00:07:54,373 --> 00:07:55,475
   [Jordon] Gotta be cautious   

149
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:56,976

 [Ty] Highway 7 is a vital route

176
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:40,680
  in between the Lower Mainland

 We've got a full lane closure. 

179

    to make sure that we can    
        get it done fast.

        Wow, what a mess.       

182
00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:04,103
              [Ty]              
  Looking at the truck itself,  

183
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:07,607
     my initial thought is,     
       is the driver okay?      

184
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:13,079
          Holy smokes.

188
00:10:30,062 --> 00:10:33,799
 [Ty] Both occupants of the car 
    and the truck were okay.    

189
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:34,700
   I'm actually quite amazed.

     There's a lot of pride     
          in this too,          

199
00:10:55,454 --> 00:10:56,422
  so if you don't get it done,  

200
00:10:56,422 --> 00:10:57,857
    it's a reflection on you.   

201
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:06,132
        [Ty] I just wanna

    The battle will begin...

     with the rear trailer.     

207
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:21,280
    [Ty] It's bent together.    

208
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:24,784
          This trailer          
  isn't going to come off easy.

            [Ty] Yup!           

211
00:11:29,989 --> 00:11:31,691
 [Ty] There's a lot of pressure 
       on the fifth wheel,      

212
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:33,292
     just 'cause of the way     
        that it's angled.

00:16:40,466 --> 00:16:42,234
   [driver] Oh, yeah, I know,   
  that shoulder's holding good. 

284
00:16:42,234 --> 00:16:44,136
         [Kirpal] Yeah.         

285
00:16:44,136 --> 00:16:49,074
     [Kirpal] If he was even    
  six inches just to the right, 

286
00:16:49,074 --> 00:16:50,576
   he would have tipped over.   

287
00:16:51,777 --> 00:16:53,078
    [Narrator] The driver...    

288
00:16:53,078 --> 00:16:54,680
      [driver] It's close,      
        but it's holding.       

289
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,448
   [Kirpal] It's close, yeah.   

290
00:16:56,448 --> 00:16:59,785
           [Narrator]           
   ...has put his back end...   

291
00:17:01,086 --> 00:17:03,255
      ...on sketchy ground.     

292
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:06,925
            [Kirpal]            
    Because one side is soft,   

293
00:17:06,925 --> 00:17:08,694
    it can tip over any time.   

294
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,030
  [Narrator] Joining Kirpal...  

295
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:12,498

            Gurkirat,           

298
00:17:15,934 --> 00:17:17,536
            or Gurk.            

299
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:20,572
  [Gurkirat] Being the youngest 
     brother of the family,     

300
00:17:20,572 --> 00:17:22,374
   I have a lot to live up to.  

301
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:25,277
        We're lucky that        
        that corner there       

302
00:17:25,277 --> 00:17:26,412
     is as strong as it is,     

303
00:17:26,412 --> 00:17:27,679
          or this thing         
  would have been on its side.  

304
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:28,814
              Yeah.             

305
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:36,722
     [Narrator] For years...    

306
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:38,490
              Okay.             

307
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:39,792
          Can you start         
       tightening this up?      

308
00:17:39,792 --> 00:17:41,527
              Yep.              

309
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:44,496
   [Narrator] ...Gurk has been  
    in the family business...   

310
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:48,400
       He's still learning      
 about the recoveries and stuff,

311
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,135
      but he's good at it.      

312
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:54,506
           [Narrator]           
   ...with his older brothers.  

313
00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:56,542
         You're playing,

315
00:17:58,677 --> 00:18:00,846
     Yep, pick something up!    

316
00:18:08,287 --> 00:18:10,489
     [Gursharan] Be careful     
 when you're driving this thing.

317
00:18:10,489 --> 00:18:12,024
    It's uneven ground here.    

318
00:18:12,024 --> 00:18:13,759
   [Kirpal] In the beginning,   

319
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,027
    they didn't know nothing.   

320
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:18,697
     Now, they are masters.     

321
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:21,567
             Ah! Oh!            

322
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:25,838
           [laughing]           

323
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:29,408
      [Narrator] Tonight...     

324
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:31,009
      I figure we can just      
          rig a lowline         

325
00:18:31,009 --> 00:18:31,944
     and just pull him over.    

326
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,345
         -No, you can't.        
              -No?              

327
00:18:35,614 --> 00:18:37,382
           [Narrator]           
      ...Gurk sees a chance     

328
00:18:37,382 --> 00:18:40,052
           to step up.          

329
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:42,254
      I'm pressuring myself     
  to learn as much as possible, 

330
00:18:42,254 --> 00:18:45,457
      as fast as possible.      

331
00:18:45,457 --> 00:18:46,725
     By next year this time,    

332
00:18:46,725 --> 00:18:48,961
       I want to be in...       
       in a heavy wrecker.      

333
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:51,196
            [Kirpal]            
       I'll go right here.      

334
00:18:51,196 --> 00:18:52,798
    We'll lift this side up,    

335
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:54,800
        boom right there,       

336
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,568
    and same time we'll pull    

337
00:18:56,568 --> 00:18:58,237
        with the lowline.       

338
00:18:58,237 --> 00:19:01,273
 [Kirpal] If we make a mistake, 

339
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:03,976
    it can cause big damage.    

340
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:07,946
      We have to be careful     
 when we are winching this out. 

341
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:14,253
  [Gurk] That's pretty bang-on. 

342
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:20,225
 [Kirpal] This one, other side, 

343
00:19:20,225 --> 00:19:21,660
       will go right here.      

344
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:23,495
           Like this,           

345
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:25,697
   and this one, inside here.   

346
00:19:25,697 --> 00:19:27,332
   -[Gurk] On the other side?   
         -[Kirpal] Yeah.        

347
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:29,168
       [Gurk] Let's do it.      

348
00:19:34,606 --> 00:19:37,476
           [Narrator]           
     With the 50-tonne heavy    

349
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:39,811
  rigged to the trailer's side  

350
00:19:39,811 --> 00:19:41,980
            and back,           

351
00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:43,982
   they'll winch it to safety.  

352
00:19:45,984 --> 00:19:48,587
    [Gurk] The trailer looks    
       brand-spanking new.      

353
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:51,590
          If something          
      does happen to this,      

354
00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:54,059
we're going to be liable for it,
     and we don't want that.    

355
00:19:55,327 --> 00:19:56,595
         [Kirpal] Okay!

00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,605
  [Narrator] ...it's up to Gurk 

359
00:20:06,605 --> 00:20:09,007
      to keep a close eye.      

360
00:20:21,486 --> 00:20:25,891
       The biggest concern      
 is that the trailer can shift. 

361
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:30,195
              Dad!

        [metal creaking]        

368
00:21:00,158 --> 00:21:01,293
          What is that?         

369
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:06,465
    [Kirpal] On my tow truck,   

370
00:21:06,465 --> 00:21:08,533
       one of the winches       
       is not locking up.       

371
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:13,772
     [Kirpal] Okay, hold on.    

372

          Not-not hard.         

375
00:21:23,482 --> 00:21:27,052
     [Kirpal] I ask Gurkirat    
       to tap on the winch      

376
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:29,621
        so I can go into        
      the locking position.

            [tapping]

          the batteries         

427
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:01,973
       to ignite anything.      

428
00:24:01,973 --> 00:24:03,575
       Pull the batteries.      

429
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:08,447
  Drag those right outta there. 

430
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:10,282
   They're out of the way now.  

431
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,951
   [Andy] Get the electricity   
      out of the equation.      

432
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:15,754
    You'll have less chances    
        of an explosion.        

433
00:24:15,754 --> 00:24:17,622
     [Andy] Can we pull yet?    
      Is that cleared out?      

434
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:18,890
            [Ty] Yes.           

435
00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:20,125
  It's always good to be safe.  

436
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:24,029
    -[Andy] Everybody ready?    
           -[Ty] Yup!

     The wrestling match...     

438
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:32,637
           ...against           
    the 30,000-pound wreck...   

439
00:24:36,107 --> 00:24:37,976
   [Ty] Yeah, there she goes!   

440
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:39,778
    [Narrator] ...is back on.   

441
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:45,116
     [Ty] You could probably    
    roll it over right here,    

442
00:24:45,116 --> 00:24:46,084
          to be honest.         

443
00:24:48,587 --> 00:24:50,188
  [Andy] Is that cab right off? 

444
00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:51,490
            [Ty] Yup.           

445
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:53,158
      Separated right off.      

446
00:24:54,092 --> 00:24:56,027
          [Ty] The cab          
     is pretty much sheared     

447
00:24:56,027 --> 00:24:57,529
   right off the frame itself.  

448
00:24:57,529 --> 00:24:59,297
           [Narrator]           
       With the highway...      

449
00:24:59,297 --> 00:25:01,333
    They want us off the road   
      within the next hour,     

450
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:04,269
  so hopefully we can do that.  

451
00:25:04,269 --> 00:25:06,338
           [Narrator]           
    ...now shut down again...   

452
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:07,706
       [Ty] The fun part.       

453
00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:09,808
       Let's get 'er done.      

454
00:25:11,376 --> 00:25:14,279
           [Narrator]           
 ...two lines from the 50-tonne 

455
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:18,183
 will take on 60 feet of chassis

456
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,351
         and trailer...         

457
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:24,789
       [Ty] We'll just do       
     a basket through here.     

458
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:28,193
            Okay, eh!           

459
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,397
 [Narrator] ...but this flip... 

460
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:38,169
    ...will be no easy task.    

461

           [scraping]           

463
00:25:45,544 --> 00:25:46,811
    ...it's hard to get them    
           to dig in,           

464
00:25:46,811 --> 00:25:48,179
     to start rolling over.

00:25:54,352 --> 00:25:55,720
     Boom... boom out more,     

467
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,788
    like, let your lines off    

468
00:25:56,788 --> 00:25:57,923
       and boom out more.

           [scraping]           

470
00:26:13,271 --> 00:26:14,539
    [Ty] Just hold on a sec.

00:26:14,539 --> 00:26:15,707
   Hold on, hold on, hold on.   

472
00:26:15,707 --> 00:26:16,942
    [Ty] It's not working...    

473
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:19,210
          That's that.          

474
00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:20,245
        It's frustrating.       

475
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:22,280
        [sighing heavily]       

476
00:26:31,323 --> 00:26:33,925

     In the Fraser Valley...    

477
00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:35,327
      [Andy] I don't think      
         it's gonna go.         

478
00:26:35,327 --> 00:26:36,561
 [Narrator] ...a major wreck... 

479
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:40,565
       is going sideways.       

480
00:26:42,067 --> 00:26:43,468
      [Ty] There's too much     
      pressure on the top.      

481
00:26:43,468 --> 00:26:44,603
     It's just sliding over.    

482
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:49,641
  [Ty] When it's a flat surface 
       on a flat surface,       

483
00:26:49,641 --> 00:26:51,910
        it's like taking        
   a piece of paper on a table  

484
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:52,978
      and letting it slide.     

485
00:26:54,312 --> 00:26:55,313
    [Ty] Just hold on a sec.

   Hold on, hold on, hold on.

    [Narrator] Ty and Andy...

    Let's run a... let's run    
     a low line to this one,    

490
00:27:08,093 --> 00:27:09,094
  and we'll pull it with that.  

491
00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:11,930
 [Narrator] ...need to rethink, 

492
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:15,467
   or they'll run out of room.  

493
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,002
              Good?             

494
00:27:18,069 --> 00:27:19,004
           -You good?           
          -Good, yeah.          

495
00:27:19,004 --> 00:27:20,772
 [Ty] We'll put a lowline on it 

496
00:27:20,772 --> 00:27:22,107
          and pull down         

497
00:27:22,107 --> 00:27:23,274
       as we roll it over       
        at the same time        

498
00:27:23,274 --> 00:27:24,275
       to help it dig in.       

499
00:27:26,011 --> 00:27:27,979
     [Andy] He's right here.    

500
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:30,815
   Just get him to pull ahead   
       and lift it a bit.       

501
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:33,818
           [Narrator]           
     A zoom boom on site...     

502
00:27:36,121 --> 00:27:37,956
           [Ty] Okay,           
     let's see what happens.    

503
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:41,059
           [Narrator]           
    ...might tip the scales.    

504
00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:43,695
        Get the zoom boom       
     to scoop underneath it     

505
00:27:43,695 --> 00:27:44,963
     and lift it up for us.     

506
00:27:49,801 --> 00:27:51,136
          I got it now.         

507
00:27:51,136 --> 00:27:54,272
      [Ty] There, it'll go.     

508
00:27:55,373 --> 00:27:56,608
         Watch yourself.        

509
00:28:03,014 --> 00:28:04,149
      It's gonna flip hard.     

510
00:28:11,623 --> 00:28:12,590
              Whoa!             

511
00:28:15,627 --> 00:28:16,795
            Perfect!            

512
00:28:16,795 --> 00:28:17,996
              Whoo.             

513
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:20,699
    [Ty] It's such a relief.    

514
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:21,700
        We got 'er done.        

515
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:26,037
    [Narrator] Moments later,   

516
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:28,306
     operator James Luke...     

517
00:28:28,306 --> 00:28:30,175
       -Hi, you missed it.      
            -I know.            

518
00:28:30,175 --> 00:28:33,078
           [Narrator]           
     ...decides to show up.     

519
00:28:33,078 --> 00:28:34,879
     [James] Unfortunately,     

520
00:28:34,879 --> 00:28:36,848
 due to other jobs I had to do, 

521
00:28:36,848 --> 00:28:38,083
   I missed all the fun stuff.  

522
00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:41,186
   [James] Yeah, good enough.   

523
00:28:41,186 --> 00:28:42,754
        [Ty] We obviously       
        want to minimize        

524
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:44,489
  as much damage as possible... 

525
00:28:48,193 --> 00:28:50,095
      so the chassis itself     
          stays intact.         

526
00:28:52,530 --> 00:28:54,599
         There it goes.         

527
00:28:59,204 --> 00:29:00,705
      Thor's gonna hook up      
   to the front of the truck.   

528
00:29:00,705 --> 00:29:02,841
   That's probably good there.  

529
00:29:08,213 --> 00:29:10,348
           [Narrator]           
 With the chassis on its way... 

530
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:13,752
          [Ty] Oh, wow.         

531
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:15,754
           [Narrator]           
     ...the final pieces...

   That guy is lucky as hell.

00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:24,129
    [Narrator] ...are the cab

      [air brakes hissing]      

535
00:29:28,233 --> 00:29:30,301
   Highway 7 is a vital route.  

536
00:29:31,736 --> 00:29:33,638
            We always           
   want to try and do our best  

537
00:29:33,638 --> 00:29:34,906
       to open up the road      
      as fast as possible.      

538
00:29:42,046 --> 00:29:43,081
  [Ty] We're cold, we're tired. 

539
00:29:43,081 --> 00:29:44,749
We just want to get out of here.

540
00:29:44,749 --> 00:29:47,285
    [Narrator] ...but then...   

541

543
00:29:51,055 --> 00:29:52,257
             [James]            
    You're kidding me, right?   

544
00:29:53,591 --> 00:29:57,095
    [Narrator] ...the trailer   
      isn't going to roll.      

545
00:29:58,096 --> 00:30:01,099
      One of the glad hands     
    on the trailer is broken,   

546
00:30:01,099 --> 00:30:03,768
        so now the brakes       
        will not release.       

547
00:30:06,504 --> 00:30:08,473
  It's not gonna move anywhere. 

548
00:30:09,841 --> 00:30:11,876
   It just feels like we can't  
    catch a break right now.    

549
00:30:11,876 --> 00:30:14,412
 [James] I have no caging bolts 
           or nothing.          

550
00:30:14,412 --> 00:30:17,015
     It's a highway tractor,    
         not a wrecker.         

551
00:30:17,015 --> 00:30:18,483
       It's just one thing      
         after another.         

552
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:22,153
    We're kinda up the creek    
        without a paddle.       

553
00:30:22,153 --> 00:30:23,822
       [Ty] I'm exhausted.      

554
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,456

00:40:12,743 --> 00:40:18,015
     [Narrator] The trailer     
  has heavy-duty tools inside.  

709
00:40:18,015 --> 00:40:19,350
  [Jamie] It should just pivot  

710
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:20,851
    and then straighten out,    
            I think.            

711
00:40:20,851 --> 00:40:22,153
            Go ahead.           

712
00:40:23,421 --> 00:40:25,322
         Okay, give 'er.        

713
00:40:27,858 --> 00:40:29,393
  I'm going to watch the unit,  

714
00:40:29,393 --> 00:40:31,395
 make sure that we're not caught
        on anything else.       

715
00:40:35,232 --> 00:40:37,435
       -[winch straining]       
         -[Jamie] Oh...         

716
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:39,670
     A log's kind of jammed     
         into the back.         

717
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:46,744
    Boom it up a bit, maybe.    

718
00:40:46,744 --> 00:40:47,745
              Yeah.             

719
00:40:57,354 --> 00:40:59,089
    [crunching and crumpling]   

720
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:01,792
       Yeah, right there.       

721
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:04,795
     [Jamie] You gotta find     
         that happy spot        

722
00:41:04,795 --> 00:41:07,631
 where it's lifting and pulling 
        at the same time.       

723
00:41:11,702 --> 00:41:12,736
   [AJ] You think I can get it  
          on the deck?          

724
00:41:12,736 --> 00:41:13,971
          [Jamie] Yup.          

725
00:41:19,243 --> 00:41:21,545
      [Jamie] I'd go, like,     
     right around here too.     

726
00:41:21,545 --> 00:41:23,614
          Like... here.         

727
00:41:23,614 --> 00:41:25,816
       Yup, there you go.       

728
00:41:27,117 --> 00:41:28,953
    [Narrator] Now it's time    

729
00:41:28,953 --> 00:41:32,156
      to load the unit up.      

730
00:41:32,156 --> 00:41:34,225
            Perfect.            

731
00:41:36,627 --> 00:41:37,995
             [Jamie]            
    The width of the trailer    

732
00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:39,797
   is just a little bit wider   

733
00:41:39,797 --> 00:41:40,931
    than our own deck truck.    

734
00:41:41,999 --> 00:41:43,234
   [Jamie] Are you about even?  

735
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:44,335
         [AJ] Oh, yeah,         
       that's dead centre.      

736
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:48,439
  [Jamie] We have to make sure  

737
00:41:48,439 --> 00:41:51,876
         that thing goes        
      almost perfectly on.      

738
00:41:56,347 --> 00:41:57,581
              [AJ]              
  We just gotta strap it down,  

739
00:41:57,581 --> 00:41:58,649
   and we'll be down the road.  

740
00:42:04,588 --> 00:42:06,457
     Pull it back your way?     

741
00:42:08,759 --> 00:42:09,827
              Okay.             

742
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:14,465
         [AJ] Typically,        
    I just do a four corner,    

743
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:15,599
      but he's teaching me      

744
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:16,667
  that there's a side to side.  

745
00:42:18,102 --> 00:42:19,136
   [Jamie] Are you okay there?  

746
00:42:19,136 --> 00:42:20,137
           [AJ] Yeah.           

747
00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:25,609
      It's the small things     
        that you pick up.       

748
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:33,150
   [AJ] Doing jobs with Jamie,  

749
00:42:33,150 --> 00:42:34,218
 I get to see his point of view.

750
00:42:37,121 --> 00:42:38,822
             [Jamie]            
  Getting up log service roads  

751
00:42:38,822 --> 00:42:39,823
      is kind of enjoyable.     

752
00:42:40,925 --> 00:42:42,526
         You're dealing         
      in a different world.     

753
00:42:47,831 --> 00:42:50,701
      [Narrator] Next time      
     on Highway Thru Hell...    

754
00:42:50,701 --> 00:42:51,969
     Yeah, keep holding it.     

755
00:42:51,969 --> 00:42:53,637
           [Narrator]           
    ...a tricky tug-of-war...

  [Narrator] ...tests a crew... 

764
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:13,691
