 00:41:09,902
Oh.

887
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:12,557
Yeah, we'll
figure out a plan.

888
00:41:17,431 --> 00:41:19,258
All the material
got here safe,

891
00:41:23,350 --> 00:41:25,265
<i>And it's really
important that they get it</i>

892
00:41:25,352 --> 00:41:28,093
<i>so they can start building.</i>

893
00:41:28,094 --> 00:41:30,487
I noticed there's a house
burnt in the community there.

894
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:33,359
Yeah, this load will help
us out there, the community.

895
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,926
Well, that will
at least make some people

896
00:41:34,927 --> 00:41:36,362
happy to have a nice--

Yeah.

899
00:41:38,757 --> 00:41:40,540
This job is physically hard.

900
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:42,586
It's mentally hard, also.

901
00:41:42,587 --> 00:41:44,849
<i>So when you have successfully
delivered something</i>

Well, I appreciate
your help, man.

906

Thank you very much.

Yeah, I hope
to see you again.

908
00:41:54,903 --> 00:41:56,164
You'll be towing me out
of the snowbank eventually.

909

Have a good day.

910
00:41:58,341 --> 00:41:59,777

<i>I gotta conquer this road.</i>

915

<i>I don't like to lose.</i>

916
00:42:12,878 --> 00:42:15,532
Ah, the chain broke.

917
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,578
Brakes froze, 'cause
it's so stinking cold out here.

918
00:42:19,841 --> 00:42:21,189
.

919
00:42:21,190 --> 00:42:22,495
That was close.

920
00:42:22,496 --> 00:42:23,496
Oh, no.

921
00:42:23,497 --> 00:42:24,846
Ah!

922
00:42:24,933 --> 00:42:26,107
Come on!

923
00:42:26,108 --> 00:42:27,674
We lost our radio.

924
00:42:27,675 --> 00:42:29,154
It's not working.
It's dead.

925

I got a load on that
is right at the limit.

926
00:42:34,203 --> 00:42:35,377
Come on, baby.

927
00:42:35,378 --> 00:42:36,509
Hang in there.
