1
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:25,734
This time
on Highway Thru Hell...
2
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:27,736
This is just
going to be ugly.
3
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:29,486
...rocking the rollover...
4
00:00:29,486 --> 00:00:30,571
She's a little heavy.
5
00:00:30,571 --> 00:00:32,073
...a fresh team...
6
00:00:32,073 --> 00:00:33,033
It's smokin'.
7
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,408
...over the edge...
8
00:00:34,408 --> 00:00:35,701
No!
9
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:37,746
That's not good.
10
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:38,954
...Jamie...
11
00:00:38,954 --> 00:00:39,914
Back end's going over.
12
00:00:39,914 --> 00:00:42,042
...holds on...
13
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:44,418
Whoa, that's tippy, eh?
14
00:00:44,418 --> 00:00:46,545
...and Aggressive...
15
00:00:46,545 --> 00:00:47,881
Hold on, hold on.
16
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,091
...gets down and dirty.
17
00:00:50,091 --> 00:00:51,843
Holy!
18
00:00:57,473 --> 00:01:00,476
On southern
British Columbia's Highway 3...
19
00:01:07,816 --> 00:01:11,069
...truckers navigate
the twisting route...
20
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:18,661
...through
the Cascade Mountains.
21
00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:20,954
Anybody
who's travelled Highway 3
22
00:01:20,954 --> 00:01:23,248
knows it's a switchback area.
23
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:26,460
Rock face on one side,
24
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:28,421
then there's a cliff
on the other.
25
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:29,588
Very narrow roads.
26
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,593
...but as daylight fades...
27
00:01:38,305 --> 00:01:41,016
...30 minutes
south of Princeton...
28
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,989
Heading to the mess
29
00:01:55,989 --> 00:01:58,284
in a Reliable Towing pickup...
30
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:01,370
Speed is a lot
of the factor around here.
31
00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:05,875
...Merritt
regional manager Laine Paré...
32
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:08,502
If you're not
coming down that hill right,
33
00:02:08,502 --> 00:02:09,670
somebody's gonna get hurt.
34
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:12,090
This is my backyard.
35
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:13,466
I like to be one of those guys
36
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:15,843
that makes sure
that we're up there
37
00:02:15,843 --> 00:02:16,635
cleaning the roads up.
38
00:02:17,762 --> 00:02:19,806
Let's go!
39
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:23,016
...following
in Reliable's 35-tonne heavy,
40
00:02:23,016 --> 00:02:24,561
Big Blue...
41
00:02:24,561 --> 00:02:27,729
Got a call from
the RCMP, like, an hour ago.
42
00:02:27,729 --> 00:02:31,192
...junior operator Josh Bunce.
43
00:02:31,192 --> 00:02:32,860
We're just
trying to get there
44
00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:33,819
as quick as we can.
45
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,990
I come from
a mining background,
46
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:40,909
and it's got a lot
of similarities with towing.
47
00:02:40,909 --> 00:02:42,495
I always admired the tow trucks,
48
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:43,621
and I always thought
the wreckers
49
00:02:43,621 --> 00:02:45,581
were very impressive
pieces of equipment.
50
00:02:46,707 --> 00:02:48,293
Yo! Man, this sucks.
51
00:02:53,381 --> 00:02:56,425
This is just
going to be ugly.
52
00:02:58,051 --> 00:02:59,596
Okay...
53
00:02:59,596 --> 00:03:04,099
Also on scene,
another Reliable 35-tonne,
54
00:03:04,099 --> 00:03:08,812
with junior operator
Keelan Weldring.
55
00:03:08,812 --> 00:03:11,481
This is my first rollover
and recovery at night.
56
00:03:11,481 --> 00:03:14,151
What a bunch of carnage.
57
00:03:14,151 --> 00:03:15,569
Right?
58
00:03:15,569 --> 00:03:17,864
It is on its side,
totally blocking the road.
59
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:20,074
She's a little heavy.
60
00:03:20,074 --> 00:03:21,909
This is a fully loaded trailer.
61
00:03:21,909 --> 00:03:24,454
The cargo is produce,
62
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:25,872
mainly apples.
63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,373
With the wreck
64
00:03:28,373 --> 00:03:31,377
blocking both lanes
of the highway...
65
00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:33,378
Okay.
66
00:03:33,378 --> 00:03:37,342
...the team needs to act fast.
67
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:39,176
We want to get the truck
68
00:03:39,176 --> 00:03:40,802
off the road as quick as we can,
69
00:03:40,802 --> 00:03:43,181
so everybody can carry on
with their life.
70
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:13,336
On Highway 3...
71
00:04:21,886 --> 00:04:24,137
...the pressure's on...
72
00:04:24,137 --> 00:04:25,639
Concerning, right?
73
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,725
...for Team Reliable
to clear a semi
74
00:04:28,725 --> 00:04:30,478
blocking the road.
75
00:04:30,478 --> 00:04:32,187
Okay...
76
00:04:32,187 --> 00:04:34,148
It is a very critical artery
77
00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:35,608
from Vancouver to Alberta.
78
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:38,778
Definitely priority right now
79
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,487
is to get the trailer
out of the way
80
00:04:40,487 --> 00:04:41,613
and get the lanes open.
81
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:50,831
Half an hour earlier,
82
00:04:50,831 --> 00:04:52,875
the fully loaded semi
83
00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:54,752
lost control...
84
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,089
...slamming
into the rock face...
85
00:05:00,716 --> 00:05:02,802
...before rolling over.
86
00:05:07,973 --> 00:05:09,016
We're gonna pull the trailer
87
00:05:09,016 --> 00:05:10,892
away from the truck.
88
00:05:10,892 --> 00:05:13,687
The quickest way
to clear the highway...
89
00:05:13,687 --> 00:05:16,690
Drag it right off the road.
90
00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:18,026
Sweet.
91
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:21,903
...is to do it
one piece at a time.
92
00:05:21,903 --> 00:05:23,906
I wanna get Big Blue
straight on right here.
93
00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:25,240
Okay.
94
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,910
We're gonna
hook up Big Blue,
95
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:29,077
and hopefully
just drag the trailer
96
00:05:29,077 --> 00:05:30,163
off to the side of the road.
97
00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:35,500
Okay.
98
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:36,461
Bring it back.
99
00:05:38,045 --> 00:05:39,129
Right here, bud.
100
00:05:41,048 --> 00:05:42,466
We ran a snatch block
101
00:05:42,466 --> 00:05:44,843
just to make sure we were
doubling our pulling power.
102
00:05:44,843 --> 00:05:45,762
You guys ready?
103
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:47,221
Give 'er.
104
00:05:48,889 --> 00:05:51,309
Laine
takes on the controls...
105
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,685
See if we're separating.
106
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:54,228
...so Josh...
107
00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:55,437
Okay!
108
00:05:55,437 --> 00:05:57,899
...can be his eyes on
the kingpin.
109
00:05:57,899 --> 00:05:58,899
Okay, hold on?
110
00:05:58,899 --> 00:06:00,401
Go slow.
111
00:06:00,401 --> 00:06:02,110
This trailer is fully loaded,
112
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:03,362
and it seems very heavy.
113
00:06:04,362 --> 00:06:06,156
Yup, they're separated!
114
00:06:06,156 --> 00:06:06,990
Okay.
115
00:06:06,990 --> 00:06:07,949
Whoa!
116
00:06:07,949 --> 00:06:09,911
With the loaded trailer
117
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:12,913
weighing 45,000 pounds...
118
00:06:12,913 --> 00:06:14,247
We're gonna get you to...
119
00:06:14,247 --> 00:06:15,249
Turn around?
120
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:16,375
Turn around
121
00:06:16,375 --> 00:06:17,709
and be pointed towards
the front of this.
122
00:06:17,709 --> 00:06:21,088
...Laine opts
to clear it off the road...
123
00:06:21,088 --> 00:06:23,591
-Then we'll see what we can do.
-Okay.
124
00:06:23,591 --> 00:06:27,803
...before
they figure out how to right it.
125
00:06:27,803 --> 00:06:29,721
Because there's so much weight
in the trailer...
126
00:06:29,721 --> 00:06:31,557
That's good, Josh!
127
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:36,562
...we need to find the best
angle to pull the trailer out.
128
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:38,439
There's holes right
here.
129
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:39,732
Pass me that chain?
130
00:06:41,942 --> 00:06:44,569
Soft strap around the front.
131
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,281
Strong enough?
132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,617
I think I'm gonna
double it up
133
00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:50,785
if I got enough chain.
134
00:06:50,785 --> 00:06:52,036
Oh, yeah.
135
00:06:52,036 --> 00:06:53,870
Boom.
136
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:54,913
Cool.
137
00:06:55,956 --> 00:06:58,291
I want somebody on that end
138
00:06:58,291 --> 00:06:59,877
to just watch the trailer.
139
00:06:59,877 --> 00:07:00,961
Yeah.
140
00:07:00,961 --> 00:07:02,004
And then I want
somebody on that end
141
00:07:02,004 --> 00:07:05,632
to watch the trailer, okay?
142
00:07:05,632 --> 00:07:09,177
I'm worried we may rip
the trailer in half...
143
00:07:09,177 --> 00:07:10,846
The integrity
is what we're worried about.
144
00:07:13,307 --> 00:07:16,060
...because
all the weight is pushing on it
145
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:17,603
'cause it's not sitting upright
any longer.
146
00:07:17,603 --> 00:07:19,062
Okay, here we go, boys!
147
00:07:19,062 --> 00:07:20,148
Okay!
148
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:21,524
'Kay.
149
00:07:27,654 --> 00:07:30,074
Keep going, yep!
150
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:35,997
Just making sure that
the trailer moves as one unit...
151
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,834
'cause we don't want it
to break up.
152
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:41,793
Yeah, it's all moving as one!
153
00:07:41,793 --> 00:07:43,129
Yep!
154
00:07:46,382 --> 00:07:47,425
Smokin'.
155
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:50,511
...but as the trailer
156
00:07:50,511 --> 00:07:54,139
inches off the road...
157
00:07:54,139 --> 00:07:55,016
No!
158
00:07:55,016 --> 00:07:56,600
Hang on!
159
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:17,538
180 kilometres west...
160
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:23,752
...on Highway 1...
161
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:33,721
...a green 50-tonne
is on the move...
162
00:08:33,721 --> 00:08:35,764
Just another night
on the Highway 1.
163
00:08:35,764 --> 00:08:39,184
...with
Al Quiring at the wheel.
164
00:08:39,184 --> 00:08:43,563
Fifth-wheel pin
came disconnected somehow.
165
00:08:43,563 --> 00:08:46,817
I'm heading out
onto the highway
166
00:08:46,817 --> 00:08:48,985
for a trailer disconnect
from a tractor.
167
00:08:52,948 --> 00:08:55,701
The semi
was travelling at speed...
168
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:57,662
Something happened.
169
00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,538
...when the trailer separated.
170
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:05,211
Probably made some sparks,
I bet.
171
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:08,880
It's definitely clear
that it came disconnected...
172
00:09:10,758 --> 00:09:12,301
...and fell off
the back of the truck.
173
00:09:12,301 --> 00:09:13,427
It's a lot better
174
00:09:13,427 --> 00:09:14,595
than being flipped over
on its side,
175
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:16,096
that's for sure.
176
00:09:16,096 --> 00:09:18,390
Maybe when it pinned in,
it didn't pin in right.
177
00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:23,270
With rush hour just starting,
178
00:09:23,270 --> 00:09:27,984
Al needs to remove
the dangerous distraction.
179
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:30,945
The traffic is horrendous
out there,
180
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:33,114
backed up everywhere
on the highway.
181
00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:35,115
As good a night as any
to plant potatoes.
182
00:09:38,451 --> 00:09:41,621
With the front
of the trailer flat on the road,
183
00:09:41,621 --> 00:09:45,750
it's pretty hard to get a chain
underneath the trailer.
184
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:49,504
Al is forced
to feel his way in
185
00:09:49,504 --> 00:09:51,465
to hook his chains...
186
00:09:51,465 --> 00:09:53,259
I've towed many,
many broken trailers.
187
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:58,471
It's just a process of getting
the chains set up...
188
00:09:59,472 --> 00:10:01,600
...and that'll give me enough
189
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,436
that I can pick
the front of the trailer up.
190
00:10:06,772 --> 00:10:10,234
...but as he finally
lifts the trailer...
191
00:10:12,610 --> 00:10:14,113
...a closer look...
192
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,948
Whoa!
193
00:10:16,948 --> 00:10:18,366
...reveals
194
00:10:18,366 --> 00:10:21,995
the trailer
is severely compromised.
195
00:10:21,995 --> 00:10:24,414
The trailer frame
is completely broken.
196
00:10:24,414 --> 00:10:26,417
This is gonna become
a real issue.
197
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:28,586
Need to haul this unit
off the highway.
198
00:10:29,669 --> 00:10:31,004
Just gonna have a look
in the trailer
199
00:10:31,004 --> 00:10:32,505
before we lift it right up.
200
00:10:32,505 --> 00:10:33,466
I'm gonna have to see
201
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,509
what the actual load
consists of,
202
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:37,802
and see how much weight
is on the front of that trailer.
203
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:40,181
At this point,
204
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:41,890
we're hoping
maybe we can just get it
205
00:10:41,890 --> 00:10:44,894
down to the parking lot here.
206
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:46,812
A tow man's
worst nightmare,
207
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:49,523
it's got a full load,
208
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:50,982
and the trailer frame is broken.
209
00:10:50,982 --> 00:10:52,692
Oh...
210
00:10:52,692 --> 00:10:53,818
Are you kidding me?
211
00:10:59,866 --> 00:11:02,912
Rush hour
in the Fraser Valley...
212
00:11:06,081 --> 00:11:07,832
Oh...
213
00:11:09,751 --> 00:11:10,711
What is this?
214
00:11:10,711 --> 00:11:13,047
A dropped trailer...
215
00:11:13,047 --> 00:11:15,341
It's fragile,
whatever it is.
216
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:19,052
...has Al
in a delicate situation.
217
00:11:19,052 --> 00:11:21,681
You don't want to see
the big "fragile" sign.
218
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:25,225
The load is ceramic tiles
219
00:11:25,225 --> 00:11:28,269
weighing 80,000 pounds.
220
00:11:28,269 --> 00:11:30,690
My mom always said
I was a bull in a china shop...
221
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:35,903
And I see that,
and it's like, "Whoa...
222
00:11:35,903 --> 00:11:37,363
just close the doors."
223
00:11:38,905 --> 00:11:40,908
To get the compromised trailer
224
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,409
off the road...
225
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:46,080
We're just gonna
slide the axles at the back.
226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,124
...Al will need to use
227
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:50,750
every trick he has
up his sleeve.
228
00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:52,753
It's the power of will.
229
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:57,216
See if we can get the axles
underneath it a little.
230
00:11:58,426 --> 00:12:00,427
We're gonna
move the wheels forward
231
00:12:00,427 --> 00:12:02,221
underneath the trailer
a little bit
232
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:03,639
so it's carrying more weight.
233
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,057
Yeah, going,
going, going, going.
234
00:12:07,684 --> 00:12:10,229
We only gotta go
a couple feet,
235
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:11,772
but it's sliding.
236
00:12:11,772 --> 00:12:12,730
Yeah.
237
00:12:13,774 --> 00:12:16,360
Transferring it
more onto the wheels
238
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,528
than the tow truck end
where it's broken.
239
00:12:18,528 --> 00:12:21,282
Yeah, we're locked?
240
00:12:24,618 --> 00:12:27,120
With the pressure
of traffic building...
241
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,623
All's we can do
is try our best...
242
00:12:30,624 --> 00:12:33,126
...because we only got one time
to lift it.
243
00:12:34,628 --> 00:12:38,841
...Al gambles
on the trailer holding together.
244
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:39,924
Like a house of cards.
245
00:12:41,009 --> 00:12:42,927
Just be very ginger
when you're making your moves.
246
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:50,311
Uh-oh.
247
00:12:55,691 --> 00:12:56,774
Two hours east...
248
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:01,363
Hang on!
249
00:13:01,363 --> 00:13:03,783
...on Highway 3...
250
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,408
What's the problem?
251
00:13:06,326 --> 00:13:09,163
...Reliable's tipped semi...
252
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,498
The door buckled in.
253
00:13:10,498 --> 00:13:13,793
...threatens
to spill its load.
254
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:15,251
And it started
to open that more,
255
00:13:15,251 --> 00:13:16,836
and then the whole door just...
256
00:13:16,836 --> 00:13:20,298
This load definitely
needs to be unloaded.
257
00:13:20,298 --> 00:13:21,634
The trailer's just
going to break apart.
258
00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:26,388
On a hairpin bend,
259
00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:29,600
the semi lost control,
260
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,019
smashing into the rock face,
261
00:13:33,019 --> 00:13:36,148
and flipping onto its side.
262
00:13:38,024 --> 00:13:39,235
I'll watch right here.
263
00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:41,861
Offloading the cargo now
264
00:13:41,861 --> 00:13:43,655
will take hours...
265
00:13:45,698 --> 00:13:47,534
...but with the wreck
266
00:13:47,534 --> 00:13:49,035
still blocking the highway...
267
00:13:49,035 --> 00:13:50,078
I think I'm gonna keep going.
268
00:13:50,078 --> 00:13:51,746
Laine...
269
00:13:51,746 --> 00:13:54,291
risks it all.
270
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:58,044
You have to do
what you have to do
271
00:13:58,044 --> 00:13:58,879
to get it open.
272
00:14:00,255 --> 00:14:01,215
Easy!
273
00:14:05,260 --> 00:14:06,052
Okay!
274
00:14:07,053 --> 00:14:08,221
Okay.
275
00:14:08,221 --> 00:14:11,683
With the trailer
off the road...
276
00:14:11,683 --> 00:14:12,850
We're good.
277
00:14:14,061 --> 00:14:15,770
It gives enough room
278
00:14:15,770 --> 00:14:18,731
that both lanes of traffic
can actually continue.
279
00:14:18,731 --> 00:14:21,568
I think we ought
to disconnect,
280
00:14:21,568 --> 00:14:25,114
and we'll go and focus
on the truck now.
281
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:27,448
Okay.
282
00:14:27,448 --> 00:14:30,244
This truck is broken
in three places,
283
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:33,413
so there's no real
structural frame to grab.
284
00:14:33,413 --> 00:14:35,249
We'll grab from the rear axle,
285
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:37,083
we'll grab
from the spring hanger there.
286
00:14:37,083 --> 00:14:38,126
Absolutely. I like it.
287
00:14:38,126 --> 00:14:39,211
Okay.
288
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:46,427
The plan is to get this tractor
back on its wheels,
289
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:47,885
hooked up to a tow truck,
290
00:14:47,885 --> 00:14:49,596
towed out of the way.
291
00:14:49,596 --> 00:14:51,889
We just need all this stuff
out of these live lanes
292
00:14:51,889 --> 00:14:53,308
right now.
293
00:14:53,308 --> 00:14:55,436
I'll start feeding it
through the holes on the rim
294
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:57,770
if you could just help me
make a loop.
295
00:14:57,770 --> 00:14:58,898
Yup.
296
00:15:00,607 --> 00:15:01,984
Just make sure
297
00:15:01,984 --> 00:15:04,110
that your hook
isn't in the bite.
298
00:15:04,110 --> 00:15:05,278
Okay.
299
00:15:05,278 --> 00:15:07,114
When this sucker
comes back over, right?
300
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:08,072
Yup.
301
00:15:13,453 --> 00:15:14,580
Okay, here we go, boys!
302
00:15:24,631 --> 00:15:26,091
Keep going!
303
00:15:31,179 --> 00:15:32,472
There it went.
304
00:15:32,472 --> 00:15:34,182
Hell, yeah, bro!
305
00:15:34,182 --> 00:15:35,975
Okay.
306
00:15:35,975 --> 00:15:38,019
Pretty exciting...
307
00:15:38,019 --> 00:15:40,105
to see it land on its wheels.
308
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:42,399
Good!
309
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,568
Next thing we'll do, Josh,
310
00:15:45,568 --> 00:15:47,488
is get you
right up in here somewhere
311
00:15:47,488 --> 00:15:50,115
where we can just drag
this thing off the road.
312
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:57,706
With a quick re-rig...
313
00:15:57,706 --> 00:15:58,666
Good?
314
00:15:58,666 --> 00:15:59,957
-Yup.
-Okay.
315
00:16:01,751 --> 00:16:03,796
...the tractor...
316
00:16:05,755 --> 00:16:08,841
You taking your truck
for a walk?
317
00:16:08,841 --> 00:16:09,842
Yeah.
318
00:16:09,842 --> 00:16:10,802
Got a little leash on it?
319
00:16:11,845 --> 00:16:13,681
...is off the highway.
320
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:15,682
Traffic control on 3,
321
00:16:15,682 --> 00:16:16,683
tow trucks are off the road.
322
00:16:16,683 --> 00:16:17,643
You copy that?
323
00:16:19,852 --> 00:16:21,270
In 90 minutes...
324
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:28,236
...Highway 3 is moving again...
325
00:16:28,236 --> 00:16:30,405
Very impressed
with everybody's work.
326
00:16:30,405 --> 00:16:34,368
...but the job
is only half done.
327
00:16:34,368 --> 00:16:36,370
That'll get unloaded
in the morning
328
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:38,038
during the daylight.
329
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:39,498
I think it's the safest.
330
00:16:40,374 --> 00:16:41,750
For now...
331
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:43,543
We're pretty well
good to go, I think.
332
00:16:43,543 --> 00:16:45,796
-Hell, yeah.
-Yeah.
333
00:16:45,796 --> 00:16:47,548
...the newest
Reliable members
334
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:49,173
call it a day.
335
00:16:49,173 --> 00:16:50,551
I love working with Keelan
336
00:16:50,551 --> 00:16:52,052
and Laine.
337
00:16:52,052 --> 00:16:53,386
Fearless leader. Let's go.
338
00:16:53,386 --> 00:16:55,054
Good work, man.
339
00:16:55,054 --> 00:16:56,056
Thank you. Good work.
340
00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:58,225
Really good.
341
00:16:58,225 --> 00:16:59,643
I'm proud to be on this team.
342
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:02,895
It's always
exciting for me
343
00:17:02,895 --> 00:17:05,106
when we bring on
a whole new group of people.
344
00:17:17,076 --> 00:17:18,953
On Highway 1...
345
00:17:18,953 --> 00:17:20,622
Uh-oh.
346
00:17:20,622 --> 00:17:22,665
...Al's fragile trailer...
347
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:25,961
This thing is buggered.
348
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:28,713
...has started to give way.
349
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:31,924
Pick something up
that's broken,
350
00:17:31,924 --> 00:17:34,219
and you're gonna hear settling,
crumpling, banging.
351
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:38,932
Saving
the 80,000-pound load...
352
00:17:38,932 --> 00:17:41,058
We'll fix that!
353
00:17:41,058 --> 00:17:45,689
...will require
some roadside engineering.
354
00:17:45,689 --> 00:17:48,107
We're just gonna chain
the underneath
355
00:17:48,107 --> 00:17:49,609
with, uh, a truss.
356
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:52,738
I'm hoping
I can get it picked up.
357
00:17:55,782 --> 00:17:57,785
To reinforce the trailer,
358
00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:01,788
Al will use blocks
to support the frame
359
00:18:01,788 --> 00:18:04,665
and a chain
to secure it in place,
360
00:18:04,665 --> 00:18:08,461
while he attempts to tow it
down the road...
361
00:18:10,838 --> 00:18:12,633
Think in your mind
what you need to do,
362
00:18:12,633 --> 00:18:13,800
and use the equipment
363
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,426
that you have
available with you.
364
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,471
Okay, tighten 'er up.
365
00:18:25,729 --> 00:18:27,480
There you go,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
366
00:18:28,898 --> 00:18:30,483
Whew!
367
00:18:30,483 --> 00:18:32,152
...but the true test...
368
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:33,487
Okay, here we go.
369
00:18:34,488 --> 00:18:35,823
...will be
transporting
370
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:37,449
the fragile cargo...
371
00:18:38,616 --> 00:18:40,536
Come on, sweetheart.
372
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:44,330
...14 kilometres...
373
00:18:44,330 --> 00:18:45,999
Heave ho.
374
00:18:45,999 --> 00:18:48,335
...back to the yard.
375
00:18:48,335 --> 00:18:49,877
My biggest concern
376
00:18:49,877 --> 00:18:53,673
is we're one big bump away
from-- "Krrr!"
377
00:18:53,673 --> 00:18:55,384
a mosaic, anywhere.
378
00:18:57,719 --> 00:18:58,886
You can't really see it,
379
00:18:58,886 --> 00:19:00,096
but I've got a tight grip
on my seat.
380
00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:05,685
We'll just take our time.
381
00:19:05,685 --> 00:19:08,020
We're tap dancing here.
382
00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:10,523
I'd rather just be
a couple extra minutes,
383
00:19:10,523 --> 00:19:11,482
be cautious...
384
00:19:12,692 --> 00:19:14,987
Long as we don't hit
a big bump,
385
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:16,989
we should make it to the yard.
386
00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:22,786
Easy, easy, easy...
387
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:28,375
After 25 long minutes...
388
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:30,586
Right on, happy landing.
389
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:35,173
...Al finally
eases the trailer into homebase.
390
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:41,721
We always look forward
to getting that load
391
00:19:41,721 --> 00:19:43,140
over the county line
392
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:44,223
when we pull into the yard.
393
00:19:44,223 --> 00:19:46,309
Beauty.
394
00:19:46,309 --> 00:19:48,228
Every day is a challenge.
395
00:19:48,228 --> 00:19:49,354
That's what I enjoy
396
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:52,566
is the diversity
of the recovery business.
397
00:19:52,566 --> 00:19:54,859
We made it home
for dinner.
398
00:20:08,457 --> 00:20:10,250
The next day,
399
00:20:10,250 --> 00:20:13,211
back on Highway 3...
400
00:20:14,296 --> 00:20:17,423
Reliable Towing's heavy metal
401
00:20:17,423 --> 00:20:19,092
is on the move...
402
00:20:19,092 --> 00:20:21,761
Going up
to a rolled-over trailer.
403
00:20:21,761 --> 00:20:25,348
...with
lead operator Andy Cullum.
404
00:20:26,724 --> 00:20:29,394
Laine and Josh had
taken care of the tractor.
405
00:20:30,436 --> 00:20:31,438
I'm gonna come up
406
00:20:31,438 --> 00:20:32,772
and take care of
the trailer for them.
407
00:20:36,067 --> 00:20:37,818
Hours earlier...
408
00:20:37,818 --> 00:20:39,613
That one goes there.
409
00:20:39,613 --> 00:20:42,615
...50,000 pounds of apples...
410
00:20:42,615 --> 00:20:45,076
You're just building,
middle out.
411
00:20:45,076 --> 00:20:46,953
..were removed
from the trailer.
412
00:20:46,953 --> 00:20:49,748
Beautiful, beautiful.
413
00:20:51,916 --> 00:20:53,250
Now...
414
00:20:54,627 --> 00:20:56,296
I see a trailer
on its side
415
00:20:56,296 --> 00:20:58,089
right on the side of the road.
416
00:20:59,590 --> 00:21:01,468
...Andy gets his first look
417
00:21:01,468 --> 00:21:03,553
at the emptied trailer.
418
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:08,307
Let's go have a look.
419
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:12,645
Mmm, apple pie.
420
00:21:14,314 --> 00:21:17,442
The door is toast.
421
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,818
Trailer's looking kinda rough.
422
00:21:18,818 --> 00:21:21,488
That's not going to be
very nice.
423
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,366
If you get it wrong,
424
00:21:25,366 --> 00:21:27,827
the box could crumble
425
00:21:27,827 --> 00:21:29,288
and end up across the highway.
426
00:21:30,372 --> 00:21:32,499
Nobody told me
it was this bad.
427
00:21:37,753 --> 00:21:39,756
On Highway 3...
428
00:21:39,756 --> 00:21:41,549
The whole wall's
messed up.
429
00:21:41,549 --> 00:21:44,176
...Andy's in a solo face-off...
430
00:21:44,176 --> 00:21:45,761
Nasty.
431
00:21:45,761 --> 00:21:48,890
...with a beaten-up trailer.
432
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:50,099
The back door
got pretty ripped up.
433
00:21:50,099 --> 00:21:53,644
When we stand this up,
it could fall apart.
434
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:57,356
Being the flagship truck guy...
435
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:01,028
...you're
the person they call on
436
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:02,445
to solve all their big issues...
437
00:22:02,445 --> 00:22:04,655
I'm working by myself.
438
00:22:05,656 --> 00:22:07,951
...but when you're out alone,
439
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:09,411
you need to be on it.
440
00:22:14,082 --> 00:22:15,208
You holding?
441
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:17,251
But to recover the trailer...
442
00:22:19,796 --> 00:22:24,175
...he'll need
to shut down the highway.
443
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:31,849
There's always
a crunch on time.
444
00:22:34,102 --> 00:22:35,479
You don't wanna
block the highway
445
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:36,645
any longer than needed.
446
00:22:39,231 --> 00:22:41,984
With a line
to the top of the frame
447
00:22:41,984 --> 00:22:44,820
and a line to the rear axles...
448
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:48,532
Andy starts the pull.
449
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,818
Whoo, look at that.
450
00:23:24,986 --> 00:23:25,945
Wasn't too bad.
451
00:23:27,905 --> 00:23:29,365
Roll went good.
452
00:23:29,365 --> 00:23:30,366
Nice and quick.
453
00:23:30,366 --> 00:23:32,076
Fun times.
454
00:23:33,912 --> 00:23:36,248
In less than 10 minutes...
455
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:38,500
You can let 'em go both ways.
456
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,252
...the highway is reopened.
457
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,135
Now we're gonna hook
to the front of the trailer
458
00:23:49,135 --> 00:23:50,679
and get it off the highway.
459
00:23:50,679 --> 00:23:52,847
Perfect.
460
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:56,559
Nice.
461
00:23:56,559 --> 00:23:58,228
Nothin' to it.
462
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:00,939
Looks not too bad.
463
00:24:00,939 --> 00:24:03,107
We're strapping the door,
464
00:24:03,107 --> 00:24:07,362
'cause the door frame
is not so much a frame anymore.
465
00:24:11,575 --> 00:24:13,826
The two-day recovery...
466
00:24:16,997 --> 00:24:19,958
...is finally done.
467
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:23,127
It's not just one person
or two people.
468
00:24:23,127 --> 00:24:25,505
It's our whole team
work together.
469
00:24:25,505 --> 00:24:26,714
I'm really proud
of the people we have.
470
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,470
Everybody's starting
to help out in the business.
471
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:33,680
It's good to see it.
472
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:37,726
Let's go home now.
473
00:24:55,326 --> 00:24:58,454
580 kilometres
north-east...
474
00:25:00,874 --> 00:25:03,751
...in the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains...
475
00:25:06,796 --> 00:25:08,964
...a lone 4X4 wrecker...
476
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:12,344
It's quite a ways up there.
477
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:14,804
...and Jamie Davis
478
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:18,266
are in search of a wreck.
479
00:25:18,266 --> 00:25:20,727
It's deep, this snow.
480
00:25:20,727 --> 00:25:24,521
The off-road jobs
can be quite interesting.
481
00:25:24,521 --> 00:25:26,316
You don't know
what's going to happen.
482
00:25:27,942 --> 00:25:30,945
Ten kilometres into the bush,
483
00:25:30,945 --> 00:25:34,699
Jamie arrives
to a luxury motorhome
484
00:25:34,699 --> 00:25:36,576
teetering on the edge.
485
00:25:36,576 --> 00:25:38,369
It's kind of
straddled the ditch
486
00:25:38,369 --> 00:25:39,371
on the right side,
487
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:40,497
so it's got a lean to it.
488
00:25:40,497 --> 00:25:41,748
Hello.
489
00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:43,124
The vehicle's owners...
490
00:25:43,124 --> 00:25:44,375
Hi.
491
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:47,253
...are tourists
visiting from Europe.
492
00:25:47,253 --> 00:25:51,465
I come slowly,
and I don't see the ice,
493
00:25:51,465 --> 00:25:54,134
then from one second
to the other second
494
00:25:54,134 --> 00:25:55,386
is go right,
495
00:25:55,386 --> 00:25:56,887
and then it's finished.
496
00:25:58,138 --> 00:25:59,723
You'll get people
from out of town,
497
00:25:59,723 --> 00:26:01,726
or travellers that will go
on the back roads,
498
00:26:01,726 --> 00:26:05,730
and that will become
really treacherous for them.
499
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:08,900
This one.
500
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,109
He's done a good job
501
00:26:10,109 --> 00:26:13,404
of making sure his campervan
doesn't flip over.
502
00:26:13,404 --> 00:26:16,700
But while
the owner's makeshift rigging
503
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:18,701
impresses Jamie...
504
00:26:18,701 --> 00:26:20,577
I think we could
take this off.
505
00:26:20,577 --> 00:26:21,538
Afraid he fall.
506
00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:22,579
You afraid
it's gonna fall?
507
00:26:22,579 --> 00:26:24,915
Afraid, yeah, afraid.
508
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:29,003
Yeah, I think we have to undo,
if we can.
509
00:26:29,003 --> 00:26:30,838
...it's time
for the professional
510
00:26:30,838 --> 00:26:33,008
to go to work.
511
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:34,593
You just need
the right tool for the job.
512
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:35,676
-Okay.
-Thanks.
513
00:26:35,676 --> 00:26:38,096
-I'll hold that.
-Okay.
514
00:26:41,223 --> 00:26:43,977
I'm gonna plow by
a little bit,
515
00:26:43,977 --> 00:26:45,311
and then I'll back up.
516
00:26:45,311 --> 00:26:46,354
Okay.
517
00:26:46,354 --> 00:26:47,689
Okay?
518
00:26:47,689 --> 00:26:48,981
They've shipped this unit
from Switzerland.
519
00:26:48,981 --> 00:26:51,608
It's their prize possession,
520
00:26:51,608 --> 00:26:54,820
so it's really important
to pull this unit out
521
00:26:54,820 --> 00:26:55,904
and let them
carry on their trip.
522
00:26:57,073 --> 00:26:58,490
Now in position,
523
00:26:58,490 --> 00:27:01,827
Jamie can start hooking up...
524
00:27:01,827 --> 00:27:03,121
We're going to pull
on two points
525
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:04,788
so that we're steering it
back on the road
526
00:27:04,788 --> 00:27:06,082
and bringing it out
at the same time.
527
00:27:06,082 --> 00:27:10,377
...but rigging
to the $200,000 camper...
528
00:27:10,377 --> 00:27:11,421
It's plastic.
529
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:14,048
...is a delicate operation.
530
00:27:14,048 --> 00:27:16,175
Yeah, it's not good.
531
00:27:16,175 --> 00:27:18,635
They're made
to look pretty,
532
00:27:18,635 --> 00:27:21,347
they don't have heavy rigging
or pull points...
533
00:27:22,265 --> 00:27:24,768
Jamie rigs
a round sling
534
00:27:24,768 --> 00:27:26,769
to the rear axle...
535
00:27:26,769 --> 00:27:27,770
If you don't do
the right things,
536
00:27:27,770 --> 00:27:28,813
you could have more damage.
537
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:31,066
Just around like this one...
538
00:27:31,066 --> 00:27:33,026
...but
for the second pull point...
539
00:27:33,026 --> 00:27:35,403
Then we'll put
the block in there.
540
00:27:35,403 --> 00:27:37,989
...Jamie turns
to his surroundings.
541
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:40,032
We'll put this in there.
542
00:27:40,032 --> 00:27:41,326
Yeah.
543
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:43,662
We've got
some really good trees.
544
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:45,579
We can redirect
the angle of our pull
545
00:27:45,579 --> 00:27:46,663
using snatch blocks.
546
00:27:48,124 --> 00:27:49,375
Okay, locked on.
Chain's good?
547
00:27:50,626 --> 00:27:52,628
Yeah, okay.
548
00:27:52,628 --> 00:27:54,923
Tow pin is a little bit weak,
549
00:27:54,923 --> 00:27:56,340
but we will try.
550
00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:59,969
Weighing over 8,000 pounds,
551
00:27:59,969 --> 00:28:02,846
Jamie gambles on his rig point.
552
00:28:02,846 --> 00:28:04,723
Hopefully it doesn't break.
553
00:28:04,723 --> 00:28:05,849
A lot of weight
in this unit.
554
00:28:05,849 --> 00:28:07,227
I'm a little bit nervous
555
00:28:07,227 --> 00:28:09,395
on the front tow pin
being strong enough.
556
00:28:10,646 --> 00:28:13,357
They're not meant
for pulling on sideways.
557
00:28:17,694 --> 00:28:19,154
Okay.
558
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:22,241
Hold it, yeah.
559
00:28:22,241 --> 00:28:23,742
He's steering the unit
560
00:28:23,742 --> 00:28:25,702
in the right direction...
561
00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:29,249
Okay.
562
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:31,917
...so that we can bring
that front end over.
563
00:28:44,263 --> 00:28:46,974
Yeah, we have to be
careful a little bit.
564
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:50,519
Oh.
565
00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:53,189
The tree's starting to realize
the weight that's on it.
566
00:28:55,232 --> 00:28:56,233
I'm a little nervous.
567
00:28:58,819 --> 00:28:59,988
I don't want the tree
coming down.
568
00:29:02,781 --> 00:29:04,826
The driver's wife...
569
00:29:08,078 --> 00:29:09,998
...spots a problem.
570
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:11,665
Yeah, I see, I see...
571
00:29:11,665 --> 00:29:13,625
Back end's going over.
Oh, oh...
572
00:29:16,837 --> 00:29:17,838
Oh, oh...
573
00:29:18,964 --> 00:29:21,342
On a backcountry road...
574
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:25,555
I don't want to do
any more on that one...
575
00:29:25,555 --> 00:29:27,891
...a high-end camper...
576
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,768
...so we'll stop.
577
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:32,103
...threatens to topple over.
578
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:35,522
We'd better stop
579
00:29:35,522 --> 00:29:37,483
before we do end up
flipping this thing over.
580
00:29:37,483 --> 00:29:39,736
It's coming up here.
I don't like that.
581
00:29:39,736 --> 00:29:41,945
We need to get
a different tree.
582
00:29:41,945 --> 00:29:43,865
The angle
that we're pulling on
583
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:46,451
is lifting the back end
of the van up
584
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:47,367
and wanting to tip it over.
585
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:49,913
There?
586
00:29:49,913 --> 00:29:52,039
Yeah,
we gotta go to that tree.
587
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:53,374
Okay.
588
00:29:53,374 --> 00:29:55,084
We've gotta re-rig it
589
00:29:55,084 --> 00:29:56,627
so that the angle
that we're pulling on
590
00:29:56,627 --> 00:29:57,878
is gonna pull down, not up.
591
00:30:00,256 --> 00:30:02,967
Satisfied
with the new pull angle...
592
00:30:02,967 --> 00:30:05,470
Just hold on the brakes
for a minute.
593
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:07,055
Okay.
594
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:08,640
...Jamie and the driver
595
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,558
restart the pull.
596
00:30:11,558 --> 00:30:12,935
Okay.
I'll pull 'em out.
597
00:30:18,566 --> 00:30:19,942
Let 'em in neutral now.
598
00:30:19,942 --> 00:30:22,569
Yeah. Okay.
599
00:30:22,569 --> 00:30:25,323
Ooh, that's tippy, eh?
600
00:30:31,412 --> 00:30:32,372
A little bit more.
601
00:30:40,547 --> 00:30:41,588
What do you think?
602
00:30:41,588 --> 00:30:43,423
Are we on the road?
603
00:30:43,423 --> 00:30:46,051
After a quick inspection...
604
00:30:46,051 --> 00:30:47,846
Yeah, it's on the road.
605
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:52,099
...the luxury camper
is out of the ditch.
606
00:30:52,099 --> 00:30:53,684
It really
makes me feel good
607
00:30:53,684 --> 00:30:55,185
to give them a hand,
608
00:30:55,185 --> 00:30:56,186
and without any damage.
609
00:30:57,939 --> 00:31:00,107
The customer's doing
all the hard work.
610
00:31:00,107 --> 00:31:02,026
But before they leave...
611
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:03,068
Yeah.
612
00:31:03,068 --> 00:31:04,528
You could get on
as a swamper.
613
00:31:04,528 --> 00:31:06,823
Oh! Okay.
614
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:10,701
...the owner
chips in one last time.
615
00:31:10,701 --> 00:31:12,119
You know, he's hands on.
Perfect.
616
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:14,538
Now we go back to Halifax.
617
00:31:14,538 --> 00:31:19,167
With more than
5,000 kilometres to go...
618
00:31:19,167 --> 00:31:21,045
For now shipping to Hamburg.
619
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:24,382
...the couple
can continue on their journey.
620
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,593
Now, danke, it's good.
621
00:31:26,593 --> 00:31:28,176
I really enjoy
622
00:31:28,176 --> 00:31:30,887
the off-road, back woods
kind of recovery jobs.
623
00:31:32,015 --> 00:31:35,183
Jamie goes
the extra mile...
624
00:31:35,183 --> 00:31:37,854
You just do your work,
get it done,
625
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:38,730
and it's all good.
626
00:31:39,605 --> 00:31:43,067
...plowing the road
on his way out.
627
00:31:49,906 --> 00:31:52,242
600 kilometres
southwest...
628
00:31:54,328 --> 00:31:55,788
...in the Fraser Valley...
629
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,001
...a 50-tonne rotator
630
00:32:01,001 --> 00:32:03,296
heads to
an early evening call...
631
00:32:03,296 --> 00:32:04,422
We're on our way.
632
00:32:04,422 --> 00:32:06,883
...with Aggressive Towing's
633
00:32:06,883 --> 00:32:08,675
Chris Mervyn...
634
00:32:08,675 --> 00:32:11,554
We're gonna head
into Chilliwack today
635
00:32:11,554 --> 00:32:13,138
with a customer
636
00:32:13,138 --> 00:32:15,642
that unfortunately
has his truck in the ditch.
637
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:18,269
When you enjoy your job,
638
00:32:18,269 --> 00:32:19,436
you don't really work
a day in your life.
639
00:32:23,191 --> 00:32:25,233
Four or five years ago, it was
me getting all those calls.
640
00:32:26,193 --> 00:32:28,904
As I stepped back,
Merv stepped up.
641
00:32:30,114 --> 00:32:31,824
Hot on his heels
642
00:32:31,824 --> 00:32:34,285
in a 50-tonne wrecker...
643
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:35,619
Oh, accidents happen every day.
644
00:32:35,619 --> 00:32:39,749
...junior
heavy operator Jaydan Dick.
645
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:42,085
I'm running
Merv's old 50-tonne now.
646
00:32:43,211 --> 00:32:44,961
Definitely a lot of pressure.
647
00:32:44,961 --> 00:32:46,130
There's a lot more
that can go wrong.
648
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:51,009
20 minutes ahead...
649
00:32:54,137 --> 00:32:55,682
...the wreck...
650
00:32:57,517 --> 00:33:00,353
...is deep in the ditch.
651
00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:03,772
This roadway is actually
a busy thoroughfare
652
00:33:03,772 --> 00:33:06,108
to get to the upper side
of Chilliwack.
653
00:33:07,693 --> 00:33:09,820
Oh, damn.
654
00:33:09,820 --> 00:33:11,948
As daylight fades...
655
00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:13,950
Definitely
in there pretty good.
656
00:33:13,950 --> 00:33:18,538
...Team Aggressive
arrives on scene.
657
00:33:23,625 --> 00:33:25,711
Hmm.
658
00:33:25,711 --> 00:33:27,462
Not a lot of real estate.
659
00:33:27,462 --> 00:33:29,840
Yeah, tons of fun.
660
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,675
It's a very narrow roadway
we're dealing with.
661
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:34,846
Not gonna have
much outrigger out, either.
662
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:36,012
No.
663
00:33:36,012 --> 00:33:38,557
Overall,
not much room to play with.
664
00:33:38,557 --> 00:33:40,601
...but this wreck...
665
00:33:40,601 --> 00:33:44,146
We're looking at
a roll-off truck in the ditch.
666
00:33:44,146 --> 00:33:46,941
...is no ordinary dump truck.
667
00:33:46,941 --> 00:33:48,026
With a roll-off truck,
668
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:50,318
they can actually
roll the bin on and off.
669
00:33:50,318 --> 00:33:52,571
This is going to be
a big problem.
670
00:33:52,571 --> 00:33:55,115
It definitely is
a specialized vehicle.
671
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:57,660
Hopefully that'll hold up.
672
00:33:57,660 --> 00:33:59,412
It's not something
that you can really yank on
673
00:33:59,412 --> 00:34:00,371
or pull on too hard.
674
00:34:01,372 --> 00:34:02,832
The unit...
675
00:34:02,832 --> 00:34:04,291
The worst part is,
676
00:34:04,291 --> 00:34:06,126
eventually it's just
gonna be a sharp drop-off
677
00:34:06,126 --> 00:34:07,127
and a sploosh.
678
00:34:08,128 --> 00:34:11,423
...is sitting
in a foot of water.
679
00:34:11,423 --> 00:34:13,300
It's a very deep ditch.
680
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:14,719
It has definitely got water
flowing in the bottom of it.
681
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,219
Holy!
682
00:34:16,219 --> 00:34:19,347
Man, it's like "All good,
all good, all good, all bad."
683
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:26,773
In the Fraser Valley...
684
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:33,153
...on a narrow
stretch of road...
685
00:34:33,153 --> 00:34:35,030
Is she empty
or loaded?
686
00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:37,032
...Merv and Jaydan...
687
00:34:37,032 --> 00:34:38,284
Empty.
688
00:34:38,284 --> 00:34:41,036
...face
a specialized roll-off truck
689
00:34:41,036 --> 00:34:44,623
stuck in a waterway.
690
00:34:44,623 --> 00:34:45,791
It's fully in the ditch,
691
00:34:45,791 --> 00:34:47,043
on its side, pretty much.
692
00:34:48,043 --> 00:34:49,128
Oh, hold on, Big Rig.
693
00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:51,588
Good enough.
694
00:34:51,588 --> 00:34:53,382
I don't think your boots
695
00:34:53,382 --> 00:34:54,675
are gonna help you in that.
696
00:34:54,675 --> 00:34:55,802
Yeah, no.
697
00:34:55,802 --> 00:34:57,512
I'm not a huge fan of water.
698
00:34:57,512 --> 00:35:00,264
I don't really like swimming
or being wet.
699
00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:03,184
Okay, so this cable
goes to this rail.
700
00:35:03,184 --> 00:35:05,644
Working in tight quarters...
701
00:35:05,644 --> 00:35:07,188
That way
when I swing my boom,
702
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:08,271
it comes out proper, yeah.
703
00:35:08,271 --> 00:35:10,942
...Merv takes
full advantage
704
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:12,985
of his rotating boom.
705
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,447
We're looking to keep a lane
of traffic open at least...
706
00:35:19,407 --> 00:35:22,327
...and the rotator just makes it
easy to achieve that.
707
00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:25,331
Hey, come
hold the snatch block.
708
00:35:25,331 --> 00:35:26,414
I'll pop the ring up.
709
00:35:27,583 --> 00:35:28,583
Yup.
710
00:35:31,503 --> 00:35:35,340
With the 50-tonne
pulling the front,
711
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:38,594
and the rotator
lifting the back,
712
00:35:38,594 --> 00:35:42,014
they'll coax the truck
out of the ditch.
713
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,309
Try one,
714
00:35:46,309 --> 00:35:48,103
we'll see if we can start
making that come up.
715
00:35:48,103 --> 00:35:51,273
We got that shackle
sideloaded pretty good.
716
00:35:51,273 --> 00:35:54,360
With 16,000 pounds
on the line...
717
00:35:56,862 --> 00:35:59,114
Watch your head.
It may go flying.
718
00:35:59,114 --> 00:36:00,574
Okay.
719
00:36:00,574 --> 00:36:04,786
...all eyes
are on their rigging...
720
00:36:04,786 --> 00:36:06,454
Fighting the bank
on the way up
721
00:36:06,454 --> 00:36:10,041
adds a lot of extra strain
to the winch cables.
722
00:36:11,085 --> 00:36:12,085
Keep going.
723
00:36:12,085 --> 00:36:13,713
...but as they winch
724
00:36:13,713 --> 00:36:14,713
against the bank...
725
00:36:19,552 --> 00:36:21,429
...the wreck...
726
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:24,724
...threatens to tip.
727
00:36:24,724 --> 00:36:26,474
Okay, hold on.
728
00:36:27,684 --> 00:36:28,894
I do not want
to make the phone call
729
00:36:28,894 --> 00:36:30,021
to say it rolled over.
730
00:36:34,065 --> 00:36:35,025
You want
that second line on, or...?
731
00:36:35,025 --> 00:36:36,693
I think what I wanna do
732
00:36:36,693 --> 00:36:38,570
is put a grey strap on it
733
00:36:38,570 --> 00:36:41,282
and come around
the back side of the bin.
734
00:36:41,282 --> 00:36:42,449
We're gonna
wrap a strap around it
735
00:36:42,449 --> 00:36:43,576
just to give it
a little more support.
736
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:46,244
We'll chuck that up and over.
737
00:36:46,244 --> 00:36:49,123
This truck's probably worth,
you know, $150,000.
738
00:36:49,123 --> 00:36:51,500
I can't see the other side.
739
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:52,626
We wanna make sure
740
00:36:52,626 --> 00:36:53,710
this thing
comes up on its wheels
741
00:36:53,710 --> 00:36:55,045
and stays on its wheels
the whole time.
742
00:36:56,380 --> 00:36:59,467
But rigging
to the other side...
743
00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:01,469
Argh! I'm the wreck monster.
744
00:37:01,469 --> 00:37:03,179
...means someone
745
00:37:03,179 --> 00:37:06,431
has to brave
the water-filled ditch.
746
00:37:06,431 --> 00:37:07,724
I'm so getting wet.
747
00:37:07,724 --> 00:37:09,684
Oh, that's cold.
748
00:37:09,684 --> 00:37:11,019
Yep, mm-hmm.
749
00:37:11,019 --> 00:37:14,106
Being
the junior guy on scene,
750
00:37:14,106 --> 00:37:15,690
I've got to get down and dirty
when I have to.
751
00:37:15,690 --> 00:37:18,902
That's really
freaking cold water.
752
00:37:18,902 --> 00:37:20,320
Oh my.
753
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,657
Yeah, it's not gonna be
warm water.
754
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:23,949
Man...
755
00:37:23,949 --> 00:37:26,034
Cold water
builds character.
756
00:37:26,034 --> 00:37:27,286
I have more than
enough character.
757
00:37:27,286 --> 00:37:28,663
I don't need to be
in that cold water.
758
00:37:31,289 --> 00:37:33,376
Okay, send 'er to the moon.
759
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:34,793
-Ready?
-Yeah.
760
00:37:34,793 --> 00:37:36,253
We don't call 'em
swampers for nothing.
761
00:37:38,213 --> 00:37:39,882
Back to work!
762
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:43,177
With the extra line
now in place...
763
00:37:43,177 --> 00:37:44,762
Pull a little bit here.
764
00:37:44,762 --> 00:37:45,679
Pull a little bit?
765
00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:47,389
Yeah.
766
00:37:47,389 --> 00:37:51,393
...they begin round two.
767
00:37:55,438 --> 00:37:56,815
Keep coming?
768
00:37:56,815 --> 00:37:59,277
But as the roll-off truck...
769
00:37:59,277 --> 00:38:01,487
Yeah, keep going.
770
00:38:01,487 --> 00:38:03,197
...makes its way
up the bank...
771
00:38:05,949 --> 00:38:07,201
It's plowing a lot
772
00:38:07,201 --> 00:38:09,494
because we're bringing it up
a very steep angle.
773
00:38:09,494 --> 00:38:11,038
That's all bound up.
774
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:13,748
We're definitely
adding resistance.
775
00:38:18,336 --> 00:38:20,047
Hey.
776
00:38:21,047 --> 00:38:22,382
We're pulling.
777
00:38:22,382 --> 00:38:23,634
Hold on, hold on.
778
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:29,849
On a narrow roadway...
779
00:38:34,186 --> 00:38:37,523
...a 16,000-pound truck...
780
00:38:37,523 --> 00:38:38,523
Hold on, hold on.
781
00:38:38,523 --> 00:38:40,943
...has Team Aggressive
782
00:38:40,943 --> 00:38:43,487
bogged down.
783
00:38:43,487 --> 00:38:45,197
I can make my end
come up no problem,
784
00:38:45,197 --> 00:38:47,532
but yours is a fight right now.
785
00:38:47,532 --> 00:38:49,784
Just with the way
we're pulling,
786
00:38:49,784 --> 00:38:51,996
it wants to pull the nose
through the bank.
787
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:54,998
To encourage
the wreck to roll forward
788
00:38:54,998 --> 00:38:56,833
instead of sideways...
789
00:38:56,833 --> 00:38:59,128
Pull forward
five more feet.
790
00:39:00,503 --> 00:39:01,630
...Jaydan...
791
00:39:02,757 --> 00:39:05,259
...repositions his 50-tonne...
792
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:11,724
We'll try
rolling 'er up and out now.
793
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:14,226
We need to get it
on such of an angle
794
00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:15,393
where the tire starts riding
up the dirt.
795
00:39:15,393 --> 00:39:16,896
Tell me when.
796
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:18,356
Yeah.
797
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:31,786
Keep pulling
a little bit more.
798
00:39:37,916 --> 00:39:40,335
Pull 'er up a little bit here.
799
00:39:43,672 --> 00:39:45,048
As the first wheel...
800
00:39:45,048 --> 00:39:46,759
Yeah,
keep going like that.
801
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:50,054
...claws its way
onto pavement...
802
00:39:50,054 --> 00:39:52,597
Almost there, buddy.
803
00:39:52,597 --> 00:39:54,057
Hold it.
804
00:39:54,057 --> 00:39:55,934
What we should do,
805
00:39:55,934 --> 00:39:58,269
switch that to the other side
now that we're up here.
806
00:39:58,269 --> 00:40:00,231
...a final re-rig...
807
00:40:01,356 --> 00:40:03,067
Okay.
808
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,193
Give 'er.
809
00:40:04,193 --> 00:40:05,735
...and Jaydan...
810
00:40:09,322 --> 00:40:11,784
...pulls the second wheel...
811
00:40:11,784 --> 00:40:13,577
We're on the money.
812
00:40:13,577 --> 00:40:15,538
...back up onto firm ground...
813
00:40:15,538 --> 00:40:18,248
Okay, Dicky Bird,
get out of there.
814
00:40:18,248 --> 00:40:21,085
...leaving the rest
to Merv and his rotator.
815
00:40:25,797 --> 00:40:27,800
There we go.
816
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,552
Watching Merv
do something like this
817
00:40:29,552 --> 00:40:30,594
is pretty interesting.
818
00:40:32,221 --> 00:40:34,639
Probably
pretty close to your truck,
819
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:36,141
so let's go take a look at that.
820
00:40:38,226 --> 00:40:40,311
It can be
a difficult maneuver
821
00:40:40,311 --> 00:40:41,646
picking in one end of the truck
822
00:40:41,646 --> 00:40:43,273
and swinging it between two.
823
00:40:43,273 --> 00:40:44,817
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
824
00:40:44,817 --> 00:40:46,485
Hell, yeah, brother.
825
00:40:46,485 --> 00:40:48,153
Yeah, she's ready to load.
826
00:40:48,153 --> 00:40:49,112
Almost. It's like...
827
00:40:49,112 --> 00:40:50,405
Almost.
828
00:40:50,405 --> 00:40:51,824
The customer
will probably be pretty happy
829
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:53,117
that it stayed in one piece.
830
00:40:55,494 --> 00:40:58,873
I always enjoy
working with Merv.
831
00:40:58,873 --> 00:41:00,666
Everything went smoothly,
832
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:02,333
and the truck's
out of the ditch.
833
00:41:02,333 --> 00:41:04,503
Good job, homie.
834
00:41:04,503 --> 00:41:05,920
I'll see you back at the yard.
835
00:41:07,005 --> 00:41:08,965
Jaydan went swimming.
He did awesome.
836
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:12,844
Definitely nice
837
00:41:12,844 --> 00:41:14,262
one day maybe
having my own swamper.
838
00:41:33,699 --> 00:41:35,284
Days later...
839
00:41:39,538 --> 00:41:42,291
...at Aggressive
Towing's headquarters...
840
00:41:43,958 --> 00:41:46,085
You've still got
four hydraulic lines
841
00:41:46,085 --> 00:41:48,130
that's gotta be undone
and fed through.
842
00:41:48,130 --> 00:41:49,547
...Merv...
843
00:41:49,547 --> 00:41:51,509
Just checking to make
sure I've got everything.
844
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:53,260
...and Jaydan...
845
00:41:54,552 --> 00:41:57,722
...make sure
the Aggressive fleet
846
00:41:57,722 --> 00:42:01,518
is ready to launch
at a moment's notice.
847
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:05,648
Critical that we...
848
00:42:05,648 --> 00:42:07,315
we're not down
a bunch of trucks.
849
00:42:08,567 --> 00:42:11,027
Past few years, for sure,
work-life balance has changed.
850
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:14,822
Hi!
851
00:42:14,822 --> 00:42:16,199
How are you?
852
00:42:16,199 --> 00:42:19,954
Aggressive boss
Jason Davis...
853
00:42:21,413 --> 00:42:23,331
has been stepping back
854
00:42:23,331 --> 00:42:27,503
from the gritty part
of the family business.
855
00:42:27,503 --> 00:42:29,755
Merv's now
856
00:42:29,755 --> 00:42:30,755
the forefront person
that goes out...
857
00:42:30,755 --> 00:42:33,342
Just checking everything.
858
00:42:33,342 --> 00:42:34,552
...and, you know, the Jaydans
are coming up in the world.
859
00:42:37,721 --> 00:42:40,139
The time that I missed spending
860
00:42:40,139 --> 00:42:41,766
with my kids growing up,
861
00:42:41,766 --> 00:42:44,519
I can spend that time
with my grandkids for sure.
862
00:42:49,358 --> 00:42:50,442
Heads up!
863
00:42:50,442 --> 00:42:52,110
It's nice to know
that your team
864
00:42:52,110 --> 00:42:53,570
is ready to go anytime.
865
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:56,239
Yeah!
866
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,574
You can rely on them
to do whatever.
867
00:42:57,574 --> 00:42:59,242
Awesome.
868
00:42:59,242 --> 00:43:01,244
Yeah, it's...
it's perfect, it's great.
869
00:43:02,454 --> 00:43:04,373
Lunch break!
870
00:43:06,291 --> 00:43:09,961
Next time
on Highway Thru Hell...
871
00:43:09,961 --> 00:43:10,963
Something burning?
872
00:43:12,088 --> 00:43:13,298
...in deep...
873
00:43:13,298 --> 00:43:14,425
Careful, careful.
874
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:15,550
...Merv...
875
00:43:15,550 --> 00:43:17,219
No way.
876
00:43:17,219 --> 00:43:18,219
...tests the waters.
877
00:43:20,306 --> 00:43:21,599
Crushed...
878
00:43:22,974 --> 00:43:24,101
...on the Coq...
879
00:43:24,101 --> 00:43:25,728
It's friggin' frigged.
880
00:43:25,728 --> 00:43:27,478
...with Team Reliable...
881
00:43:27,478 --> 00:43:28,480
Wow!
882
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,481
...and moving day...
883
00:43:30,481 --> 00:43:31,817
Sounds really good.
884
00:43:31,817 --> 00:43:33,943
...for Jamie's precious.
885
00:43:33,943 --> 00:43:34,777
-There?
-That's it!
