Wow, what a mess! This time on Heavy Rescue 401...

It's a big hole.

..a leaking trailer... That's a problem.

Let's make a wall beside these guys!

..spurs on the OPP. Come on, guys! Hurry up!

Kevin races...

OK. ..to keep a promise.

Adam, get that line tight!

..and a beat-up semi...

Now comes the fun part.

..beats up...

Hey, nobody move!

..a new team. Hey, whoa, whoa!

An hour before sunrise...

..traffic around Toronto is still light, and moving well.

But on the 401, trouble can erupt...

..in an instant.

(SIREN)

We just got a call for a multi-vehicle collision

Highway 401 eastbound.

Sergeant Kerry Schmidt answers the call

50 miles to the east, in Newcastle.

This collision appears to be three commercial vehicles.

We have one confirmed fatality.

A tragic situation we're dealing with here right now,

and a major scene.

401 eastbound is blocked at Mill Street,

and this is just as the morning commuters

are heading out and heading into the city.

The detour routes just don't have the capacity

to accommodate that kind of traffic volume.

As Kerry approaches...

Orillia, five, tango, zero, zero, seven, you can mark me on scene.

..daylight reveals the full picture.

Several tractor trailers involved,

so expect this to be ongoing for quite some time.

Good area to avoid, if you can.

The tanker and box truck collided,

forcing the semi to jack-knife into the ditch.

All traffic's getting forced off.

The scene covers the entire highway.

Wow, what a mess!

But clearing the scene will have to wait.

Trying to get to the scene.

We have witnesses on scene as well.

This is a big collision, a big wreck, and sadly,

it ended up as a fatality as well.

The first thing I want to kinda figure out is

where this collision occurred.

Yeah.

So, collision reconstructionists need to piece together

exactly what happened.

You want to collect the information to be able to have the answers

that the families are gonna be so desperate to have.

Whether it was on the shoulder or whether it was in the live lane.

We only have one opportunity to collect this evidence,

right then and there, before the vehicles are moved.

And with two semis and a smaller truck involved,

the damage and debris they need to analyse is extensive.

So that box...was actually mounted to the chassis?

The box was on... Correct.

I've never seen a box like that come right off the chassis

and stay with the, uh...

No. ..the vehicle.

Not only is there damage to the front end

from colliding into the delivery truck,

we also have damage to the trailer,

which is now leaking pelletised product inside that trailer,

which is now spilling out onto the highway.

This is like plastic pellets?

Yeah, that's my understanding what it is.

Officers that are there are working as quickly as they can

to collect this evidence...

Oh, wow!

..but it's gonna take some time.

On North America's busiest highway, closure is not an option.

Your travels on the 401 near Newcastle

could be very complicated for the next little while.

Of course we'll keep you posted on when any lanes reopen.

With all eastbound lanes shut down...

We're heading down to have a look at the accident scene

and see what's gonna be required to do the clean-up.

..Bill and Mitch Wright of B&G Towing inch their way up the shoulder,

and get their first look.

That is nasty.

Wow! Geez!

Oh, the cab of that truck is absolutely mangled.

There's nothing left of it.

They'll be joining forces with veteran op John Allen from Abrams.

Pretty messy wreck, you know?

The one truck's all destroyed, the box is ripped right off.

So, you know, quite the impact.

And reconstructionists have now collected all the information

they can to start figuring out just how it happened.

The investigators have documented the critical evidence that needs

to be done before vehicles are moved.

Take one of John's chains.

I'd go right around that leaf spring.

Time to clear this road.

We gotta open the highway.

We gotta get this highway open as quick as possible.

OK, right there? Yeah, right around the frame.

So, the two companies will split up the scene.

Alright, that's snug.

We're going to back the 35-ton in,

and get the little cab and chassis out of the way.

We gotta move it so John can get access to the Steinman truck

and get it outta here.

It's pretty ugly.

Pick 'er up, Russ.

We got her.

As one member of Bill's crew hauls off what's left of the box truck...

Do you want to go and have a look at that?

..Mitch needs to size up the biggest challenge on this scene.

The tanker-trailer has a breach. It's leaking under the back.

Until they can deal with the leak, they can't move the truck.

It's just little plastic pellets.

I don't even know exactly what the use is for.

It looks like snow, though.

They seemed very light.

In large quantities, they're very, very heavy.

The load itself is in excess of 70,000 pounds.

Yeah, we got a hole down in here.

We're gonna either have to get this hole plugged up,

or we're gonna have to offload this load.

If we have to offload this,

we're gonna be here a very long time.

We just gotta get a rag stuffed up in this hole here.

That looks like it stopped the leak.

One rag did her! OK.

There's a hole about this big.

As far as we're concerned, we've got it patched.

Oh, perfect.

I'm gonna get this out up on the shoulder and drag it over here.

On the south side of the road,

John's rigged up and ready to pull out the jack-knife.

It's a pretty simple job.

You know, we want to be quick, efficient,

everything hooked up,

everything cleaned up and out of here as quick as we can

to get this highway reopened. This is our major artery.

The quicker I can get up outta the way, the better.

Push the box off the front of that truck if you can, please.

Across the highway, Bill and Mitch have wrangled the box free from

the tanker where it was embedded, but it's revealed severe damage...

Fifth wheel assembly that hooks the truck to the trailer

is entirely ripped off the frame.

We're gonna have to get the trailer elevated to get the truck out.

..and as they elevate the tanker...

And it's leaking like a sieve right now.

You got a big breach back there. No, I don't think so.

No, I think it's just coming out as we take some weight off of it.

I could be wrong.

I walk around the other side of the tanker,

just to have a quick look...

Oh.

We got a way bigger leak than we thought.

Oh, God!

A couple rags ain't gonna fill that one.

..there's a second leak, and it's much worse.

That's a problem.

We got a breach about this big. Where?

The other side. Let's have a look.

This is not what we needed.

Unloading the entire trailer due to a hole

is going to increase the recovery time for several hours.

OK. It's not small.

Under the truck on the other side above the frame?

Yeah. This long.

Well, now we have a complication.

We thought we had just the one hole on the trailer...

Can you fix it? That wide.

You can't patch it. We thought you were patched up.

When you give the OPP an ETA to get the highway cleared up,

you try to stand by that,

so to have to go back up to the OPP and explain to them

that the job's gonna take longer... OK.

..it sucks, but unfortunately, it's what we have to do.

Can we go up and in with plywood and twist it?

I'm gonna try something.

I'm going to screw around with it right now...

We've gotta get the second hole plugged

in order to move the trailer.

We said... We thought you were now gonna drag it off the highway.

We were going to do the offload off the highways,

so, like, can you find...

Yeah, we can get some ratchet straps, plywood, we'll do something.

Yeah. Yeah, just strap it up.

So, none of this would fit?

I don't think so, no, 'cause it's such an awkward shaped hole.

You gotta kinda just be quick, and think on your toes,

and try to figure out different ways to make things work.

We're gonna get a piece of this curtain cut open,

and we're gonna actually use it to try to fix the breach

that we have in the side of the trailer, and then close

that hole up temporarily.

Kinda doing with what we got right now.

We gotta get the highway opened up.

As fast as you can move it, it comes out.

What is that right there?

That piece hanging down, that's not a tear, is it?

I can fit my whole (BLEEP) arm in there. It's a big hole. I can't...

I don't even think I'm gonna get anything jammed up in there.

We're starting to get some impatient people here.

We've got to get this done. There's no way to patch it.

The more I keep screwing with it, the more it's coming out.

It's just gonna make a bigger mess.

As fast as you can move it, it comes out.

On the 401 east of Toronto... It's a big hole.

..Bill and Mitch Wright are facing a leak too big to contain.

That's a big hole. Oh, yeah.

I don't even think I'm gonna get anything jammed up in there.

Did you get that patched? There's no way to patch it.

We have to transfer it off.

Unfortunately, we're gonna have to unload the product.

You have to... OK. Yeah.

So, we need a vacuum truck here now.

It's leaking out, and we can't drag it down the highway.

But an offload will cost them hours.

The road's been closed for a long time. We've got massive backups.

You know, there's a ton of pressure to get the highway opened up.

So, while they wait for the vacuum truck...

Can you get the MTO to start working on a taper?

If we can open up one lane here, we'll get some traffic flowing.

..Kerry needs to let some traffic through.

Right now all the traffic is getting forced off onto a side road,

and the roads are absolutely jammed.

When we find these complications,

it's frustrating to know that this is gonna take even longer.

We want to get the traffic moving.

If the police and maintenance crew can create a rolling block,

using their own vehicles to lead traffic and limit the speed,

they can merge it into a single open lane...

One lane will be open,

and that will at least alleviate some of the pressure,

and allow traffic to start getting through the scene.

..and the offload itself can finally begin.

We got the truck and trailer showing up now

that we're gonna offload this unit into.

It's got a big vac hose we're going to drop in the top,

so we're gonna get him pulled in here nice and tight,

and then I'm gonna get up on there,

and feed the tube down through the hole.

Get up there. Yep.

Take it down to the front, 'cause he's gotta do the front compartment.

OK, we're into the product now. Yeah.

Is that as fast as that'll come?

Pick it up, and I'll straighten it.

OK, one sec...

You put it too deep, it plugs.

You don't go deep enough, it doesn't suck, so constantly working it.

We have a four-inch hose, and we've got 70,000 pounds of little beads,

so it's a slow process.

We're gonna be rolling up ahead shortly soon.

OK, 10-4 on that.

Let's just make a wall beside these guys all together, one big wall.

As the offload starts,

Kerry and the maintenance crew are ready to get traffic rolling.

Let's go.

We're gonna just keep the traffic back

just a couple hundred metres until you guys get established.

They need to slowly and safely funnel

three lanes of stuck traffic into one open lane.

The last thing we want is for people to take chances and take risks,

and put people's lives in jeopardy.

You can see all the traffic rolling in behind us now.

We're going to move all the traffic up to the collision scene,

where we still have two left lanes blocked,

but at least we'll have one lane open.

There goes the traffic!

The move will relieve some of the backup,

but it comes with a price...

It takes some pressure off to let some of the cars go through

and get things moving,

but now we have live traffic going through a scene where we're working,

so, you know, now the danger aspect goes up.

We're gonna be sucking for a while.

..and soon tens of thousands of drivers

will start flooding out of the city.

We're gonna have to unload this as fast as we can.

90 miles northwest...

..a rollover is choking Highway 11 down to a single northbound lane.

Tractor-trailer was southbound on Highway 11.

For an unknown reason, the driver lost control,

and it ended up on its side in the ditch.

We could be closed for another six hours.

The southbound semi ploughed through the median into the opposite lanes,

across oncoming traffic,

before it smashed through the guardrail into a farmer's field.

I got my work boots on.

I'm just waiting for him first.

And Classic Towing's rotator is on scene to get it back on the road.

He's gonna make the first major pull right now.

And this winter, Phil Barron is taking over the controls.

OK, cool.

That's lots, man.

I've been working for Classic for probably the last three years.

Before that, Metro for a year,

and before that, Abrams for seven years.

That's about it. I love my job.

This year, he's moved up to Classic's 75-ton flagship,

the most powerful rotator in southern Ontario...

The truck that I'm in now is James Ireland's old truck,

and then he left to open his own business,

and then Bubba drove it, and then he decided to move on,

so I "graduated" into it, I guess you want to say,

and I've been having a lot of fun with it.

Try to be careful.

..but the senior role is a major responsibility.

There is pressure when you get into a rotator.

The truck's more expensive,

and if you do something wrong when you're lifting something heavy,

there's all kinds of ways to damage the vehicle.

I can pull the back a little bit more and see what it does.

Today, the 75-ton is in for maintenance,

so Phil's working with Classic's smaller 60-ton.

We'll give it a shot. Yeah.

He's joined Tyler Woll and Pat Luck from Lucky's Towing.

It's the two crews' first time working tandem on a recovery.

We need to work together.

We need to stay on the same page.

He's gotta watch me just as much as I've gotta watch him.

He says go ahead.

OK, he's going.

Their first step...

Just pulling the semi away from the trees to assess the damage.

How's it looking now, Pat?

We still got two trees up right into it, Tyler.

Can you pull this front around some more?

If the trailer's intact,

they can upright it loaded, shaving hours off the closure.

OK, how's that?

I think we can work with that. How's that roof looking?

Not good. It's not the news they wanted.

She's ripped wide open.

Oh, yeah. Once we pulled it back from the trees,

we saw there was an awful lot of damage to the side of the trailer.

I don't know if we're gonna get it upright.

Try and stand it? See what happens?

Yeah. If it's loaded, it's a real risk.

You can have a lot of problems if you try to pull it upright.

The trailer can snap in half.

Just grab me that chain.

That eight-footer? That eight-footer, yeah.

With 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of cargo,

Phil is willing to take a chance.

We're gonna try to stand it up in the ditch here now.

I'm coming off the rim up here as high as I can get.

There we go.

I don't know what it's gonna do,

so I just wanna make sure the trailer doesn't twist...

Oh, yeah. ..or have a problem.

We'll do our best to get it up all in one piece.

If you twist it too much, you'll just rip it the rest of the way.

Yeah, you can start going.

We're good.

OK, you're clear of the tree now, you're good.

Keep going, keep going.

I pretty much am rolling it with this.

So just keep a little tension to it.

Yeah.

Moment of truth.

It'll be an offload if we make a mistake.

Keep coming, guys. Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming.

Yeah, I'm still going.

Don't stop, whatever the hell youse do, keep going.

Keep going... Almost there.

Keep going.

Keep going.

You should be just about there, boys and girls. Whoa!

Hey, whoa, whoa! Ease up.

Ease up? Alright, mine's coming. I'm loose.

And the trailer broke in two.

Son of a gun!

Keep coming, keep coming...

Yeah, I'm still going.

On Highway 11, north of Barrie...

Ease up. Ease up?

..the crew is gambling to save time. Keep going.

You should be just about there, boys and girls.

Yeah, alright mine's coming, I'm loose.

And the trailer broke in two. Son of a gun!

The pull was just too much for the trailer.

The whole side's gone. Really bad.

We don't wanna pull it any further, because we'll just pull it apart.

We're gonna offload it.

We don't have a choice.

It's a steep embankment,

the trailer is severely compromised,

and we don't wanna take the chance.

We're going to get another trailer here,

and we're just gonna offload it.

The quicker, the better.

The offload will add hours to the job...

..hours of frustration for northbound drivers.

The road's been closed since about 9am this morning,

and we perceive it to be closed for another three hours, approximately.

Obviously we have a lot of traffic now on our side streets

that isn't helping, but it's all we can do at this point.

80 miles south...

..there's more trouble on the QEW in Oakville.

Come on, guys! Hurry up!

Kevin Richardson's day was supposed to be over.

He was on his way to deliver a surprise for his son's birthday.

Purchased a used car from just a tow company I know.

My son just turned 19. He just got his driver's licence.

He's a good kid, and I'm proud of him, and...

You got another ladder?

He gets a shot here.

But Kevin couldn't turn down a call this urgent.

We're right at rush hour.

You've got thousands of employees getting off.

It's high volume of truck and car traffic.

The truck, hauling a Sea Can loaded with juice,

flipped over just as it was merging onto the highway.

Cops are rushing us.

We were blocking lanes two and three, plus the on-ramp, so,

of course they're gonna be on you, "How long?" "Get it open."

Hurry up. I'm good to go.

With a full load in the container...

Kevin will need backup.

I just got here. We're just setting up for an upright.

Rookie rotator op Adam Barczak.

Working on the job with Kevin is pretty good because he will

explain what needs to be done to get the job accomplished.

Hey, Adam? I want you to catch off the lower line here.

We've done a few recoveries together,

but he's still willing to learn.

I try to just take my time to walk him through it.

Get double snatch blocks, OK?

Smaller wrecker, he's gonna spike up the tractor.

Kevin's gonna upright the front end of the container,

and my truck will be at the back.

Adam will lift the back of the Sea Can, with Kevin on the front,

and a third wrecker on the tractor,

working in unison to roll and ease the semi down.

OK!

We needed everybody to be on the same page,

especially with the police pressuring you.

How did I get up here?

There's always a little bit of risk doing a recovery.

You got to make sure you have the proper rigging,

and there's always that concern in the back of your mind.

It's all a new crew, so we work together, and we're trying,

man, we're trying.

You guys good? OK!

With a new rotator op and a new team,

it's up to Kevin

to make sure all three operators coordinate their move.

OK, guys, hold on, let me catch up.

Let me boom down. Hang on, guys.

OK. OK, go ahead.

Just try to work in sequence with each other, nice and smooth.

That way, nobody's getting ahead of each other.

OK! Get your catch line tight.

Adam, get that line tight.

OK, I think we got it here, guys.

Can't beat that!

You know, some of us working together still,

takes time, right, but...

Yeah, we're tryin', we're tryin'. Not bad!

That was beautiful.

Pretty quick for a rollover,

so we'll be opening this highway momentarily.

That's it. I thought the job went well.

Now Kevin can get back to his family.

I have kids, I have family, so sometimes I think, you know,

maybe I should have had a suit job, but I love the job.

75 miles northeast, on the 401 in Newcastle...

How's that look?

..Mitch and Bill are finally nearing the end...

Looks good.

..of their gruelling hours-long offload.

Not that much longer before we can move it.

So, we'll get 'em all open shortly.

Well, yeah, that's what it's all about, right?

Excellent. Alright, have a good one.

Thanks, Kerry. Take care.

This is good news.

Finally, we have relief in sight.

We're good.

I gotta get hooked up to the tractor, and get it pulled out.

It's time to hook up and get this thing outta here.

We're gonna have to...

Chain fork it?

Yeah, but the problem is off of what? Not much left of it.

Just hooking up is more complicated than Mitch has planned.

The axle's destroyed. If you grab on that, there's nothing there.

Just go right in front of the spring.

Is yours broken?

Today seems like it's been one of those things.

It's kinda been like one problem after another, after another.

Spring's busted right off? This side, it is.

What a mess!

Just go right in front of the spring.

Is yours broken?

East of Toronto, it's been almost 12 hours since a triple crash

shut down the eastbound 401.

Springs busted right off? This side, it is.

With the afternoon rush building, the B&G crew has hit another delay.

We give the OPP an estimate to clear this.

Sometimes we're forced to, you know, put time limits on something

when we really don't have all of the facts in front of us.

What a mess!

There's no intact rigging points on the underside of the tractor.

Go if you can behind, uh...

Will it drop down in the hole?

Can you go behind here so it's kind of like a stopper?

So, Mitch is forced to improvise.

How about in here, through the frame rail?

OK, I'm gonna get that a little tighter, I think.

We got it up as high as we can.

That's fine.

Now all that's left is the tanker itself...

Oh, yeah, look at that.

..and it's tangled up in a tough spot.

Never in a million years.

We've got two issues with the tanker now that it's empty.

We've got the tailgate from the straight truck

is wedged between the wall and the rear duals of the tanker,

and the nose of the tanker is overhanging the wall

onto the westbound lanes.

It is so. Like, very good.

That's the problem, yeah.

We gotta figure out how to get it out of here.

Ah, we've got a mess.

We need the second wrecker.

But that's the rotator, already hooked up to tow away the tractor.

We're gonna have to winch the tanker off the wall,

and we've gotta get at it, and get it done.

So, Bill decides to multi-task.

Mitch, I want you to pull up... Yeah.

..and then back down beside the wreck.

To save time, they'll keep the tractor on the rotator's hook,

while it lifts the back of the trailer.

Saves him going down the road,

dropping the tractor and coming back.

You know, it's about getting the road open, right, so we, um,

try to be as creative as you can.

Mitch rigs to the rear while 50-ton operator Russ

sets up his underlift on the front.

Ready to go now.

Tighten 'er up.

Bring her about.

Keep coming.

OK, whoa!

OK. With the trailer ready to roll...

We got the trailer pulled off the wall. We're pinned up.

Pull 'er in.

..a scene that started before sunrise is almost at its end.

We can get off the road onto a safe shoulder

so we can get the highway cleaned up so they can open it.

Ten minutes, we'll be out of here.

There was stuff everywhere - multiple trucks,

multiple towing companies, a lot of police presence.

A bit of road stuff to clean up, some debris,

and then this highway should be opened back up.

It's been a stressful day, but we're getting the job done.

OK, guys. I'll talk to you guys later.

It feels extremely good to get this one wrapped up and heading for home.

It was a long day, it was difficult.

There was a lot of learning curves, a lot of unknowns.

However, in the end, we've come through.

It's been a long day, man.

It's time to go home.

There was a lot of stuff going on, and I think that, you know,

as a whole, we tackled each job,

and kinda got things done to the best of our abilities,

and got the highway opened up.

(TRUCK TOOTS)

Back up Highway 11, evening traffic has been hitting a wall.

They're just about ready to start to pull this out.

The two heavy crews have unloaded the remaining cargo.

OK! Now down.

Now they need to get the semi up the slope,

but even empty, it's in no shape to make the trip.

We're gonna cross-chain the underside of it,

try to get some structural strength back in it,

'cause it's not gonna survive.

I'm gonna cross-chain underneath the trailer

from the landing gear legs to the back bogie trails,

and we're gonna tighten those up.

The chains will help restore some of the trailer's structural integrity.

Unless it's cross-chained,

we'll probably end up pulling the trailer in half.

First... This'll be cool.

..they'll have to risk lifting the battered trailer

up from the muddy field.

Nice shot.

That'll get our strap over the other side.

Take that chain and go right across.

I'll just take it up nice and slow.

See what happens when we pull it up.

OK?

Yup, going up!

No. Chain skipped.

Alright.

OK, there we go.

Now comes the fun part.

Getting the chains underneath.

It's time-consuming rigging...

Put the shackle through here.

..but the only hope for getting the trailer uphill intact.

Oh, that's the way. OK.

Oh, yeah, getting dirty.

All part of the job, right?

There we go.

Let it down and see what happens.

Hopefully it supports itself.

It'll be a little floppy, but it's gonna be better than it was.

Next is to get him to take the spreader bar away,

and then we're gonna start pullin' and prayin'.

The worst happens, the trailer will split apart.

We'll soon find out. Yeah.

The semi is so badly compromised,

the crew needs to ease it upward, gradually.

I'll sure be glad to see that trailer up here.

Yeah.

We don't want it to climb.

We want it to ride the ditch, and it's a steep graded ditch

that could put too much stress on the trailer,

and pull it apart just from the force

of trying to pull it up too soon.

Tyler will slowly pull the wreck backwards along the slope,

until Phil can use his boom to move it to the road.

OK, Tyler. Okey-dokey.

So I'm gonna start pulling.

We just have to do everything in little tiny increments

and try not to stress that out too bad.

Come on, roll!

Yeah, she's rolling. OK.

If the semi starts to tip, the stress could be too much.

They need to keep all wheels on the ground, all the way up.

You're pulling at a nice pace. Don't say it too early, man.

There's a lot of distance between us

and where that trailer needs to be.

Just a little bit at a time.

We want it to keep riding the ditch like it's been doing.

We've got air underneath the rear tyre.

Hold it! Hold it!

Just a little bit at a time.

We want it to keep riding the ditch like it's been doing.

We've got air underneath the rear tyre.

Hold it! Hold it!

Back off for a sec.

On the edge of Highway 11,

the broken trailer is starting to lean off the bank.

Might want to do the V chain now.

The crew needs it to roll straight to avoid tearing it in two.

Time for Phil to step in with the rotator.

I'm gonna move ahead, throw a strap over to the rear of the trailer.

Now it should come.

You're hooked on, right?

Alright, you're starting to pick it. OK, we're gonna start pulling.

Yeah, I'll come with you.

For the final stretch up to the highway,

Phil and Tyler need to pull as one.

It's important that we bring everything up the bank in one piece,

at the same time, so we have to match our winch speeds.

My winches are a lot faster than his are.

OK, stop. Stop for a sec? It's moving?

Yes, come on, quick!

Pat, I gotta work in sync with him.

Yeah, I know. He's holding it.

I'm trying to match

my speed with Phil by speeding up, and he's trying to slow down.

When you get too much pull from one of us,

that can change the whole game.

I'm just watching the trailer buckle on this side.

Make sure you're not twisting the trailer too much,

because you don't wanna aggravate

that big wound in the side and the roof.

(CRUNCH)

OK, hold on, hold on, hold on.

This crack has opened up a little bit.

I'm afraid that this thing is gonna split in two

before we get it to the top of the hill.

We can't be too much longer. That crack is starting to open.

Right down there. Where his ripped seam is.

The bottom rail's starting to open.

They need to keep going.

Once you start to pull, you don't wanna stop.

That's where things can really go bad.

Even if it starts to come apart, we're gonna put it here.

Anything can happen.

It can go wrong, and when it goes wrong,

it usually goes wrong really quickly.

Just bring 'er up.

The tractor's coming off the ground.

We'll get the rubber up on the ground here.

Come on, quick.

Just a tyre. OK, keep going.

Yeah, I got about five feet.

About a foot.

Set the trailer brakes for a second, and we'll move 'em!

So far we've been lucky,

so we're just gonna push the envelope a little bit.

We wanna get the tractor tandems up on the road.

We're actually gonna lift the entire tractor

and the front of the trailer up, still joined.

I'm gonna get as close as I can to the edge here,

reach all the way out,

and then I'll just rotate it as he brings it out a little bit more.

If he pulls one way a little too much,

and I pull another way, no communication...

The trailer will split apart.

Gotta start winching it back. Yeah.

And Phil is still reaching further off the side than he'd like.

I just keep an eye on my outriggers,

because if they come up to a certain point,

in an instant, you can pull your whole truck over.

If the trailer rips in half, it rips in half. I fully expect it to.

OK, whoa! Hey, nobody move!

Hey, whoa! Whoa!

OK, hold on. Hold on. Phil?

Any time you're pulling anything up a bank, anything can go wrong.

My worst nightmare is pulling something and having it flip on me.

This is where you gotta take it up, right?

Lift the whole thing up in the air.

Now you gotta go straight up. Yeah.

He's right at the cusp.

Point of no return.

Once we get the tractor wheels up there, I'm gonna feel a lot better.

You're up! OK!

Pull 'er back, yeah.

Two feet to touchdown.

That's it. Touchdown. Good.

Poor old thing, look at it.

It just got destroyed.

It surprised me that it stayed in one piece.

I had my serious doubts about it.

It's one of those things that could have went very bad,

but no, it went really well.

There you are. Yeah, that was awesome!

We made it. You gotta like it when a plan comes together.

Phil was great.

He's got a lot more experience than me,

so I definitely learned a lot from him,

and I will definitely take his ideas

and the way he did things further on.

You can teach an old dog new tricks.

We took a few risks, and they paid off. The police are all happy.

Everybody's happy.

And Classic's legacy is in good hands.

I love my job, and I'll do the job,

and I don't care what it takes to get it done.

(TOOT)

On the western tip of Lake Ontario in Niagara...

Is that your big brother? Eh?

Kevin's cleaned up, and he's made it to his son's birthday.

Show Dillon your pizza.

Pizza!

Eh? There you go!

Two years ago, Kevin started his second phase of fatherhood.

There he is. Hi.

Here, Dillon! Thank you!

But today he's planned a surprise for Dillon.

He's actually my first boy, then Brenton...

It's just I'm proud of him.

He's a good kid. He works hard.

I told him that I had to move some old furniture,

so I said, "I need your help."

I hope you like it. That's it.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

He was pretty shocked when I opened the garage,

and he seen the balloons on the mirror.

It was just... It was a proud moment for me.

I'm proud of you, and, uh, yeah, I love ya. Congratulations.

Thank you. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

I'm having a moment here, man!

I hope he likes it, and... Enjoy.

There you go.

Any problems, you call me. Yeah, yeah.

I might know a tow company that can tow this if you ever break down.

Just kidding.
