[Narrator] This time on Highway Thru Hell...
[Narrator] ...action like never before...
[Jamie Davis] Pull it over!
[Narrator] ...with three rotators.
[Merv] More!
Definitely the first time in my book.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! -Careful!
[Ty Kennedy] That's a nightmare and a half.
[Narrator] Tensions run high...
[Andy Cullum] Okay, hold on!
[Narrator] ...on a notorious road...
-That'll hold it. -No, no!
[Narrator] ...and prized iron...
[Narrator] ...up in smoke.
[sighing] Wow...
[Narrator] In British Columbia's
Fraser Canyon...
...fall's first freeze
has ended
a record heat wave.
[Jamie] It's an ever-changing world out there.
I think everybody's happy
that that page has turned for us.
[Narrator] Near the town of Hope...
[Jamie] Eat up, you guys,
we gotta leave here in ten minutes.
[Narrator] ...at a local truck stop...
[Jamie] It's the first wreck
we've done this year together, too.
[Narrator] ...Jamie Davis...
It is.
[Narrator] ...and his brother, Jason,
are in for an unprecedented day.
[Jamie] We're at the old-time truck stop
that's been around for years.
It's kind of a family get-together in a weird way.
[Narrator] Nearby...
[Narrator] ...a cliffside wreck...
[Narrator] ...has traffic control setting up.
[Jamie] It's a big load.
[Narrator] ...Jamie...
...Jason...
[Jason] Here we go.
[honking horn twice]
[Narrator] ...and operator Chris Mervyn...
...roll three rotators.
[Jamie] There are times
when you need big machines.
This is the first time in my career
I've ever seen three rotators on one wreck, so...
it'll be interesting.
This is where we're supposed to be.
Saddle Rock.
[Jamie] We're utilizing the best equipment
to do this job properly.
Oh, there it is.
Uhh...
[air brakes hissing]
[Jamie] That's quite laid over, eh?
[Jason] Yeah, it is.
The challenge that we're facing here today
is it's right up against the rock face.
[Narrator] The semi lost control,
crossed the highway,
and crushed into the canyon wall.
[Jamie] The unit has mushroom compost on it.
Lots and lots of weight here.
-[Merv] That wall. -[Jason] What?
[Merv] On the inside, it goes like this,
and all of a sudden, it falls out.
On that back side.
[Jamie] There's probably at least 60,000 pounds
just in the box alone.
We're really worried about supporting the wall,
and bringing it up without any more damage.
We'll see.
[engine starting]
[♪♪♪]
[horns blare, engines roar past]
[Narrator] On the Canyon highway...
[Jamie] Trailer looks brand-new.
[Narrator] ...a big rig...
...on the rocks...
[Merv] They're not really engineered
to be pulled out of the ditch,
never mind being fully loaded.
[Narrator] ...has a trio of rotators on site.
[Jason] Rotators,
they're not very common.
Three of them in one place at one time is very rare.
[Jamie] What do you want to do?
We'll support it, we'll pull it a bit,
you turn the truck.
Okay.
We're dealing with a mountain face
on one side of us,
two lanes of highway,
and then basically down to the Fraser River.
Not much room to play with.
Going to get dirty.
[Jason] Going through the very front.
[Merv grunting with effort]
Yeah, there we go!
[Jason] You in?
[Merv] Yup.
[Jamie] We want two heavy rotators on the load.
The third rotator...
we're gonna use that on the front end.
[Jamie] Where's Brianna?
[Narrator] Today...
[Jamie] I have to take the bumper off.
The tow pin won't go in there.
Here you go.
[Alexis] All right.
[Narrator] ...the younger generation...
[Jamie] Perfect.
[Narrator] ...is here to help.
You can do this one.
It's good for them to be out and about.
[Jamie] Pull it out.
[Brandon] I don't remember the last time
all of us have gotten together
to go on a job before.
It is pretty cool to get everyone here.
You want to get on top?
[James Junior] Yeah, I was already thinking that.
[Narrator] Jamie's 19-year-old son,
James Junior...
It's cool to work with my dad.
It's better to learn with him.
[Jamie] Pull it over.
[Narrator] ...is stepping up.
Drag it over there now and put it on that.
Do you know how thankful I am to be down here, standing here?
[laughing]
My dad, he's so patient with you,
and he will explain it where you get it.
Put it down and let the clip come out.
[Jamie] If they all get switched on here,
I could have a heck of an army.
[Jason] Okay, good.
Nice.
[Narrator] With Aggressive's two rotators
cradling the box,
and Jamie's on the front end,
they'll try to coax the semi out.
[Jamie] The first order of business here
is to bring the trailer away from the rock wall.
Go more on your grey a little bit.
[Merv] Being that it's fully loaded,
we've definitely gotta be a little careful here.
[Jason] What do you see?
[Merv] Get him to move the nose.
[Jason] Jamie?
[Merv] We definitely gotta make sure
that we don't just rip it all apart.
These aluminum trailers,
you gotta try to spread the load out.
[hook shifting and banging]
[Jason] If we get too much pressure on one point,
it buckles the wall.
Easy, Merv, easy.
[Merv] Keep booming up.
[Jason] If it buckles the wall,
then the trailer will be a write-off.
[Merv] Don't go any more on that driver's side.
-[Jason] The front? -[Merv] Yeah.
[Narrator] It's a unique box,
worth more than 200 grand.
I'm done.
That trailer is expensive.
-Can't get it over? -[Jason] No.
There's a lot of physics to this...
You've got to run the math.
What do we need here?
[Jamie] What about a low line?
Go ahead.
[Narrator] A quick rerig...
Put it in there, young man.
[Narrator] ...may tip the odds.
[Jamie] We don't want to be greedy and pull it way up...
We just want to hang onto it.
[Narrator] With a low line...
-Good? -[Jason] Keep going.
[Narrator] ...the delicate tug of war
is back on.
[Jamie] There's a side of this
that could be very dangerous.
Forces are huge.
Things can happen.
[Jamie] This is a bad part, right here.
[metal creaking]
You can see I'm digging in the ground.
Ooh... Whoa.
[Jason] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Narrator] In the Fraser Canyon...
Ooh...
[Narrator] ...three rotators...
We need that big iron.
We need that big recovery capability.
[Jason] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Narrator] ...are on a rocky wreck.
[Jamie] That's heavy pullin'.
[Jamie] This whole thing has to be guided along
like an orchestra.
[Narrator] The team...
[Jamie] What do you want to do, go a little bit?
Yeah.
[Narrator] ...needs to fine-tune the plan
for the pricy trailer.
[Jamie] This is what they call a live floor.
The floor shuffles.
We're dealing with a loaded "walking floor"
leaning into a mountain.
It sure beats shoveling.
[Narrator] A "walking floor" trailer
offloads itself...
using hydraulic power.
[Jamie] These trailers are worth a lot of money,
more than $200,000.
Moving the load out of the trailer,
the floor goes back in sections
so the load stays in place,
and now it continues walking again.
[Jamie] It's very, very important
to recover this thing without further damage.
[Alexis] Oh, my god, look at that!
[Narrator] With Jamie's kids
on hand...
[Alexis] It's really cool
being around the heavy machinery.
It's crazy.
[Narrator] ...Dad...
[Jamie] Watch that line!
[Narrator] ...eyes an overhead threat.
[Jason] I've got a cable, Merv.
I'm three feet away.
Just above us, we've got some live power wires.
[Jamie] See the power lines here?
Power can jump from there to the wrecker.
You definitely don't wanna come in contact with those.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa!
[Jamie] Watch that line, Jase.
Watch that line!
[Narrator] 120 kilometres southwest...
[Narrator] ...Mission Towing's heavy iron
is on the move.
[Andy Cullum] Let's see what we got here.
[Narrator] Operator Andy Cullum
and Ty Kennedy...
So today we're headed over to the back of Mission.
[Narrator] ...lead the charge.
It's twisty, turny.
Quite the cliff on either side.
Coming up from our Fraser Valley location,
we're heading up Keystone Road.
Very, very steep.
It's a very tight road in general.
That'd be a ride from hell.
[Narrator] Arriving on scene...
[Ty] We were initially told
that it just needed a little pull backwards.
[Narrator] ...it's not what they expected.
[whistling]
[Ty] This is an RV down an embankment.
That's a big difference.
"Uh, it's hit a tree.
Can you go tow it, please?"
[Andy] Luckily, the driver bailed out
before it went over the hill...
so he's all right.
[Ty] That's a nightmare and a half.
[Andy] We can sling this rear wheel.
-Yeah. -Pull one up there.
Other truck,
we can probably go off the other wheel
and the front axle.
[Ty] Okay, well, let's set up with that.
[Narrator] Joining the 50-tonne wrecker...
Man, that must've been a hell of a ride.
[Narrator] ...is a 35-tonne
with a familiar face
now with a different company.
I just wanted to make a change,
and see how the rest of the world works.
[Brian] Oh!
[Ty] Yeah, it's not good.
[Brian] Fire in the hole!
[Narrator] For years, Brian Raasch...
Yes!
[Narrator] ...worked for Jamie Davis.
[Brian] Timber!
That's how you go logging in Canada.
[laughing]
[Narrator] Today...
[Andy] Did you loosen off your cable tensioner
so it's easier?
[Brian] Okay, that's a new one to me.
[Narrator] ...is Brian's...
It's right here.
[Narrator] ...first big recovery
on a new team.
So we won't even be able to--
No.
[Brian] With the new people
and different equipment,
it's a little stressful,
but I'm working through it.
[Narrator] The sidelined RV
is worth half a million dollars.
Ethen, just grab that and take it down.
[Ty] I wanna make sure that we salvage it,
because it's quite the expensive unit.
Perfect. Good.
[Andy] My concern is when we get it off that tree,
is it gonna try to go over?
Yeah, they are top heavy.
[Andy] We got everything ready.
Now the fun part begins.
Okay.
Ready?
[Ty] Yeah!
[Narrator] The 44,000-pound unit...
[Brian] Give 'er a good pull?
[Ty] Yeah.
Nice and easy.
There you go, yeah.
[Narrator] ...needs to make it...
[Andy] Pull with his right line!
[Brian] Pull 'er in?
[Narrator] ...up the punishing bank.
We wanna make sure we get it up in one piece,
and in good shape.
Brian,
slow down on that front line!
[crunching]
Whoa! Whoa!
[Narrator] An hour and a half northeast...
[Jamie] Watch that line!
[Narrator] ...three rotators
fight a wreck
under live lines.
[Jamie] If the boom is close to a power source,
we always worry about induction.
[Merv] I'd boom in and up, Jay.
[Jamie] Power can jump,
you know, fry everyone around you.
[Narrator] Hours ago,
the semi and its "walking floor" trailer
lost the road.
[Jason] Rerig the back.
[Narrator] Now...
[Jamie] You think that'll lift straight up?
[Merv] Yeah, if I grab both back,
we'll bring it up onto the roadway
in front of my outrigger.
[Narrator] ...Merv pivots
to focus on tilting the rear.
We're dealing with a fairly sharp degree of angle
on the one side.
[Merv] We're piled up into the rock.
[train horn blasting past]
Instead of pulling now,
we're gonna turn into a lift.
[Narrator] Underneath a daunting cliff...
-[rocks crumbling] -Oh, watch out!
[Merv] I wouldn't go on that side, J-Dog.
It's scary over there.
[Narrator] ...everyone must stay alert.
[Jason] This terrain that we're on here
is very, very susceptible to rockslides.
Very dangerous.
[Jamie] It's gotta be more than 40 years
that we've been recovering vehicles in the canyon.
So you've gotta really worry about rocks
or big chunks of ice.
[Jamie] I'm amazed that a big rock hasn't come down
and wiped me out already.
[Merv] You got 'er?
[Jason] I got 'er.
[Narrator] With the rerig dialled...
[Jason] It's moving.
[Narrator] ...the back end inches...
[Jamie] It's leaning, a hell of a lean.
[Narrator] ...away from the rocks.
[Merv] When you're lifting these things out
and trying to put them back on the road,
sometimes they shift.
[Narrator] Jason...
[Merv] Boom up a bit!
[Narrator] ...reels the rest of the trailer in.
[Merv] Bit more!
[Jamie] Whoa...
[Merv] You're potentially looking at having it
roll back over in the ditch,
or worst-case scenario,
roll my truck over.
Come up on your passenger a bit.
Yup!
Nice.
[Narrator] Team Aggressive...
[Jason] Okay.
[Narrator] ...have done their part.
Okay, Jame, it's all on you now, bud!
[Narrator] Now Jamie
needs to tackle
the front end.
[Jamie] My rotator,
it's gonna do it the quickest and most efficient way...
[Jamie] We're right up against the legs.
[Narrator] ...but keeping one lane open...
[Jamie] Trucks are going right by you,
in a really tight little space.
[Narrator] ...comes with a cost.
[Jamie] We're running out of real estate here.
[Merv] Whoa.
[Jason] Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho.
Hold it...
Hold it.
[Narrator] On the Canyon highway...
[Merv] Whoa.
[Jason] Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho.
[Narrator] ...a cliffside rig...
[Jamie] We're right up against the legs.
[Narrator] ...is too close for comfort.
Hold it!
Hold it.
Just about hit me.
[Jason] Whenever we're working with our rotators,
we're always very cautious about 'em.
[Merv] We'll just suck your outriggers in.
[Jason] I'm watching Merv's truck,
Merv's watching mine.
Okay.
Pick it up a little bit.
[Merv] Oh, boy!
[Jamie] I'm out!
[Merv] And it's out of the ditch.
[Jamie] I remember Jason and I doing jobs together
with two rotators,
but this is the first time we've used three.
[Narrator] For more than two decades,
rotators
have conquered the day...
[Jamie] I wanna get the boom out quite a bit on this one.
[Narrator] ...for Jamie...
...and Aggressive.
[Jason] Pretty soon I'm gonna have to boom out, Jamie.
Hold on, hold on.
[Jason] You look back at the jobs
and the complexities of some of them that we've done...
and say, "Yeah, that was a good job."
Wow.
[Narrator] ...but today...
[Jamie] I really enjoy where everybody's involved...
kids, brother, Merv, all of them.
[chuckling]
[Merv] Three rotators on one scene,
it's quite unique to be part of,
and it went quite well.
[chain settling]
-[Jamie] Whoa! -[Merv] Yee yee!
[Narrator] ...the payoff
is the "walking floor" trailer...
rolling away...
[Merv] It's out!
[Narrator] ...with its cargo intact.
Good job, Jame.
[laughing]
[Jamie] When you're working together,
utilizing the best equipment...
you're gonna have a successful job.
All right!
Okay, let's go.
[Narrator] To the southwest...
[Ty] Okay, keep pulling.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[crunching]
[Narrator] ...the Reliable-Mission team...
[Ty] Brian!
Slow down on that front line!
Whoa! Whoa!
[Narrator] ...battles an unwieldy wreck.
We don't see RVs every day.
Okay, pull.
I don't trust that at all.
This is one of the most unique recoveries I've ever been on.
That's sketchy.
[Narrator] Normally,
on this road near the highway...
[Andy] Holy!
Look at that truck.
[Narrator] ...the casualties are big rigs...
Okay.
Go ahead!
Take a pull.
[Ty] Trucks usually end up
at the bottom, rolled over.
[Ken Duperon] Perfect!
[Narrator] ...but today...
the fragile RV is something else.
[Andy] The second they start getting cracks
or breaks in them,
they can easily just all of a sudden tear apart.
[Ty] Okay, a little more.
Yeah, hold on.
Okay.
Let's just take a sec.
[Narrator] With the unit
dangling on a rugged bank...
If I can go a little bit more that way.
Yeah.
[Narrator] ...they need a way...
We got this to go still.
[Narrator] ...to make room
for the 45-foot-long RV...
I just don't want to get to the point of no return.
Let's get him to come to where he can hold it.
[Narrator] ...on limited blacktop.
[Ty] The way that it is sitting over the embankment,
the little room that we have on the road?
[Ty] Oh, that's gonna be tight, Andy.
[Andy] I know.
Very nervous.
[Narrator] The 50-tonne
is in the landing zone...
[Ty] You move, and then we'll finish pulling it up.
[Narrator] ...but if it lets loose to reposition,
the 44,000-pound wreck
may overwhelm the other truck.
[Ty] It's a bad angle.
[Narrator] Andy...
[Andy] Bit of a hillbilly here.
That'll hold it-- -No.
[Narrator] ...thinks he has a solution.
[Andy] Rig to a tree
so that we can move one wrecker at a time
and open up our work space.
[Narrator] ...but Ty...
[Ty] He's trying to say
that maple tree will hold this.
[Narrator] ...isn't sold.
This tree could fall down and potentially kill somebody.
No, no, no.
[Narrator] In the Fraser Valley...
[Andy] Bit of a hillbilly here.
-[Narrator] ...Andy... -[Ty] No.
-That'll hold it-- -No.
[Narrator] ...wants to harness big timber
on a tricky wreck.
[Andy] There's no book that will tell you
how to do every recovery.
[Narrator] ...but Ty...
No. No.
[Narrator] ...thinks the forest may not hold its ground
anchoring a 44,000-pound RV.
[Ty] I grew up in the logging industry.
My grandfather was killed by a tree.
I generally don't like to use anything but our wreckers
and/or a proper deadweight.
[Narrator] ...but on the narrow road...
[Andy] What we're trying to do
is a little bit of geometry here,
and see how we can best work the angles.
[Narrator] It's the only way
to keep the recovery moving.
[Ty] It's just one of those things.
Sometimes you gotta really think outside the box.
Hmm... Hmm, hmm, hmm.
It's not a bad idea. We'll try it out.
[Andy] We got this.
You just gotta be careful how you pull on it.
[Narrator] With Ty on board...
Try that, Ethen.
[Narrator] ...the crew starts to rig.
[Andy] Oh, boy. [chuckling]
[Narrator] With a strap around the tree,
they'll run a line from the 35-tonne
to hold the wreck
so the 50-tonne can reposition.
-Okay. -Whoo!
We're hooked!
Now hopefully it doesn't bring that tree down onto us all.
That'd be something.
If it moves, we'll see it at the top first.
Yes, I'm watching the little twigs.
Yeah.
[Ty] I'm looking for any sway or any movement.
If the tree goes, you gotta run fast.
I think that tree's gonna come.
Oh...
[siren wailing]
[Narrator] 20 kilometres south...
Rescue 1 confirms, and we're responding.
[Narrator] ...first responders roll up...
We'll get you to come out this way, okay?
[Narrator] ...on an unusual scene.
I can't really feel anything.
Okay.
[Paul Walker] Today we're doing a mock crash
at one of our local high schools.
Unresponsive, just holding c-spine here.
[sawing]
We'll start with the extrication.
In those cars are a series of actors
to play different roles,
some of them being injured.
[Narrator] Constable Paul Walker
is monitoring the event.
You want to jump out for me, sir?
[Narrator] Also with the Abbotsford Police Department,
constable Scott McLure
leads the force
in taking impaired drivers...
Right up here for me, Jas...
and here we go.
[Narrator] ...off the road.
[Scott McLure] I've done a lot of these investigations.
I've kind of become that trusted person on my shift.
All I can do is keep my fingers crossed
that the more I talk about it,
the more people hear it,
and maybe I potentially save somebody's life.
[handcuffs cranking]
[student] I'm definitely
going to take this into consideration
when I'm in social events and driving afterwards.
[student] You almost want everyone
to see something like this
to know how it really is,
'cause like we saw today, lives can be lost.
We hope this will guide them in making great choices
when getting behind the wheel.
If we can change one person's decision
for the better,
it was worth it.
[siren wailing]
[Andy] Watch that tree.
[Narrator] To the north...
[Ty] If the tree goes, you gotta run fast.
[Narrator] ...the Reliable-Mission team...
[Andy] Tell me if it starts moving.
[Narrator] ...is gambling...
[Andy] Whoa...
[Narrator] ...on the forest.
The tree's making some noises that I'm not super happy with.
[Narrator] The makeshift anchor...
I'm nervous.
I'm loose.
[Narrator] ...is being used
to hold a 44,000-pound RV.
[Andy] Okay, let's unhook.
[Ty] It's nerve-racking.
[Narrator] The 50-tonne wrecker repositions.
[Ty] I just want them to be quick.
[Ty] Okay, tighten yours up, Andy.
[Narrator] Now Andy
has enough room
for the next round.
[Ty] Let's take Brian's line off.
[Ty] Trying to use the tree,
Andy had a great idea.
It came together really well.
[Ty] Yup, yup.
[Ethen] Good old hillbilly.
We're lucky we have a well-rooted tree.
Quickly.
[Andy] Okay, we ready, then?
[Ty] Yeah.
[Narrator] The final test...
[Ty] We're almost there.
[Narrator] ...is finessing the low-riding RV
over the crest of the road.
[Ty] I don't like that noise.
There's so many challenges that are in heavy recovery...
Let it out.
It's fighting too much against itself.
[Ty] ...you add a 60-foot embankment to it,
a $500,000 RV,
it's a lot of pressure.
Rip it in half.
Boom down?
Yep.
[Andy] It's already like a cracked egg.
You've gotta be careful with it.
-[Andy] We don't got it yet. -[Ty] No.
[Andy] Hold on, hold on.
[Ty] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Andy] We don't got it yet.
[Ty] No.
[Narrator] In Mission,
a low-riding wreck...
Hold on, hold on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Narrator] ...is at the make-or-break point.
[Andy] That last step, going up a bank,
that's the stressful part of the day.
[Andy] We're losing it.
[Ty] No, we won't.
[Andy] You're most likely to break a vehicle in half,
have a vehicle roll over,
lose everything.
[Ty] We're almost at that tipping point.
[Andy] Let me get it, and then he can go.
[Narrator] The 45-foot-long RV...
[Ty] We have to do our absolute best
to bring it up over the edge
without causing any more damage.
[Narrator] ...slowly creeps...
Here we go, it's touching down.
Okay, start pulling it a bit!
[Narrator] ...over the crest of the road.
There we go, that's how I wanted it.
Beautiful. Nice job, buddy.
-Whoo! -Yeah, baby!
We want to get it out of here as quick as possible
because it is getting close to quitting time for everybody.
[Andy] Like a slingshot.
[Narrator] The half-a-million-dollar RV...
[Ty] That's good, that's good, that's good, that's good.
[sighing]
Gonna need a beer after this one.
[laughing]
[Narrator] ...is finally saved.
[Ty] Like, no damage extra.
Seriously, that was mint.
[Andy] Wow.
[Ty] Look at that!
[Brian] Right on.
[laughing]
[Brian] We've got it up on the road,
and it went great.
[Ty] There's a lot that goes on with these recoveries.
I'm just happy that we got it up on the road
with no extra damage.
[Narrator] In Hope...
[Jamie] Need to grease it and check the oil.
[Narrator] ...Jamie is hustling...
I didn't bring the hose in.
[Narrator] ...to get ready for the next call.
Well, the old rotator's on its knees right now.
We've really been going crazy with it.
It's finally at the point
where I've gotta stop and do maintenance.
[Jamie] I'm scrambling every day
to keep trucks on the road.
We are so busy.
I've got more oil on order.
I love to do the recovery work,
and the long-haul business for us has been good.
Okay, I'll fire it up.
[starting engine]
[Narrator] Earlier today,
Jamie's 30-tonne Mack
headed out for a highway haul.
[Jamie] We've committed to people.
If we tell you we're going to get your rig,
we're going to get your rig.
[phone ringing]
[Narrator] ...but then...
Hello?
How bad is it?
I'm getting multiple calls from truckers...
The Mack's on fire.
[sighing] Wow...
Oh, my god.
[Jamie] Oh, my god.
[Narrator] In Hope,
Jamie gets unthinkable news.
[sighing] Wow...
[Narrator] The Mack is burning
after loading a highway haul.
[Narrator] The driver is okay.
The brakes caught fire,
overheated coming down a hill.
[Narrator] Hours later...
[Narrator] ...the half- a-million-dollar wrecker
is totally destroyed.
[winch squeaking]
In this area, there is no fire department.
This just can't be happening.
Four winters ago...
James, that's it!
-Wow... -Look at that.
That one's nice.
Yeah.
[Narrator] ...the modern wrecker...
[Jamie] It's perfect.
[Narrator] ...was Jamie's first new truck in years.
[Sherry] Looks good.
Building the Mack was a turning point...
They signed it at the factory.
Oh, nice.
...in things getting better for us as a business.
A little bit on the blue one, down.
-Whoa! -Yeah!
That's what we wanted.
The Mack performed flawlessly.
[Jason] Let's get that winch line on.
[Jamie] Careful on this bumper.
Okay.
[Jamie] State-of-the-art unit,
beautiful paint,
pretty tough to beat.
Unbelievable.
[sighing]
[Narrator] As day turns to night...
[honking]
[Jamie] It's actually here?
[Sherry] Yeah.
[Narrator] ...Jamie lays eyes...
[Jamie] Wow.
[Narrator] ...on what's left of his truck.
[Jamie] That is just totally demolished.
Burnt, burnt, burnt to a crisp.
It's done.
I spent a lot of miles in that truck.
I just can't believe how destroyed it is.
[Jamie] It's a very sinking feeling.
There's nothing left of it.
Losing the Mack is a terrible thing for us,
for our business.
[Jamie] This thing was, like, brand-new.
You know, I went down to Tennessee,
and James came with me...
and look at it now.
The guys who were on the line actually, with felt pen,
they signed their name on the engine.
[voice breaking] That's a bit of an emotional thing to me.
'Cause they were... they cared, right?
They had so much pride.
Signing the valve cover for me, you know?
That hurts me.
[Jamie] To see it go down in flames
was just a real heartbreaker for me,
it really was.
I don't know how we're going to deal with that.
I really don't.
It's too much.
I'm nervous about the winter coming up,
because it affects the day-to-day.
Where that's gonna take us, we just don't know.
[Narrator] Next time on Highway Thru Hell...
ditched in deep...
[Jamie] Gonna earn our dinner tonight.
[Narrator] ...Jamie digs in.
Hey! Whoa! Oh!
[Narrator] A monumental job...
2.2 kilometres of sewer pipe.
[Narrator] ...brings in Al's...
-[Al] All right, fellas. -[Narrator] ...big iron...
-[Al] Feel this thing shakin'. -Stop!
-[Narrator] ...and... -[Ty] It's comin'.
[Narrator] ...it's all hands on deck....
[Andy] Keep pullin'!
[Narrator] ...for Reliable Towing.
[Andy] Whoa!
