All language subtitles for Heavy Rescue 401 S06 E13_track3_[und]

COLLIN: Well, this is interesting.

NARRATOR: This time
on Heavy Rescue 401...

That's ugly.
..Collin leads the team...

Oh, she's on a heck of a lean...

..to new heights.

Be careful up there.
I am.

You watch the trailer,
I'll watch the truck.

A hard pull...

He's up in the air pretty good.

..pushes John...

Whoa. I've never even
seen them all together.

..and a bittersweet goodbye at B&G.

I just need a hug.

After months of frigid conditions...

..warm weather has finally taken
hold for drivers in Toronto...

..but just 60 miles north,
winter isn't giving up, just yet.

RADIO PRESENTER: On the 400,
a very different story,

we have some very strong winds

whipping up
some whiteout conditions.

Winds blowing off of Georgian Bay

are blowing heavy squalls
right across Highway 400.

It goes from beautiful conditions

to complete whiteout conditions
in an instant.

Sergeant Kerry Schmidt

is heading straight into
the worst-hit stretch of highway.

This is a very common area
where we get blowing snow

when snow streamers are coming
off of Georgian Bay,

and that's scary,
because drivers may not expect

or understand what they're
getting themselves into,

and by the time they enter
into this area,

they may not be able
to stop within the distance

that they can actually
have visibility.

Any sudden moves or stops
could set off a chain reaction.

Whoa.

That pickup truck just started
coming into the lanes, there.

Very dangerous situation,
and in these kinds of environments,

the drivers have to be able to
drive according to these conditions,

because all of a sudden,

you come across stopped traffic
in blowing snow,

there's nowhere for you to go.

OK, here we are.

Ten miles south of Barrie,

drivers are stuck behind the site
of a multi-vehicle crash.

Wow, it's windy.

You can't see a thing.

There's a police car
20 feet from me,

and you can barely see the shadow.

We'll get you out of here
if you can just stay put.

Thanks, guys.

Local OPP inspector,
Laurie Taylor-Bolton,

has been managing
a chaotic scene.

We had a multi-vehicle crash
in whiteout conditions,

here, on the 400 southbound,

so we're just trying to coordinate

to get all these vehicles
out of here.

Most of the damaged vehicles
have been cleared...

So, this is the last vehicle?
Yeah.

..but the road
is far from ready for traffic.

Where we're standing right now
is where all the collisions were.

There's plastic debris,
metal debris, vehicle debris.

If we have people go through this,

and then they get
a whole bunch of flat tires,

and people disabled in bad weather,
that's not good either, so...

Yeah.

The debris is only half the problem.

Snow has built up, and ploughs
are stuck behind the backlog.

Until the ploughs get in,

none of the stuck drivers
are getting out.

Some of the vehicles
at the front of this wreck

have probably been sitting here
for three or four hours, already.

Their patience is running dry.

Our issue right now is to get
the ploughs to the scene.

We can't get them from the north

because traffic
is still backed up,

there's no access for them
to get around that area.

So, Inspector Taylor-Bolton

has called them
from the other direction...

..driving the wrong way.

The ploughs have arrived.

There's a whole crew
of ploughs here.

This is exactly
what we've been waiting for.

They're going to turn around.

What we're trying to do
is get this highway reopened.

We have two fire trucks, right?

Now it's up to the inspector
to coordinate the quickest,

but safest exit
for the trapped drivers.

So, we're just getting fire
set up here to get them around,

and then, we'll start leading
these people through.

OK, sounds good.
So, OK, good?

We're going to put one here,

and the other one up there
to make them S-curve around it

just to keep 'em slow,

'cause this is
the most slippery area.

It's nice to have leadership there

to work out the co-ordinations
with all the emergency services.

OK, guys, you're leading
the conga here so be safe.

Whew.

And we finally had traffic
moving again.

There we go.

Good job, people.

As afternoon turns to night,

the cold keeps its grip
on the region north of Toronto...

Pretty major accident, here.

..and John Allen is heading to a
call further east up Highway 12...

Lincoln.

..but where John
really wants to be tonight...

I'm stuck.

..is home with his biggest fan,
his grandson.

Why don't we use your monster truck?

Lincoln loves, you know,
the whole tow truck thing.

He's always doing little recoveries.

OK, pull.

A lot of times, I'm gone to work
before the grandson wakes up,

and I get home
after he's gone to bed,

so I always look forward
to my papa-grandson time together.

Yes, yes.
OK, Linc, you did it.

I did it. Yay.
You did it.

I can see him following
in my footsteps.

Gimme five.
High five, yeah. Good job.

Yeah. I did it.
I work a lot of hours.

There's high risk at our job,

and I got to take advantage
of having that family time.

I did it, Papa. Yup.

And tonight, there's a driver
who won't be making it home.

Truck was going northbound,

car's coming southbound,
and they collided.

We've had a fatality, here,
which is really unfortunate.

The person in the car
didn't make it,

you know, I feel for him,
his family...

This guy come in hard and fast.

The impact ripped the front axle
from the scrap haulier,

and sent it crashing
down in the ditch.

This thing has 40 tonnes
of scrap metal in it.

Most of it's all over
the ditch, here.

Probably still dealing with,

you know, 30, 40,000 pound load,
right?

We're pushing 100,000 pounds
that has to be uprighted

and pulled out of the ditch.

There, that's good.

Ah, it's messier than I thought,
that's for sure.

John and the Abrams Towing crew

are working alongside Dan Steinhauer
from Jim's Towing.

Tonight, his guys are tied up,

so, you know, right away,
he thought, "Let's call Abrams."

I'm going to set my truck up
in the middle, here...

John is kind of a mentor
from a different company,

and this is not
a small job, by any means.

I can pull the entire trailer up,
'cause you know what,

there is no front axle to spike,

and while I'm holding it,
I can also...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
..give it a pull-out.

OK.
Right?

They'll rig two lines
from John's rotator

over the partially loaded trailer,
and attempt to pull it upright.

So, what do you want,
pull it that way?

I want the block to come up
around the edge.

Walk it this way, Dan,
where it's at, there.

We're probably still
up in the 100,000-pound area.

I've got rigging around
the back of the trailer,

around the front of the trailer,
plus the weight of the tractor.

You know, it's a huge pull.

Now we're going to take this line,
I'm going to pass it up to you

we're going to do the same thing
in the front corner.

OK.
OK?

Yeah.

It will be a workout
for John's rotator...

We're gonna put this thing
through its paces, tonight.

OK, I'm going to snug it up.

Come on down, Dan.

Better keep an eye on my truck.

You watch the trailer,
I'll watch the truck.

And right away, it's clear...

No, no, no, no.

..the only thing moving
is John's truck.

He's up in the air pretty good.

I've never seen that much gap.

Normally it's a couple of inches
or something like that.

We're talking feet.

To see a wrecker standing up
on its rear outriggers...

Holy moly.

..it's one of two things.

It's either a guy that has
no clue what he's doing...

..or it's a guy
that knows what he's doing,

and he's pushing the limits.

Whoa.

No, no, no, no.

He's up in the air pretty good.

North of Oshawa, on Highway 12...

Whoa.

..John Allen's rotator,
and his recovery, are up in the air.

This is one of them things

where I know I'm right
on the limits of what I'm doing,

and things are
kind of teeter-tottering.

I'm gonna tighten up that back one.

As you get the load coming up,
the truck will set back down.

Whee.

That came over nice.
It did.

Good work, guys.

Now, they just need to pull it
out of the ditch

without letting it
topple back over.

I'm going to follow the truck
as he's pulling it out.

Whoa.

I think we're out where I don't have
to hold it no more.

This job went well.
I like working with John.

I'll work with John any other day.

Yeah, it was a little tough, cold.

It was in the ground,
the ground's frozen,

but you know,
we got 'er done.

And now John is ready for a break,

and some time with his favourite
operator-in-training.

It's been a busy week out here.

I'm looking forward
to this weekend off.

You know, I've got some grandson
stuff to do this weekend.

You know, we just have a blast.

Truck is gone, job well done.

I'm off to bed.

220 miles southwest,

a new day brings clear skies
over Highway 402.

It's a welcome sign after
a late blast of winter, yesterday.

But that weather
has left its mark.

So, Gary Vandenheuvel
is going to work.

Yeah, yesterday was a crazy day,
all the snow.

Today's clean-up day.

With multiple jobs waiting,

he and his son, Collin, will need
to divide up the recoveries.

We're heading out to two trucks
that are tangled up pretty good.

One's on its side, and the other
one's jackknifed into it.

This could be a good fight.

Well, this is interesting.

This one's a bit of a tight
quarters situation.

I've never seen anything
like this before.

There's a lot of damage, here.

Ouch.

After one semi rolled in the ditch,
the second truck lost control,

slid off the road, and slammed
right into the first truck.

That's in there pretty good.

It's certainly deep.

Veteran op, Glen Hobman,
will help clear the mess.

I gotta run.

I got a dump truck in the ditch,
so you guys are on your own.

Gary is counting on Collin
to take charge,

part of his evolving role
in the company.

He's a younger guy.

These guys have, obviously,

a few more miles behind them
than he does,

so I'm sure it's a little difficult
for them to listen to that,

but I'm sure that they still
do respect his knowledge,

and where
he's come from on this.

OK, guys, I'm outta here.

It leaves Glen and I
up to the challenge

of getting this up and out
by ourselves.

You know, that is definitely
a little bit of extra pressure.

Alright, what are you thinking?

You know what, I do kinda wanna come
up with my own ideas on this one,

but Glen does have
a little bit more experience.

We have to get it coming
up and out, first,

to get the trailer
away from this.

Collin wants to start with
the semi that's still upright...

If we can get the front
of the trailer up,

you know, about five feet,

we're gonna be clear
of that landing gear,

and then I can grab
the back end with the rotator,

and I can pull that trailer
around, I think.

I'll have no leverage whatsoever

if we're doing
a side-pull like that.

I know, that's kinda
where I'm a little worried.

The angle of this ditch
is fairly steep.

It's gonna be a hard angle
off the back of my truck,

'cause I wanna be able
to winch this tractor,

basically, directly up the hill.

..and the angle
is only the first problem.

You gonna try to get along the rail?
Yeah.

Because this thing sat all night,

it's actually sunk
down into the mud.

Oh, yeah, look at that.
That's all frozen, rock solid.

So that's gonna cause
a little extra resistance

when we go to pull this out.

Yeah, it's a mess down here.

Glen's wrecker is hooked up
on the front

with Collin's rotator
on the back.

That's probably good, there, Glen.

They'll need to break the grip
of the frozen mud.

This'll be fun.

OK, you ready, Glen?

He's going to put a little bit
of pull on it,

and then I'm gonna put
a little bit of pull on it,

and we're gonna see
which way this thing wants to turn.

Hey, Glen, watch your truck.

Wow.

That's it?

It's fighting us quite hard.

I'm floating'.

We keep pulling on this,

and something goes wrong
in a critical spot,

this can go south really quick.

Tearing the strap.

Tearing the strap?
Yeah.

Right at the corner.

Oh, ho, ho...

You want a fight?

Tearing the strap.

Tearing the strap?

On the edge of Highway 402...

Right at the corner.

..the heavy pull is ripping through
Collin's rigging.

This one's really fighting us.

It's putting up a lot of resistance
with the mud and the ice,

and everything being frozen in.

OK.

Collin re-rigs with some protection
for the new strap...

Alright, tighten 'er up.

There we go.

..while Glen repositions
closer to the ditch...

Alright, ready to try again?
Yeah.

How is it?
Keep going, keep going.

..but as they make
a second attempt...

You are gonna fight.

..Glen sees that they're pulling
more than just the upright semi.

Collin?
We're hooked.

What we've discovered, now,
is as I'm trying to pull,

I'm trying to basically
pull both trailers together.

Yep.

It kinda locked itself
into the landing gear,

making a nice little
puzzle for us.

You know, my dad's not here
on this one,

so I really want to prove to him

that we can get this done
without him, here.

If I can grab that back end,
and swing it,

it's going to pivot away, too,
if I can swing the back end, right?

Yeah.
So, let's do that.

I'm going to pivot the back end
a little bit and get it moving.

So, if I can drag the back end of
this trailer close up to the road,

Glen can pull the front,

and it's actually going to pivot
the two pieces

away from that trailer.

Alright.

This isn't something you read
in a textbook...

It's clear, now. If I give it a
pull, she'll come right past it.

OK.

..this is just something that you
come up with as you go.

Well, we got 'er.
Perfect.

One down, one left to go, here.

And it's the one to go that
will be a much bigger challenge.

The next job is going
to be a big job.

It's gonna be a lot of fun.

There's no way the rotator's gonna
make it in here.

300 miles northeast,

Mitch Wright is heading to a job
that's far off any highway.

It's not my type of ice fishing.

Should've brought some snowshoes.

So today, we're at Chandos Lake,

where two snowmobiles have
breached through the ice,

and they're down
at the bottom of the lake.

Oh, there's Ron, there.

It's the first time Mitch
has ever attempted

this kind of rescue,

so he's teamed up
with local Ron Sutherland,

who's got experience and equipment.

I can't believe how well
that thing works.

Yeah, it's amazing.

OK, so let's go with this hole,
first, and see where are we at.

Finding the exact location
of the snowmobiles

may be a challenge.

He's got a ton of knowledge when it
comes to pulling snowmobiles up.

He's got underwater cameras,
and he's got certain tools that,

you know, are going to make
the job a lot easier.

What are you for depth there?
We're 30 feet.

30 feet, there.
Right to the bottom?

Right to the bottom.

The two riders escaped unharmed,

but they could only offer a very
rough estimate of the location.

Nothing, eh?
Nothing there.

We, maybe, have to go deep.

This is the trick, is finding it.

Yeah, I have a funny feeling

it's like, you're gonna be
right near it.

I think it's right here.

What the hell are we
doing wrong, here?

The biggest problem is, you know,

trying to actually locate
where the sleds went down.

It's kind of like a puzzle
we're trying to piece together.

The ice looks a little funky like,
right here, to be honest with you.

It's just aug the holes out,
drop the camera in,

see if we can't find it.

You know, aug another hole,
and another one,

and another one, another one,

until, you know, we find
what we're looking for.

Let's do one right here.

We'll do one back over there.

It's a real fishing expedition,
out here,

trying to find these sleds.

If I had to bet money,
I'm going to say it's right here.

I bet you 20 bucks it's right here.

Did you find it?
Yeah.

We're basically
right on top of it, now.

Oh, yeah, you're right, there.
Right on top of 'er.

Finally, we see the first sled.

You see the yellow kind of shine
on the camera,

and it's like,
we're in business.

They cut an access hole so they can
winch up the snowmobiles...

That's a big chunk of ice.

..but they won't risk driving
a tow truck onto the ice.

Bill's here.

So, the winch will be mounted
on a much smaller vehicle.

Pops.
Sir.

What's going on?
Not so much.

It's the first time
Mitch's father, Bill,

is seeing his son in action running
the company's new northern outpost.

We're going to give them
a little hand, here, some muscle.

I'm very proud of Mitch,
to see him in Bancroft,

using that as a place
of change for his life,

so, he's you know,
kind of, in a new area,

new people new surroundings,
new responsibilities.

I'm getting something, I think.

OK, yeah, come straight, go...
uh, lift up.

I'm tight.
Yeah, you are on it.

It's in there.

When he hears we're out,
and we're having some fun,

and we're playing with some sleds
in the water, he can't help himself.

Bill could use a fun distraction.

He's been chewing over an offer
to buy his heavy fleet.

Well, personally, for me, you know,
it's mixed emotions.

My dad started this business
more than 50 years ago.

I'm not ready to retire,

I'm not ready
to stop driving a wrecker,

and being a wrecker operator,
and a recovery guy,

but when you get a good offer
on the table, financially,

that works for you and your family
and your future, you know,

sometimes the decisions
get made for you

based on those circumstances.

Go right around the axle.

Now, the deadline is looming.

Bill will need to give a final
decision in the next week.

Alright.

That should do 'er.

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

This is what we do.
This is how we grew up.

This is what we were taught.

For today, at least, Bill can focus
on the unique job ahead.

It's all yours.

Good?
Yeah.

Just like that.

We get it close
to the surface, we'll stop.

I can see it.

First sled's coming up,
winch is pulling it up.

We're starting to actually
see the sled

come towards the surface,
through the water.

Oh, she's stalling out.

Rev it up.

I think we got a burnt-out winch.

You gotta be kidding me.

I think we have a problem, here.

There's not really any tension
around these four-wheeler winches,

so when the winch comes in,

it kind of hopped
the drum a little bit,

and got, like, wedged.
Hold on.

That's in there, dude.

There's not really
a way to get it out.

But working with his father
since he was a kid,

Mitch has learned a few tricks.

I'm going to get
the winch hooked to a tree

and see if I can't give it
a bit of a tug.

Brake's hard.

Man, no patience.

Give 'er a rip.

No go?

She broke.

It's been a long day.
We're getting tired.

You know, it's just frustrating.

Relax, dude.
You can't get worked up.

I can't.
I'm not doing it, right now.

RADIO: They're cleaning it up.
They're gonna be there for a while.

RADIO 2: Yeah, we're coming
to a slowdown.

Traffic is squeezing
onto the shoulder

on the 402 east of Sarnia.

Two jobs at the same time.

Alright.

Collin and Glen have slid
the semi onto more even ground.

I'm tired.

Well, we've got the trailer
shifted, right now.

It's gonna land
in a better spot for us,

and this way,
it's a little bit closer,

it's a little bit easier for us to
get the initial pick on this thing.

Glen will pull down on the tractor

while Collin uses two
straps from his rotator

to hold the trailer together
as he lifts it up.

But using just two straps might
not provide enough support.

If we can get it up with two straps,

and save us that extra time,
we're gonna go for it,

but it's a really risky move

because we can blow
the wall out doing this.

Alright, we good?

Yeah.

This trailer's making noises,

and we're just trying to hear
if it's going to come apart on us.

(BREAKING SOUND)

What was that?

Any loud noise is not a good sign
when you're recovering something.

Something inside.

That was just the load, actually,
falling back onto the floor

and getting off
of the wall,

so it was actually a good sign,
and not a bad sign.

Nice and easy, come on...

There we go.

The semi is up, but not stable.

How bad is it?

That entire load's
right at the front.

Oh, she's on a heck of a lean.

Where the second truck went in,

it pushed a lot of dirt and snow up,

and where
this second trailer has landed

is right on the snow pile,

which is making it
lean even further.

Wow.

Yeah, that's ugly.

That is really ugly.

Alright.

So, three of us get on
this and just...

Yeah.

Back on Chandos Lake,
south of Bancroft,

Mitch has re-joined the crew.

You know, it's just frustrating.

This job tends to throw a curve
ball at you once in a while.

Now, he needs to re-focus
and show his father

how he's grown up
during his months away.

This is a massive opportunity
for me up here in Bancroft.

I know I have a lot of eyes on me.

You know, I think some of them

are kind of waiting to see
if I mess it up.

And I'm going to crush it.

So, is the sled right now level?

That ski's over.

We gotta manhandle it

because we've, unfortunately,
the winch is not working

on the bike, anymore.

We're just old-school,
no winch, no nothing,

we're just absolutely trying
to drag these things up.

OK, let's try it.

One, two, three.

There we go. I got a ski up.

Alright.

Once it breaks surface,
keep 'er going.

OK.

Now, if you can lift
the back of that up...

I'm just going to try
to grab the ass end.

One, two, three.

Come on.

OK, you ready?
One, two, three.

Go.

We're sweating.

You know, we're pulling,
we're dragging.

It's just, it's brute force.

One more pull.

One, two.

One, two.

There, one out.

Whew.

Young man's game.

We're right on the nose
of the sled, here, now.

And they're only halfway done.

I think it's a four-stroker.

Oh, yeah, it is, too.

The second sled is actually what
they call a four-stroke snowmobile.

Much larger, much deeper,
much heavier.

Oh, up, there you go.
You're on.

You're in there good this time.

We'll keep this like this,

three or four guys lift on the rope,

tighten the cinch,
lift on the rope, tighten the cinch.

Ready?

Yeah. One, two, three.

Ready? One, two, three.

One, two, three...

You're on?

OK, so Bill and I just lift up
on these, and we should be golden.

Should be.
Should be. That's the key word.

Ready? One, two, three.

We're running out of ideas.

Three guys can't do this.

But growing up
in the family business,

Mitch learned, early on,
the value of improvising.

We got three strong dudes
over there.

We can ask them.

You guys want to come
give us a drag?

In the distance,
you could see a couple of guys

were kind of checking out
what we were doing,

and I think we're going
to put these boys to work.

Anything you can grab
onto to pull, you ready?

You want to go up on the arm.
One, two.

Go.

One, two, three.

There we go.

Ah, thanks, guys.

GUYS: No problem.
Beauty.

We think we've got it, and,
you know, we all kind of relaxed...

And the next thing you know, Bam.

There it goes.

Come on.

On a frozen lake south of Bancroft...

Just touched the ski, barely.

Way to go, bud.

..Mitch's snowmobile rescue
is sinking fast...

The sled went in probably
just over half back in,

with the ski tips pointing up...

..but this time, Mitch
is not storming off.

So, I ran over and grabbed a corner,
and luckily all together,

we got the thing dragged up
and onto the ice.

Let's get it right up
out of the hole.

There we go.

I got a sweet idea.

Let's drag it ahead
another six inches.

There you go.

We're just gonna get hooked
onto it with the four-wheeler,

drag 'em around,
get 'em brought up to the driveway

where a flatbed's going to meet us.

Mitch has stuck it out...

..on this job,
and through a demanding winter.

I do everything I can just
to make sure

that I'm becoming a better
person every single day,

whether I'm learning
something on recoveries,

or I'm learning something
about myself.

For his father, one achievement
surpasses all others...

When I left home, Mum asked me
to make a delivery.

..Mitch's continuing
commitment to sobriety.

This month is a year and a half.
Yeah.

Yeah, crazy. Time flies.

The pendant says, "Continued
strength, wisdom, and success."

It's been a weird couple of years,

so seeing him hand me that means
more than anything.

Only Mitch can walk
the road to recovery.

That's cool.
Yeah.

Mitch is very proud
of what he's done,

of his accomplishments,
and he should be.

OK, man, just take care, buddy.
Thanks.

They want me to continue
in the journey that I'm going in

and just keep taking
the next right step.

Let's make this happen.

Back on the 402, night is falling.

OK, up.

Everything's gotta play exactly
right on this.

Collin and Glen are ready to pull
the leaning trailer up to the road.

We're running out of time
on this one.

We only have a few more minutes
left, here, before the sun's gone.

I'm just going to have
to keep the boom low

to keep it from cutting.

That should hopefully give us
enough pull back over

that it's not going to want
to roll as we're coming up.

OK.

Hey, boss.

..and Collin will have someone
scrutinising his plan.

Is it leaning just
'cause of the angle, Coll,

or is it leaning
because of the load all shifted?

I'm coming in on scene.

I'm a fresh set of eyes,

but, you know, the guys have had
their challenges with this one.

What do you see on this?

I see that we're down low.

I would have liked
to be between here,

just to give it
that little extra.

Yeah.
It would be nice to be there.

I notice this back strap's not
holding the way we need it to hold.

It's actually going to roll
this trailer over,

so I need to halt things, here,

and hopefully,
that'll keep everything upright,

and get it out of the ditch.

I want another strap
over the top of it.

It's always nice to have
those extra little pointers.

I still have a lot to learn
in this industry,

and to have my dad there to
be able to show me what to do,

and, you know, to save me
from making catastrophic mistakes,

it's definitely,
it's a nice feeling.

But with the boom up,
they can't rig the extra strap.

We can't even get at your line.

So, in all the confusion,
I forgot to take an extra line down.

And with
the semi already teetering,

there's no way to safely
lower the boom.

Yeah, it doesn't feel nice, does it?
No.

You are going to fight me
all the way.

On the 402, Collin needs
another boom line...

..badly.

I want another strap
over the top of it.

I know.

But his boom is up in the air,

the only thing holding
up the leaning trailer.

I'm in a bad position, right now.

If I go up there, I can possibly
feed that line down.

OK.

If the boom can't come down,
there's only one option.

I'm gonna have to get up on the boom
to get another line.

Oh.

I made the silly mistake
to get the boom up in the air.

I'm the one up here getting
this line down,

because no one else should have
to clean up for my mistakes.

Be careful up there.
I am.

I don't like this, either.

I really do not like heights.

It is a very uncomfortable feeling,
being up here,

but I have to get this line down,

because there is no other way

we can do this without
this truck rolling over.

Especially with traffic blowing by,
you can feel the truck swaying.

There you go.

OK, can you get it
from there, Glen?

You gotta do what you
gotta do, out there,

so it shows that
he's resourceful enough,

and willing to tackle
what needs to be done.

But with the heavy lean
on the trailer,

even this added strap
might not be enough

to hold it upright
and in one piece.

OK.
OK, good to go.

Tighten it up.

You're good.

OK, let's get this thing
out of the ditch.

It's looking better, now.

Got that trailer sitting back
on the ground, that's what we want.

Six hours after his battle started...

There ya go.

..Collin has led
the crew to victory...

We got that strap on, and it just...

..stayed up nice, thankfully.

Good.

Jobs like this and days like this,
it takes a lot out of ya.

Good job, though, wasn't it?

Yeah, it, this one really wanted
to play games, so...

That's part of it, bud.
Yeah.

They'll fight ya, sometimes.

It's nice to see him taking
that leadership role,

and being able to step up.

It's just part of him growing
within this company.

This is my career.

This is my path, and I feel like
I've come a long way

since I've started.

It's really special to be able
to work with your family,

work with your son, grow a business,

and watch this all develop
to what it has.

It's something special.

That's a fair amount of iron.

It's the start of a new day
in Courtice....

Do you think it would look better

if they were staggered
down the building?

Facing this way.
Yeah.

..and the end of an era
at B&G Towing.

We're just having
a little get-together.

We're bringing all the trucks
from all branches down.

Some of the wreckers are moving on
to other homes this week.

Bill is assembling his entire fleet
one last time for a special photo.

He's made the hard call.

It's one of those things, you know,

it's good timing,
and it's a good offer.

It's like every little bump
that you see on it,

I can remember exactly
what it's from.

When my dad drove
that truck into the yard,

I was still too young
to be able to get into it,

and I knew that,
you know, that's what I wanted.

I'm just happy
that I got to experience that.

You spent a lot of time
with that old girl.

Well, I think I'm going
to make it a goal

to have one of these
in Bancroft, eventually.

You put it in one parking lot,

and then it's a real sense of
reality of what you've done, here.

No.

Look at what you've built, man.

All of that.

It's the first time in 24 years
I've ever seen my father cry.

I just need a hug.

It's been, you know,
a lot of blood, sweat, and tears

put into that business,
and building it to where it is,

and I think it's gonna be
a really good thing for my dad.

Pretty wild, a lot of flashing
lights, there.

We took a little walk up the street,

and we shed
a couple tears together,

and we had a moment
that I will probably remember

for the rest of my life.

Oh, that's insane.
I've never ever seen, like,

I've never seen them
all together, like, ever.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

You've worked all these hours.
You've done all this time,

the nights, the weekends,
the snow, the rain.

It didn't matter.

You got up, and you went,
and this is why.

It's all for the best.

We'll have some more time
to hang out.

It's pretty cool
what it's turned into, though.

It's not totally an end
of an era, right?

We're still going to have B&G,
we're still going to be around,

there's still lots of work
to be done.

They'll keep their light-duty
trucks, and the Bancroft yard,

and after a year of growth,
Mitch is ready for what comes next.

I'm really excited to see
where the future goes with B&G.

Just 'cause one door closes,

doesn't mean that there's
not another one opening.

At the end of the day,
it's been a good run.
