All language subtitles for Heavy Rescue 401 S05 E17_track3_[und]

KERRY: Wow!
Poor guys in here.

DAVE PETTITT (NARRATES):
On the season finale

of Heavy Rescue 401...

..a roadside rodeo...

It's going backwards.

..loses traction.

KERRY: That's not good.

So, I got a plan in mind,

but I wanna hear
what you guys think.

Gary's team...

You ready, guys?
..fights...

Hold it! Whoa!
..to find rhythm.

Hold on, Glen. Glen...

Catch up Collin, please.

This is a mess.

..and Duncan...

BARRY: If I start yellin',
something's wrong.

..battles the bulge.

BARRY: Hold on, Dunc!

She's tipping!

On the highways
of southern Ontario,

a long winter has overstayed
its welcome...

..blasting the last storm
of the season right towards Toronto.

LISA: We're already starting to see
some of those snowflakes.

Now, this snow is expected
to get a lot heavier.

Across the city,

maintenance crews are gearing up
for a lengthy fight...

DRIVER: Looks like it's gonna be
a long afternoon and evening.

..and so is
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt.

There's a big system
coming in.

We're talking about
25 centimetres or more.

Plows and salters
have been out already,

but we need all the drivers
to be ready as well,

and what that means
is avoid unnecessary travel.

If you do need to be out there,
keep your eyes open.

As evening shifts into night,
problems on the road are mounting.

KERRY: We've got about crashes
on the go right now.

Snow-covered highways
all across the GTA,

barely seeing the lane markings.

As Kerry heads east
through the city on the 401...

..the latest call comes in,
dead ahead at Leslie Street.

We have a call for a truck

that lost a set of wheels
right in the heart of Toronto.

This is a bit of a tricky
situation here.

Wow!

Oh, yeah, that's not going anywhere.

Wow, yeah, you can see
the axle's snapped right off.

DRIVER: Centre laneway going west.

Hit a pothole,

and she blew the tyres off the far
side of the trailer.

Broke both axles out of 'er.

Just crazy.

KERRY: Typically in a situation
like this,

where you have
a broken-down trailer,

you haul it away,
and you open the highway.

But tonight, the situation...

(COW MOOS)

..is far from typical.

KERRY: Those poor guys in here.

We need to get the cattle
off the highway.

On North America's
busiest highway,

closure...is not an option.

KERRY: Highway 401 westbound
express lanes just past Leslie.

We've got a broken-down
cattle-hauler trailer.

As Kerry updates the public
on social media...

KERRY: Obviously, this is gonna make
for a challenging recovery.

..he can see that the trailer
can't be moved until the cargo is.

KERRY: So,
what we need to do right now

is get the cattle off that
broken-down trailer

and onto a replacement trailer.

Holy crap, eh?

Help has just arrived...

Sonny Subra from Prompt,

and he's already feeling
the pressure.

I never done
an animal trailer,

so this is the first time
I'm doing it.

It's really a messy weather.

It's slippery and iced up
all over the highway.

We are just waiting
for another trailer

to offload all the cows,

and then we're gonna
move it off the highway.

Once the trailer is empty,
it will be up to Sonny to clear it,

but with the missing wheels,
that won't be a simple tow.

So, what's going to happen,

after they remove the cows
from the trailer,

we can't put a dolly.

We can't move this trailer
any other way,

so, we need help.

We need a float.

He'll need to load
the damaged hauler

onto the float trailer the minute
the cows are transferred,

to ease the growing backup.

If we make any mistakes,
it's gonna take a lot of time,

so, we will do it very carefully
and the right way.

OK, I am ready.

It's been a winter of hard work
for Sonny.

This is a start-up company.

It's really a small company.

Moving to Prompt

and pushing to establish
the new heavy division...

Now, I'm cruising around.

I need a more customer here.

..he's fought
for every possible job.

Heavy on scene.

Tonight, on the 401,
in the heart of the city,

all eyes are on him.

The people, like,
going side by, they sometimes honk.

"What the hell you
guys doing?" you know?

We can't move
without offloading these cows.

KERRY: Oh, here it is.

There's the trailer.

As soon as they get this
highway shut down,

they'll be able to get
the cattle all offloaded.

Obviously, these guys have been
sitting here now for a little while.

The transfer crew needs
to work fast...

DRIVER: Whoa, Dave!

..but carefully.

KERRY: We've had them
get loose in the past,

and it certainly is troubling
when we have first responders

and crews trying to clean up
this mess.

If we got loose the cow
on the road,

it's gonna run all over the highway.

DRIVER: Come on, girls, let's go!

KERRY: Make sure that
no cattle get free.

You never know
what you're gonna see

on the highways here.

Obviously, those guys know
what they're doing.

Those cows were offloaded
from one trailer

to the other one
in just a matter of minutes.

..but even those minutes
have stretched the backup,

blocking the plows
from clearing miles of highway.

OK, back up. Let's go.

Sonny's time is running out.

We'll deal with this trailer.

I'm gonna lift it up with my boom.

CHARON: OK, go.

OK. Go!

Sonny must guide
the trailer into place...

MAN: Not much room
on the other side.

..without tipping
it over the side.

MAN: Sonny,
can you pull the boom in?

In.

The highway's
already been closed

for more than three hours right now

because of all the transport
and everything,

so, I am kind of nervous, like,
I don't want to make a mistake.

MAN: Pull it. Pull it. Pull it.

OK.

It's gonna slide all the way, man.

That's good.

This side is OK.

KERRY: Looks like
we're almost ready to roll.

We'll get the plows through here,
and get things open.

OK, yeah.

KERRY: OK.

Ice all over the place.

But as the driver tries
to roll away...

Keep going, keep going.

It's going backwards.

Snow plow didn't come through
the 401 westbound express,

so, everything iced up.

KERRY: That's not good.

We have the snow plows
back at the closure

waiting to come through,

and now we have one more delay.

Keep going, keep going.

Whoa!

Stop!

On the 401 at Leslie,

the westbound express is backing up
deep into Scarborough.

Keep going! Keep going!

The road won't open

until the float tractor
can clear the scene.

Everything iced up.

It's going backwards.

There's no traction
on the icy road,

and plows and salters are stuck
behind the closure.

KERRY: If the plows
can't do their job,

the highways are gonna be
in even worse shape.

So, Sonny takes charge.

Somebody has to pull it out.

We've got to do it.

Want me to bring my heavy?

Let me take my heavy
and pull him out.

There's not enough heavy load
on the rear axles,

because it's basically
an empty trailer,

so, like, it's not enough load
to grab the traction on the road.

OK!

Put on the axle, OK?

MAN: Go, go!

My wrecker
is a 50-ton wrecker,

so, it has enough traction.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

KERRY: It should be
cleared off shortly,

and we'll get all lanes reopened
in the next couple of minutes.

OK.

Again, we did a good job.

This has been good.

I gotta go,
I gotta go for another wreck!

That's given me
that little bit of boost,

like I can do more job on the 401.

KERRY: We're all doing
this for the ultimate goal

of getting the highways reopened,
and really,

this is a team effort,
getting the job done,

having the equipment in here,

and getting it done as quickly
as they can.

Kerry Schmidt giving a good,

positive feedback
on the recovery and stuff,

that's made me proud,
and that's, like,

given me some boost
that I can do more jobs like this.

After a winter
facing big challenges,

Sonny is ready for the next one.

250mi to the east,

another late-winter front
is bearing down on Cornwall...

..but even before the snow arrives,

one driver is having a bad night
on the 401.

Is your pump in?

Duncan Cooper and the crew

from Cornwall Towing are on scene
to get the semi upright.

I don't know what happened,
but he come right across the road,

did a 180, and now he's blocking
the fast lane in the westbound.

The eastbound transport
lost control,

veering through the median,

and slamming down on the westbound
side of the highway.

It looked like
a twisted pop can.

The tractor was right up
on the road,

the front part is blocking traffic,
so we have to deal with this now.

We're gonna pull the tractor out,
upright it.

Clearing the lane
is only one of the reasons

Duncan wants to move fast.

The rain's supposed
to change to snow, they say.

We knew there was a weather system
moving in,

and it was moving in fast,

so, we wanted to clear
what we could,

get the road open,
and get out of there.

First, Duncan needs
to separate the tractor

and remove it from the lane.

He's relying on Mike McPhee...

Did you get the pin pulled?

..and Barry Wagner.

BARRY: It's never easy
to unhook a truck

when it's twisted a little bit
and thrown on its side.

Grab the yellow line.

Bring 'er down some?

Oh...

OK.

Want me
to get ya a milk crate?

No, it's OK, I got it.

OK.

Just hook it right in here.

OK!

Give it a little bit of a tug.

A little more!

I think the trailer
is twisting on the pin.

Goddamn it.

Do you know where the crowbar is?

Nothing's ever simple, is it, guys?

This should be
a relatively simple thing.

Go grab the sledgehammer.

Hit it!

Hit it! Pull it.

Hit it.

There ya go!

There ya go!

There ya...
Now, it's open.

Finally...

it popped open.

It was like, "Oh, thank God.

"Let's go."

There you go!

Good.

So, we're gonna pull
the tractor ahead,

then we're gonna upright it
right where it's sitting.

Pull it over!

BARRY: Give 'er a little love.

Here she comes.

MATT: Whoo-hoo!

Good!

But it's the loaded trailer
that will be the real challenge.

It's actually boxes
of rolls of paper towel.

Right to the top.

We may attempt to upright
this loaded.

The first step, just pulling
the trailer closer to the road...

OK!

Try it.

Keep going.

..but with 30,000 pounds
inside the heavily compromised semi,

even this small pull
could tear the trailer wide open.

She heavy, Mikey?

She's coming.

As they coax it to the edge...

Here comes that rain.

The rain is supposed to change
to snow, they say.

The forecast was for a storm system
to start moving in.

..with the storm hitting,
and the lane clear of the tractor...

Huh...

I don't know.

..Duncan makes a call.

Good enough!

Good enough.

We have to wait till
the storm blows over.

The trailer is staying in the ditch,
We'll be back in the morning.

Tractor's coming with us.

I have no problem working
in the snow and the weather,

that's what we do,
but there is a safety issue.

There's moving traffic one lane over
just a few feet away from us,

and when it starts getting
snowy and icy,

it could get dangerous.

Good!

So, for tonight,
they're waiting out the weather.

We'll be back in the morning
for the trailer and the load.

As morning breaks

over the south-western tip
of the province...

..a night of bad weather
has left a trail

of destruction along Highway 402.

You loaded with anything?

Gary Vandenheuvel
has been hard at work

since long before the sun came up...

We've got a lot going on.

We've got trucks everywhere.

It's just one of those days

where everybody's
kind of spread out.

Right on the 402 right now,

I've got a couple
of tractor-trailers in here,

got the other guys working
on a rollover this morning.

..and the forecast says more
heavy squalls are due to blow in.

You can see the wind starting
to pick up again here.

Just 2.5mi down the road...

Ay-yi-yi!

..Gary's son Collin is already
sizing up a much bigger job.

It rolled pretty hard
going into the ditch.

There's a bit of a bow here,

so that's a good sign
that the structure in the front

of this trailer is compromised.

Having damage in that top corner
is definitely a red flag.

With winter winding down,

Collin needs to show his father
how far he's come.

OK.

This is essentially my final exam,
I guess you could say.

I gotta show him
that I'm able to pass,

and he can toss
the torch over to me,

and he can take a step back.

There's something right there.

It's gonna be fun.

He needs to see exactly
what's pushing against that roof.

Racks.

OK.

It's all automotive racks,

big steel racks
to hold the auto parts,

so, they do have a bit of weight
to them.

They're all empty.
OK.

But with no cargo in the racks,

he's willing to take a chance
and skip an offload...

So, we'll be able to roll
this thing over loaded.

We're just gonna have to strap
the hell out of it.

..but before
he can even get started...

Holy crap, this is windy.

The wind's starting to pick up.

You can see it blowing
across the fields.

It only takes a minute,

and we can get some
whiteout conditions here.

We got some lake effect moving
in here now.

Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.

Just east of Sarnia,
on Highway 402...

Help's arrived!

..with the wind bearing down,
Collin's backup has finally arrived.

OK, what do we got, bud?

It's loaded
with empty racks.

20,000, probably?

15,000 to 20,000.

The damage is up
in the front of the trailer

where it went in really hard.

OK, so what's the plan?

I want to drag it up closer
to the shoulder here,

and then from there we can roll it.

Collin's looked
things through,

and he's actually
got a plan formulated

to how we're gonna upright
this thing,

and it's actually bang-on.

With Gary planning to spend
less time working recoveries,

he needs to see initiative
from every member of his crew...

Let's do it.
Yeah, sounds good.

OK.
OK.

It's nice that my dad
has that confidence

that I can do this.

Morning, Glen.
Hey, boss!

..and the newest member
has just arrived,

Glen Hobman.

Yellow line to the front,
red to the...

Yeah.

You're trying to prove that

everything you said
in your resume is true,

but you're only
as good as your last job.

OK, let's get
this thing rotated.

Let's get 'er in place, guys.

Whew, that wind's cold.

It's blowing in.

At any point in time,

you could get a snow squall
that blows in on us,

so, we need to get this wrapped up.

Gotta hurry up.

First, they need to slide
the semi closer to the road.

The move will also give them
a better sense of the damage...

We'll see
what the cab's doing,

and we'll see what the back
of the box is doing.

OK, so, Collin,
you've got tension on yours now?

I've got tension, yes.

Alright, starting to lift.

Keep going.

Gotta watch that corner.

It's not great.

Another foot maybe.

OK, you decide.

Alright,
taking tension off the lines.

OK.
That looks really good.

..and again, Gary wants to see
his crew take the lead.

So, I got a plan in mind
how I kinda want to rig,

but I want to hear
what you guys think.

Go for it.

You go first.

I wanna hear what you think, guys.

Glen?

I gotta do this.

200mi northeast...

(GRUNTS)
So, basically I join them.

..Sonny is taking a rare morning
off from the road,

but he's still facing a big job.

Getting ready
for the big day.

Building a crib.

It's not like this.

With his new baby due any day,
Sonny needs to be ready.

How this work?

The hole is right here...

Hooking up a wreck, it's pretty easy
because I know what I'm doing.

That's an Allen key...

Putting up a crib, I don't know.

Uh-oh!

I can't get mad.

I want to do it myself.

I'm really excited to see my baby,
so I will do anything for it.

It's been a winter
of change for Sonny,

hard work here and on the highway,
but all for a reason.

Yeah, got it.

I'm really happy.

My next generation gonna be here.

Whatever I work for,
it's gonna be for the kid.

300mi east,
the weather has cleared.

Time to mop up
from the storm.

So, Duncan and crew are heading
back to finish last night's job...

Be interesting to see
how froze in it is.

Ah...

..and in daylight,

the job is already
looking tougher...

I think this trailer
is gonna give us trouble.

A lot of breaks and splits in it.

The trailer was
severely compromised.

I wasn't even sure

if it was gonna come up
in one piece.

Everything's split apart.

It was a gamble.

We're gonna pull
the front of the trailer

over a little bit first,

and then we'll get ready
for an upright.

Mike!

Take that with ya.

OK.

There it goes, there it goes!

Look at the trailer wall.

It just kinked right in, eh?

Barry!

We're gonna have to shovel some
of that snow out of the way.

I'll grab a shovel.

The trailer's facing
the wrong direction,

so, we're gonna have to stand it up,

and then try and turn it
around and bring it out

the correct way onto the highway.

We'll back his truck up,

close to the front, and I should be
able to get it right now.

OK.

..and to spin it
with minimal impact on traffic,

Duncan's come up
with an unconventional plan.

We're gonna get the dolly
off the back of the truck,

put it under the fifth wheel
so we can pivot the trailer on it.

So, we use an old trick,
put the dollies on it,

use that to pivot the front
of the trailer right around.

OK!

With the rotating wheels
on the front,

they'll upright the trailer,

and then turn it sharply around
as they pull it up to the road.

OK, give me some winch.

If it works out
the way you want it,

you can move the front
of that trailer anywhere you like,

'cause you only
have a short little dolly,

and you can
winch it whatever way.

Unhook it?

BARRY: Nope,
just let him pick it up first.

OK.

But first, they have
to get the wheels in place.

Bring your deck ahead.

Put 'er back down as you pull
the truck ahead.

We're gonna hold it against
the trailer so it locks the pins.

BARRY: Is it touching?

You gotta bring it down...

Let 'er come...

Oh!
BARRY: Pick 'er again.

Try 'er again.

BARRY: Nope.
Just don't want to lock, eh?

We're trying to drop
that dolly onto the king pin,

and it just wouldn't cooperate.

It was about six inches
too short.

BARRY: I'm gonna put the block
in here, Dunc.

I don't know
if it's gonna work, but...

Suck that up lightly.

Right there.

Pass the pin down a bit more.

There!
Whoa!

I can tell how this whole
job's gonna go right from the start.

It's gonna be a mess.

Seriously?

(GROANS) A big cluster (BLEEP)!

Seriously?

On the 401,
at the northern edge of Cornwall...

DUNCAN:
(GROANS) A big cluster (BLEEP)!

..Duncan's dolly plan
is refusing to come together.

This is a mess.

Trying to get the dolly
clipped in place,

and it was just difficult.

The jaws are not opening.

BARRY: They're all ice.

Frozen?

BARRY: Jaws are froze shut.

That's why it's not going on for us.

Where'd the hammer go again?

BARRY: It had a bunch
of accumulated ice inside the jaws,

and it wouldn't let the jaws
lock themselves properly.

Hit it!

There we go!

OK, let's try it again.

This way.
BARRY: Push.

Right there, straight down.

That's good that way, yeah.

BARRY: Bring 'er down!

I heard a click.

Yeah, but it didn't lock.

She didn't lock.

There, she's locked!

About time.

Pain in the ass!

Now, they have to lift
the compromised trailer upright,

with 30,000 pounds inside.

So, we're gonna
start strapping as many straps

as we can around the trailer,
get it ready to do a lift.

OK.

What do you want to do here,
Duncan?

We use this highline...

BARRY: Go over the top?
...with a WreckMaster strap.

I'm going to use all
four of my lines,

and I'm gonna put a strap
to every single thing

that I can
possibly get a strap onto.

That's done.

OK.

OK!

I'm hoping it holds together,
but it's...

it's pretty badly damaged.

This is where the problem's
gonna start, right here.

It's already pulled away
from the bottom.

It's gonna be a gamble.

The trailer is severely compromised.

Hook your hook in,

and we'll start guiding
it down the trailer,

and over the dolly legs
and everything else.

We've got a 50-50 chance here.

4500mi to the west...

Is that good?
Yeah.

..Gary and crew
are finishing the rigging

for their own compromised trailer.

Just go one,
two, and three, tighten 'em up.

OK.

Always worried
about a corner like this.

This trailer's been hit pretty hard.

It's opened up pretty good.

Hoping that it stays together.

If they're going to have
any chance to keep it intact,

Collin and Glen will need
to work in unison.

I'm operating
the 2012 rotator...

There we go!

..and Glen's operating
the brand-new rotator.

How's that look, boss?

Yeah, I like it.

These guys are gonna work together
for a long time,

and it's important that they
get that hand in glove together.

Just see how they mesh.

You ready, guys?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Let's do it.

Collin will winch the trailer,

while Glen lifts and pulls down
the tractor,

working together to smoothly roll
the semi onto its wheels.

Just keep an eye on your legs
on the other side as you upright it.

Yeah.

OK.

OK, OK.

It's pulling that whole unit
towards you guys,

so, just be careful
that you're gonna have enough room.

Whoa. Rotator slid.

How are you when you land?

Are you gonna be OK?

Yeah, I'm still clear.

OK, let's start bringing it.

Bring 'em all up, guys.

There we go.

Come on.

There's a little bit
of pressure here to make sure

this is being done right.

Tell me
how we're looking, Dad.

The new rotator's a little bit
faster than this older rotator.

We just gotta make sure
that we keep our lines in sync.

I need to lead a little bit.

I need to get the tractor

and the front of that
trailer to catch up

to where the rear
of the trailer was.

That way, then we're nice
and squared with the road.

Bring it up.

It's creaking a little
on that corner.

Collin...

Hold on, Glen. Glen...
Stop. I'll stop. I'll stop.

Catch up, Collin,
please, on your back one.

OK, that's it, that's it.

OK, keep going down, guys...

I've got the important job
of catching the trailer

before it drops.

It's a lot of responsibility.

Tip point.
Keep going, keep going.

Yeah...

Here she comes, Collin.
Yeah, I got her.

It's all ours.

Keep going, keep going,
keep going.

You got 'er, guys.

Keep going.

You're letting 'er down, Coll?

You got 'er all the way?

Yeah,
I got 'er all the way now.

Bring 'er right down.

There you go.

Nice and soft,
like I planned.

That should be a commercial.

That was so good.

When the job gets done the way
you want it to,

it just builds your confidence
in yourself.

Nice, gentlemen.

I think
this is a salvageable trailer.

You guys did a great job.

I might bring you back
for the next one, too.

It worked out beautifully.

We just dust off the side

and they'll put 'er
back to work tomorrow.

Yeah.

Nice.

It's nice to see the team
mesh like this, upright

it and land it so softly.

Yeah, it was a good job
all the way around.

Yeah, just in time, and you're
about where you can be, Glen.

This was a strange year for us.

Bringing in a new guy,
and then my injury,

but the team,
they did a great job this year.

Real happy with this one.

Working with everybody's
strengths, as a team,

we're trying to get this done.

I think we're nailing it.

I think we're doing
a really good job.

Good job, gentlemen.

Awesome.

They're a team, and
they're working real well together.

OK, that's it,
let 'em start winching.

Back in Cornwall...

BARRY: Gotta come right
to the bottom!

OK, stop!

..the crew has wrapped
the trailer in straps,

gambling that they can hold
it together to survive the upright.

BARRY: That strap good?

Now, they have to roll the dice.

BARRY: It's almost test time.

Worst-case scenario,
it breaks, we have to unload it.

I have tried everything
I can here to avoid that problem.

If it rips open,
we're gonna be out there all day,

all night, picking up this load.

Is she gonna hold together,
or is she gonna come apart?

Tighten it up!

We're gonna let him
do the leading.

Wow.

It's pretty ugly.

As we're lifting, it's creaking,

and everything
is moving and bowing out.

There's no way
this is gonna hold together.

Watch yourself, Barry.

Not too fast.

Not too much!

BARRY: Whoa, whoa,
don't go too fast.

Not too much!

On the 401,

the Cornwall crew is about
to find out if Duncan's gamble...

BARRY: Not too much,
not too much.

Let him keep it tight.

..will pay off.

I can see the underneath
of the trailer.

I'm like, "There's no way
this is gonna hold together."

BARRY: Keep 'er coming. Here we go.

She's tipping, she's tipping!

Tighten 'er up a bit more.

OK.

Did it hold together?

(GROANS)

I was absolutely astonished
it did not break in half.

How does the wall
on the other side look?

Came out a lot better than
we thought.

Everything stayed intact,

so, we can pull it off the road
in one piece.

But getting it upright
was just step one.

We're not out yet.

We have to get this thing up
onto the road,

and into the right direction.

We'll unchain the dolly...
BARRY: Yup.

..so, the dolly can pivot.

Maybe we'll hook my drag into it,

and pull it up a little bit more,
OK?

Duncan's plan hinges
on using the dolly wheels

to steer the trailer
almost 180 degrees

as they bring it to the road.

BARRY: OK, I'll tighten the top up,
leave the bottom loose.

OK, just a bit.
Not too much.

Is it too tight?

Never mind.

You're good.

Good now!

They need the plan to work
to keep a lane of traffic flowing.

The whole game plan
was to get it out of the ditch

without having to shut down
the highway.

So, the yellow one,
we're gonna hook to the red strap,

and that red one,
it'll go to the pintle hook.

So, we're gonna
use this winch line here,

gonna snatch block it low,

into the pintle hook of the dolly.

It should pivot on those wheels.

As Duncan steers
the trailer around,

Barry will try to hold it upright

and prevent it from tipping
back down the ditch.

BARRY: I'll just keep 'er tight,

and if I start yelling,
something's wrong.

OK.

OK?
BARRY: Yup!

As the trailer spins around,
it's quickly running out of space...

You're awful close to the top,
Duncan!

OK, hold on.

BARRY: Once we got it almost up,
we were sitting at an awful angle.

I can move ahead 20ft or so,

and we can bring it
around to that next point.

..but straddling
the bank mid-pull...

OK,
I'll just go ahead slow...

..the trailer
is leaning dangerously.

We don't have all day!

..and as they set up
for the next pull,

they'll be working in the dark.

I wanna get this thing
out of here,

and get off the road
as soon as possible.

Are you ready, Mike?

Whenever you're ready.

In low light next to a live lane,

finishing this job
just became even more urgent.

It's too dangerous
on the 401 at night.

Gentle, just gentle, gentle.

Keep going!

As Duncan hits
the 90-degree point...

Come on!

It was tight, tight, tight.

..he's all out of room.

That trailer refuses
to back up, eh?

That trailer was gonna come out
onto the lane that's still live.

Just keep it snug, OK?

I didn't have much space
to get it into the right direction.

BARRY: Hold on, Dunc!

OK, hold on.

Hold on, Al!

If we pull a little too far,

we put the nose
of that trailer out in traffic,

somebody could hit it.

You're right
on the white line now!

We had to make a decision.

Shut the highway down
for a few minutes.

(CHUCKLES) How you doing?

Good, good.

OK, I'm rigged up right now.

I'm gonna need you to shut
the lane down for about two minutes.

Soon as I see you
in the middle of the road,

I know we're good, OK?

OK, thank you.

OK, he's gonna go around...

Yeah?
..and once he does that...

Then we pull.
It's game time.

I said as soon as you see it
come through the arch,

and it comes back
inside the white line...

..open the traffic up.
OK.

You tell me
when the last car goes by.

But he's determined
to keep the closure to a minimum.

Are we good, Mike?

OK, go!

Go!

Gotta wait till the cars
go by!

No, keep coming!

Go!

Go!

But that is nerve-racking,
that is heart-thumping,

'cause you know you have
the whole highway closed.

Come on, baby, go backwards.

I'm thinking to myself, "Well,

wouldn't this be a wonderful time
if something went wrong or broke."

Hey!

Let the traffic come.

Yeah, let it through!

Crazy.

Took less than three minutes,

and they were able
to open the highway.

Can you believe that
trailer held together?

Every once in a while,
a blind squirrel gets a nut.

Now, we're in a good place!

That's good!

Let's get it hooked up
and get out of here, man.

For Duncan,
it's the end of a long struggle,

and a long winter...

Keeping this highway open,
we sacrifice a lot.

I ask my men to sacrifice a lot,

away from their families
and loved ones,

away from holiday seasons.

It makes it very difficult to have
to ask these men to do that,

but they do.

It's a little heavy
to spin the tyres,

but she's good to go.

..and with a solid crew
behind him, this year,

Duncan added to his fleet,
building up the company.

There's 525 horsepower
sitting right there.

Sounds lovely.

Sounds like it's powerful.

After five years of putting
my nose to the ground,

I'm back to where I wanna be.

Ecstatic how well this thing works.

Perfect.

They just put my name on it,
so everybody knows it's my truck,

so... Feels good.

It was a winter of change
up and down the highway.

I moved out of Toronto.

I changed company.

Whoo!

(LAUGHTER)

Finally, eh?

(LAUGHTER)

That's a good one!

This was a strange year for us.

Winch 'er up!

Keep going, guys.

It's difficult
to step back sometimes,

but it's actually a good thing.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Oh! Whoa!

Oh, well.
Came over faster than...

..I thought it was going to.
Yup.

Every one, we get better.

It was a good season in the end,

and we'll march forward
to the next one.

There is nothing
more important than family.

I know that, but you have to work.

You have to work
to support the family.

I wanna work hard.

I need more challenges.

I wanna break through.

I will also always
think about the future.
