NARRATOR: This time on Heavy Rescue 401.

Ugh. She's chilly out here.

Big squalls...

Well, it's really snowing out now, isn't it?

..big slide.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop, stop.

We'll get 'er done as soon as possible.

Sonny rolls...

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

..with the punches...

..and a muddy ditch...

The further you can go, this is really dangerous.

..won't let go.

Hey. Yo, hold it. Stop.

Just last week, it looked like winter might be over.

But today, drivers in Toronto are waking up to a brutal surprise.

This winter weather is not giving up.

All of southern Ontario was getting hit by this system.

It comes in waves,

and it will continue right through the morning.

All of a sudden, a weather system comes through

causing wet roads, freezing roads,

and slippery conditions,

and drivers who aren't adjusting their driving accordingly

certainly can find themselves in a pretty tough situation.

Many people have already changed from winter tires to summer tires.

I thought winter was over,

but it looks like we may be in for an interesting day.

To the southwest,

traffic on the 402 is fighting through even worse conditions.

Heavy winds off of Lake Huron...

..are shooting bands of blinding squalls

across the highway.

It's getting a little bit hairy out here.

Just west of Strathroy,

Ross Services' Austin Hutchinson

heads into the worst-hit stretch of road.

There's always a chance

that the weather can pick up and get worse,

so the goal for us is obviously we want to try

and get in and get out as quick as we can.

Lead op Mike Ross is already on scene, setting up

and they might not have much time.

The squalls have been off and on all day,

so we don't want to get hit with another squall out here.

Alright.

We got a pretty bad ditch to deal with.

We got two ditches,

we got one going down and one going up,

so twice as much fun.

That's pretty aggressive right there.

Up's the same either way, but this is pretty hefty here.

Looking at this thing, you would have thought

that he would have flopped it as soon as he hit the first ditch.

It's a pretty steep grade here,

and then to make it up the second grade loaded

without flopping it back the other way,

I'm kind of impressed.

Getting it back to the road upright will be tough...

I don't know if we can pull 'er open or not.

I tried. It's jammed pretty good.

..and before they can even begin...

Weather's really changed.

..the next squall is right on top of them.

Ugh. Chilly out here.

It became winter very quickly.

Boy, it's really snowing out now, isn't it?

It's snowing, it's blowing, it's windy,

and it's right in your face.

Oh, man, this just came out of nowhere.

Yeah, it's definitely changed, hasn't it?

In the last five minutes.

All of a sudden, this squall just came out of nowhere

and visibility got real bad.

Hoo.

We can maybe see 100 feet, if that.

That means trucks are coming up here,

and cars are coming up here from behind us,

and they can't see us until they get right up on us.

Constable Jeff Hare has to weigh the urgency of the job

against the safety of the crew.

This really changed in the last ten minutes here.

The recovery is on hold.

Let's get outta here.

I don't enjoy leaving wrecks on the side of the road.

If I show up to something, I want to get there,

I want to start and I want to finish it.

250 miles east...

..weather west of Belleville has been far less severe...

..but there's still serious damage on the eastbound 401.

If it had been a trailer, it would have been broken apart.

The truck was hauling a container, or sea can, which held together...

I'm seeing this container chassis, on its side, down an embankment.

..but McCaffrey's Towing owner Kim Reid

is still facing a tough upright.

It's heavy.

Sea cans are extremely strong,

and this one was bowed out pretty good on the top.

The truck was navigating the ramp when it lost control,

and the heavily loaded container toppled...

..smashing into the ditch.

I'm guessing the driver needed a new pair of pants

when he was done that ride.

With a full load in the sea can, Kim's called in some backup...

That's over a long way, eh? Yeah.

..B&G, led by Bill Wright.

We've worked a couple jobs with Bill, he's been fantastic,

so we brought the rotator in

so that we wouldn't have to unload the cargo.

That cargo is a mystery.

The guys didn't have a bill of lading or a manifest.

They don't have a clue what they're hauling.

I have no idea what we are working with right now.

I have no idea what the weight is.

Bill and I are essentially working blind.

Could be as much as, you know, 60,000 pounds in that can.

Yeah. Exactly.

Wow, this is going to be a big deal.

Yeah, the trailer's, like, compromised.

The roof is bowed way out.

Back corner's kinked.

As far as being able to pull it up loaded

without any assistance other than the straps,

you know, it's a chance that I'm not willing to take.

I think this is gonna be a good job for the air bags.

Bill's air cushions might be able to help lift the container

loaded and intact.

I think we slide it right up like here, basically.

But first the two crews need to slide it onto level ground.

Alright, where's the McCaffrey truck?

Get her in here.

Up and over the wheel? Yeap.

Yellow's locked. Locked?

Yeah.

Give 'er a little pull, this side at the same time.

If you don't have the boom at the right angle

and just get the right amount of lift,

it will dig into the side of the bank.

Stop, yeah, stop on the trailer.

The unknown weight is pushing right down on the roof.

Bring the tractor, Russ.

Even this first step is proving too much for the winches.

Not too much on that tractor, Russ.

His winch cables are screaming and yelling.

There's a lot of things that could go wrong at this point.

Pull a bit, Russ.

What the hell?

Can you boom down, Shane?

Get a little director pull off your truck?

I'm just going to have to move to the other side of my truck.

McCaffrey's operator Shane

adjusts his boom to try for a better angle.

Bring it up, Russ.

There you go, there you go.

Yep, she's starting to crest the top of the hill here.

I'm good with that.

We've got the trailer up on the pavement like we wanted.

We've got a situation now where we can get behind the trailer

and we get the airbags started.

But the lift just got more complicated.

The mounts and everything are all ripped off.

The sea containers are secured to the chassis

with a locking twist pin on each corner.

Two of them were broken off.

The container won't stay connected to the chassis

if they try to lift them together.

This chassis is gonna come off like nothin'.

Their plan was to roll the chassis

and the sea can together.

That's not good.

Now we can't bring it up as one unit.

It has to come out as two.

It means more time, more rigging.

Going to be a pain in the ass.

Back near Strathroy,

the blast of snow has finally blown through...

..time for a second crack at the stranded semi.

We're back on scene here.

Obviously the squalls have come in and out.

We're hopeful that we're going to get this

transport out of here safely.

It's crucial we get this out of here quickly

before another squall rolls in.

Alright.

Do we want to try and scooch it down?

I'm going to grab the suspension,

and I think we'll just drag it sideways down the hill.

Mike and Austin need to coax the 80,000 pound transport...

OK.

..down one side of the ditch and up the other.

Tighten it up.

What do you think?

Very slowly, one at a time.

We have to be very careful with this

because it could take off and go south very quickly.

Drag it sideways, yeah.

She's coming.

I don't like that.

Oh, oh, oh.

Whoa. Stop, stop, stop.

Well, that didn't take much.

Every situation is different, so it's always a learning curve.

You give it a good tug to get it to come sideways,

with it on snow, it ends up being like a toboggan.

They'll need to rerig to the front to pull the truck up to the road.

Why don't you just move ahead and start pulling him out?

Got her down one incline, we just gotta go up the next.

But hooking to the front...

There we go.

..comes with an extra hurdle.

Unfortunately, it has a rabbit bumper on it.

The rabbit bumper is your worst nightmare

in this situation.

The bumper severely limits the rigging points.

It's a pain in the ass.

They're not fun to deal with,

because it does not take much to pull them off.

They're not strong, they're in the way,

and they bolt directly through

where your tow pins would bolt onto this truck,

so it definitely is going to pose a big challenge here.

Snug this up, Austin.

We don't have a choice.

It's got to come out.

Watch your fingers.

OK, ready? Go watch your tow pins.

OK.

It's moving.

This thing's fighting.

Come on.

It's just fighting.

Well, we made it this far out of the ditch

without losing the rabbit bumper, so we're just about there.

OK, put your brakes on.

That's it.

Well, we got her.

Finally out of the ditch.

And with no damage to truck or trailer.

This guy's driving home tonight.

God, that makes me happy.

As the winter comes to an end,

the Ross rotator ops are just getting started as a team.

We know what our job is and we just go about doing it.

He's very confident in my abilities as an operator,

and obviously, I feel the same way towards him.

Yeah, bud.

We always win.

On 401 the near Belleville, the off-ramp is still shut down.

We figured we'd be outta here by noon today,

but it is what it is.

Crews have towed away the container chassis,

but the container itself is a much bigger problem.

The biggest challenge we have right now

is the unknown of what it weighs.

Go up on one.

The airbags are fairly new for us.

We've done some smaller stuff with them,

but the heavier it gets, the trickier it gets.

We got to get as many bags in as we can

so we share the weight evenly.

Bill and crew have never used the air cushions

on a container without its wheels.

Using these bags on a flat bottom is a total new situation for me.

The flat bottom may create a situation where

this container's gonna land really hard.

So Bill needs to soften the landing.

As the air bags lift the sea can,

two cone-shaped catch bags

will be ready to cushion the container

when it hits the ground.

We gotta get the catch bags ready, 'cause when it goes...

Oh, it's gone. ..it's going to go hard.

I'm a guy that believes in doing it at home

or at the yard, you know, prior to doing it in the field,

but sometimes you get in the field,

and it's a situation you didn't get to practice at home,

or it's new, or it's different, and you go with it.

We gotta be really careful this doesn't spit

these catch bags out.

Oh, big time.

These catch bags are designed to have tires come down on them

and hook into them.

They're not really designed to catch a flat surface.

To keep the bags in place,

operator Russ Kroon will need a crew member to hold each one.

Alls I want you to do is just hold this bag.

Once it starts coming over, get the heck outta here.

Yeah, OK. OK?

Two guys holding the airbags, very, very nerve-racking.

You don't want to have somebody standing in a position

where they could be crushed.

Let me take it.

You just stay with me until I start to run out.

Yeah.

This is the one of the first recoveries that I'm doing

running the rotator itself.

Don't get ahead of me, Russ.

I'm just on edge right now.

You should be here where you can see your cable.

Can't say I'm not nervous for those bags coming out.

Just get ready to yell at those guys to move.

Make sure it's got that bag hooked.

Tighten up, Russ. Tighten up.

Slow, slow, slow, slow.

Make sure it's got that bag hooked.

On the 401 west of Belleville...

Get ready to yell at those guys to move.

..two heavy crews are trying to pull off a job

unlike any they've tackled before.

It's the first time we've used the catch bags

on a flat bottom surface.

Here, c'mon back.

Nerves are pretty high right now.

Tighten up, Russ. Tighten up.

Boom up. Slow, slow, slow, slow.

Hold that in there still. There she goes.

Boom down, Russ, as soon as it starts to go.

Woo-hoo.

Nice.

Nice job.

That was one of the nicest rollovers I've ever seen in my life.

It was just unbelievable. What a weight off my shoulders.

They are a cool tool, eh? That was awesome, yeah.

That worked good, eh?

That was a whole lot better than unloading it.

With the container safely upright...

OK, open it up, see what it is.

..Kim can finally solve the mystery of what's inside.

Smells citrusy.

It's a load of grapefruits.

I love heavy recovery.

It can be -45 degrees outside and miserable weather,

and you could be freezing your butt off

and you're still having fun.

I need somebody heavier than me.

I don't have enough oomph in my hip.

Enough what?

Oomph.

One to each corner.

I am a heavy recovery guy

and that's what I love to do every day.

It's the self-satisfaction of being able to go somewhere,

and be accepted as the guy that's going to make a difference.

31,000 on the scale, one end.

Wow.

And Bill's love for this life

is making a painful decision even tougher.

B&G Towing has been a family-operated business

since the early '60s.

Between my brother, myself, my children,

it's a way of life for us. It's not work.

This is what we do.

With an offer on the table to buy his heavy fleet,

Bill is still struggling to find his response.

The future, it's a little bit unknown at this time.

A good job, everybody's going home and the grapefruit have survived.

As the week pushes on,

a record-breaking warm front pushes out the winter weather.

But bad decisions can cause trouble on the road in any weather.

So just east of London, the OPP is out to send a message.

Alright, we're on the westbound from Tower Line.

Two OPP constables hidden in an unmarked van

are on the lookout for distracted drivers.

Speed up to this guy here... Yeah.

..and take a look at him.

When you're operating a motor vehicle,

your full attention has to be on driving.

You need to have both hands on the wheel.

You need to have your eyes open.

You know, it just takes a collective effort

to change behaviours on the highways.

Hold up, oh, yeah, I got one right here.

Alright, we got a white pickup truck pulling a white trailer.

We're just going underneath Highway 19 right now.

Just up ahead...

94, I got ya.

..constable Richard Trgovevic is ready.

OK, sir, the reason for the stop

is you were observed with a cell phone in your hand

and manipulating it, OK?

So you are going to be charged with a cell phone offence.

That's for you to talk about with the courts

if you don't agree with the charge.

There was a van beside you and observed you with it,

so you are going to get a ticket for the cell phone today, OK?

So not only do you get the ticket here at the scene,

you also get your driver's license suspended for three days,

and then you have to get a reinstatement fee.

It's obviously extremely serious.

That's why we have these punishments in place.

We have to deter this type of behaviour.

But for now, the patrol...

Speed up a hair.

..will continue.

When we get distracted,

we make mistakes, and when you make mistakes,

then bad things happen,

so that's the reason why we're out here

trying to make sure that people are getting

to where they're going safely.

125 miles southwest...

..weather around Windsor is only getting warmer

and roads are dry and clear...

Alright, let's go.

..but Eric Goddard is heading to a major scene.

We are headed out now to get a loaded tractor

and two trailers that had a collision today

at an intersection involved with a minivan.

For this job, Derek Didone Sr and his crew

won't have to travel far.

The wreck's out on one of the concession roads out here.

It's about five minutes away.

We're going to roll out to it and see what we got going on.

30 seconds out, guys.

Oh, boy.

Damn.

She's ugly.

Arriving here, it pretty quickly tells a tale, alright.

We have a truck and two trailers in the ditch.

The impact is obvious.

The load scattered across peoples' yards

and the passenger vehicle's pretty much destroyed.

And word has come in from the hospital...

..the minivan's driver has not survived.

You try to just go ahead and do what you're hired to do,

but it's always in the back of your mind that,

you know, there's a family somewhere

that is going to be missing a family member

not coming home today because of this, right?

But for now, the crew must focus on the tough job ahead.

That side of the truck is literally,

see how the mud's right here?

Up to the wheel?

On the other side, it's up to the top of the trailer.

You've got that much weight in soft, murky mud and water.

The truck's just gonna keep sinking, and sinking, and sinking.

That's a big pull right there.

Front axle is probably busted out of it.

For sure it's busted on the right side.

It's going to be like a giant suction cup, right?

It's probably a good ten foot ditch.

The tractor and both the B-trains

are sunk right down into the water and mud.

There'll be a lot of resistance factor there.

We're going to have to get wet and muddy.

Oh, boy, that's crazy.

Oh, boy, that's crazy.

That's a big pull right there.

On a country road north of Harrow...

It's going to be like a giant suction cup, right?

..the County crew is facing a messy spill and heavy resistance...

We gotta get this thing as light as we can.

..and the load of soybeans

is making that resistance worse by the minute.

The biggest concern for us,

obviously, is what's still in the trailer.

Sitting in that water,

those beans are just soaking up water, right?

So the longer it sits, the heavier it gets.

You need it right empty?

The more, the merrier.

Ethan? Seems to be OK as long as we stay on the heavy?

Yeah.

Senior's 15-year-old grandson, Ethan, is doing his part.

This is one of the biggest recoveries I've been called out to.

They're going to need as much help as possible

and I'm gonna be the one there to help out.

They're wheelbarrowing all the load back to the hopper

and then as quick as they put it in, he's taking it out.

When the load is gone, then our job really starts,

getting this thing out of the ditch.

It's a lot of work.

A tedious process, but gotta get her done.

250 miles northeast...

..spring weather has settled over Toronto...

McCowan itself is completely blocked.

..but on the eastern edge of the city,

sergeant Kerry Schmidt rolls up on a messy scene.

Wow, what a mess.

We're not dealing with winter weather,

but we're now dealing with bad driving.

Traffic is building and we've got heavy delays here.

Time is of the essence.

Afternoon rush hour, everyone's trying to get home,

the quicker we get this cleaned up, the better it will be for everybody.

Those are massive rolls of paper.

Cleaning it up requires moving the cargo,

five industrial rolls of paper

close to 10,000 pounds each.

OK, ready? Let's go.

Sonny Subra is looking at a very awkward offload

on a very busy ramp.

Middle of the city and rush hour is coming up,

so we'll get 'er done soon as possible.

It's been a tough winter

fighting to build Prompt's heavy division.

Long hours away from his son.

It's really hard.

We are up day and night trying to survive

but whatever it comes, we trying to get it.

Today he's teamed up with a crew from AZ Towing for this urgent job.

We don't have time,

we got to get this moving right away.

OK, OK, OK.

OK, we gonna do that, then.

They're going to try to rig up these rolls

and get them out safely and securely,

but if anything was to shift

and those rolls of paper begin to move,

they're going to start rolling downhill

and that paper will just keep going, right onto the highway.

And the heavy rolls are not designed for easy rigging.

Go, go, go, go.

Yeah, it's sliding.

Hold on, hold on. Everybody move, everybody move.

It is really danger to dealing with this kind of heavy weight,

because if something break, it's going to hit one of our guys.

Yeah, go, go, go, go, go.

Sonny, careful, eh? It can roll back on your side.

That's it.

That's it. That's it. Stop.

So far, the system is working,

but the final piece is much more challenging.

Always last one give us the trouble.

This is a tough one. This one is sitting on the,

all the way the back of the trailer,

and then it's sitting in a kind of angle,

so we gonna to have a hard time putting a strap underneath.

So Sonny wants to shift it into place from the outside.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it's gonna roll on the strap,

and then we gonna put the strap and shackles and pull it out.

That's the main plan.

Roll it. Tilt it, tilt it.

Tilt it.

Push, push, push. Tell him to push.

It's a tight space to work with no easy escape.

Push, push.

OK, stay like that, OK?

If the paper roll, roll back, and then the side of the wall,

you gonna get pinched.

You could die.

Careful.

Myself, I want to go do it

because I know I can get out quickly.

The strap is in place,

but they can't predict how the roll will shift...

OK, back.

..once they pull out the forks.

OK, ready? Let it go.

OK, good, go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Indeed, the ramp is still closed.

OK, back.

On a ramp at the eastern end of Toronto...

OK, ready?

..two crews are trying to safely shift

almost 10,000 pounds of paper.

OK, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

The loader fork slipped.

Get it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

The paper roll started to roll back again,

and then I was really scared.

It had a chance to roll into the highway.

I'm really lucky it stopped.

Beautiful.

And the plan has paid off.

The strap is in place under the roll.

Chain is ready.

Now they need to pull it out and get the semi upright

before commuters flood the 401.

Winch. OK, let's go out.

And try it.

We are feeling the pressure because we got to open this highway.

This thing's got to move very fast.

Yeah, we got it, we got it.

So now we have to be quick and rapid,

rolled over and upright and go.

The wrecker and rotator will lift together

with AZ's wrecker ready to catch.

Tight it up.

Both crews need to time the move just right for a gentle landing.

If we don't work as a one team, it's gonna be a mess.

Ready?

Let me know.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Behind me. OK.

Not in front of me, OK? OK.

He wants the trailer first and the tractor second.

Nice work.

Awesome.

It's come down soft and easy, and then got it done.

Hey, hey, good job, guys, yeah, we got it.

Good job, good job.

That's a nice one, nice big rollover.

Sonny ends a difficult winter with a success...

Let's hook it up and go.

..but can he take another winter of fighting for every job?

The family is the first thing for me,

before anything comes, so, like,

I am really thinking to slow down on the work a little bit,

and I put more time with the family,

and look after my son, and everything,

so, like, things getting changed right now.

So Sonny doesn't know where he'll be

when the snow flies again.

Sometimes you gotta just look for your interests

and your family...

..and just move on.

Good things will happen.

They're going to pull the tractors out now.

Back near Harrow,

the County team is finally finished with the soybeans.

We've been waiting a good two or three hours for the offload.

We're going to get hooked up, rig the hell out of it

and pull, and see what we got.

But as the wreckers move into place,

the lengthy offload has come at a heavy cost.

Now we're stuck in this position to do a rather tricky recovery

in very little time before it gets dark.

It's crunch time.

You're good.

Kind of like a symphony going on.

Two wreckers will pull on the tractor

while Senior's wrecker and Eric's rotator

wrench the two trailers up the bank.

Feed it to me, I'll take it this way.

The mud will create intense resistance

once they start pulling,

but the wet conditions are already causing problems.

I've never seen a truck deeper in the mud than this.

We're dealing with so much mud pack

that there's nothing really we can do but dig and dig and dig.

She's a messy job, that's for sure.

Oh, that water's cold.

How cold is it?

It's real cold.

Slipping in the water.

Son of a bitch.

We're going to need a second rotator to get me out of this hole.

I love my job. I love my job.

I thought I was smart, I had my fire boots,

but those didn't really help.

I'm getting too old for this crap.

Rigging up is a struggle for the entire crew,

but no one more than Eric.

Sometimes I forget the kind of shape that my knees

and stuff are in, and I go up and down and up and down,

and at some point, I'm asking for help to get me out of the ditch.

OK.

It's going to be a big pull.

It's not every day you got that many lines on,

but with this one here, we're going to need 'em.

Alright, let's go.

OK, Senior, go ahead, I'm with ya.

The amount of mud coming up out of the ditch is unbelievable.

It's almost like trying to push a marble through a brick wall.

We gotta get that tractor coming up.

Until they can break through that wall and pull it upward...

That tractor coming up yet?

..the truck will just keep rolling along the edge.

It's tracking.

We really need to get the thing coming up out of that ditch,

or Senior and I are going to be in a position

where we're not going to be able to hold these trailers any longer.

We don't want to walk this down the ditch, eh?

That's what's going to happen if we don't get her coming soon.

We want the tractor to come up, but as you can see,

we're just walking down the ditch

and that's what we don't want to happen.

Why don't you hold it? I'll stop.

Hey. Yo, hold it. Stop.

The tractor's just diving in, eh?

On the edge of a country road...

We got to get the front end of that tractor swung up.

..the County crew can't break the soybean truck

free of the muddy ditch.

We don't want to just walk this thing down the ditch

for three miles. We need it to come out.

They somehow need to aim the truck toward the road.

OK, why don't I just jump the line right there?

Yes. Definitely.

We're going to run a line off the rotator

to get that front end of the tractor to start coming up out of the ditch.

I call it jackknifing it out.

You want to literally grab the front of that truck

and spin it so it's facing the road.

OK, you all set?

We're good, Senior.

But jackknifing the tractor

will still require forcing it sideways

through the wall of mud.

Hopefully it comes around

before the amount of force is required

that actually is gonna break something or have something let go.

Ethan, the further you can go, this is really dangerous, this one.

Look at the mud this is bringing.

She's groaning.

The truck is finally heading the right way,

but for the next stretch...

Hold on, guys. Everybody hold.

..Eric is handing over the controls.

Ethan, you want to do it?

OK, you just gotta make sure you listen to me.

I actually try to let Ethan work the trucks quite often,

as long as you can stay there with him and make sure he's safe.

Put one leg up on here, so if the truck slides,

you gotta slide with it, it won't land on ya.

OK, Senior, you ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

OK, let's do it, guys.

I've never operated a heavy truck on a wreck like this before.

Big rush of excitement to do something like that

but you can't let it take control of you.

You need to focus on what you're doing.

Keep 'em tight, get that yellow one tight,

look at that yellow one.

Easy on the...

Nope, you gotta keep that one tight, buddy,

you gotta stay tight on that one.

OK, guys, hold on, everybody hold.

Senior, me and you, you want to bring it up?

Yeap.

That's going to do 'er.

OK, she's up.

It's a victory for the crew, including their newest member.

This younger generation,

it's really important that they have that exposure

and that they learn from it so that, years from now,

guys like Ethan will be the ones taking this kind of work on.

And all winter,

Eric has been wondering how many more years

on the road he has ahead.

My legs are on fire.

I never really feel a whole lot while I'm working.

By the time I get home,

and I realise how stiff and sore I am,

I realise I should have took it a little easier.

I think you'll be alright there.

I think, really, that, you know,

my issues are really just a product of what I do.

It's just weird, so it hurts up here,

numb down here,

so I gotta start getting some things fixed, or,

or retire young. One of the two, I guess.

There's a lot to ponder over the summer,

but tonight, it's just time for a rest.

Job well done for sure.

So, we wanted to get out of here before dark.

We got about 15 minutes left before it's pitch black.

Trailers are gone,

I'm ready to roll out with the tractor.

It's time to go home.
