All language subtitles for Heavy Rescue 401 S05 E14_track3_[und]

It's solid rock.

DAVE PETTITT (NARRATES):
This time on Heavy Rescue 401.

Really?

Rocky wreck...

We're just worried about it rolling.

..rocky recovery.

It's gonna go over.

I gotta come up with some idea.

Adam faces...

Let it go slowly.

Oh, no, no!

..a downhill slide.

Don't touch the brakes!

Why is she being like this?

..and a hard-frozen fight...

We're gonna run
into a problem with that.

Whoa!

..hits the breaking point.

Give 'er!

Whoa!

It's been a smooth morning
on the highways around Toronto...

..but as the morning nears its end,

the weather is about to change.

Little bit of a different scenario
starting up

in and around Hamilton,
and to the north,

some snow squalls appear
to be showing up.

To the west,

frigid northern air
is blasting across Lake Huron...

..picking up moisture
that's fueling intense bands

of whiteout snow...

..snow that's blowing
straight toward the city.

(SIREN WAILS)

Yeah, 10-4,
thank you very much.

Sergeant Kerry Schmidt
is heading west

to a call just south of Guelph.

Transport truck in the ditch.

Highway 401 eastbound

between Highway 6 south
and Guelph line.

I know there's gonna be
many delays in that area,

and all the secondary roads
are gonna be overwhelmed.

Hopefully, we can get this highway
reopened completely very soon.

These snow squalls,
they can happen in an instant.

Drivers can go from completely dry,
blue-sky conditions,

to complete whiteout conditions
and zero visibility in a heartbeat.

If they're driving in a manner
which does not allow them to stop

and drive in control,
there could be a mess.

Wow. Down in the ditch.

Way deep in there.

This is gonna be quite the challenge
to get pulled outta here.

A transport truck lost control.

He got locked up in the mud.

Drivers going too fast,

and here we've got this cleanup
to deal with.

We've only got
the right lane blocked,

which is good,
but we still have traffic backed up

all the way to Cambridge.

If we can get the nose out?

Yeah, yeah, that's...
..then that way...

..we can start to come around...

Yeah, even if we get the back
of the trailer to my stiff leg.

It's been a fight right
from the start.

The heavy crew on scene
has wrestled the semi back

to the edge of the road...

OK! Tighten up on blue, Rob!

..but Classic Towing rotator op
Charles Coffrin can see

that the fight is far from over.

After three decades
in the business...

I can smell
the rubber burning a bit.

..Charles has played a big part

in some of Classic's
biggest recoveries.

Charles, slow down.

That's it, buddy, park it.

She's a white knuckle, buddy.

Holy crap, that was cool.

This winter, Charles made a leap
in his heavy recovery career.

I stepped up
into the rotator this year,

and I'm getting better every day
that I use the truck.

Today, Rob Bradshaw

and Edgar Startz are joining him
to fight resistance

that's only getting worse.

Yeah.

When we got here this morning,
the ground was hard,

but now the temperature's going up.

It's starting to turn
into a big mud bath down here.

We've just got a couple
different lines running here

to bring 'er up between my truck
and Edgar's truck.

OK, you ready, Rob?

Give 'er!

My plan is to bring this truck
back up the same path it went in.

We got about
25,000 pounds of chicken on.

We wanna keep it upright.

She doesn't even wanna budge.

This thing's gonna fight
right to the damn end.

It just keeps pulling him backwards.

He's just fighting.

Wow.

(THEME MUSIC)

On North America's busiest
highway...closure...

is not an option.

(THEME MUSIC)

Hold on.

With all the mud
and everything built up here

at the incline,
it's just pulling Rob's truck back.

Wrap an endless loop around there.

I'll run my line down to here.

The ground's getting softer,

and now we're worried about
this thing possibly going over.

Into here, like here.

They add a line
to try to hold the trailer upright

as it moves onto the road...

Snatch blocks going
onto the shackle there.

..but the next squall
is already on top of them.

Who ordered the snow?

We had complete whiteout.

It's right in my eyes.

That's a concern for me.

In the back of my mind,

I'm worrying
about the cars behind us.

Your head has to be
on a 360 swivel out here.

It makes you kinda want
to go a little quicker,

and sometimes
that's when mistakes happen.

Go!

With visibility getting worse,

Charles needs the final pull
to go smoothly and quickly.

Whoa.

I think we just lost
the hook on the front.

I held the trailer,

and Edgar was pulling
the front of the tractor,

and our pin snapped.

She's gonna be
a pig all the way out.

I'm under pressure from the OPP.

They want the highway opened,
and I can't get this thing to roll.

Why is she being like this?

Why?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

100mi east...

..skies and roads
are clear of snow...

..but Mitch Wright is answering
an urgent call on Highway 28.

We're headed to Port Hope,
about 20km north of the highway.

We've got a tractor-trailer
rolled over

with some pretty significant damage.

My dad's coming behind me,
and my brother Billy as well.

We're gonna get together
and make a plan.

Oh, we see some
flashing lights up here.

We got fire, police,
everybody's on scene,

and it is definitely rolled over.

That's gonna be
a tough one for sure.

Showing up to this wreck,
you could tell,

you know, this was a pretty
catastrophic crash.

Front axle's broken right off.

Tractor's absolutely destroyed.

It looks like
the crew's showing up here now.

Mitch's brother Billy and father,

Bill Senior,
get their own first look.

This is kind of ugly, eh?

Like, it's pretty mangled.

The front axle's pushed back
under the cab,

the wheels are flat,
the back axles are crooked...

A whole lot of damage.

The southbound semi lost control,

crossing the oncoming lane,

smashing into the ditch,

and slamming onto its side...

I just hope everybody's alright.
It looks pretty nasty.

..and getting it out
will be a nasty job...

It's definitely a different one.

It's rolled over on the east side,
going southbound,

so, the wheels aren't pointed
towards the road.

Generally,
you can just roll them over

onto their wheels
and yank them out onto the road,

but this one threw us
a little bit of a curveball.

Everything that could go wrong
and make it hard is there.

It's definitely going
to be a big job.

So, it's gotta be recovered
onto its wheels towards the ditch,

which is always a challenge.

..but before
they can even work out a plan...

Oh, when did that start happening?

We got fuel.

Little bit of fuel running here.

What, it's getting worse?
Yeah.

Let's get this thing out of here.

If it gets into the ground,
it ends up being a huge dig,

and it can add hours and hours,
sometimes days onto a recovery.

I need some more
of these catch pads.

We just gotta hurry.

It's getting
pretty ugly out here right now.

Snow is making
for very tricky driving.

Back on the 401 near Guelph...

She doesn't even wanna budge.

No?
No.

..Charles and crew have re-rigged
for a second attempt

at coaxing the semi onto the road.

Oh, OK, yeah.

We made a couple of adjustments.

We started to re-group and rethink.

You never want to give up.

Instead of fighting
all the resistance at once,

they'll pull in two stages.

Charles will first pull the back end
onto the highway...

Are you completely off?

..then Edgar
will pull the tractor...

There we go.

Finally!

Wow!

Trailer's pretty much
where I want it,

up to the road.

We got 'er.

..but after losing one
of their rigging points,

Edgar will be working
at a disadvantage.

You can just jackknife the tractor?

That's what we're hoping.

In this case, we have only one,
'cause other one is damaged.

So, he must now rely
on just a single pin

to take the force of his pull
through the heavy mud.

Where do you want me,
anywhere, or...

We're gonna run
into a problem with that.

Whoa!

I am holding it.

Everything's building up,

and it's just creating
more and more of a mound,

and way too much resistance for us.

Give 'er!

The tyres are getting stuck.

It's sinking in ground

at the same time
we try to bring it up.

Just slowly, slowly.

Unbelievable.

On Highway 401 at Highway 6...

That's lucky
that didn't fly into traffic.

..the heavy resistance
was too much for a single tow pin.

All I heard was the ping,
and I know what that ping sound is.

God-dammit.

The pull pin,
it just sheared it off.

It's like a gunshot going off.

It happened so fast...

Holy!

There's really nothing
anyone could do.

It was within inches of his head.

It would have been fatal
if it hit him.

That's how devastating
it could have been.

I was lucky.

OK, go.
But it wasn't a total loss.

Edgar pulled the truck far enough
to allow access

for rigging to the axle...

OK.

Everything was going decent.

We have this thing almost
to the top of the road

where we want it.

We just need to get
this thing back on the asphalt.

Alright.

..and they need to get it there

without flipping
the top-heavy trailer.

Yeah, go!

Finally.

She's almost on the road.

Everything's starting to roll,
and it's a sigh of relief

that this thing is headed
for the road.

Slowly, slowly.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

She's out.

That's it.

Charles!

It took all the horsepower
of all these tows

to get it pulled outta that mud,
and muck, and snow, and slush.

They finally got it up
on the shoulder,

gettin' it cranked up out of here,
and get it rolling shortly.

The customer still gets
to deliver their load.

We're towing the tractor away,

which is saved,
going to the customer.

It's a great day.

It went a little not
like I wanted, but it's out.

There's no damage, and it's out.

End of the day, it's a win.

It's an ugly win, but it's a win.

Phew.

It's a win for the crew,
and for the new rotator op.

OK, let's go.
Alright.

The team performed awesome.

They stepped up to the plate
and did a phenomenal job.

That's it, thank you.

Nice job.

It's a dangerous job,

but I wouldn't trade it
for the world.

Back on Highway 28 near Port Hope...

We're in a bit of a time crunch now.

There's a bit of diesel
running through the ditch.

..the B and G crew
has soaked up the leaking fuel,

but to fully stop the flow,

they need to get the tractor upright
quickly.

The longer this tractor's
on its side,

the bigger problem
we're going to have on our hands.

Cool. Alright.

Bill Junior,
who has the least experience

in heavy recovery,

will separate the tractor

and then re-rig to roll it
onto its wheels.

It's not something
that I've done a lot.

This gives me a good chance
to show them

what I'm capable of.

OK, they've got the lane closed
for you now.

You're good.
Yep.

Has it come ahead at all yet, Mitch?

Not yet,
but it's not far, I don't think.

There you go.

Yeah, it's coming to you now.

As Bill starts to pull
the tractor free...

It's gonna come right over.

..he sees a chance
to save some vital time.

Once I started pulling
with the quick swap,

the front axle dug into the ground,
and it act as a leverage point.

I'm gonna keep pulling.

It's gonna come right over
on its wheels.

You're kidding me, right?

You couldn't have planned that
if you tried!

Fuel leak has stopped.

Now, that we've got
the truck uprighted,

we're going to pull it
out of the ditch quick,

and then we get it up on the road.

Pull?
Yeah, pull.

Oh, yeah, that's coming.

Yeah.

Not very nicely, but it is.

That's good.

Any spills?
No.

Yeah, I think we got it all.

Awesome.

Back up, hook on to 'er,
and pick it.

OK, ready?

My brother Billy is going
to get the tractor ready to tow...

Gently.

..me and my dad
are going to start tackling

getting this trailer rolled over.

Working in a single lane,

Mitch's father wants to rig
for maximum manoeuvrability

to control the trajectory
without endangering drivers

or repositioning.

We're gonna strap under here, right?

OK.

You wanna tie right
into a D-ring on the rail?

Yeah, and come right under.

You're gonna lift it right up,
right?

Yeah.

But the plan
will be extremely challenging

for the operator.

Have you ever run
four independents like this?

My dad came up with the idea
to do four lines,

two auxiliary and two mains,

and it's not something
I've done yet,

but I know between the two of us

that we can definitely make it
happen.

So, we'll run the auxiliaries
down to the bottom one...

Correct.

..and my high cables up
to the top...

Absolutely.
..on both sides.

They'll run two lines
to the far side,

and two more to the near side,

allowing Mitch to both lift

and then roll the semi
in mid-air without stopping.

Mitch will have to control

and adjust
all four winches independently

at the same time.

Boom out, pick the other side up
with this side,

swing it right
into your outrigger legs.

OK.

The four-point roll
that we're performing here today,

this will be a first for Mitch.

Mitch is going to get a real feel
for what happens

when you have four independent lines
hooked to four independent corners.

Hey, Bill,
just wondering about timing?

Everybody's asking how long,
"When are we going to be opening?

"What are you doing?"

You've got to do your best
to get it open as soon as possible.

I'd say about 15, 20 minutes

we'll have it up
on the road beside us.

It's the first time

that I've done a roll right
off the side of the truck

with my auxiliaries and my mains.

It's definitely
out of my comfort zone.

You're running four winch lines.

If you move one at a time,
it goes up and turns.

You get a lot of movement
out of the trailer.

Any movement you make
with one winch line

will actually affect the position
of the entire trailer

and how it hangs below your boom.

It's a learning curve.

Bring in on my auxiliaries first?

See what happens.

Yeah, I've gotta get this going.

Right when you start to see
the trailer lift off the ground,

that's when you know it's go time.

You're all in,
and it's time to get the job done.

Is it moving on that back tyre
a little bit now?

Keep going.

He's realising now

how sensitive the controls
are in this situation.

The trailer will make
an erratic movement

if you move one wire rope
more than another.

Front's high.
What?

You've got the front fairly high.

Mitch?

Is it moving on that back tyre
a little bit now?

Keep going.

On the edge of Highway 28,

Mitch is attempting
a delicate manoeuvre,

using four separate winches,
for the first time.

As the trailer comes up,
we're starting to do this roll.

It's got my nerves shot.

See how one-line
twists 'er up, eh?

Yeah.
It's very sensitive.

He has to keep in mind
that very little wire rope movement

is a lot of trailer swing.

I'd be tempted
to let my mains down some more,

and stand 'er up against the bank.

That was four lines at once,
by the way.

Just make sure you don't get
too much swing into you.

As this thing's starting to roll,

it's getting pretty close
to the truck,

and that's my biggest concern.

So, use your inners
and start bringing it up the bank.

Yeah, I was just gonna slide it up,
just a hair.

Yeah.

That chain just slid.

If something was to happen,
and it was to hit the truck,

there's lots of consequences
that come with that.

You should be able to bring
that right into you.

A whole bunch of things
come into play all at once

in the last
little bit of the movement,

placement of the wheels,
placement of the dollies,

how close to the truck.

It's gotta clear the ditch.

In a bit more?

Yeah, bring it right up to you.

Just boom up.

Oh, ho, ho, yeah, buddy.

Good?

Now, boom in,
and it'll set right down.

That's gonna look pretty slick.

Like that?

Beautiful.
You're loose here, bud.

You good with that?

All four loose!

Seeing the tyres
touch down on the ground

and then this thing be
back on its feet

is probably the biggest relief
you can have.

Good to see Mitch
able to manipulate the controls.

It's not as easy as it looks.

To run four cables, and kind of,

sometimes, not feel like
you have full control of it

is a little bit intimidating,
but it's another step,

and, uh,
I think it went really well.

He's never done one like that.

It went beautiful.

Any day we can go out there
and learn another step,

and put another bag of tools
in my arsenal is perfect.

To go to a large recovery
like this with both the boys,

see them interact with each other,

trade ideas with each other,
it's a great feeling.

That's what family business
is all about.

Send it home
in just about the same shape

it went in the ditch,
that's a...that's a win, brother.

I love what I do.

It's given me
real-life experience that,

I don't think the average
22-year-old kid gets.

It's just a proud dad moment.

Good job.
Thanks, guys.

It's good to work with both boys
at once, man.

Yeah.
Love you, guys.

120mi west, back near Guelph...

..another chain of squalls
is battering the 401

and the back roads to the south.

Maintenance crews fight
to keep roads clear

but the onslaught keeps coming.

That's a good closure.

..and On Route Towing's Adam Barczak

has just hit a serious backup.

Looks like a couple vehicles
stuck on the hill.

The road was completely shut down.

Yeah, it's slippery.

He can't even stop.

On this county road hill,

the tow trucks are struggling

almost as much as the drivers
they're trying to help.

It's pretty insane out here,
packed snow and ice.

It doesn't matter
if you have winter tyres,

you're still sliding.

Almost.

That's why I decided to stay
and help those guys.

Adam's answering a call
for a jackknifed semi.

It's nowhere to be found...

I gotta come up with some idea,
how we're gonna get it out.

..but he can't turn his back
on fellow operators

or stranded drivers.

At the end of the day,

we're in this business
to help people...

There's a plough waiting
to get through and clear the road

if Adam can help get a tow truck
to open a path.

What if you come up this...

Up the edge,
because this is not packed snow.

He's got traction, perfect.

Let's go give him a hand.

My idea worked.

With the tow truck in position,
they need to start clearing the way

for the plough.

OK, let's see if this works.

First, they need to get
the van oriented.

The plan here is to pull him away
from the guardrail.

We gonna try
to back him down the hill.

There you go.

Keep going.

Keep pulling.

OK, we're in the straight path now.

We're in the straight. Good.

I want to keep him on that snow
because if he hits the brakes,

he's sliding
the way you slid, right?

Adam wants the driver
to use the traction of the snow

to slowly descend
the hill...backwards.

If you're driving down,
and you hit the brakes,

you'll lose control,
you'll just start sliding.

Just stay on this path,
where it's fresh snow.

Don't go in the middle of the road,
'cause that's pure ice,

so, put it in reverse,
and, uh, let it go slowly.

My biggest fear is that he's going
to go against the guardrail again,

and he might go through it
and go down the cliff.

Keep your wheel straight.

Don't brake, you're sliding.

He's sliding, sliding.

Sliding, sliding!

Yeah, yeah, you're gonna spin 180.

No, no, no.

Put it in reverse!
Let go of the brakes!

Don't touch the brakes!

Don't hit the brakes!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Keep on going, in reverse.

See what happens.

On an icy hill near Guelph...

This is sketchy.

..Adam's attempt
to clear the van...

No, no, no.

Put it in reverse!
Let go of the brakes!

Cut the breaks!

Don't hit the brakes!

..has gone off course.

(GROANS)

He almost made it. Whew!

Just tells you
how slippery this hill is.

You're at the bottom of the hill.
Yeah.

How you feeling?
Oh, terrific.

You need a new pair of underwear?

Almost.

Just watching it, it wasn't fun.

The van has almost made it.

If Adam can provide some traction,

the driver can move off the shoulder
and off this road.

OK, give 'er a try.

You're getting traction.

Let go of the brakes.

Really, wow.

There you go, there you go.

One out.

What a day!

..and the road isn't clear yet.

We're gonna have fun
with that truck.

That plough can not go
until we clear.

How you doing?
Good. You?

Oh, you know, I've had better days.

So, we're gonna hook
onto your front end,

we're gonna swing it this way.

You want to get out
of that dip, right?

Turn that wheel more.

There you go.

OK, stop. Stop, stop, stop.

He's got a fully loaded trailer
at the back,

but he's got pretty good tyres
on his truck.

After seeing what happened
with the Sprinter van,

I know how icy that hill is.

You ready?

Give 'er.

Keep it to the right.

There you go.

It worked!

Now, we gotta worry
about the van with passengers.

The last vehicle...

Just go slow, eh?

..is on its way.

OK,

we got all three vehicles cleared
from the hill.

You can come down.
OK.

OK?
Yep.

Now, the plough can get to work.

This just shows you
how the towing community

can come together.

No matter the name on the door,
the guys work together as a team.

Thanks, man, appreciate it.
No problem, no problem.

Any time, any time.

It feels pretty good to help people

when they're in a bad situation.

See you on the next one!

They appreciate your help.

It's not always about competition.

Sometimes you gotta work together.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

120mi north...

Alright, we're on our way, buddy.
We'll see you soon.

James Ireland is heading up
out of Barrie,

and today, he's not riding alone.

You got to keep in mind
when we're there,

keep eyes in the back of your head
because there's gonna be lanes open.

It's the 400.

Three years ago,

James left Classic
to start Rescue 51

with his wife, Fabiana...

You ready now?
Yeah, yeah.

..and the gamble has paid off.

James Ireland!

Yeah.
Take the first tag.

Out of the way!

It's just been full steam ahead

ever since the day
we started answering the phone.

We got to pull that thing sideways.

OK.

Keep the wheels turned.

Starting our own business
has been the best decision yet.

It's a little scary,
but we're growing,

we're growing very fast.

..and Fabiana's experience
on the road

is growing as fast as the company.

I go out with James
to help him out on wrecks.

We work together very well,
actually.

Hook it up, and outta here.

I would love to see
more women involved

in the heavy towing industry.

There's not that many out there,
and it's actually a lot of fun.

That's the way we do it.

Today, they're heading 35mi
north of Barrie

to a job up Highway 400.

What is it?

A 53ft trailer that's gone
in between some guardrails

and a rock-cut,
down the ditch about 200ft in.

Sounds like
it'll be a little bit challenging.

Alright, we're here.

Bring your helmet
out of the toolbox.

OK.

Yeah, this is a good one.

We've had a tractor-trailer
go off the highway here.

He's come down between a rock-cut
and a set of guardrails.

The semi sideswiped
the rocky terrain,

narrowly missing a direct hit.

10ft would have made
all the difference here.

The Canadian Shield outcrops
everywhere along this highway.

It's solid rock.

These rock cuts
are very unforgiving.

It literally ripped
this truck apart.

The front axle's out,
the fuel tank is out of it.

This driver is extremely lucky.

Steve Cooke from Lewis Heavy Towing

has pulled the wreck back 50ft,

but needs some extra muscle
for the final stretch to the road.

Let's get this thing here rigged up.

Whenever I'm short on trucks
or need a hand, I'll call James.

Got it, Chris?
Yup.

We're just waiting for the police
to shut down one lane

so, I can get my truck
turned around now.

This is our major, major
eastbound-westbound to out West,

so, we gotta get this thing
outta here

and get this road open.

..and on such an important route,

drivers are in a hurry.

Truck traffic gets quite crazy
coming down here.

That truck...

I know for sure that truck
could go slower through here.

These guys are just hammer down.

Look at this guy!

Being on the highway,
we have to be very careful.

One of the drivers from Lewis
actually got hit recently

because people are not slowing down
and moving over for us.

We're both out here,
and we have kids,

and we never know
what's gonna happen,

if we're gonna come home or not.

We have to have eyes
in the back of our head,

the side of our head, everything.

All it takes is to slow down

when you go through a spot
like this, and they can't do it.

I don't know why.

Really?
Can you go any faster?

Really?

Can you go any faster?

It's absolutely ridiculous.

It's not like
they don't have enough warning

and red lights behind us.

On Highway 400 north
of Port Severn...

Like, look at these idiots.

..James and Fabiana
are facing a tough wreck

next to speeding traffic.

People are not slowing down
and giving us room to work.

So, the OPP steps in
to shut down all southbound lanes.

Ten minutes is what we need, eh?

OK, so James
is gonna go turn around now.

The closure gives the crew the room
they need to work safely...

but it adds intense pressure.

Right now,
we need to get this highway clear

and get out of here.

James thinks
that we can have this highway

re-opened in ten minutes...

Am I out of the lane?

Ten minutes doesn't seem
to be a long time.

This is a pretty busy road
right now,

and obviously, you know,
being closed is not good.

Oh! OK, we're blocked.

With Steve's wrecker rigged
to the rear of the trailer,

James will hold the front end
upright

as Steve pulls the rig back
and onto the road.

Good, good, good.

OK, Steve, they're good to go.

Just go easy, buddy.

We're trying to make it
not only come backwards

but come sideways,
away from the rocks.

But they can't pull it
too far sideways.

It's between a set of guardrails
and a rock-cut.

We've got to steer it out
without damaging the guardrails.

Let's give it a bit, Steve.

See what it'll do.

Just go slow. Go half speed.

We have about a foot right now.

Are we OK over there?

The front is clear of the rocks now.

That's good enough, Steve.
Let's re-rig.

Let's do 'er!

Far side only, Steve, far side only.

Just go easy, buddy.

OK, hold up.

Fabiana, grab me a snatch block?

I need to get more pull on it,

so, we're adding a low line
with a snatch block

so, we can try and rip this out
onto the highway.

With his ten minutes almost up...

I'm grabbing a snatch block for him.

..James is relying
on his apprentice.

Fabiana's gotta hustle
getting this thing rigged.

Where are we hooking it?

I'm learning a little more,
and getting a little more,

uh, confident.

This what we're doing?
Where is he?

I'm learning, but then
I forget five minutes later.

(LAUGHS)

Just trying to change
the angle here a little bit.

OK, tweak 'er back a bit.

Everybody get back outta here.

Go ahead, Steve.

Little more...

The semi is almost on the road...

Your winches
are a lot faster than mine.

..but Steve is getting ahead
of James.

Just go about half speed.

If Steve gets too far ahead,

James won't be able to hold
the trailer upright.

We're just worried about it rolling.

My truck is newer,
and the winches are a faster speed.

It's critical that we pull together
and talk together.

Just go slow, Steve, real slow.

That's it, it's coming now.

It's coming now.

If his lines go loose,

the unit could roll over
into the rock-cut.

The back tyres are up in the air.

It's scary.

Slow, slow, slow, Steve.

Slow. Slower.

Let me pull
a little bit more, Steve.

I don't like when the wheels
are up in the air like that.

I feel like it's gonna go over.

(GROANS)

Hold on, Steve.

If he gets pulling too hard,

the truck could tip over
a little further

than we'd like it to.

Ah, this is taking too long.

This is taking too long.

When you come around the corner,

and then all of a sudden,
there's OPP

and a crashed truck there,
it's hard to see,

so, it's really important
that we get these jobs done on time.

A little bit, Steve,
just give it a hair for me.

Slow, Steve, slow.
Let me try and do most of it.

Slow, stop, stop.

Stop, Steve, stop.

Stop...

Let me try it.

Just give it a little bunt,
just a hair.

Good, stop.

Again...

Do it like that.

There, now look at it.

I think it's out good, Steve, no?

We're done. It's up.

Break 'er down.

We hit our timeline
at ten minutes...

They're just gonna open up
another lane right now.

Everything worked really good,

and we got the lanes open again.

OK, that's perfect.

There's just one more step,

and James knows the perfect member
of the crew to take it on.

So, we've gotta get
this tyre winched up.

Thing weighs like 400 pounds.

It's too heavy to roll up
the hill with people.

It's too dangerous,

so, Fabiana's gonna pull
it up the hill.

I can send Fabiana
to do anything now.

She's really coming along
in learning

what we're doing out here.

And I actually
like operating the controls.

Hold up.

Just try it.
I'm hoping it sneaks underneath.

Oh, you're smart.

What would I do without you?

(LAUGHS)

It makes these jobs go faster
when we have another person

we're working
with that knows what's going on.

I think we're always learning,

and James and Steve
are good teachers, so it's perfect.

It's nice to see women
getting involved in this industry.

Got it?

It brings a different perspective
to it.

This weighs a lot more than I do.

It's cold, it's wet,
it's uncomfortable,

and for some reason, I like it.

(LAUGHS)

Why am I doing all the hard work?

That's what we do around here.

Right now,
we need to get out of here

because I'm getting hangry,
and you don't want that.
