1
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:24,940
This time
on Highway Thru Hell...
2
00:00:26,234 --> 00:00:27,943
...crash...
3
00:00:27,943 --> 00:00:29,111
That's not good.
4
00:00:29,111 --> 00:00:30,280
...and burn...
5
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,239
I gotta put it out.
6
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:33,365
...Reliable takes a hit.
7
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:36,536
MSA...
8
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:37,704
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
9
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,414
-...inches...
-Hold it!
10
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:40,707
...from disaster.
11
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,042
You can just see
how tight a space this is.
12
00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:44,335
...and Jamie...
13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,546
...heads off-road.
14
00:00:47,546 --> 00:00:49,256
I feel like
I'm gonna wipe out already.
15
00:00:50,674 --> 00:00:51,843
Holy!
16
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:03,063
Early winter...
17
00:01:06,106 --> 00:01:08,275
...in British Columbia's
18
00:01:08,275 --> 00:01:10,319
Coastal Mountains...
19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,072
I've been driving for 22 years,
20
00:01:14,072 --> 00:01:16,575
and this is one of the most mild
winters I've ever seen.
21
00:01:18,286 --> 00:01:19,453
Way warmer
than what it should be.
22
00:01:19,453 --> 00:01:22,123
...El Niño is back.
23
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:27,462
B.C.'s snow levels
24
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:30,423
are 39% below normal.
25
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:31,840
Environment Canada says
26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,177
it's all thanks
to an earlier-than-anticipated
27
00:01:34,177 --> 00:01:35,719
El Niño.
28
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,640
It's bringing dry roads...
29
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:43,727
...unpredictable conditions...
30
00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:48,441
...and false confidence...
31
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:53,612
...on the Coquihalla Highway.
32
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:08,252
Dispatched out of Merritt,
33
00:02:08,252 --> 00:02:11,338
a Reliable Towing 35-tonne...
34
00:02:11,338 --> 00:02:13,299
Awesome truck.
35
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:16,718
...nicknamed "Big Blue"...
36
00:02:16,718 --> 00:02:18,888
We got a burner to go to.
37
00:02:18,888 --> 00:02:21,014
...and heavy operator
38
00:02:21,014 --> 00:02:23,183
Bob Potts.
39
00:02:23,183 --> 00:02:25,019
I've been
with Reliable off and on
40
00:02:25,019 --> 00:02:27,187
about two years.
41
00:02:27,187 --> 00:02:28,397
I just love doing recoveries
42
00:02:28,397 --> 00:02:31,484
because that's one thing
I love doing.
43
00:02:33,694 --> 00:02:35,028
It's been burning
all night long,
44
00:02:35,028 --> 00:02:38,699
so hopefully it's out.
45
00:02:38,699 --> 00:02:41,786
We won't know
till we get there.
46
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:45,873
Bob's been in the industry
for quite some time.
47
00:02:45,873 --> 00:02:47,332
He's got a lot of experience.
48
00:02:47,332 --> 00:02:48,751
Not afraid
to get his hands dirty.
49
00:02:51,336 --> 00:02:53,673
That's not good.
50
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:58,677
The wreck
has been burning untouched...
51
00:02:58,677 --> 00:02:59,679
Wow.
52
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:03,557
Yeah, still on big-time fire.
53
00:03:03,557 --> 00:03:06,769
...for 16 hours.
54
00:03:11,231 --> 00:03:14,651
Yeah, it's catching
on fire everywhere now.
55
00:03:14,651 --> 00:03:17,739
Ah, it's on the tire.
56
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:21,033
Those tires,
it'll be a big explosion.
57
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:26,247
Oh, man.
58
00:03:26,247 --> 00:03:28,040
Unbelievable.
59
00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:55,693
On the Coquihalla...
60
00:03:58,278 --> 00:04:00,365
...a relentless blaze...
61
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:03,116
That's all we need
is having a boom.
62
00:04:03,116 --> 00:04:06,371
...is forcing Bob
to play firefighter.
63
00:04:08,205 --> 00:04:10,959
If the tires blow,
64
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,126
that's more work.
65
00:04:12,126 --> 00:04:13,919
I gotta put it out.
66
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:17,757
We want to try to tow it as-is.
67
00:04:22,177 --> 00:04:24,930
Outside municipal limits...
68
00:04:27,307 --> 00:04:29,017
...the fire department
69
00:04:29,017 --> 00:04:31,187
isn't an option.
70
00:04:31,187 --> 00:04:33,146
There's no fire department.
71
00:04:33,146 --> 00:04:35,315
So when we're there,
72
00:04:35,315 --> 00:04:37,110
we have to look out
for ourselves.
73
00:04:39,778 --> 00:04:40,822
Okay.
74
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:43,490
With the last of the flames
75
00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:44,908
snuffed out...
76
00:04:47,661 --> 00:04:48,663
That was...
77
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:51,206
bad for your lungs.
78
00:04:51,206 --> 00:04:54,961
...Bob steps
out of harm's way...
79
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:56,963
The number one is our safety.
80
00:04:58,338 --> 00:04:59,339
...but the wreck...
81
00:04:59,339 --> 00:05:02,009
Oh, yeah,
that's coming down.
82
00:05:02,009 --> 00:05:05,721
...is still
a threat to drivers.
83
00:05:05,721 --> 00:05:10,517
The wall's going to collapse
into the slow lane.
84
00:05:10,517 --> 00:05:14,689
The concern is the wall
has no structure anymore.
85
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:18,026
Lulled
by the dry conditions...
86
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:19,401
Holy.
87
00:05:19,401 --> 00:05:23,031
...drivers
speed past the hazard.
88
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,197
We can't do the job
89
00:05:24,197 --> 00:05:25,658
until the flaggers are there...
90
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:28,577
...because they slow down
the traffic.
91
00:05:28,577 --> 00:05:31,456
Oh, here comes our flagger guy.
92
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:34,666
Traffic control arrives...
93
00:05:36,877 --> 00:05:39,338
...to shut down
the granny lane...
94
00:05:40,464 --> 00:05:42,966
...and now
with more room to work...
95
00:05:42,966 --> 00:05:44,259
Oh, yeah.
96
00:05:47,012 --> 00:05:49,223
...an eight-tonne
excavator rolls up...
97
00:05:49,223 --> 00:05:50,516
Okay.
98
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:54,644
...with
salvage contractor Bill Bremner.
99
00:05:56,898 --> 00:05:59,192
Bill does all the cleanup.
100
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:02,528
I need his excavator
to bring down the walls.
101
00:06:05,781 --> 00:06:07,867
Yeah,
bring 'er down, buddy!
102
00:06:09,701 --> 00:06:11,204
We're gonna take the walls,
103
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:12,413
fold them.
104
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:15,083
Watch nothing snaps back at ya!
105
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:16,000
Okay!
106
00:06:33,725 --> 00:06:36,062
500 kilometres
northeast...
107
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:43,485
...in the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains...
108
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:50,701
...it's a colder
winter-driving experience.
109
00:06:54,704 --> 00:06:55,915
We call it "The Goat".
110
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:59,084
In a rugged highway tractor...
111
00:06:59,084 --> 00:07:00,168
It's a bit crusty and old,
112
00:07:00,168 --> 00:07:01,461
but it's got
a good engine in it.
113
00:07:01,461 --> 00:07:03,130
...Jamie Davis
114
00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:07,468
heads to an unusual
backroad job.
115
00:07:07,468 --> 00:07:09,595
This is
one of those weird loads,
116
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:10,930
but we specialize in weird.
117
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:14,641
You made 'er, eh?
118
00:07:14,641 --> 00:07:19,230
Called out
by a snowmobile club,
119
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:22,065
Jamie arrives to his mission...
120
00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:28,322
...hauling a Snowcat
up the hill.
121
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:30,324
Very specialized machine
122
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:32,660
that you don't come across
very often.
123
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:34,911
Yes siree, Bob.
124
00:07:36,204 --> 00:07:38,331
Every winter season,
125
00:07:38,331 --> 00:07:41,836
they groom the local area's
ski hills...
126
00:07:43,795 --> 00:07:47,507
...and its world-class
snowmobile trails.
127
00:07:47,507 --> 00:07:48,843
Backcountry snowmobiling,
128
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:49,802
it's a big sport.
129
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:54,014
People come from all over.
130
00:07:54,014 --> 00:07:55,016
It's huge.
131
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:00,353
Should be good there.
132
00:08:00,353 --> 00:08:03,649
But measuring 14 feet wide...
133
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:05,985
Some flags.
134
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:07,194
...the Snowcat...
135
00:08:07,194 --> 00:08:11,824
sticks out two feet
on each side.
136
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:14,201
That overhang,
that's the biggest issue here.
137
00:08:17,704 --> 00:08:20,374
The 85-kilometre journey,
138
00:08:20,374 --> 00:08:23,211
will lead through roadways,
139
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:25,629
narrow passages
140
00:08:25,629 --> 00:08:27,130
and steep grades.
141
00:08:30,050 --> 00:08:33,346
Following the quarter-
million-dollar machine...
142
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:34,889
Okay, good to go.
143
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:37,682
...are members
of the local snowmobile club...
144
00:08:39,351 --> 00:08:43,940
There's a chance of meeting
snowmobile traffic
145
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:44,981
without radios.
146
00:08:44,981 --> 00:08:47,275
Okay, copy that.
147
00:08:49,778 --> 00:08:53,698
...but weighing
over 10,000 pounds...
148
00:08:53,698 --> 00:08:55,909
We're actually
on a logging road now.
149
00:08:55,909 --> 00:08:59,205
...this load
will put Jamie to the test.
150
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:01,749
We're dealing with
some logging roads,
151
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:02,875
and they're not paved highways.
152
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:06,504
You gotta be
right on your game.
153
00:09:12,509 --> 00:09:15,428
Five hours southwest...
154
00:09:16,429 --> 00:09:17,431
Right on.
155
00:09:17,431 --> 00:09:19,557
...Bob's burner wreck
156
00:09:19,557 --> 00:09:22,562
is being taken down to size.
157
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:28,817
I need Bill
to bring down the walls,
158
00:09:28,817 --> 00:09:30,068
and fold them this way...
159
00:09:31,278 --> 00:09:33,029
...so I can haul it.
160
00:09:33,947 --> 00:09:35,575
But first...
161
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:40,162
...they need to deal with
162
00:09:40,162 --> 00:09:42,956
what's left of the tractor.
163
00:09:42,956 --> 00:09:45,000
It's a challenge
for any burnt truck
164
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,210
to get on a deck.
165
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:51,423
Okay.
166
00:09:55,302 --> 00:09:57,096
Keep winching.
167
00:09:59,014 --> 00:10:01,808
Lacking any remnant of wheels...
168
00:10:01,808 --> 00:10:05,062
Okay, hang on!
169
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:09,609
...the wreck
starts to veer off course.
170
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,277
Bill, is there any way
that you can push it?
171
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:14,654
I can keep it straight for you
all the way up.
172
00:10:14,654 --> 00:10:16,157
Okay.
173
00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:25,832
Having an excavator,
174
00:10:25,832 --> 00:10:28,918
it's not a huge one,
it's a little one,
175
00:10:28,918 --> 00:10:29,794
but it does the job.
176
00:10:31,672 --> 00:10:32,965
Good!
177
00:10:34,424 --> 00:10:35,967
Da-ta-da!
178
00:10:35,967 --> 00:10:37,677
With the tractor loaded...
179
00:10:37,677 --> 00:10:39,639
Just take it easy, okay?
180
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:45,352
...Bob returns
his focus to the trailer.
181
00:10:45,352 --> 00:10:46,854
I gotta cage the brakes,
182
00:10:46,854 --> 00:10:50,191
before I haul it down the road.
183
00:10:50,191 --> 00:10:51,692
To release the brakes,
184
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:53,402
the 62-year-old...
185
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:58,323
...has to get down and dirty.
186
00:10:58,323 --> 00:11:00,951
I don't care how old I am...
187
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:07,875
I'll go down there
and get dirty, too.
188
00:11:09,626 --> 00:11:11,671
But the brakes' bolts...
189
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,839
They're jammed!
190
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:15,216
....won't budge.
191
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:18,094
We won't be going anywhere.
192
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:21,389
Come on!
193
00:11:24,808 --> 00:11:26,018
In the Rockies...
194
00:11:28,854 --> 00:11:32,607
...Jamie hauls
an oversized load
195
00:11:32,607 --> 00:11:34,402
through the mountains...
196
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:36,361
Logging roads aren't
maintained like a highway.
197
00:11:37,529 --> 00:11:39,657
...but up ahead...
198
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,283
The bridge
that we're gonna go across,
199
00:11:41,283 --> 00:11:42,743
it's very narrow...
200
00:11:42,743 --> 00:11:45,203
...with a Snowcat blade
201
00:11:45,203 --> 00:11:47,914
stretching 14 feet across...
202
00:11:47,914 --> 00:11:49,582
I'm gonna
follow the pilot here.
203
00:11:49,582 --> 00:11:52,836
...he'll need some extra help.
204
00:11:52,836 --> 00:11:55,505
Pilot trucks warn
oncoming motorists
205
00:11:55,505 --> 00:11:57,258
that there's something in tow,
206
00:11:57,258 --> 00:11:58,259
and it's oversize.
207
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:01,721
The bridge he has to cross
208
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:03,556
is only ten feet wide.
209
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:07,559
The pilot is gonna stop
the bridge traffic for us.
210
00:12:09,144 --> 00:12:10,437
With the pilot truck
211
00:12:10,437 --> 00:12:12,105
at the other end...
212
00:12:12,105 --> 00:12:14,524
Thanks, guys.
It'll just be a minute.
213
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:20,947
...Jamie makes his approach...
214
00:12:20,947 --> 00:12:24,493
I'll get right over,
as far as I can.
215
00:12:24,493 --> 00:12:27,955
The bridge is just barely
wider than the trailer.
216
00:12:27,955 --> 00:12:32,293
...but with his load
sticking out even further...
217
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:35,129
You can just see
how tight a space this is.
218
00:12:35,129 --> 00:12:36,046
...he'll need to clear
219
00:12:36,046 --> 00:12:38,798
the three-foot-tall railings.
220
00:12:38,798 --> 00:12:40,967
It's a fairly
challenging move
221
00:12:40,967 --> 00:12:43,971
to ensure that this thing's
gonna get across properly,
222
00:12:43,971 --> 00:12:45,096
and there's not gonna be
no damage.
223
00:12:48,057 --> 00:12:50,602
I thought this bridge
was wider, actually.
224
00:12:51,729 --> 00:12:54,815
I'm gonna have to really use
all the skill I have
225
00:12:54,815 --> 00:12:56,232
to get across
without having an upset
226
00:12:56,232 --> 00:12:57,942
or a problem here.
227
00:13:02,322 --> 00:13:05,075
In the foothills
of the Rockies...
228
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:14,083
It's very narrow,
229
00:13:14,083 --> 00:13:15,418
very tight.
230
00:13:15,418 --> 00:13:18,839
...Jamie's
feeling the squeeze...
231
00:13:18,839 --> 00:13:20,798
It's rubbing a bit.
232
00:13:22,509 --> 00:13:25,095
...with an oversize load...
233
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:26,846
The back end of the trailer
234
00:13:26,846 --> 00:13:29,140
is scraping the side
of the bridge somewhat.
235
00:13:30,183 --> 00:13:32,101
We're pushing it
to the limit here.
236
00:13:33,144 --> 00:13:35,815
...but with
just inches to spare...
237
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,024
Okay...
238
00:13:37,024 --> 00:13:38,399
...Jamie makes
239
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:40,985
the quarter-million-dollar
Snowcat
240
00:13:40,985 --> 00:13:43,697
glide over the railings.
241
00:13:43,697 --> 00:13:45,825
As long as
the Snowcat's good, I'm good.
242
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:49,035
It's these
kinds of jobs I like, actually.
243
00:13:51,038 --> 00:13:53,874
The more weirder it is,
the more fun it is.
244
00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:55,543
All right,
245
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:58,796
so that's one obstacle.
246
00:13:59,712 --> 00:14:02,383
With the bridge cleared...
247
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:04,884
Thanks a lot, guys,
you have a great day.
248
00:14:04,884 --> 00:14:09,389
...Jamie's
biggest challenge lies ahead...
249
00:14:09,389 --> 00:14:10,640
You don't know
what the off-road,
250
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,058
what the logging roads
are gonna be like.
251
00:14:12,058 --> 00:14:16,480
...a 46-kilometre climb...
252
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,731
The bush
is a little more different.
253
00:14:18,731 --> 00:14:21,402
...back into the mountains.
254
00:14:21,402 --> 00:14:24,904
It's one thing
to go up a logging road empty.
255
00:14:24,904 --> 00:14:26,532
It's another thing
with a big load on.
256
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:29,784
Taking over
for the pilot vehicle...
257
00:14:30,910 --> 00:14:33,246
...are
the snowmobile club members.
258
00:14:39,836 --> 00:14:41,797
It looks not bad so far to me.
259
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:47,720
Hauling
the 10,000-pound load uphill...
260
00:14:48,761 --> 00:14:52,099
This truck's
got double lockers.
261
00:14:52,099 --> 00:14:56,729
...Jamie has faith
in his highway tractor.
262
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:58,772
That's why they call it
"The Goat"
263
00:14:58,772 --> 00:15:00,899
because it climbs really well.
264
00:15:00,899 --> 00:15:02,400
It's a big advantage
to have lockers.
265
00:15:05,613 --> 00:15:07,114
When turning,
266
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:12,285
differentials allow wheels
to rotate at different speeds,
267
00:15:12,285 --> 00:15:14,288
but in slick conditions,
268
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:17,374
locking differentials,
or "lockers",
269
00:15:17,374 --> 00:15:20,961
allow the wheel with traction
to receive power,
270
00:15:20,961 --> 00:15:25,381
forcing the wheels
to rotate at the same speed
271
00:15:25,381 --> 00:15:29,345
to propel the vehicle forward.
272
00:15:33,765 --> 00:15:36,434
The trick is getting
some momentum.
273
00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:39,897
Come on, baby.
274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,947
It's pretty steep.
275
00:15:49,072 --> 00:15:51,741
Keep you
on the edge of your seat.
276
00:15:51,741 --> 00:15:52,618
It's a tough go...
277
00:15:53,869 --> 00:15:56,245
...but we're making it work.
278
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:01,918
Okay.
279
00:16:03,961 --> 00:16:05,129
It's sledders everywhere.
280
00:16:07,256 --> 00:16:08,801
Finally...
281
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:11,095
All right, we're here.
282
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:14,181
...they arrive
at the back-country trails,
283
00:16:14,181 --> 00:16:17,267
and the Snowcat's winter home.
284
00:16:17,267 --> 00:16:19,061
Being
in the towing business,
285
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:22,648
bad weather and cold weather
equals work.
286
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:23,981
I don't understand
287
00:16:23,981 --> 00:16:26,025
how people want to go out
in the cold weather
288
00:16:26,025 --> 00:16:28,570
and in a snowstorm and have fun.
289
00:16:28,570 --> 00:16:29,654
All right, guys.
290
00:16:29,654 --> 00:16:30,739
-Yeah.
-Thanks.
291
00:16:30,739 --> 00:16:32,865
-Thanks a lot.
-Awesome.
292
00:16:32,865 --> 00:16:34,826
Snowmobiles aren't anything
I've been around...
293
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:37,955
...but who knows?
294
00:16:37,955 --> 00:16:40,456
One day, I'll give
a snowmobile a chance.
295
00:16:48,048 --> 00:16:50,717
600 kilometres southwest...
296
00:16:50,717 --> 00:16:51,927
Oh, come on.
297
00:16:51,927 --> 00:16:54,721
The brakes.
298
00:16:54,721 --> 00:16:56,347
...Bob is desperate
299
00:16:56,347 --> 00:16:58,225
to get a burned-out trailer
300
00:16:58,225 --> 00:17:00,811
off the Coq.
301
00:17:00,811 --> 00:17:04,647
Still a little bit coals
underneath.
302
00:17:04,647 --> 00:17:05,857
I got burnt a couple times,
303
00:17:05,857 --> 00:17:08,736
but... that's the work.
304
00:17:08,736 --> 00:17:11,739
They should be
coming undone,
305
00:17:11,739 --> 00:17:13,531
but they don't.
306
00:17:13,531 --> 00:17:16,701
Unable to cage the brakes...
307
00:17:20,663 --> 00:17:24,250
...the recovery
hits the seven-hour mark...
308
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:28,380
so Bob switches to plan B.
309
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:31,133
I'm gonna use a... a saw.
310
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:34,428
I have to cut the rods
311
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:36,262
so the brakes will release.
312
00:17:36,262 --> 00:17:38,557
Okay.
313
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:44,395
Yeah!
314
00:17:44,395 --> 00:17:46,522
That's how I like it, baby!
315
00:17:48,232 --> 00:17:49,777
The job's almost done,
316
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:52,112
and I just can't wait
317
00:17:52,112 --> 00:17:54,073
to get that trailer
into our yard,
318
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:55,740
and go home and shower.
319
00:18:00,287 --> 00:18:01,829
Oh, yeah.
320
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:05,334
Yay!
321
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:07,126
We're good.
322
00:18:07,126 --> 00:18:09,922
After a hard day's work...
323
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:11,173
You're good!
324
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:12,423
Here's your cookies!
325
00:18:12,423 --> 00:18:14,968
-Bob...
-No, that's...
326
00:18:14,968 --> 00:18:16,095
...gets his reward.
327
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,136
There you go.
328
00:18:17,136 --> 00:18:18,971
I get cookies now.
329
00:18:18,971 --> 00:18:20,598
Awesome! I was hungry.
330
00:18:22,934 --> 00:18:26,939
With the trailer on the hook...
331
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:28,816
I don't think
that's going anywhere.
332
00:18:28,816 --> 00:18:31,818
...Bob's job is done.
333
00:18:31,818 --> 00:18:33,487
Going home,
334
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:34,363
going to see my wife.
335
00:18:35,404 --> 00:18:36,949
She thinks I'm crazy
336
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:40,076
because of what I'm doing,
at my age!
337
00:18:40,076 --> 00:18:42,746
It's all done, I'm gonna go.
338
00:18:42,746 --> 00:18:44,163
Then I can start
cleaning up?
339
00:18:44,163 --> 00:18:45,915
Yup. Thank you!
340
00:18:45,915 --> 00:18:47,750
Some people are built
to be working hard,
341
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:50,253
and Bob, he's one of them.
342
00:18:51,171 --> 00:18:52,297
Head 'er home.
343
00:18:53,673 --> 00:18:55,299
He's not afraid
344
00:18:55,299 --> 00:18:57,219
to just switch it up
and get the job done.
345
00:19:18,865 --> 00:19:21,993
160 kilometres southwest...
346
00:19:24,453 --> 00:19:26,498
...in the Fraser Valley.
347
00:19:32,211 --> 00:19:36,215
...an MSA Towing
medium-duty wrecker
348
00:19:36,215 --> 00:19:38,050
rolls out to a call...
349
00:19:38,050 --> 00:19:39,178
It's been raining a lot.
350
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:42,306
...with Gursimran Banwait,
351
00:19:42,306 --> 00:19:43,723
or "Sim".
352
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:46,309
It's just like
a little small cargo trailer.
353
00:19:46,309 --> 00:19:50,021
The trailer's still connected
to the truck.
354
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,400
We need to get this out
right away
355
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,487
because the customer has some
expensive equipment in there.
356
00:19:58,654 --> 00:20:00,031
Along for the ride...
357
00:20:00,031 --> 00:20:03,242
I'm surprised this truck
didn't end up in the ditch.
358
00:20:03,242 --> 00:20:06,203
...his older brother Gursharan.
359
00:20:06,203 --> 00:20:07,705
When it's nasty weather
like this,
360
00:20:07,705 --> 00:20:10,083
the phone will ring,
361
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:11,042
and there we go again.
362
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:13,127
Tonight
363
00:20:13,127 --> 00:20:16,213
they're bringing along
first-time swamper...
364
00:20:16,213 --> 00:20:18,090
-This is your first recovery?
-Yeah.
365
00:20:18,090 --> 00:20:20,426
...Kuljit Kang.
366
00:20:20,426 --> 00:20:22,721
It's just fun
367
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:24,806
seeing big huge machines stuck,
368
00:20:24,806 --> 00:20:26,016
and then we just come out there,
369
00:20:26,016 --> 00:20:28,518
and pull 'em out,
like it's nothing.
370
00:20:30,436 --> 00:20:32,772
The 22-year-old
mechanic-in-training...
371
00:20:32,772 --> 00:20:34,607
Starting to get there now,
372
00:20:34,607 --> 00:20:35,942
starting to get there.
373
00:20:35,942 --> 00:20:38,694
...is learning
the tricks of the trade...
374
00:20:38,694 --> 00:20:41,280
Okay, go,
put your wrench in.
375
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,909
...from the main man himself,
376
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:45,993
Kirpal Banwait.
377
00:20:45,993 --> 00:20:48,413
Okay, go now.
378
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:50,457
Kuljit is really good
at the mechanical
379
00:20:50,457 --> 00:20:53,542
because he has the...
common sense.
380
00:20:53,542 --> 00:20:56,712
...but he's more
than just an employee,
381
00:20:56,712 --> 00:21:00,467
he's also Gursharan's
brother-in-law.
382
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:01,634
They're more
than just bosses.
383
00:21:01,634 --> 00:21:03,428
They're like family--
they are family.
384
00:21:06,556 --> 00:21:07,641
Today,
385
00:21:07,641 --> 00:21:10,143
on the busy Fraser Highway,
386
00:21:10,143 --> 00:21:13,396
he pulls up to
his first recovery job...
387
00:21:16,732 --> 00:21:18,652
...a loaded cargo trailer
388
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:22,489
dangling seven feet deep
in a ditch.
389
00:21:22,489 --> 00:21:24,156
It's pretty bad.
390
00:21:24,156 --> 00:21:26,034
We're dealing with
a steep bank
391
00:21:26,034 --> 00:21:29,246
having a soft shoulder as well.
392
00:21:30,830 --> 00:21:31,999
That's probably good there.
393
00:21:31,999 --> 00:21:34,125
But low visibility...
394
00:21:36,252 --> 00:21:38,171
...on a busy
stretch of road...
395
00:21:39,964 --> 00:21:42,299
...is cause for concern.
396
00:21:42,299 --> 00:21:43,300
It's very dark,
397
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,011
and it's raining quite a bit.
398
00:21:45,011 --> 00:21:48,515
We don't want someone
to come speeding in,
399
00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:50,142
and then hit one of us
while we're working.
400
00:21:51,476 --> 00:21:52,853
To recover the trailer,
401
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:55,355
they need to detach the pickup
402
00:21:55,355 --> 00:21:59,108
currently anchoring it in place.
403
00:21:59,108 --> 00:22:00,818
First things first,
404
00:22:00,818 --> 00:22:02,194
get a line onto the trailer,
405
00:22:02,194 --> 00:22:04,448
to make sure we have
a good hold of it.
406
00:22:06,991 --> 00:22:08,993
This is so soft.
407
00:22:10,037 --> 00:22:11,038
Muddy boots,
408
00:22:11,038 --> 00:22:13,832
and rainwater on metal,
409
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:15,375
it makes it even more slippery,
410
00:22:15,375 --> 00:22:20,005
and the risk of everything
just goes up.
411
00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:22,007
Kuljit,
pass me the line
412
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:23,133
so I can hook it in there.
413
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:24,259
Yeah.
414
00:22:28,888 --> 00:22:31,266
With lines
securing the trailer,
415
00:22:31,266 --> 00:22:34,394
they'll disconnect the units,
416
00:22:34,394 --> 00:22:37,189
and then winch the trailer
onto the road.
417
00:22:39,857 --> 00:22:41,192
I'll just
tighten the line up.
418
00:22:44,738 --> 00:22:47,865
The 12-tonne wrecker holds...
419
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:54,705
...and Gursharan
releases the hitch.
420
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:57,416
Yo, drive ahead.
421
00:22:57,416 --> 00:22:59,877
Keep going, keep going...
422
00:22:59,877 --> 00:23:01,253
keep going.
423
00:23:01,253 --> 00:23:04,215
Step by step,
we're getting closer.
424
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:06,884
But now...
425
00:23:09,386 --> 00:23:12,391
...3,000 pounds
of the owner's machinery...
426
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:18,563
...hang in the balance.
427
00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:20,272
It's a very steep ditch,
428
00:23:20,272 --> 00:23:23,734
and we're worried
all this guy's equipment's
429
00:23:23,734 --> 00:23:24,528
going to fall out.
430
00:23:25,444 --> 00:23:27,989
We were not able
to block a lane.
431
00:23:27,989 --> 00:23:31,492
Unable to gain
a stronger angle of pull...
432
00:23:32,618 --> 00:23:34,246
Drag it up like this.
433
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:35,247
All right.
434
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,124
Yeah, just do that.
435
00:23:37,124 --> 00:23:39,166
...they go for broke.
436
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,178
It's working
against that bank there.
437
00:23:51,555 --> 00:23:53,557
It's sitting in
kind of an awkward position...
438
00:23:55,808 --> 00:23:57,477
...and as we're pulling it out,
439
00:23:57,477 --> 00:23:58,936
it's becoming
more and more top-heavy.
440
00:23:58,936 --> 00:24:01,940
The 3,000-pound trailer...
441
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:07,988
...is inches away from disaster.
442
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:10,824
Yeah.
443
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:12,451
The more we pull,
444
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:14,994
the more it feels like
it's about to go over.
445
00:24:14,994 --> 00:24:17,830
Man, there's no way
446
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:19,124
we can let this go
back into the ditch!
447
00:24:20,666 --> 00:24:22,001
Whoa...
448
00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:27,673
In the Fraser Valley...
449
00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:32,887
...working next to a live lane,
450
00:24:32,887 --> 00:24:36,307
MSA's trailer recovery...
451
00:24:36,307 --> 00:24:38,351
The more
you pull it up that bank,
452
00:24:38,351 --> 00:24:40,019
the more it's gonna want
to go over though, no?
453
00:24:40,019 --> 00:24:41,061
Yeah.
454
00:24:41,061 --> 00:24:44,023
...tilts towards disaster.
455
00:24:44,023 --> 00:24:45,066
It feels like
456
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:47,067
the trailer's
just trying to slip away
457
00:24:47,067 --> 00:24:48,819
and make its way
back into the ditch.
458
00:24:49,695 --> 00:24:52,740
Confined to the shoulder,
459
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:55,993
they only have one option.
460
00:24:55,993 --> 00:24:58,538
The angle of it's
not going to change,
461
00:24:58,538 --> 00:25:02,125
the incline's
not going to change, so...
462
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:04,336
there's only one thing to do,
is just keep pulling.
463
00:25:05,252 --> 00:25:08,714
The brothers' gamble...
464
00:25:08,714 --> 00:25:09,883
pays off...
465
00:25:09,883 --> 00:25:11,175
It's a moment of relief
466
00:25:11,175 --> 00:25:13,929
when the trailer
finally levels itself out.
467
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:16,431
You should try
to just pull it straight out.
468
00:25:16,431 --> 00:25:17,848
Yeah.
469
00:25:17,848 --> 00:25:20,309
...but to get it
onto pavement,
470
00:25:20,309 --> 00:25:22,561
they'll need to make room.
471
00:25:22,561 --> 00:25:24,521
Can you drive
the truck ahead then?
472
00:25:24,521 --> 00:25:25,815
It's time...
473
00:25:25,815 --> 00:25:28,652
Just get Kuljit to do it.
474
00:25:28,652 --> 00:25:30,987
...for the rookie swamper...
475
00:25:30,987 --> 00:25:32,780
Yo, Kuljit,
jump in there.
476
00:25:32,780 --> 00:25:34,699
...to step in...
477
00:25:34,699 --> 00:25:36,076
There's pressure
478
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:36,992
'cause you're on the side
of the highway...
479
00:25:38,244 --> 00:25:39,496
...and you gotta
get it out of there
480
00:25:39,496 --> 00:25:40,372
as quick as possible.
481
00:25:42,499 --> 00:25:44,500
Okay, drive straight ahead.
482
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,961
...but as Kuljit
hits the gas...
483
00:25:48,712 --> 00:25:49,923
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
484
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:52,592
Yo, hold it!
485
00:25:54,176 --> 00:25:56,096
What are you doing?
486
00:25:58,515 --> 00:26:00,517
It's the PTO.
487
00:26:00,517 --> 00:26:03,144
PTO is "Power Take-Off,"
488
00:26:03,144 --> 00:26:04,895
that's what runs
the hydraulic pump
489
00:26:04,895 --> 00:26:06,772
for the wrecker.
490
00:26:06,772 --> 00:26:09,192
If you leave it on,
and then you start to drive,
491
00:26:09,192 --> 00:26:11,861
then the pump spins faster
than it should.
492
00:26:13,028 --> 00:26:15,115
Driving with the PTO engaged...
493
00:26:15,115 --> 00:26:17,241
Turn it down.
494
00:26:17,241 --> 00:26:19,035
...can damage the wrecker.
495
00:26:19,035 --> 00:26:20,327
He's good at what he does,
496
00:26:20,327 --> 00:26:22,579
but when it comes to recovery
497
00:26:22,579 --> 00:26:24,039
and more technical work,
498
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:25,750
he doesn't have the experience.
499
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:29,503
Gursharan
switches the PTO off...
500
00:26:29,503 --> 00:26:30,755
Now go.
501
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:32,257
...and his brother-in-law
502
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:34,550
is back on track.
503
00:26:34,550 --> 00:26:36,720
I'm always down to learn more,
as much as possible.
504
00:26:41,974 --> 00:26:43,268
That's good.
505
00:26:46,020 --> 00:26:49,231
With the wrecker
out of the way...
506
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:52,652
Nice.
507
00:26:52,652 --> 00:26:56,823
...the 3,000-pound trailer...
508
00:26:56,823 --> 00:26:58,157
Probably good, eh?
509
00:26:58,157 --> 00:27:02,662
...is finally
back on firm ground...
510
00:27:02,662 --> 00:27:03,788
It wasn't too bad.
511
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,874
We were able to pull it out
pretty quick.
512
00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:08,375
...and the boys...
513
00:27:08,375 --> 00:27:10,127
It's miserable...
514
00:27:10,127 --> 00:27:13,506
...can soon
get out of the rain.
515
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:16,759
...but we're almost
done the job.
516
00:27:19,721 --> 00:27:21,681
We can finally go home.
517
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:27,354
Kuljit's first recovery...
518
00:27:27,354 --> 00:27:28,355
Yeah.
519
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:30,606
...is in the books.
520
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:34,361
Gursharan and Gursimran
are great mentors.
521
00:27:34,361 --> 00:27:37,196
Cross-chain it,
put this on that side.
522
00:27:38,365 --> 00:27:40,491
They've got lots of knowledge
523
00:27:40,491 --> 00:27:42,451
and a lot for me to learn from.
524
00:27:42,451 --> 00:27:44,578
Yeah, that's good.
525
00:27:44,578 --> 00:27:45,954
Yeah.
526
00:27:45,954 --> 00:27:47,915
I can't wait
for more recovery work.
527
00:27:49,166 --> 00:27:50,042
Should we go?
528
00:27:50,042 --> 00:27:51,086
Yeah, let's go.
529
00:27:52,252 --> 00:27:55,423
Kuljit is really good
at the mechanical,
530
00:27:55,423 --> 00:27:58,425
and now he's learning recovery.
531
00:27:58,425 --> 00:28:01,387
He will be
the multi-functional guy.
532
00:28:01,387 --> 00:28:02,681
He will be all-in-one.
533
00:28:12,856 --> 00:28:15,026
Back up on the Coquihalla...
534
00:28:29,999 --> 00:28:32,876
...for one of the drivers...
535
00:28:37,214 --> 00:28:39,843
...it's a tower's
worst nightmare.
536
00:28:39,843 --> 00:28:42,761
I've been
in a big accident here.
537
00:28:42,761 --> 00:28:45,765
Bob...
538
00:28:45,765 --> 00:28:47,767
and his wrecker Big Blue...
539
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:51,855
...were hit
540
00:28:51,855 --> 00:28:54,065
towing the burned trailer.
541
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:58,236
I'm watching this guy
coming at me,
542
00:28:58,236 --> 00:29:01,364
and I'm going,
"Oh, my God, he's gonna...
543
00:29:01,364 --> 00:29:02,156
he's gonna hit me."
544
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:10,498
I just can't believe this.
545
00:29:10,498 --> 00:29:11,540
I'm in shock...
546
00:29:12,959 --> 00:29:14,836
Scary.
547
00:29:16,003 --> 00:29:17,212
Oh, man...
548
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:27,682
On the Coquihalla...
549
00:29:31,227 --> 00:29:32,353
Oh, man.
550
00:29:32,353 --> 00:29:35,230
...Big Blue and Bob...
551
00:29:38,317 --> 00:29:40,819
Unbelievable, eh?
552
00:29:40,819 --> 00:29:43,239
...were on the receiving end
553
00:29:43,239 --> 00:29:44,824
of a rear-ender.
554
00:29:49,162 --> 00:29:50,329
I'm shaken, right?
555
00:29:50,329 --> 00:29:53,750
I think I'm okay, I'm not sure,
556
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:55,835
but I'm all stressed out.
557
00:29:59,463 --> 00:30:00,673
Earlier tonight,
558
00:30:00,673 --> 00:30:03,218
Bob finished the job...
559
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,553
I don't think
that's going anywhere.
560
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:07,180
...and set out...
561
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:08,640
Head 'er home.
562
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,892
...with a burned-out trailer
563
00:30:10,892 --> 00:30:12,809
on the hook.
564
00:30:14,311 --> 00:30:15,939
Minutes later,
565
00:30:15,939 --> 00:30:20,276
a semi went to pass
Bob's wrecker,
566
00:30:20,276 --> 00:30:23,654
but with a four-wheeler
in its way,
567
00:30:23,654 --> 00:30:27,241
it smashed into
the burnt trailer.
568
00:30:28,617 --> 00:30:31,162
You know the only thing
that saved me?
569
00:30:31,162 --> 00:30:32,372
That wreck, eh?
570
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:34,207
The burnt trailer...
571
00:30:34,207 --> 00:30:35,165
Holy,
572
00:30:35,165 --> 00:30:37,376
just pushed it all the way up.
573
00:30:37,376 --> 00:30:40,003
...absorbed
most of the impact,
574
00:30:40,003 --> 00:30:41,798
protecting Bob.
575
00:30:41,798 --> 00:30:43,383
When he hit it--
576
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:46,594
it was like an accordion.
577
00:30:46,594 --> 00:30:49,888
The landing gear came up
and hit my wheel lift,
578
00:30:49,888 --> 00:30:53,308
I've never seen a trailer
buckle like that.
579
00:30:53,308 --> 00:30:55,394
I'm doing 40 kilometres,
580
00:30:55,394 --> 00:30:58,189
and I saw this guy
just flying...
581
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:01,025
and I'm going, "Hang on..."
582
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:02,986
Bang!
583
00:31:02,986 --> 00:31:05,238
I got whiplash.
584
00:31:05,238 --> 00:31:06,489
I hit my head
on the steering wheel.
585
00:31:12,703 --> 00:31:15,373
We're just trying to do
our job,
586
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:18,334
that's all,
587
00:31:18,334 --> 00:31:22,838
but we're the ones
that get hurt or killed.
588
00:31:24,464 --> 00:31:25,508
You okay here, bud?
589
00:31:25,508 --> 00:31:27,926
Salvage contractor Bill
590
00:31:27,926 --> 00:31:30,430
was only a few minutes behind.
591
00:31:30,430 --> 00:31:32,640
My neck, my back.
592
00:31:33,516 --> 00:31:34,601
How's he?
593
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:39,939
I feel very lucky.
594
00:31:39,939 --> 00:31:41,065
Could have been worse.
595
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:45,612
Paramedics arrive...
596
00:31:51,241 --> 00:31:53,827
Just a little sore
in the neck.
597
00:31:53,827 --> 00:31:56,998
...and assess Bob's injuries.
598
00:32:09,426 --> 00:32:11,429
They wanted me
to go to the hospital,
599
00:32:11,429 --> 00:32:16,351
but I want to stay on scene
and finish the job.
600
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:19,686
Wow.
601
00:32:19,686 --> 00:32:21,396
Arriving moments later...
602
00:32:22,898 --> 00:32:24,192
Holy.
603
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:28,488
...Merritt
regional manager Laine Paré.
604
00:32:28,488 --> 00:32:31,156
Right after it happened,
Bob called me,
605
00:32:31,156 --> 00:32:33,701
and we started calling 9-1-1,
606
00:32:33,701 --> 00:32:35,369
and we got out there
as quick as we could.
607
00:32:38,998 --> 00:32:41,125
Yeah, I'm just
going to check on Bob.
608
00:32:42,876 --> 00:32:44,628
-Hey, bud.
-Hey.
609
00:32:44,628 --> 00:32:46,255
What did they say?
610
00:32:46,255 --> 00:32:48,924
I'm okay.
611
00:32:48,924 --> 00:32:50,050
If I didn't know
it was coming,
612
00:32:50,050 --> 00:32:52,303
I probably would've gotten hurt
a lot more.
613
00:32:52,303 --> 00:32:53,471
Glad you're okay.
614
00:32:53,471 --> 00:32:54,971
Thanks.
615
00:32:54,971 --> 00:32:56,807
It was a big sigh of relief.
616
00:32:56,807 --> 00:33:00,478
Bob's gonna actually, like,
walk away from this accident.
617
00:33:04,648 --> 00:33:06,608
As word spreads...
618
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:11,071
...all of Reliable Merritt
619
00:33:11,071 --> 00:33:12,406
rolls in.
620
00:33:12,406 --> 00:33:15,742
Just grabbin' dinner,
and I heard it on the radio,
621
00:33:15,742 --> 00:33:18,538
so I come out right away.
622
00:33:18,538 --> 00:33:19,454
When you hear
about something like that,
623
00:33:19,454 --> 00:33:20,539
it's like knowing
624
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:21,749
one of your family members
is involved.
625
00:33:22,916 --> 00:33:24,167
-Hey, man.
-How's it going?
626
00:33:24,167 --> 00:33:25,795
Good.
627
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:26,753
With this job,
628
00:33:26,753 --> 00:33:29,007
working on the highway,
629
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:31,174
it could cost you your life.
630
00:33:31,174 --> 00:33:32,259
Hi, Josh.
631
00:33:32,259 --> 00:33:33,135
Bobby.
632
00:33:33,135 --> 00:33:34,010
That's wild.
633
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:38,557
I feel grateful
for being alive...
634
00:33:38,557 --> 00:33:40,226
Glad you're okay, Bob.
635
00:33:40,226 --> 00:33:42,561
Oh, me too.
636
00:33:45,897 --> 00:33:49,067
...and I feel grateful
for them...
637
00:33:49,067 --> 00:33:50,653
caring.
638
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:52,821
They're there to help me out.
639
00:33:54,990 --> 00:33:58,786
With Team Reliable
rallying to his side...
640
00:33:58,786 --> 00:34:00,121
I'm gonna do
some work now.
641
00:34:00,121 --> 00:34:03,915
...Bob soldiers on.
642
00:34:03,915 --> 00:34:06,085
Well, let's try
and rehook to this thing...
643
00:34:06,085 --> 00:34:08,670
When I'm on a job,
I like to finish the job.
644
00:34:08,670 --> 00:34:10,672
I'll just pull forward.
645
00:34:10,672 --> 00:34:12,215
Okay.
646
00:34:17,387 --> 00:34:18,931
Watch yourself, guys.
647
00:34:21,934 --> 00:34:25,021
I just want to be
a team member...
648
00:34:26,646 --> 00:34:29,400
...and get it
over and done with.
649
00:34:31,068 --> 00:34:32,695
Okay.
650
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:37,992
But before
Bob can tow the wreck away...
651
00:34:37,992 --> 00:34:40,119
The kink right here
is my concern.
652
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:44,373
...Laine makes
an unsettling discovery.
653
00:34:44,373 --> 00:34:46,626
The minute
he starts driving away,
654
00:34:46,626 --> 00:34:49,711
there's potential this section
of the trailer can just break.
655
00:34:49,711 --> 00:34:51,047
I don't trust that.
656
00:34:55,717 --> 00:34:57,177
South of Merritt,
657
00:34:57,177 --> 00:35:00,431
a critical kink in a trailer...
658
00:35:03,309 --> 00:35:05,436
...has added
a major risk
659
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:08,188
to towing it off the highway.
660
00:35:08,188 --> 00:35:10,983
If we don't
play our cards right,
661
00:35:10,983 --> 00:35:14,112
we'll lose half of the trailer.
662
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:15,862
The trailer's
gonna fold in half
663
00:35:15,862 --> 00:35:18,114
on that spot now,
664
00:35:18,114 --> 00:35:20,201
breaking into pieces
while we're towing it.
665
00:35:21,244 --> 00:35:23,286
That's not cool.
666
00:35:24,579 --> 00:35:26,916
Just two hours earlier,
667
00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:30,795
the trailer was being towed
by Big Blue,
668
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:33,965
when a passing semi
669
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,300
slammed into the back.
670
00:35:37,717 --> 00:35:38,677
Now...
671
00:35:39,637 --> 00:35:43,349
Okay, I want a chain
with a hook on each end.
672
00:35:47,478 --> 00:35:49,730
I'm going to run chain
under the trailer...
673
00:35:51,731 --> 00:35:54,610
We're gonna support it
with chain.
674
00:35:54,610 --> 00:35:57,028
I'm just going to give it
some structure...
675
00:35:57,028 --> 00:35:59,030
Yeah,
we'll need one more.
676
00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:00,782
Yeah, for the other side.
677
00:36:00,782 --> 00:36:04,579
...and try and support
that weak spot,
678
00:36:04,579 --> 00:36:05,871
so that we can get it
off the road.
679
00:36:05,871 --> 00:36:07,873
Okay, we're-- we're ready.
680
00:36:07,873 --> 00:36:09,125
-Oh yeah?
-Yeah.
681
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:10,001
Bruised,
682
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:11,626
but not beaten,
683
00:36:11,626 --> 00:36:13,378
Bob...
684
00:36:13,378 --> 00:36:14,505
Okay.
685
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:17,465
...gets back
behind the wheel.
686
00:36:17,465 --> 00:36:19,927
Here we go.
687
00:36:22,637 --> 00:36:24,681
...but this time,
688
00:36:24,681 --> 00:36:26,391
he won't be alone.
689
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:31,898
He'll have
a Team Reliable escort.
690
00:36:37,987 --> 00:36:41,824
I was still in shock
by the accident...
691
00:36:41,824 --> 00:36:42,992
Whew.
692
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:46,329
...but everybody
from Reliable was there.
693
00:36:46,329 --> 00:36:48,121
I can't ask for better.
694
00:36:49,623 --> 00:36:51,708
11 hours...
695
00:36:51,708 --> 00:36:54,420
since Bob arrived
for the burner...
696
00:36:54,420 --> 00:36:55,713
Oh, yeah.
697
00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:59,342
...the wreck
is finally off the road.
698
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:00,384
We got it out of the way.
699
00:37:02,802 --> 00:37:04,804
It's a lot of relief.
700
00:37:06,349 --> 00:37:08,976
I feel good now.
701
00:37:08,976 --> 00:37:10,436
I'd rather get it
back to the yard,
702
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:12,271
but that's tomorrow.
703
00:37:13,146 --> 00:37:16,442
A clean-up crew will be back
when the sun's up.
704
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:20,153
Team Reliable!
705
00:37:20,153 --> 00:37:21,655
Bob.
706
00:37:21,655 --> 00:37:24,074
My crew did awesome.
707
00:37:24,074 --> 00:37:26,494
I'm very proud of 'em.
708
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:29,163
In that time of stress,
everybody worked together.
709
00:37:30,289 --> 00:37:31,248
I love you, buddy.
710
00:37:31,248 --> 00:37:33,833
I got a big Bob hug.
711
00:37:37,295 --> 00:37:38,713
Bobby's emotional!
712
00:37:38,713 --> 00:37:41,300
Reliable, it's a family.
713
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:43,719
We care for each other, right?
714
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,639
And that's what a team
is all about.
715
00:38:04,489 --> 00:38:07,451
The next morning...
716
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:08,744
No time to waste here.
717
00:38:08,744 --> 00:38:13,791
...a red one-tonne
heads down a back road
718
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:15,251
with Jamie...
719
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,295
So we'll
head up there right now.
720
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:20,172
...and his stepson,
Brandon Kodallas.
721
00:38:20,172 --> 00:38:22,382
Kinda funny getting you out
722
00:38:22,382 --> 00:38:23,800
doing something
like this, though.
723
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,969
There's no profit in fun.
724
00:38:26,177 --> 00:38:28,014
But today...
725
00:38:28,014 --> 00:38:30,224
I think
you'll enjoy it, though.
726
00:38:30,224 --> 00:38:32,809
....Jamie's
trading his wrecker...
727
00:38:32,809 --> 00:38:34,603
for a sled.
728
00:38:34,603 --> 00:38:35,813
For Jamie,
729
00:38:35,813 --> 00:38:37,565
there isn't much
of a work-life balance.
730
00:38:37,565 --> 00:38:39,733
You excited?
731
00:38:39,733 --> 00:38:41,735
Yeah,
I've never done it before.
732
00:38:41,735 --> 00:38:43,362
I think it's important
733
00:38:43,362 --> 00:38:44,905
to have a little fun.
734
00:38:46,072 --> 00:38:47,867
This will be the one
that you're taking out.
735
00:38:47,867 --> 00:38:49,117
Okay.
736
00:38:49,117 --> 00:38:53,831
It's totally polar opposite
to me going to work...
737
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:56,166
Is that the old-guy sled?
738
00:38:56,166 --> 00:38:58,210
...but...
739
00:38:58,210 --> 00:38:59,628
I'll give it a chance.
740
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:04,382
I think once he starts
revving it up a little bit...
741
00:39:05,425 --> 00:39:07,052
Fire it up?
742
00:39:08,512 --> 00:39:09,764
...I think
he'll really enjoy it.
743
00:39:14,268 --> 00:39:16,519
Okay, I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna launch!
744
00:39:18,396 --> 00:39:19,398
Oh, wow.
745
00:39:19,398 --> 00:39:21,775
That's got a kick!
746
00:39:21,775 --> 00:39:23,318
Oh yeah,
that thing'll go, man!
747
00:39:23,318 --> 00:39:26,530
These machines,
they go like, heck, and, uh...
748
00:39:26,530 --> 00:39:28,407
I feel like
I'm gonna wipe out already.
749
00:39:28,407 --> 00:39:29,867
-No, you won't, you won't.
-Huh...
750
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:32,286
You crash one of them, I think
it would really really hurt.
751
00:39:32,286 --> 00:39:34,288
All right!
752
00:39:35,623 --> 00:39:38,208
Whoa!
753
00:39:39,918 --> 00:39:41,503
Holy!
754
00:39:43,922 --> 00:39:44,715
Whoa!
755
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:48,760
Holy!
756
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,179
On a frozen playground...
757
00:39:54,641 --> 00:39:55,768
...Brandon...
758
00:39:55,768 --> 00:39:57,519
I'm just hanging on
for dear life.
759
00:39:57,519 --> 00:40:01,148
...has pushed Jamie
out of his comfort zone.
760
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:03,818
Keep up
with the old man, eh?
761
00:40:03,818 --> 00:40:06,152
Seeing him go out
762
00:40:06,152 --> 00:40:07,153
and have a little fun...
763
00:40:10,657 --> 00:40:11,951
...I think it's good for him,
764
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:13,119
and I enjoy it myself.
765
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:16,621
My arms are sore
already just hanging on.
766
00:40:16,621 --> 00:40:19,541
That's like
pulling winch line all day.
767
00:40:20,708 --> 00:40:21,626
Well, I'm gonna go
on one more burn,
768
00:40:21,626 --> 00:40:22,836
but, uh,
769
00:40:22,836 --> 00:40:25,005
I gotta save my energy
for wrecks.
770
00:40:25,005 --> 00:40:26,047
Sounds good.
771
00:40:26,047 --> 00:40:27,007
Hey?
772
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:30,927
Going and doing something
773
00:40:30,927 --> 00:40:32,471
that doesn't involve work...
774
00:40:33,806 --> 00:40:35,724
H'yah!
775
00:40:35,724 --> 00:40:38,393
...you almost have
a guilty feeling...
776
00:40:38,393 --> 00:40:40,980
Hey!
777
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:44,150
...so getting out
and doing something fun...
778
00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:45,693
Whoa!
779
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:48,070
This beats the office.
780
00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:49,737
...nice change.
781
00:40:52,574 --> 00:40:53,992
Yippee-ki-yay!
782
00:40:53,992 --> 00:40:55,327
Yeehaw!
783
00:41:00,623 --> 00:41:03,460
Southwest
and closer to the coast...
784
00:41:05,545 --> 00:41:07,922
...at Reliable Towing's yard
785
00:41:07,922 --> 00:41:09,215
in Merritt...
786
00:41:12,219 --> 00:41:14,012
Here they come,
787
00:41:14,012 --> 00:41:16,514
the rest of the burned truck.
788
00:41:16,514 --> 00:41:19,184
...Bob is on hand...
789
00:41:19,184 --> 00:41:21,811
Only axles now.
790
00:41:21,811 --> 00:41:24,023
...as the final piece
791
00:41:24,023 --> 00:41:26,692
of yesterday's wreck rolls in.
792
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:29,027
Now it's to our yard,
and I feel good,
793
00:41:29,027 --> 00:41:30,778
job's done.
794
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:35,074
I feel very lucky.
795
00:41:36,744 --> 00:41:38,161
This wreck did save my life.
796
00:41:40,623 --> 00:41:41,706
Thank you, brother.
797
00:41:41,706 --> 00:41:43,708
I got you, buddy.
798
00:41:43,708 --> 00:41:45,710
Yeah, right on.
799
00:41:45,710 --> 00:41:47,003
When you have a team,
800
00:41:47,003 --> 00:41:49,215
they want to be
just like a family, right?
801
00:41:50,882 --> 00:41:52,635
It's hard to find,
802
00:41:52,635 --> 00:41:55,094
and Reliable, it's a family.
803
00:41:55,094 --> 00:42:00,391
Still a bit of whiplash,
I'll admit, but I-I'm...
804
00:42:00,391 --> 00:42:02,268
I feel pretty good.
805
00:42:02,268 --> 00:42:04,396
My wife,
806
00:42:04,396 --> 00:42:05,898
the first thing she did
when I walked through the door,
807
00:42:05,898 --> 00:42:07,190
is gave me a big hug.
808
00:42:10,735 --> 00:42:13,697
We'll see
how much damage on my truck.
809
00:42:16,115 --> 00:42:17,117
Wow.
810
00:42:18,452 --> 00:42:20,119
Unbelievable.
811
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:21,746
Big Blue finished the job.
812
00:42:24,123 --> 00:42:26,043
Tough tow truck.
813
00:42:29,003 --> 00:42:30,005
Maybe recuperate
814
00:42:30,005 --> 00:42:31,547
from, uh...
815
00:42:31,547 --> 00:42:33,384
all the pain that
I'm going through right now.
816
00:42:34,717 --> 00:42:36,344
The team understands
817
00:42:36,344 --> 00:42:37,429
that there's no pressure from me
818
00:42:37,429 --> 00:42:39,472
to get back
onto the playing field
819
00:42:39,472 --> 00:42:43,518
without properly dealing
with these things.
820
00:42:43,518 --> 00:42:45,186
Safety is always paramount.
821
00:42:45,186 --> 00:42:47,481
You only live once,
822
00:42:47,481 --> 00:42:51,025
try to live the best of it.
823
00:42:51,025 --> 00:42:52,945
I'm taking time off
824
00:42:52,945 --> 00:42:55,239
just to get back
into the swing of things.
825
00:42:56,489 --> 00:42:59,702
I live to do another wreck.
826
00:43:06,333 --> 00:43:09,295
Next time
on Highway Thru Hell...
827
00:43:09,295 --> 00:43:11,213
This is just
going to be ugly.
828
00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:12,965
...rocking the rollover...
829
00:43:12,965 --> 00:43:14,048
She's a little heavy.
830
00:43:14,048 --> 00:43:15,550
...a fresh team...
831
00:43:15,550 --> 00:43:16,510
It's smoking.
832
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:17,927
...over the edge...
833
00:43:17,927 --> 00:43:19,221
No!
834
00:43:20,179 --> 00:43:21,222
That's not good.
835
00:43:21,222 --> 00:43:22,474
...Jamie...
836
00:43:22,474 --> 00:43:23,391
The back end
is going over..
837
00:43:23,391 --> 00:43:25,518
...holds on...
838
00:43:25,518 --> 00:43:27,980
Whoa, it's tippy, eh?
839
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:30,023
...and Aggressive...
840
00:43:30,023 --> 00:43:31,358
Hold on, hold on.
841
00:43:31,358 --> 00:43:33,652
...gets down and dirty.
842
00:43:33,652 --> 00:43:35,403
Holy!
