Original subtitles

One little incident on the highway

can really cause a mess.

We can't do that, no, no, no.

Big excavator fell into a sinkhole.

Holy moly!

We're going to need some big chains.

They have the canyon completely closed.

Look at you with your big bad boy cables.

Let's get this sucker up out of here.

Gotta get up this big embankment.

Be a little bit of a fight.

Ciaran, hold on!

Stop!

Things are still looking bad

in mountain country,

especially on 1-70 through Vail Pass.

The plows are working to keep up with the storm,

but if you don't need to travel, best to stay off the roads.

In Colorado,

eight inches of overnight snow

is taking a toll on I-70,

and on the Mountain Recovery crew.

13-01,

we're double stacked at the 180.

Come back quick.

The steep grade and the sheer ice

have left a trail of spinouts and crashes

up and down Vail Pass.

We've got two or three vehicles

down in the median that we need to recover.

Any vehicle stuck on the pass

creates a serious risk of a secondary crash.

A simple spin-out

can snowball into a complete shutdown.

These vehicles are all presumably drivable,

so we're just winching them out onto the roadway.

We're trying to do that without a full closure.

One vehicle in particular

has grabbed Charlie's attention.

09, you want to pull past the car,

and then I'll back it out.

All right, 10-4.

So, a family in a car

has just went and crashed into the median,

lost control,

and they've been sitting in the car for a while.

The state patrol is trying to provide some room

to make the rescue.

A slow roll

is when either us or police or CDOT

slowly lead the traffic queue creating a traffic break,

so that our unit that's in front

has a little bit of time to work

before that traffic gets to him.

I'm just going to hook on,

and Charlie's going to just pop 'em out real fast.

As fast as possible.

Collin is going to hook up a kinetic energy rope

and J-chain to this vehicle,

and I'm going to back it out.

I'm not even going to get out of my vehicle right now.

That family, they've just crashed their car,

so they're having, you know,

one of the worst days of their lives.

Okay, we gotta hurry,

because our traffic queue is almost here.

The operator in a slow roll situation

is definitely up against a ticking clock.

Traffic is coming,

and you'd better be ready.

Kind of hectic right now.

There we go.

That's good.

I missed that right there.

Almost.

Okay, so, we're going to just drag you out backwards.

Put it into neutral,

he's gonna go slow,

and you're just gonna kinda steer back onto the road, okay?

Does that make sense to you what we're doing?

Okay.

Are we good?

Okay, here we go, backing up.

Straighten your wheels out. Straighten wheels.

Get them unhooked right away.

Collin, we do not have time to load this guy.

He's got to drive, he's got to drive.

We got to get out of here ASAP.

Start driving now,

'cause we have traffic coming towards us.

He's not moving!

-Why? -I don't know.

He can't drive?

Hey, roll your window down!

Can you drive?

Is your parking brake on?

Shut your car off and turn it back on.

Okay.

All right, all right.

Can we get the baby in a car seat?

This vehicle is not drivable all of a sudden,

so we have to load it onto our flatbed.

We're just in a bad spot.

I'm feeling pretty stressed out.

The stakes just went way through the roof.

...and time is up.

Now our traffic queue is here,

so that's not good.

It's just a dangerous situation.

Hey, get out of that lane.

Every second

that I have to take my attention off of oncoming traffic

could be a second that I get hit by a car

and lose my life.

-Let's get out of here . -Yup.

We're literally putting him on the bed right now,

so we should be quick.

Collin is loading,

and we're doing as quick as we can.

-All right. -Freaking out.

You guys just stay in here,

stay buckled and everything, okay?

Cool.

We got this vehicle loaded,

13, and we're rolling.

Okay, we have the vehicle loaded.

The occupants are safe.

It's a sigh of relief for me, we're out of that zone.

When it gets this bad, and the road's this clogged,

it's about helping people.

That's our mission.

That's what we're going to do.

We're just going to take charge and get this road open

no matter what it takes.

This one is going to be a tough mess.

600 kilometres west of Vail,

Jesse from Stauffer's Towing

is answering an urgent call

5,000 feet up Provo Canyon

on Highway 189.

189 connects Orem

to Park City area.

This is the main highway,

and so if this is blocked, it's a huge detour.

What we know so far

is that it's a rolled-over tractor-trailer

loaded with french fries,

and they have the Canyon completely closed.

The semi lost control in wet conditions

on the tight curve...

rolling, and landing between a wall of rock

and open water.

Man, this guy was cooking around this corner.

It's kind of a blind corner

where you've got two lanes of travel.

It's a busy canyon,

and just having one lane of travel closed

for any period of time

causes a lot of delays for a lot of people.

I'm just hoping and praying

that we can get some traffic going.

Hey, Kev.

Where are you wanting this, Jesse?

Through the rim.

Through the rim.

The driver suffered only minor injuries,

and luckily missed rolling into the water,

but traffic is now forced to alternate around the curve.

Jesse and crew need to get both lanes flowing fast.

It's near rush hour in the afternoon.

I'm definitely feeling the crunch.

The first step for me

is I'm going to get this tractor-trailer

slid over into this dirt,

so that way we can open up all the lanes.

It's 80,000 pounds on its side.

Getting that to slide isn't the easiest.

I'm going to lift the tractor,

which'll in turn lift the front of the trailer

rather than just dragging this tractor across the asphalt.

-Good? -Yeah.

You guys watch this. I'm going to go watch the truck.

Okay.

It's heavy.

There we go.

The front of the trailer moves over.

Nice and easy.

Let's open it.

Traffic can now flow in both directions,

but the semi is too close to the open road

to safely lift it.

So the last thing we want to do here

is scare a driver that's driving by

with a tractor-trailer

that's slamming down to the ground.

This thing's gonna be a nightmare.

Let's open it.

Both lanes are open again

on Highway 189 in Utah,

but they still can't start the lift.

Okay, let 'er off.

Now boxed in by live traffic,

the crew can't safely prep for the lift

until they buy even more room...

So I'm gonna go to the back of the trailer,

and Kevan's gonna come around us

to the front of the tractor,

and we're gonna try and slide this over

just a bit more.

...but with 40,000 pounds of freight inside,

they can't risk sliding it further

until it's empty.

What is it with our roads

and making this happen with french fries?

Why couldn't this be steak?

So it's going to be a... hopefully a fast operation.

When does it stop being fun?

'Bout as soon as we open the doors.

All right, last pallet, let's get 'er done!

Everybody clear?

Yup!

Now they can move the semi into position

for the upright.

We're going to slide it over

just a little bit further

to get it away from the road, so as we flip it,

we make sure we're not going to land in the road,

or anything like that.

The space we had in the pullout to work with,

at least for my truck, it was tight.

They need to shift it just enough

to clear traffic,

but allow enough room to work.

Ready?

Oh, here we go.

Will you go on that side and watch the drives?

Let me wait for him.

Let me see what I can do.

Kev, go ahead.

Hey!

All it's doing is rotating.

Ideally, we want to stand next to our truck,

and we can feel what the truck is doing,

and that's kinda how we stay in sync.

Winch in a little bit.

There you go.

Kev, go ahead!

Keep going till you run out of cable.

Good!

Good!

Good, good,

and then that should give Kevin enough room

to spike the front down, right?

Yeah.

Time to get ready for the big maneuver.

Gonna spike it.

Let's get you moved over

so we can spike the front and the tractor.

Kevan will work up front,

pulling or "spiking" down the tractor,

while Jesse pulls on two straps

to lift the trailer onto its wheels.

With this being as small of a road

and small of an area to work in,

we've got to be pretty precise.

Head of truck...

right here.

There you go!

They need to ease it down

clear of moving traffic,

but there's a more unpredictable challenge

in working on the edge of a live lane.

We were keeping live traffic open.

It's not every day

the motoring public sees a tractor-trailer upright,

and if they see that coming over,

they could swerve,

come into our work scene,

go into oncoming traffic.

I don't know what this one's gonna be like.

It's making me nervous on how it's gonna go.

Finally some relief

for folks traveling near Vail.

The front is moving south,

and temperatures are on the rise,

but roads could still be slippery,

so please take some extra caution behind the wheel.

The storm

that's dumped more than eight inches of snow on I-70

is letting up,

but at the top of Vail Pass,

Charlie is still on high alert.

I just can't get off the Pass,

because there's just so much action.

We got a semi that just stopped

in a live lane of traffic going uphill.

I think he's overheating.

What do you got, buddy?

He's pouring out coolant right there.

One of his heater hoses busted.

It probably burned on his exhaust

is what it looks like,

so he's not gonna get very far.

You wanna get a tow to a safe spot?

Um...

No English, español.

Okay, I know.

See where that guy is right there?

I want you to drive up in there.

Can you drive?

Okay? Right now.

I don't speak any Spanish.

He doesn't speak any English.

We cannot communicate.

It's a very dangerous situation.

I'd use Google Translate, but I can't.

We don't have cell phone service.

We're in a pocket in a canyon...

No, no, no.

It just-- Pshh!

He's trying to open the system

so that he can get more coolant in there,

but it's much too hot.

At almost 11,000 feet above sea level,

the boiling coolant will burst out

under the low air pressure

if the lid comes off.

We're at 11,000 feet.

It just can't.

It's not good.

You're gonna lose all your coolant.

La pression.

No, it's-it-- We're up high.

It-it does not work...

It does not work like down on low ground.

We don't have time for that, you're blocking the road.

No, no, no, no,

we can't do that.

And he just wouldn't listen,

and he goes and opens this thing.

And there goes his coolant.

It's not good, it's not good.

-We're up high-- -Sí, sí.

You're gonna lose all your coolant.

No, we can't do that.

You're blocking the road.

11,000 feet above sea level in Colorado...

See, and there goes his coolant.

The driver didn't speak any English whatsoever,

and he goes and opens this thing,

and now we have a spew of coolant

coming out of this truck,

and it's just a mess.

It's not good.

At this elevation, everything wants to explode.

11 from 01.

We're blocking a lane up here...

Charlie's only hope

is to call his mechanic to the scene

for an emergency repair.

He's got a heater hose

that blew underneath his cab,

If you can come up and help me out,

that'd be great.

My adrenaline's pumping.

We have traffic going 65, 70 miles an hour

right next to you,

and we gotta get outta there as quick as possible.

Luckily,

the mechanic is close by,

because traffic is building.

I can't communicate with this guy at all.

Help is on scene in just a few minutes.

All right.

He just blew most of his coolant out.

He's got some leak underneath the cab.

Matt's gonna take a look

and see if he can't pinch that line off temporarily,

get him out of the lane.

Matt is able to make a quick patch job,

and top up the coolant,

a temporary fix

to get the driver to the next exit.

Perfect.

It's very common

to run up on people that can't make decisions

because of the environment and what's going on.

We do have compassion on those people,

and we just wanna help them in the best way possible,

and we just want to get them out of there

so that we don't have secondary incidents.

Just another day in the life

on Vail Pass, I-70.

Look at you, and your big bad boy cables.

In Utah,

squeezed between traffic and open water,

the Stauffer's crew is rigged and ready

to roll the semi upright.

We've got to be precise.

We still need to get this uprighted

without laying this back over on the other side,

putting it back into traffic.

Okay, ready?

Good. Have him get the tractor started.

So Kevan will be rolling the tractor

and the front of the trailer,

and the rotator will be rolling the back of the trailer.

Heavy on the front, Austin.

Have him get that front going.

Heavy on the nose.

We want to try to keep these things in line

the best that we can,

but you want the tractor to be leading the trailer

a little bit

to help pull the front of the trailer over.

...and that's up to Kevan.

Okay, hold it, Kev.

Let him catch up with the trailer.

We have to be methodical.

We have to not rush into things,

and we have to work together

in order to make this happen.

That trailer's going to be dangling.

Okay, let's take 'er down.

Mint.

It went mint, dog.

Went really well.

I mean, nice and soft.

It went just as planned.

All right.

Let's get this thing hooked up,

and let's get out of here.

Stop.

I think the crew's feeling really good

about how this one went.

-Nice job. -I think we're ready

to get the heck out of here. -Good job.

Let's go. -Good job, Kev.

It's hard to say that any recovery goes textbook,

but this was pretty close.

With us pulling away,

it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

We got it done fairly fast.

We can work as a team,

and what we do, we do it really well.

What's for dinner?

French fries!

Should be a sunny one

around Cañon City today.

The rain and snow

are sticking closer to mountains.

Bringing in some muscle.

We got a big one today.

On the eastern edge of the Rockies,

Ciaran Loomis and his Reliable Towing crew

are on the move south,

where the mountains give way to dry, rocky terrain

known as high desert.

Today we're winching out a big excavator.

It fell into a sinkhole.

Gross weight's about 200,000 pounds on it.

Based 200 kilometres north in Longmont,

Reliable usually works this highway

through the Rocky Mountain foothills.

Some of the terrain here,

we go from, you know,

being flat land here

to some pretty scenic mountains.

Joining Ciaran for this job

is his older brother, Kevin.

I see him as my younger brother,

but as far as he's still the boss.

For me, at least,

it's easy to, like, separate the two.

We've been trying to do the elite work.

We get jobs, and we get 'em done.

We get 'em done right.

We are a specialized company

in doing heavy recoveries,

and I think we're pretty darn good at it.

We're small and mighty,

and we kind of punch above our weight.

Today they're facing a massive test.

We're definitely in a heavyweight battle

against one big machine.

That's a very tight little spot to work in.

We're working in someone's backyard, pretty much.

It's stuck. It's buried in a sandpit.

Whole ground is soft.

Yeah, all the way from up there,

there's standing water in this field right here, so...

Yeah.

Welcome to the high desert.

There's water right there.

Yup.

They just had a storm roll in there.

The recent weather that we had in the area

melted down,

and it all filtered into this basin,

so the groundwater was very high,

and the excavator was so heavy

that the track broke through.

Yeah, you can already see it breaking up.

Yeah.

The saturated soil gave way

under the heavy weight,

and it could happen again.

We're on borrowed time on that ground.

There's two more anchors.

We can go get more if you need.

I think between the two wreckers

and these,

I don't think we're going to have any more room.

It's going to be a real tight recovery.

It's a very tight little spot to work in.

Let's probably do a quick walkaround with my guys,

and kind of see what we got to do.

In the high desert of Colorado,

Reliable Towing is facing a heavy job

on unstable ground,

and the challenges keep coming.

So we are actually in somebody's driveway

rescuing this close to 200,000-pound excavator

and drill head.

We got fences, buildings, water lines, electrical lines.

This is a real tight one.

Very little room

to wrestle such a mammoth weight

from the grip of the sinkhole.

Let's figure out what we're doing in here.

Everything has a weight,

and dispersing it when you get to a job like this

is a big key to not burying a truck

and being able to recover an excavator.

It looks like we could go

under those hydraulic lines...

to the cylinder on the other side

and come out and over.

As you're picking it, he's pulling it,

I'm pulling it.

We had to really kind of calculate

where our trucks were going to be,

and that we didn't have the option

of moving stuff around.

Plan A had to be Plan A

and no other plan.

Plan A...

Ciaran's rotator will lift and slide the drill head,

while the two wreckers ease the excavator

from the sinkhole,

and they'll use a second excavator and a loader

as anchors to direct the pull.

I'm going to back the rotator in now

and get back down in here.

But pulling this much weight

will put extreme pressure

on the soft earth below.

We need to spread everything out

and reduce the compression on the ground,

and especially once I put my full weight on these,

it could come down into the ground pretty easily.

We got a ton of iron in a small spot.

Just some light cloud

up in the mountains around Vail

with plenty of blue skies.

The temperatures are currently hovering

just around the freezing mark.

200 kilometres north,

I-70 is finally getting a break

after days of relentless snow.

How's it looking?

But off of the highway,

Mountain Recovery is back at work.

Had a mixer that came around the corner here,

and looks like it lost the steer tire,

and the weight of the cement

took him the rest of the way over.

You can't really wait with these.

You gotta get stuff done as fast as you can.

The cement is drying as we're sitting here.

Concrete truck 101.

the truck slid and rolled over the edge.

The driver was unharmed,

but now the truck is at risk.

It's a big deal if the cement dries.

Then they got to chip it all out of the drum

and all that,

so just trying to get everything rigged up

as fast as we can,

and get this thing rolled over.

So Big Jon will cradle the drum

while Kory pulls down,

or spikes the cab.

Together, they need to quickly lift the truck upright.

We got a chain going from the frame

wrapped around the drum to the other side

so that way, when we roll it over,

this whole drum will stay attached

and not come apart.

Yeah, keep pulling.

I'm hooked up.

You ready for me?

Yeah, if you want to start pulling that over.

I'm going to stand with you.

I can just see my truck better.

Right? You good?

Come on...

Keep going, you lead it.

Hold.

Ooh.

Come on.

Come on, baby!

Yeah... it's all you.

The truck might be on its wheels,

but coaxing it onto the road

is a whole other challenge.

So, we got to get up this big embankment.

It's going to be a little bit of a fight.

Let's get you pulled forward

and get your actual spade in,

and get you nosed out towards the...

Yeah.

This truck's at a 45-degree angle

on this embankment right now,

and there's a big concern

that we lose control over this,

and it rolls down the hill.

It's hard to tell with that bank

what it's going to want to do.

It's not gonna be easy.

It's a lot of heavy stuff.

This one is gonna be a fight for sure.

Back in the high desert of Colorado,

the Reliable crew

has been assembling their heaviest hardware

for a heavyweight battle.

How do you want to start the rigging

on the back side of this?

There is some pretty big shackle points there,

so we're going to need some big chains.

There's some math involved

in figuring out what the machine weighs,

and then that tells us how many lines we need.

We're doing this extra step

taking care of all our rigging

because if the winch cable breaks,

it's... very scary.

Okay, so now that line needs to come back

through a block here at the middle.

I'll put some more shackles on this side.

With that much rigging,

that's where Kevin and I have the experience

of laying out that stuff.

You can't just willy-nilly put winch lines here and there.

This is a lot of rigging to keep straight.

We're going to end up

running somewhere around 10 lines to this.

Their rotator and two wreckers

will share the load

via a complex network of winch lines.

This is mentally, uh, challenging.

On a scale of one to ten,

this is definitely an eight or a nine.

They need it to be perfect,

but they can't take any more time.

All right, we're good.

Let's get this sucker up out of here.

We gotta get it out of this sand pit

before it goes any further in there.

We are ready to go.

Kevin, go in a little bit with yours.

But they've barely started...

Ciaran, hold on!

...and already,

the ground is giving out.

Holy cow, man.

Okay, all stop, all stop.

Hands up off of everything.

My outrigger, it's surface depth already.

Geez, it's soft.

Holy moly.

You guys got eyes on that tank?

Back near Vail,

Kory has repositioned

so the Mountain Recovery crew

can pull the cement truck up onto flat ground.

All right, let's do it.

Hey, you're leaning pretty hard.

Do you see that?

Sometimes the concrete's too hard,

and it just sticks on that wall,

and the whole thing wants to roll over

the whole time you're dealing with it.

Hold on a second.

Okay, I'm holding.

Concrete wants to be on the bottom.

Right.

Trying to find its center.

Oh, look at that frame twist.

The embankment is just so steep.

You know, if we're not careful,

this truck can go over,

and then we will have way more work to do.

What do you want me to do?

Keep coming.

In Colorado,

the crew is fighting

to wrangle the cement truck to the road.

Oh, look at that frame twist.

I'm pretty much holding it in the air.

Oh, it's going to fight it.

The unstable load in the drum

is fighting back

as they try to ease it up the embankment.

The truck just wants to come up the bank, up the hill,

not over the top of the bank.

We need it to come over the top of the bank.

It's starting to put a lot of pressure on my truck.

We can put my drag winch on it,

and we can winch it right through the snowbank too.

Yeah.

Let's do that.

We're just going to fight that the whole way.

This edge is just way too steep

for it to want to naturally come up as we pull it.

We're just going to drag it up the ditch.

Rather than fight it.

You can just free-spool and pull forward.

Get out there farther.

So, plan B is we're going to winch it up the ditch,

so there's a pull-out on the side of the road

about a hundred feet up the road.

Should be able to just pull it right up onto the road there,

and we don't have to worry about the big bank on the side.

To pull it along on its wheels...

...they'll need some help

in the driver's seat.

All right, Gil, you jump in there.

You're steering.

Try to go out into the ditch a little bit.

Sure.

-Should I fire it up? -You gotta muscle it.

Yeah, buddy.

These trucks, when they don't have power steering,

it's heavy, it's a 20,000-pound steer axle

that you're trying to manually turn.

It's not going to be easy.

No.

We put Gil in the truck

'cause he always wanted to be a cement truck driver.

If I'd have known I was going to be doing this...

Are they jello?

...I wouldn't have worked out!

Muscle as much as you can.

Gil, he's steering.

We're trying to keep it up off that embankment

so it doesn't roll.

You can't really get it because it's locked in.

Yeah.

Is the wheel turning?

Not really.

It's just such a hard angle right now.

He's still fighting.

Yeah.

It's going to fight all the way.

Stop.

It looks like it's hollow underneath this road

where the rotator is.

In the high desert,

the Reliable crew has been racing

to brace their outriggers.

How many more do you need?

kind of like a ice recovery, almost,

of you can't break the ice,

because you're just going to fall in.

We had to kind of regroup on the front outrigger

and build a bigger platform for that outrigger

so we would not give out.

They need to better distribute

the weight of their trucks

under the force of the heavy pull ahead.

Nice job, guys.

All right, Kevin, you ready?

Josh, you good?

Yup.

Time for round two.

Crunch time.

There's a lot of eyes on you.

We gotta do this correctly.

If you want to start

just lifting this just a little bit.

Game on.

Okay, go up a little more.

You still winching in on Josh's?

-Yes. -Okay.

-Hey, Kevin... -Yeah.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Yeah.

Bring in your winch a little bit, Kevin.

Yeah.

How are you looking, Ciaran?

It's looking good here.

Starting to move a little bit.

Keep winching in, Josh.

So if one of those lines snap,

we could lose the excavator back down the hole,

could bend the boom,

tip the rotator over.

You could have catastrophic failure

very quickly.

But right now, the force of the pull

is causing a different problem

for the rotator.

That thing's sinking.

Do we want to do all-stop for a second,

or keep going?

Ciaran could stop

and add more support for the outrigger,

but that delay

poses its own danger.

We're so far into a recovery like this

that worse things can happen if we start redoing everything.

We could be on borrowed time on this ground.

Let's get this thing going.

It's a gamble I have to take,

and I'm hoping that it works out.

Okay.

Why don't you bring your lines in

as much as you can there, Josh?

He's starting to settle down in the back there.

Yeah, there we go, he's starting to spin now.

You can boom down a little bit, too, if you want.

Excellent.

Yeah, why don't we drop our rigging,

so then he can just go back that way?

We're out of here.

That went real smooth.

Yep, you guys are bad-ass.

The excavator is out...

Ah...

...but the ground around them

is giving way.

Oh, my gosh.

And then everything pretty much started sinking.

Holy cow, man.

Watching that thing just fricking...

That is just wanting to go down, and down, and down.

Oh, my gosh.

Holy!

Just when you think

you're going home.

The other front-end loader getting stuck

and sinking in the ground right now...

The loader that Ciaran's crew

was using as an anchor

is sinking fast.

You could see

the earth was just cracking away,

and we had Josh's truck on one side

and the escape route was on the other,

and we were definitely in a time crunch.

Yeah!

It's getting his truck out of here.

It's a race to rescue the loader

before their own equipment suffers the same fate.

It was nerve-racking.

It was like DEFCON 5 happened,

and we needed to move before we got swallowed up.

Phew!

I'm glad to see that thing rolling!

We got 'em all out.

We're on hard ground.

It's a big relief.

I'm proud of my team,

proud of the company,

from where we started

to kinda jobs like this.

Let's get the hell out of here.

I think we're probably

one of the strongest tow companies

size for size, pound for pound, for sure.

We're going home tonight.

It's locked in the pitch.

-Is it? -Yeah.

Back near Vail,

the Mountain Recovery crew

is fighting to get the truck aimed in the right direction,

as Kory tries to move it along the embankment.

It's all on Kory now.

It's not easy turning these huge tires...

Yeah, she's coming a little bit.

...so he's relying on me

winching forward

to lessen up the friction

so he can manhandle that thing around.

There it goes.

Yeah!

Now you're getting 'em to turn.

That was the help I was waiting for off that bank.

I'm not in love with how far it's leaning.

Right there, Charlie?

A little bit more.

A little more, yeah!

Perfect. Hold it right there.

Yeah, that's better.

Better, but still not ideal.

I just don't like coming up

on this hard snowbank right here,

'cause then it wants

to roll again or something.

Go the other way.

Just a little nervous about it.

Right now, we're coming in the snowbank,

so, I mean, it's going to increase the resistance,

like, big time, so...

we're just going to kind of ease through it,

and see if we can push through there.

Yup. Yup.

How's that clearance looking over there?

You're good over here.

Yup. Yup.

-Is that where you want it? -Yeah, we're good there.

Okay, I'm coming out.

It's out of the ditch.

We've got it up here.

Should be good to go.

It's a hard-won victory

after a hard-hitting storm.

They don't pay me enough for this job.

An ambulance, heading up the canyon.

That usually means a wreck.

Holy...

Okay, here we come.

Collin and I are probably the only ones

crazy enough to do something like this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Bad Grandpa down.

Hold it!

Seriously, dude!

Traffic ain't stopping for nothing.

It's a safety risk.

I mean, it gets nerve-racking.
