650 00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:01,711 That's quite a bit of weight to be pulling out of that ditch. 651 00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:05,131 I think we take the nose and turn it... 652 00:32:05,131 -->

shouldn't 662 00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:29,821 or not paying attention, 663 00:32:29,821 --> 00:32:30,865 that could pretty much 664 00:32:30,865 --> 00:32:32,991 potentially end your career right there. 665 00:32:34,035 --> 00:32:34,951 Slow it down. 666 00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,044 In the Fraser Valley... 667 00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:46,756 Slow it down! 668 00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:50,093 ...speeding

the B-train. 677 00:33:20,248 --> 00:33:21,582 I feel it's a lot simpler 678 00:33:21,582 --> 00:33:23,667 if we just leave it all as one piece, 679 00:33:23,667 --> 00:33:25,252 and it is free

00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:57,451 while lines from the 50-tonne 690 00:33:57,451 --> 00:34:00,913 will pull the tractor on a sharp angle 691 00:34:00,913 --> 00:34:03,458 to avoid the steepening slope. 692 00:34:05,876 --> 00:34:07,252 He actually went in 693 00:34:07,252 --> 00:34:09,672 on one of the lesser ditches. 694 00:34:09,672 --> 00:34:11,132 It's not as sharp 695 00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:13,050 as if we were to go down another 80 feet. 696 00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:15,762 Lines from Truck 90... 697 00:34:17,387 --> 00:34:21,224 are rigged to the tractor's tow pins. 698 00:34:21,224

are designed for pulling trucks forward. 715 00:35:01,056 --> 00:35:04,059 Pulling hard like we are on almost 90 degrees is... 716 00:35:04,059 --> 00:35:05,728 definitely can put a lot of strain on

00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,788 But now... 737 00:36:05,788 --> 00:36:08,456 Let it down. 738 00:36:08,456 --> 00:36:11,376 ...the 90-foot B-train 739 00:36:11,376 --> 00:36:15,672 must be coaxed into the granny lane. 740 00:36:15,672 --> 00:36:16,882 The front of the tractor has to come out 741 00:36:16,882 --> 00:36:19,844 on, like, a 10, 20-degree angle. 742 00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:23,639 So just turn ever so slightly to the right. 743 00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:26,141 We're only gonna go five, 10 feet. 744 00:36:26,141 --> 00:36:27,393 Slow and steady wins the race. 745 00:36:28,643 --> 00:36:30,438 Okay, jump in there, Ben. 746 00:36:31,563 --> 00:36:37,320 A swamper climbs into the tractor to steer... 747 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,197 Boom up, Jayd! 748 00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:42,449 ...and the team can shift their focus... 749 00:36:42,449 --> 00:36:46,621 We don't want to break them walls on the other side. 750 00:36:46,621 --> 00:36:50,373 ...to the trailers tilting towards the ditch. 751 00:36:51,291 --> 00:36:52,460 The biggest thing I'm looking at right now 752 00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:54,336 as we're pulling on this thing... 753 00:36:55,545 --> 00:36:58,840 is making sure this load isn't gonna shift 754 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,135 to the point where those walls are gonna fail. 755 00:37:02,135 --> 00:37:03,596 A lot of torque on the axle. 756 00:37:06,056 --> 00:37:09,936 As pressure builds on the back wall... 757 00:37:09,936 --> 00:37:11,311 It's not liking life. 758 00:37:11,311 --> 00:37:14,523 ...a crack is opening up. 759 00:37:14,523 --> 00:37:15,900 With it leaning, 760 00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,108 this wall could blow out, 761 00:37:17,108 --> 00:37:19,570 and then we end up losing this guy's load of wheat, 762 00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:21,655 and all his money is now laying in the ditch. 763 00:37:22,864 --> 00:37:24,074 But then... 764 00:37:24,074 --> 00:37:26,577 That's a big berm of dirt there, boys. 765 00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:30,373 ...Merv notices an even bigger problem. 766 00:37:30,373 --> 00:37:32,583 The passenger stiff leg for the trailer 767 00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:35,085 is actually burrowing underneath the roadway. 768 00:37:35,085 --> 00:37:37,630 Starting to catch dirt on that landing leg. 769 00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:38,880 If we don't address this problem, 770 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,340 we're definitely going to be doing damage to the road 771 00:37:40,340 --> 00:37:41,342 and to the customer's trailer. 772 00:37:43,677 --> 00:37:45,012 We gotta dig out that other leg, 773 00:37:45,012 --> 00:37:46,222 or we're gonna rip it off. 774 00:37:52,811 --> 00:37:54,730 On Highway 1... 775 00:37:57,023 --> 00:37:59,025 ...in the Fraser Valley... 776 00:37:59,025 --> 00:38:00,360 Brakes. 777 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,364 ...a massive B-train tilting into the ditch... 778 00:38:04,364 --> 00:38:06,074 That's a ball of earth. 779 00:38:06,074 --> 00:38:08,034 ...has Team Aggressive... 780 00:38:08,034 --> 00:38:09,661 We gotta dig out that other leg, 781 00:38:09,661 --> 00:38:11,664 or we're gonna rip it off. 782 00:38:11,664 --> 00:38:14,500 ...digging deep. 783 00:38:17,210 --> 00:38:19,255 It's into the pavement. 784 00:38:19,255 --> 00:38:20,547 It's literally that much 785 00:38:20,547 --> 00:38:22,257 until it's up and over. 786 00:38:22,257 --> 00:38:25,094 We'll put one there, and I'll pull this way. 787 00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:26,344 It'll lift the tension off that leg, hopefully... 788 00:38:26,344 --> 00:38:27,679 Yeah, yeah. 789 00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:29,264 ...and then Jaydan can get it up on the asphalt. 790 00:38:30,932 --> 00:38:34,228 Lines from the rotator are rerigged... 791 00:38:35,521 --> 00:38:38,940 to lift on the passenger side. 792 00:38:38,940 --> 00:38:41,027 Chains to the frame rails on the trailer, 793 00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:43,403 run 'em underneath. 794 00:38:44,487 --> 00:38:46,657 It's free-spooled. 795 00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:49,577 I gotta run a strap over top of the trailer. 796 00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:50,911 We're just looking to support it, 797 00:38:50,911 --> 00:38:53,706 give it a little bit more lift on its downward side. 798 00:38:53,706 --> 00:38:56,125 He's hooked on. 799 00:38:56,125 --> 00:38:58,376 I'm a little nervous about that wall 800 00:38:58,376 --> 00:39:00,463 actually letting go on that side, 801 00:39:00,463 --> 00:39:01,880 so this will also help with that. 802 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,382 It'll hold it, right? 803 00:39:07,219 --> 00:39:08,929 Happy? 804 00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:11,681 With additional support from the strap... 805 00:39:11,681 --> 00:39:12,641 Fingers crossed. 806 00:39:12,641 --> 00:39:14,976 ...they pull again. 807 00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:19,606 Even if it's just skimming it, it's okay. 808 00:39:19,606 --> 00:39:21,025 Clear? 809 00:39:22,902 --> 00:39:24,235 Oh, yeah. 810 00:39:24,235 --> 00:39:26,112 She's rolling. 811 00:39:26,112 --> 00:39:29,407 That wall don't look very happy. 812 00:39:29,407 --> 00:39:31,494 I got a little bit more to go here. 813 00:39:31,494 --> 00:39:33,621 There's still a chance I can blow the wall out. 814 00:39:33,621 --> 00:39:35,164 Keep going. 815 00:39:35,164 --> 00:39:37,625 Having Merv's rotator here, 816 00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:39,668 he's got four winches on his main boom, 817 00:39:39,668 --> 00:39:41,920 so we've got a couple different spots 818 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:42,880 we can pull off of. 819 00:39:45,215 --> 00:39:46,675 We're looking pretty good now. 820 00:39:46,675 --> 00:39:48,719 Our new rigging setup 821 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,972 saved the landing gear... 822 00:39:51,972 --> 00:39:52,931 and the road. 823 00:39:52,931 --> 00:39:55,684 Pretty much back up on the road, so... 824 00:39:56,684 --> 00:39:57,644 We could probably unhook you, 825 00:39:57,644 --> 00:39:59,063 and we'll just put it in gear 826 00:39:59,063 --> 00:39:59,938 and drive it forward next. 827 00:40:03,275 --> 00:40:04,610 This is another one 828 00:40:04,610 --> 00:40:06,070 that went textbook perfect. 829 00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:07,405 Yay! 830 00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:08,822 The truck's outta the ditch. 831 00:40:08,822 --> 00:40:11,367 It's definitely a pretty good feeling, 832 00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,077 feeling accomplished. 833 00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:14,161 Oh, Jaydan's good, eh? 834 00:40:14,161 --> 00:40:16,621 We've moved him into our 50-tonne here, 835 00:40:16,621 --> 00:40:19,625 and he seems to be enjoying it and doing a good job. 836 00:40:19,625 --> 00:40:23,295 ...the B-train gets back on its way... 837 00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:25,630 I think we got a pretty good crew coming into this season. 838 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,717 Hopefully we get a couple of good storms, 839 00:40:28,717 --> 00:40:30,385 and stay busy throughout the winter. 840 00:40:30,385 --> 00:40:33,639 This is where we say "Whee-hoo!" 841 00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:35,974 ...and Team Aggressive... 842 00:40:37,684 --> 00:40:39,936 ...clear off the highway. 843 00:40:59,539 --> 00:41:01,791 The next morning... 844 00:41:03,668 --> 00:41:06,713 ...back in the foothills of the Rockies... 845 00:41:13,219 --> 00:41:14,346 We're gonna go 846 00:41:14,346 --> 00:41:15,931 and head out to the accident site again. 847 00:41:15,931 --> 00:41:17,974 You know, we had a bad night last night. 848 00:41:20,018 --> 00:41:23,438 This is a job you don't get every day. 849 00:41:26,942 --> 00:41:28,777 Last night... 850 00:41:30,028 --> 00:41:31,405 ...wrong information 851 00:41:31,405 --> 00:41:32,864 from the trucking company... 852 00:41:34,867 --> 00:41:38,954 ...caused a significant setback for Jamie. 853 00:41:38,954 --> 00:41:40,664 Unbelievable! 854 00:41:42,541 --> 00:41:44,376 Today's job is really 855 00:41:44,376 --> 00:41:46,628 just to get it ready for the unload. 856 00:41:46,628 --> 00:41:50,925 Now they have to pick up the pieces. 857 00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,844 The main goal here 858 00:41:54,844 --> 00:41:56,347 is to get the bogies out of there, 859 00:41:56,347 --> 00:41:58,389 clear a path to the underside of the trailer. 860 00:41:59,849 --> 00:42:01,851 I'm going to flip this over. 861 00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:05,688 It's in every recovery guy's DNA 862 00:42:05,688 --> 00:42:07,650 to want to recover things 863 00:42:07,650 --> 00:42:11,277 without doing any further damage to them. 864 00:42:11,277 --> 00:42:13,239 We take pride in recovering something. 865 00:42:14,907 --> 00:42:17,867 But this is a salvage job. 866 00:42:17,867 --> 00:42:20,161 We need to actually cut it so that we can get in 867 00:42:20,161 --> 00:42:20,996 and get the cargo. 868 00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:24,250 See, where it's hanging is right here. 869 00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:25,960 Everything has forces... 870 00:42:28,170 --> 00:42:30,505 ...and everything is moving a different way, 871 00:42:30,505 --> 00:42:31,547 and wants to go a different way. 872 00:42:31,547 --> 00:42:32,882 Cut that. 873 00:42:32,882 --> 00:42:35,135 I'll hold it. 874 00:42:35,135 --> 00:42:37,887 I feel like I'm in the belly of the beast. 875 00:42:37,887 --> 00:42:39,097 If you make the wrong decision, 876 00:42:39,097 --> 00:42:39,974 you make the wrong cut... 877 00:42:41,809 --> 00:42:42,768 ...somebody could get hurt. 878 00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:54,028 Jamie... 879 00:42:54,028 --> 00:42:57,574 is determined to get it done. 880 00:42:57,574 --> 00:42:59,534 There's a lot of work here. 881 00:42:59,534 --> 00:43:00,869 This is a big, big job, 882 00:43:00,869 --> 00:43:03,789 but you just don't give up. 883 00:43:06,791 --> 00:43:10,170 Next time on Highway Thru Hell... 884 00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:11,213 Unreal. 885 00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:12,922 ...in the belly of the beast... 886 00:43:12,922 --> 00:43:14,717 Getting really up close and personal. 887 00:43:15,884 --> 00:43:16,927 ...Jamie... 888 00:43:16,927 --> 00:43:18,344 Watch out! 889 00:43:18,344 --> 00:43:19,597 ...powers through. 890 00:43:19,597 --> 00:43:20,639 Somebody went for a ride. 891 00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:22,224 Aggressive... 892 00:43:22,224 --> 00:43:24,018 I'm so sorry, Bertha! 893 00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:25,603 ...sends big iron... 894 00:43:25,603 --> 00:43:27,396 That is a lot more truck than I thought. 895 00:43:27,396 --> 00:43:29,606 ...into the backcountry. 896 00:43:29,606 --> 00:43:30,481 Got 'er? 897 00:43:30,481 --> 00:43:31,817 ...and Quiring... 898 00:43:31,817 --> 00:43:32,900 It's a bad spot there. 899 00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:35,237 ...feels the squeeze. 900 00:43:35,237 --> 00:43:36,822 It's getting real tight.
