197

   supported in the right way,  

210
00:11:42,968 --> 00:11:44,537

   down to a minimum delay...

00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:21,833
           ...because           
    nothing's rigid anymore.    

424
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:23,702
        [Andy] Tip it up        
    and pull it up the hill.    

425
00:23:23,702 --> 00:23:25,904
   [Narrator] A new player...   

426
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:27,706
  [John] That'd be a good idea. 

427
00:23:27,706 --> 00:23:28,974
 [Narrator] ...joins the fight. 

428
00:23:30,609 --> 00:23:33,445
    Working with a secondary    
       piece of machinery.      

429
00:23:33,445 --> 00:23:34,980
        We're gonna have        
     the excavator make sure    

430
00:23:34,980 --> 00:23:36,815
that it doesn't fall over on us.

431
00:23:38,483 --> 00:23:40,619
           [Narrator]           
     With the machine poised    

432
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:43,455
  to support from underneath... 

433
00:23:43,455 --> 00:23:45,323
       [Andy] There we go.      

434
00:23:45,323 --> 00:23:47,526
  [Narrator] ...the trailer...  

435
00:23:47,526 --> 00:23:49,094
          [Andy] Whoo!          

436
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:52,264
           [Narrator]           
    ...is back on its wheels.   

437
00:23:56,535 --> 00:23:59,738
 [Andy] Once you get that landed
          on the road,          

438
00:23:59,738 --> 00:24:02,374
     that is instant relief.    

439
00:24:03,675 --> 00:24:08,046
   [Narrator] But they'll need  
 to make it safe for transport. 

440
00:24:09,347 --> 00:24:10,782
     [Andy] Crunch the wall,    

441
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:13,718
     and then try to crunch     
          the door in.          

442
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:15,654
         I got a Landoll        
        coming to get it.       

443
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:20,992
    [Andy] With height limits   
        on our highways,        

444
00:24:20,992 --> 00:24:23,562
    the excavator's going to    
      crush down the sides.     

445
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:28,200
           [Narrator]           
     ...the Landoll arrives     

446
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,336
    to haul the trailer away.   

447
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:34,339
           Good to go!          

448
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:36,074
    [Narrator] Andy and John    

449
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:37,943
      turn to the tractor.      

450
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:40,378
        [Andy] Next step        

451
00:24:40,378 --> 00:24:41,813
      is to pull this thing     
       up onto the road...      

452
00:24:44,983 --> 00:24:46,218
  ...and get this job finished. 

453
00:24:50,589 --> 00:24:51,656
              Yeah.             

454
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:52,791
           Then we'll           
     two-point pull it over.    

455
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:54,025
              Yeah.             

456
00:24:54,025 --> 00:24:56,361
           [Narrator]           
     Using both wreckers...     

457
00:24:56,361 --> 00:24:57,896
        Let it freespool.       

458
00:24:57,896 --> 00:25:00,599
   [Narrator] ...they'll first  
      upright the tractor,      

459
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,435
    then pull it up the bank.   

460
00:25:03,435 --> 00:25:05,437
         Should be good.        

461
00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:09,374
        [Kurtis] One line       
  on each side of the vehicle,  

462
00:25:09,374 --> 00:25:11,676
     and you pivot the truck    
        out of the ditch.       

463
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:14,346
       [John] Let's pull.       

464
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,948
           [Narrator]           
     With Andy on the front     

465
00:25:16,948 --> 00:25:19,618
     and John on the rear...    

466
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:21,853
          Keep pulling.         

467
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:24,589
    [Narrator] ...they start    
       rolling the truck.       

468
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,095
      [Kurtis] There we go.     

469
00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:33,265
       [Narrator] But now       

470
00:25:33,265 --> 00:25:35,033
  they'll need to get it up...  

471
00:25:35,033 --> 00:25:37,769
       [John] Everything's      
      getting done tonight.     

472
00:25:37,769 --> 00:25:42,073
           [Narrator]           
   ...the 30-foot rocky bank.   

473
00:25:42,073 --> 00:25:44,442
 It's gonna add some resistance 
        as we pull it up.       

474
00:25:46,244 --> 00:25:48,580
      [John] Pitter patter.     

475
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:54,619
    [John] I don't know, man.   

476
00:25:57,756 --> 00:25:58,623
          [Andy] Whoa!          

477
00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:05,830
 [Narrator] South of Kamloops...

478
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,734
        a wrecked tractor       

479
00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:12,103
      has team Reliable...      

480
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,407
          [Andy] Whoa!          

481
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:17,709
           [Narrator]           
     ...pumping the brakes.     

482
00:26:17,709 --> 00:26:19,844
    [Andy] I just don't like    
      that I'm single line.     

483
00:26:19,844 --> 00:26:22,714
   That's... everything on it.  

484
00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:25,183
       Due to the terrain       
       and the way it is,       

485
00:26:25,183 --> 00:26:26,818
         all the rocks,         

486
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:29,621
  there's a lot more resistance 
          to the pull.          

487
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:32,223
            Let's put           
      my second line to it.     

488
00:26:34,059 --> 00:26:36,461
          Andy's unsure         
 if he's got a good grip on it. 

489
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:39,064
    [John] Where do you wanna   
        go to? Same spot?       

490
00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:40,599
          [Andy] Yeah.          

491
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,968
    [John] We're gonna throw    
          a second line         

492
00:26:42,968 --> 00:26:44,269
      just to coax it over.     

493
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:47,872
   [Andy] Should be all right.  

494
00:26:47,872 --> 00:26:51,443
  [Narrator] With a second line 
       off the 50-tonne...      

495
00:26:53,778 --> 00:26:55,680
        ...the tractor...       

496
00:26:58,316 --> 00:27:00,251
          ...inches...          

497
00:27:00,251 --> 00:27:03,355
       back onto the road.      

498
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:04,623
        [Andy] Turn left        
       and release brake.       

499
00:27:06,658 --> 00:27:08,326
 [Narrator] After nine hours... 

500
00:27:08,326 --> 00:27:09,327
      [Andy] Get 'er done.      

501
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:10,962
      [John] Yeah, you bet.     

502
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:14,532
  [Narrator] ...the last piece  
     is finally on the road.    

503
00:27:14,532 --> 00:27:16,101
      [Andy] There you go.      

504
00:27:16,101 --> 00:27:18,103
       [John] All in all,       

505
00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:19,771
      it feels really good      
  to have it out of the ditch.  

506
00:27:20,739 --> 00:27:22,307
          [Andy] Nice.          

507
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:25,143
       [Andy] Team worked       
  really good together tonight. 

508
00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:28,279
    [Narrator] With the wreck   
       out of the ditch...      

509
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:31,149
     [John] Look at the mess    
       laying there still.      

510
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:32,984
 [Narrator] ...the offload crew 

511
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:35,854
can focus on salvaging the load.

512
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:39,591
        [John] Try that.        

513
00:27:41,626 --> 00:27:43,128
          There we go.          

514
00:27:43,128 --> 00:27:44,362
    [Andy] Always feels good    

515
00:27:44,362 --> 00:27:46,064
to pull something off like this.

516
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:47,499
           You got it?          

517
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:51,436
       [Narrator] Kurtis'       
 first job managing the team... 

518
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:53,605
   [Kurtis] Feels pretty great  

519
00:27:53,605 --> 00:27:54,973
      working on our first      
       heavy job together.      

520
00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:57,809
  [Narrator] ...is in the bag.  

521
00:27:57,809 --> 00:28:00,612
  [Andy] That's it. It's done.  

522
00:28:01,813 --> 00:28:02,881
            [honking]           

523
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:08,286
    [John] We got this thing    
        out of the ditch,       

524
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:09,688
and I'm gonna go get some sleep.

525
00:28:11,189 --> 00:28:13,491
    [John] Yeah, we got 'er.    

526
00:28:13,491 --> 00:28:15,326
       I'm really proud of      
   what my team accomplished.   

527
00:28:15,326 --> 00:28:17,228
  I think they did a great job. 

528
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:28,807
 [Narrator] On Vancouver Island,

529
00:28:28,807 --> 00:28:32,043
     a wide-load house move     

530
00:28:32,043 --> 00:28:36,881
      starts at the bottom      
      of a steep driveway.      

531
00:28:38,016 --> 00:28:39,818
  [Don] We've got to make sure  

532
00:28:39,818 --> 00:28:41,553
       that we don't shake      
     or jostle this at all.     

533
00:28:42,854 --> 00:28:45,156
 We don't want it to slide off. 

534
00:28:45,156 --> 00:28:46,858
 Everything's gotta be spot on. 

535
00:28:47,892 --> 00:28:48,927
  [Narrator] ...and tonight...  

536
00:28:48,927 --> 00:28:50,829
        [Don] Looks like        
      they're ready to go.      

537
00:28:50,829 --> 00:28:52,397
           [Narrator]           
    ...they're on the clock.    

538
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:55,400
          The house has         
       a barge to catch...      

539
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:00,438
 ...five kilometres across town.

540
00:29:00,438 --> 00:29:01,940
  [Casjen] We have to make sure 

541
00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:04,609
      that we meet the tide     
         and the barge,         

542
00:29:04,609 --> 00:29:06,377
  because we can't park a house 

543
00:29:06,377 --> 00:29:07,679
  in the middle of the street.  

544
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:11,149
           All right.           

545
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:14,018
     So you're going to try     
   and move it to start with?   

546
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:15,253
      [Casjen] We're gonna      
     pull ahead a little bit    

547
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:16,421
      to see if we can go.      

548
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,589
           All right,           

549
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:18,923
           so once you          
    have done your movements,   

550
00:29:18,923 --> 00:29:20,525
 can't anymore, then we'll stop,

551
00:29:20,525 --> 00:29:21,893
     you and I will discuss     
    where we're gonna set up    

552
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:23,628
     and do our first pull.     

553
00:29:23,628 --> 00:29:25,130
            Awesome.            

554
00:29:27,298 --> 00:29:30,101
     [Narrator] The tractor     
   must first pivot the house   

555
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:32,771
       onto the driveway,       

556
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:37,742
        then with a line        
   from Peninsula's 30-tonne,   

557
00:29:37,742 --> 00:29:39,577
 they'll winch it onto the road.

558
00:29:44,215 --> 00:29:46,251
        This is a sort of       
      a critical manoeuvre,     

559
00:29:46,251 --> 00:29:47,886
      pulling up the hill,      

560
00:29:47,886 --> 00:29:50,088
    and we want it to be done   
     as smoothly as possible    

561
00:29:50,088 --> 00:29:51,990
        so that we're not       
      jerking the building.     

562
00:29:52,991 --> 00:29:56,427
   We're going to let the unit  
    run up as far as it can,    

563
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:57,796
    and we'll do the balance    
           of the pull          

564
00:29:57,796 --> 00:30:00,732
    the rest of the way out,    
       and keep it smooth.      

565
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,803
   [Narrator] Casjen's team...  

566
00:30:07,338 --> 00:30:10,175
           [Narrator]           
  ...starts the first phase...  

567
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:14,512
   ...turning the narrow side   
         of the house...        

568
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:21,920
           [Narrator]           
    ...to face the driveway.    

569
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:35,733
   [Narrator] But the hardest   
       part of the job...       

570
00:30:39,137 --> 00:30:41,673
    [Don] Geez, look at this.   

571
00:30:42,774 --> 00:30:43,975
      [Mike] That is nuts.      

572
00:30:43,975 --> 00:30:47,278
           [Narrator]           
 ...is at the crest of the hill.

573
00:30:47,278 --> 00:30:50,548
   [Don] This is a relatively   
          steep grade,          

574
00:30:50,548 --> 00:30:52,183
        and it's covered        
        with loose rock.        

575
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:00,992
    [Don] And there it goes,    
          right there,          

576
00:31:00,992 --> 00:31:02,493
         and that's it.         

577
00:31:02,493 --> 00:31:03,995
   The semi has lost traction.  

578
00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:05,897
        [Don] Hey, Mike?        

579
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:08,166
  If you can point the back end 
      at 'em a little bit,      

580
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,500
        that'd be great.        

581
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:13,738
      We're taking it over      
         at this point.         

582
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:16,908
     [Don] We're gonna take     
    full control of the pull    

583
00:31:16,908 --> 00:31:18,176
 and get it up onto the street. 

584
00:31:19,077 --> 00:31:21,312
           [Narrator]           
     But in tight quarters,     

585
00:31:21,312 --> 00:31:25,283
        Don only has room       
        for one wrecker.        

586
00:31:25,283 --> 00:31:27,252
       We wanna make sure       
 we get the right line on this. 

587
00:31:29,921 --> 00:31:31,589
  There's really only one shot  
         to get it out.         

588
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:34,259
     [Don] You ready to go?     

589
00:31:34,259 --> 00:31:35,360
             -Yeah.             
             -Okay.             

590
00:31:45,937 --> 00:31:49,741
       [Narrator] Getting       
   the 2,200 square-foot house  

591
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:52,277
       out in one piece...      

592
00:31:52,277 --> 00:31:53,244
      [Mike] Nice and slow.     

593
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:55,280
       [Narrator] ...rests      

594
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,748
           on Mike...           

595
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:58,549
       [driver] Come on...      

596
00:31:58,549 --> 00:32:00,818
           [Narrator]           
       ...and the driver.       

597
00:32:03,354 --> 00:32:05,723
         Come on, baby.         

598
00:32:05,723 --> 00:32:07,458
     The driveway coming out    
        to the main road,       

599
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:09,794
        it's quite steep.       

600
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:12,597
         If the tractor         
   starts to hop and bounce...  

601
00:32:13,798 --> 00:32:17,402
 ...that house could physically 
      slide on the carriage     

602
00:32:17,402 --> 00:32:18,703
      that it's sitting on.     

603
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:20,972
           [Don] Whoa!          

604
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:21,940
   [Casjen] Whoa, whoa, whoa.   

605
00:32:25,343 --> 00:32:26,511
      [Mike] Come on, baby.     

606
00:32:26,511 --> 00:32:29,314
     [Narrator] On a narrow     
      residential street...     

607
00:32:32,150 --> 00:32:33,284
           [Don] Whoa!          

608
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,520
           [Narrator]           
   ...a massive house move...   

609
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,422
   [Casjen] Whoa, whoa, whoa!   

610
00:32:37,422 --> 00:32:39,958
           [Narrator]           
     ...has Peninsula Towing    

611
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:42,694
        losing its grip.        

612
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,796
         [Don] Hold up.         

613
00:32:46,664 --> 00:32:48,967
     We're seeing the wheel     
     lift up on the tractor.    

614
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:51,035
   [Don] You want a low line?   

615
00:32:51,035 --> 00:32:52,670
  [Mike] Yeah, we can do that.  

616
00:32:54,572 --> 00:32:55,974
        [Don] We're gonna       
         readjust it...         

617
00:32:57,508 --> 00:33:00,511
  ...so we can keep the tractor 
      fully on the ground.      

618
00:33:02,013 --> 00:33:04,082
     We're going to allow it    
    to steer around up front.   

619
00:33:08,086 --> 00:33:09,087
              Yeah.             

620
00:33:11,889 --> 00:33:13,524
          [air hissing]         

621
00:33:13,524 --> 00:33:15,526
           [Narrator]           
       With their low line      

622
00:33:15,526 --> 00:33:17,562
 now adding downward pressure...

623
00:33:19,397 --> 00:33:21,666
     ...the tractor's wheels    

624
00:33:21,666 --> 00:33:23,935
     stick to the pavement.     

625
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:26,170
   [Don] Here we go, perfect.   

626
00:33:27,872 --> 00:33:30,942
     [Narrator] The house...    

627
00:33:31,876 --> 00:33:32,944
           [Don] Stop.          

628
00:33:34,445 --> 00:33:37,048
           [Narrator]           
  ...makes it up the driveway.  

629
00:33:37,048 --> 00:33:38,583
       [Casjen] Good job.       

630
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:42,520
   [Mike] It went really well.  

631
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,756
            I'm sure            
   everyone's happy for that.   

632
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:48,726
     [Narrator] Peninsula's     
held up their end of the deal...

633
00:33:48,726 --> 00:33:51,729
    [Don] Now that we've got    
    the house up on the road,   

634
00:33:51,729 --> 00:33:53,264
       it's our job to get      
         out of the way         

635
00:33:53,264 --> 00:33:54,232
      as fast as possible.      

636
00:33:56,167 --> 00:33:59,971
           [Narrator]           
...but the job is far from over.

637
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:01,639
    [Don] Now you just gotta    
     weasel it through town     

638
00:34:01,639 --> 00:34:02,940
       past all the trees.      

639
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:05,176
      [Narrator] The house      
       still needs to make      

640
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:07,645
    a five-kilometre journey    

641
00:34:07,645 --> 00:34:09,313
          through town.         

642
00:34:09,313 --> 00:34:11,482
    He's still gotta get that   
   up onto the barge tonight.   

643
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:15,586
              Yes.              

644
00:34:15,586 --> 00:34:17,388
        Sounds good. Yup.       

645
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:19,624
  Well, we're here to help you, 
    so whatever the need be.    

646
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:23,594
        [Don] We're going       
   to follow along behind him,  

647
00:34:23,594 --> 00:34:25,830
   make sure that they get it   
   through the city unimpeded.  

648
00:34:26,998 --> 00:34:29,500
      Perfect, ready to go.     

649
00:34:34,605 --> 00:34:36,674
      [Casjen] At 18 feet,      
       we're in that zone       

650
00:34:36,674 --> 00:34:39,777
   where we can be interacting  
      with wires, signage.      

651
00:34:42,346 --> 00:34:43,614
         Clear overhead.        

652
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:50,421
    [Casjen] We are threading   
         a giant needle         

653
00:34:50,421 --> 00:34:51,422
          in the dark,          

654
00:34:51,422 --> 00:34:52,690
       without glasses on.      

655
00:35:01,032 --> 00:35:02,867
    [Casjen] We're travelling   

656
00:35:02,867 --> 00:35:05,436
   approximately one kilometre  
       an hour right now.       

657
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:09,807
      [Narrator] Four hours     

658
00:35:09,807 --> 00:35:12,143
          after leaving         
      its former address...     

659
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:21,686
     [Narrator] ...the house    
   is ready to board the barge  

660
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:24,822
    waiting in the high tide.   

661
00:35:24,822 --> 00:35:26,991
    [Casjen] That looks good.   

662
00:35:30,228 --> 00:35:33,798
     [Casjen] The barge ramp    
       is 18 feet wide...       

663
00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:41,372
    [Casjen] Our rear dollies   
        are 15 feet wide.       

664
00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:48,980
          We don't have         
      a lot of wiggle room.     

665
00:36:14,572 --> 00:36:17,241
    [Casjen] Rule number one    
         in house moving        

666
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:18,543
       is don't get stuck.      

667
00:36:19,577 --> 00:36:23,314
  We're having traction issues  
    coming up onto the ramps.   

668
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:29,420
    [Narrator] But this isn't   
      Casjen's first rodeo.     

669
00:36:29,420 --> 00:36:31,122
            [Casjen]            
  We have a truck at the ready  

670
00:36:31,122 --> 00:36:33,958
      to be able to push up     
      the final little bit.     

671
00:36:45,102 --> 00:36:48,272
    [Don] You gotta give 'em    
           full marks           

672
00:36:48,272 --> 00:36:50,208
          for coming up         
      with ingenious ideas      

673
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,142
     to make things happen.     

674
00:37:05,156 --> 00:37:07,458
   [Don] It's very impressive   
          what they do.         

675
00:37:07,458 --> 00:37:10,428
    Definitely professionals    
        in their league.        

676
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:21,839
      [Narrator] Finally...     

677
00:37:23,007 --> 00:37:26,777
       Casjen and his team      

678
00:37:26,777 --> 00:37:30,281
     have the house on board    

679
00:37:30,281 --> 00:37:32,416
         and on its way.        

680
00:37:32,416 --> 00:37:35,019
         The best thing         
  is to see the barge leaving.  

681
00:37:35,019 --> 00:37:36,721
  Means it's not high and dry,  

682
00:37:36,721 --> 00:37:38,656
      and we're on course.      

683
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:45,496
  It was good having Peninsula  
      as part of the team.      

684
00:37:45,496 --> 00:37:47,164
    It's been a real pleasure   
     working with you, Don.     

685
00:37:47,164 --> 00:37:48,466
       -Likewise, Casjen.       
              -Yes.             

686
00:37:48,466 --> 00:37:51,035
      I couldn't have asked     
   for a more successful move.  

687
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:52,803
       We'll do it again.       

688
00:37:52,803 --> 00:37:54,171
            We will.            

689
00:37:54,171 --> 00:37:56,307
     These guys move houses     
          all day long.         

690
00:37:57,475 --> 00:37:58,609
    A pleasure to work with.    

691
00:37:58,609 --> 00:38:00,945
         They get things        
      where they gotta be,      

692
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:03,681
    do it in a timely manner,   

693
00:38:03,681 --> 00:38:05,616
    and have the satisfaction   
        of the customer.        

694
00:38:19,630 --> 00:38:23,634
           [Narrator]           
   260 kilometres northeast...  

695
00:38:24,802 --> 00:38:28,039
    ...a red 40-tonne rotator   

696
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:29,373
        is on the move...       

697
00:38:29,373 --> 00:38:31,342
    [Jamie Davis] Lots to do,   
       there's lots to do.      

698
00:38:31,342 --> 00:38:34,679
 [Narrator] ...with Jamie Davis 
          at the wheel.         

699
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:37,081
           Didn't say           
      exactly where he was.     

700
00:38:38,516 --> 00:38:40,318
      [Jamie] We're heading     
up the Coq to pick a dump truck.

701
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:43,387
      It's been involved in     
 some kind of a minor accident. 

702
00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:47,258
        So, this is where       
 he's supposed to be right here.

703
00:38:48,259 --> 00:38:50,328
      [Narrator] 20 minutes     
         outside Hope...        

704
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:51,362
      [Jamie] Right there.      

705
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:56,167
           [Narrator]           
  ...Jamie spots the casualty.  

706
00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:59,470
     [Jamie] I'm not seeing     
     nothing too noticeable     

707
00:38:59,470 --> 00:39:00,571
   coming up on the job here.   

708
00:39:02,073 --> 00:39:04,075
             [Jamie]            
  Let's go have a look at this. 

709
00:39:04,075 --> 00:39:07,411
           [Narrator]           
 Further inspection uncovers... 

710
00:39:07,411 --> 00:39:08,546
  Some pretty bad damage here.  

711
00:39:08,546 --> 00:39:12,216
     [Narrator] ...the truck    
    is severely compromised.    

712
00:39:12,216 --> 00:39:13,217
     The axle's pushed back.    

713
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:16,554
   It looks like it hit a curb  
     or something like that.    

714
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:20,057
    [Jamie] This dump truck's   
     come around the corner,    

715
00:39:20,057 --> 00:39:23,027
 hit black ice, hit the barrier,

716
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:24,695
  and now it's off at the side. 

717
00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:31,469
           [Narrator]           
      The dangerous corner      

718
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:34,271
    puts Jamie on high alert.   

719
00:39:35,406 --> 00:39:37,942
   [Jamie] I don't want to be   
     in this spot very long.    

720
00:39:38,976 --> 00:39:41,345
    One guy's wiped out here.   

721
00:39:41,345 --> 00:39:43,714
A second guy could be wiping out
     there just as quickly.     

722
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:48,986
          Man, oh, man.         

723
00:39:55,192 --> 00:39:56,694
    [Narrator] On the Coq...    

724
00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:58,028
      [Jamie] What a mess.      

725
00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:03,267
  [Narrator] ...Jamie sizes up  
    a battered dump truck...    

726
00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:08,906
           [Narrator]           
     ...on a dangerous bend.    

727
00:40:09,774 --> 00:40:12,676
    [Jamie] Easy for a truck    
    to come around the corner   

728
00:40:12,676 --> 00:40:13,778
     and get into the slush.    

729
00:40:18,716 --> 00:40:19,583
       It's in a bad spot.      

730
00:40:20,851 --> 00:40:23,053
           [Narrator]           
       As a precaution...       

731
00:40:23,053 --> 00:40:24,422
             [Jamie]            
   So we'll get it loaded up.   

732
00:40:25,389 --> 00:40:29,360
           [Narrator]           
 ...he'll move the wreck ahead. 

733
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,430
             [Jamie]            
   Just a basic, old-fashioned  

734
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:35,900
         truck hitch way        
      of towing this thing.     

735
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:38,536
       Nothing too fancy.       

736
00:40:38,536 --> 00:40:40,204
        It's the safest,        
     quickest way to do it.     

737
00:40:50,714 --> 00:40:54,318
     [Narrator] But he's not    
      out of the woods yet.     

738
00:40:55,619 --> 00:40:58,222
             [Jamie]            
  Everybody hates drive shafts. 

739
00:41:00,257 --> 00:41:02,259
           [Narrator]           
    Jamie must put himself...   

740
00:41:03,627 --> 00:41:05,095
  ...in a precarious position.  

741
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,566
    [Jamie] If another truck    
    comes around the corner,    

742
00:41:08,566 --> 00:41:10,067
       hits the black ice,      

743
00:41:10,067 --> 00:41:12,102
         and wipes out,         

744
00:41:12,102 --> 00:41:13,370
         the last place         
      you really want to be     

745
00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:14,438
    is underneath this truck.   

746
00:41:15,906 --> 00:41:19,109
             [Jamie]            
     Double-chain it here...    

747
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:22,079
 [Jamie] Doesn't matter how long
   you've been doing the job,   

748
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:24,849
  you still know when and where 
    things can get dangerous.   

749
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:26,951
            All good.           

750
00:41:26,951 --> 00:41:29,286
           [Narrator]           
 With the wreck ready to tow... 

751
00:41:29,286 --> 00:41:30,754
           We'll just           
     back down the off-ramp.    

752
00:41:30,754 --> 00:41:32,189
        There's a bridge        
     that goes across there,    

753
00:41:32,189 --> 00:41:33,290
  and that'll get us back home. 

754
00:41:34,325 --> 00:41:36,994
    [Narrator] ...Jamie opts    
     for the quickest route     

755
00:41:36,994 --> 00:41:38,996
    to get off the highway...   

756
00:41:45,636 --> 00:41:46,871
   [Narrator] ...reversing...   

757
00:41:52,476 --> 00:41:53,644
           [Narrator]           
      ...down the off-ramp.     

758
00:41:55,613 --> 00:41:58,048
    [Jamie] If I can quickly    
     back down the ramp here    

759
00:41:58,048 --> 00:42:00,017
   and turn around underneath,  

760
00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:01,151
     I'm ahead of the game.     

761
00:42:03,153 --> 00:42:05,155
           [Narrator]           
   After a quick manoeuvre...   

762
00:42:07,024 --> 00:42:11,028
  ...Jamie and his L.A. rotator 

763
00:42:11,028 --> 00:42:15,232
         have the wreck         
       safely on its way.       

764
00:42:15,232 --> 00:42:17,167
          Be in and out         
    and back home for dinner.   

765
00:42:18,569 --> 00:42:20,571
   [Jamie] The tow went well.   

766
00:42:20,571 --> 00:42:21,739
       We're gonna take it      
        back to the yard.       

767
00:42:23,507 --> 00:42:24,375
        I'm feeling good.       

768
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,181
    The rotator always makes    
 the job go quicker and faster. 

769
00:42:32,483 --> 00:42:35,719
        The rotator and I       
are well versed with each other.

770
00:42:36,921 --> 00:42:40,424
  It's my go-to truck to drive. 

771
00:42:40,424 --> 00:42:41,525
    The one I love the most.    

772
00:42:48,065 --> 00:42:49,199
     [Narrator] Next time...    

773
00:42:50,134 --> 00:42:51,602
           [Narrator]           
   ...on Highway Thru Hell...   

774
00:42:53,737 --> 00:42:55,072
        [Narrator] ...one       
    of the biggest wrecks...    

775
00:42:55,072 --> 00:42:55,940
          [Merv] Whoa!          

776
00:42:55,940 --> 00:42:56,840
 [Narrator] ...of the season... 

777
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,175
           [Ty] That's          
      a rollercoaster ride.     

778
00:42:58,175 --> 00:42:59,777
           [Narrator]           
     ...tests team Reliable.    

779
00:42:59,777 --> 00:43:01,745
        [Andy] Hey, hey!        

780
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,014
   [Jamie] Oh, this is a mess.  

781
00:43:04,014 --> 00:43:05,182
       [Narrator] Jamie...      

782
00:43:05,182 --> 00:43:07,351
      We'll be really lucky     
     if that thing makes it.    

783
00:43:07,351 --> 00:43:09,253
           [Narrator]           
  ...tackles a torn trailer...  

784
00:43:11,455 --> 00:43:12,389
    [Narrator] ...and Merv...   

785
00:43:12,389 --> 00:43:13,691
    [Merv] She's fighting us.   

786
00:43:13,691 --> 00:43:15,759
           [Narrator]           
 ...wrestles a collapsed crane. 

787
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:17,928
       [Merv] Running out       
         of real estate.
