[Narrator] This time on Highway Thru Hell...
[Narrator] ...too close for comfort...
[Al Quiring] All right, here we go.
[Narrator] ...Al scrambles.
[Jamie Davis] I'm spinning my wheels.
[Narrator] Jamie's uphill battle...
[Jamie] Not a good way to start out.
[Narrator] ...is on the edge...
[Narrator] ...and team Autow
have a heavy metal...
[Rob Barber] Kyle!
[Narrator] ...tug of war.
[Rob] No, no, stop.
[Narrator] High on the Coquihalla...
[Narrator] ...winter is slamming drivers.
[Kurtis Brown] Snow's gonna pick up here shortly.
[Narrator] Highways Maintenance supervisor
Kurtis Brown...
Don't think it's gonna get better.
[Narrator] ...stays on top
of a growing storm.
Can you try to widen out that slow lane going up?
Just push it as close to the guard rail as you can.
[Kurtis] We've got a very unique
little section of the Coquihalla
what gets a ton of snow in such a short area.
[Kurtis] We want to do things smart,
but we also wanna be innovative.
[Narrator] Behind the scenes...
...is an advanced system supporting road safety.
[Narrator] 200 kilometres southwest...
Transportation Management Centre, Jen speaking.
[Narrator] ...the nerve centre
of B.C. Transportation...
[Jen] We have a lot of signs
that we can change when things happen.
[Narrator] ...keeps eyes on the road.
Our job is mostly making sure
that traffic is flowing smoothly.
If we see any incidents,
concerns on the highway,
we get in touch with our contractors.
[Narrator] With more than 600 cameras
province-wide,
the B.C. Transportation Management Centre
keep a real-time watch on the Coq.
TMC dispatch...
[Kurtis] Partnering with the Ministry,
we've focused closely
on being proactive about storms...
...so that we can try to keep it moving.
That's our main goal,
getting everybody to their destination.
[Dave] Okay,
and do you know at this point in time
how many lanes are blocked?
[Narrator] A call comes in...
Okay, thank you for the heads-up.
I will contact our contractors right away.
[Narrator] ...reporting an incident near the summit.
[Narrator] A semi has slid into a snowbank,
partially blocking the entrance
to Zopkios brake check.
[Narrator] Minutes away...
[Al] All right, here we go.
[Narrator] ...in a 50-tonne wrecker...
It's supposed to be ramping up.
[Narrator] ...Al Quiring heads to the call.
[Al] The offramp there is a notorious spot.
It's in a high wind area,
so the snow gets glazed over.
[Al] It's important we get the vehicle removed
as soon as possible,
because you don't know what's coming down that tube.
[Narrator] But before Al can arrive...
[crunching]
[engine starting]
[♪♪♪]
[horns blare, engines roar past]
[Narrator] High on the Coq...
[crunching]
[Narrator] ...a secondary collision...
[Narrator] ...is preventing vital access
to the brake check.
[Al] It's a spot where you're supposed to make sure
your brakes are operating properly,
because that 8.5% grade for, like, 12 kilometres
is a long ways down.
[Narrator] Al arrives on scene
to a familiar truck.
[Narrator] The flatbed
is part of the Aggressive Towing fleet.
[Al] Jason and I have had a lifelong relationship.
Maybe I can get a free lunch one day or something.
[Narrator] Al throws a line on the side...
[Al] Ready to roll?
[Narrator] ...and quickly pulls the lowbed clear...
There you go, sir.
Okay, thanks, Mr. Quiring.
[Narrator] ...with barely a scratch to show for it...
[Al] I can be tow truck guys helping tow truck guys.
[Jason Davis] Today we're lucky
because Al's up here on the hill.
It's nice to have friends.
[Al] All right.
[Narrator] ...but the rig that Al was first called for...
[Narrator] ...still remains.
[Al] We'll pull this out.
We'll get rid of the traffic queue there.
[Al] I can give him a little tug out of the way,
and then hopefully we'll be back to normal.
[Narrator] Highways Maintenance arrives...
[Narrator] ...to lend some grit
to the slippery surface.
They do their job,
and that's to keep that road clear
and traffic flowing.
[Narrator] With the semi on the hook...
[Narrator] ...Al pulls it out of the way...
[Narrator] ...and access to the brake check...
[Narrator] ...is restored.
Highways Maintenance and the Ministry of Transport...
[Dave] Copy that, car 2300, TMC dispatch clear.
[Al] ...we work together
to try and make the motorists safe
and keep that road clear.
[Al] Have a nice day.
[Narrator] 500 kilometres northeast...
[Narrator] ...in the foothills of the Rockies...
...a 40-tonne L.A. rotator
heads to a call...
[Jamie] Kind of a priority call.
[Narrator] ...with Jamie Davis at the wheel...
[Jamie] The main roads are clear,
but it's the back road or the off-road
that we're kind of worried about.
[Jamie] We're heading to a driveway,
to somebody's house, in the mountains.
I'm spinning my wheels right now.
[Narrator] ...but it's an uphill battle...
...for the 64,000-pound rotator.
Not a good way to start out.
[Jamie] Compact snow is slippery.
With a big truck like the rotator,
it is a bit of an issue.
[Narrator] Jamie backs in...
[Jamie] It's a tight little driveway.
[Narrator] ...to find a utility van
...hanging on...
...by a thread.
[Jamie] After the one end went down already,
they made a decision
to bring in a machine and hold it,
so that it wouldn't flip over.
[Narrator] ...but as he tries to get close...
[Jamie] I'm slidin'.
[Narrator] ...the elevated driveway
proves to be a challenge.
[Jamie] Each side of the driveway is just a bank,
straight down.
We could easily go off the edge too.
[Narrator] Arriving to help Jamie...
[Rob Wall] It's icy.
[Narrator] ...operator Rob Wall.
[Rob] Recovering the rotator out of there
would be a big job.
You think that van's expensive?
The rotator's worth a lot more than that.
[Jamie] That might get us up high.
[Narrator] Jamie armours up...
[Jamie] This will be enough
to get it where we need it to go.
That should do the trick.
It's chewing.
[Jamie] I'm actually amazed.
The road's a lot slipperier than I thought it was.
Go down and come back with more speed.
Just getting there is a fight, eh?
Okay.
Well, we got up the hill.
That's the first part.
[Narrator] But now, up close...
[Jamie] We don't have much space to work with here.
The driveway is very steep on each side.
[Narrator] ...Jamie sees the magnitude...
[sighing]
[Narrator] ...of the job at hand.
[Jamie] It's actually one of them jobs
that looks easy, but it's really hard.
[Rob] Yeah.
[Jamie] This is more complex.
It's risky.
Yeah, it's holding, but just by a thread.
This thing could go very bad in a hurry.
I don't like where we are.
[Narrator] On an elevated mountain driveway...
[Rob] That shoulder is just right there.
[Narrator] ...a 2,000-pound utility van...
I don't like where we are.
[Narrator] ...hangs in the balance...
We have very limited room to work and pull it out.
[Narrator] ...but to navigate the narrow space,
Jamie's counting on his L.A. rotator.
[Jamie] We can move the boom to the side,
winch it sideways, and winch it up.
It's really the best tool for this job.
[Jamie] Is that thing pretty secure?
Like, it ain't gonna go anywhere.
Yeah.
[Narrator] With an anchor
already established...
[Rob] The bucket's dug right in there good.
[Jamie] The skid steer is there to hold it,
make sure it doesn't flip over.
This one here,
straight to the back end from here...
[Narrator] ...Jamie takes advantage...
...and then the other one
will run off there to the front.
[Narrator] ...of what's available.
[Jamie] Go right around it.
[Narrator] With one line from the rotated boom,
and a second line off the skid steer,
Jamie will drag the van sideways
onto level ground.
[chuckling]
Okay.
Let's see what it'll do.
[Rob] These vans are real tippy
with their high centre of gravity.
[Jamie] Oof.
We could flip this van over.
You've got to be careful with this.
[Jamie] So I'll pull just on the front end.
[Rob] Yeah.
[Rob] Watch that van don't come back into the tow truck.
[Jamie chuckles] Yeah, I know.
[Rob] It's just about to pop up.
[Jamie] Okay.
[Narrator] With one last tug...
[Rob] It's up.
[Narrator] ...all four wheels...
[Jamie] Okay.
[Narrator] ...find the road.
I'm afraid of him coming back.
[Narrator] But the one-tonne van...
[Rob] Yeah.
[Narrator] ...is inches
from rolling down the other side.
I'm not feeling 100% comfortable.
[Jamie] Make the wrong move here...
[Rob] Oh, I know.
[Jamie] It's built up, and very steep on each side.
You don't wanna fall off that driveway.
I'm just gonna pick him right up.
[Narrator] With a high-slung line...
[Rob] Now just back up a little bit again, if it will.
[Narrator] ...Jamie...
[Rob] So just a touch more.
[Narrator] ...swings the van
in line with the driveway.
[Jamie] It's really a valuable part of the job here
to be able to rotate the boom
and support the load
as it comes back onto the roadway.
[Jamie] About there.
[Narrator] With the van fully on the road...
[Jamie] He can back up if he wants.
[Narrator] ...Jamie...
...moves out of the way...
[Rob] Just keep going the way you are, yeah.
[Narrator] ...and the owner...
[Rob] Yeah, you're good.
[Narrator] ...reverses toward safety.
[Jamie] That was good, that worked out good.
Kind of a technical recovery.
[Jamie] I've owned big ones, small ones,
in-between, all of them.
The L.A. rotator is just... so perfect.
It is, to me, probably the best tool out there.
[Jamie] We got 'er done.
[Narrator] 700 kilometres to the northwest...
[crow cawing]
[Narrator] ...outside Quesnel, B.C...
[Narrator] En route to the crash
in a 25-tonne Autow wrecker...
[Kyle Langlois] Rolling solo.
[Narrator] ...operator Kyle Langlois.
[Kyle] Rob, today,
is actually on his day off,
so I'm hoping I don't have to call him.
Because we don't like calling him in on his day off.
[laughing]
If I can do it by myself,
it's a proud moment for me.
I'm glad Kyle is taking responsibility
and trying to do this stuff on his own.
[Kyle] But you don't know until you get there.
[Narrator] 15 minutes from town...
[Kyle] Oh, it's a good one.
[Narrator] ...Kyle...
...takes in the wreckage.
[Kyle] It looks like he hit that side too.
[Narrator] The dump truck lost control...
[tires squealing]
...bouncing off a rock wall
before coming to a stop
in the snowbank.
[Kyle] He is right on his side.
[Kyle] Being solo here by myself,
there's some pressure
to get the job done properly.
Challenging about this recovery,
I would say,
getting it back up onto the road.
[Kyle] Uh...
I mean, I'll be doing everything.
[Narrator] On Highway 97...
[Kyle] We're out here solo.
[Narrator] ...Kyle from Autow...
[Kyle] I get the pleasure
of trying my best
to do everything on my own.
[Narrator] ...faces off
against a dump truck and trailer.
Challenging about this recovery I would say
is getting it back up onto the road.
[grunting]
Yeah, he's empty on the pup.
[Narrator] ...but even unloaded,
the 64,000-pound wreck will be a struggle.
[crow cawing]
[Kyle] I'm in the 25-tonne,
so it's a little bit more of a job.
Things come into factor
when you're just one truck, so...
[Kyle] It would be better
to have a second wrecker on site for this one.
[Narrator] Feeling outmatched by the load...
[Kyle] We're gonna do this tomorrow.
[Narrator] ...Kyle will return with more iron.
[Narrator] 650 kilometres south...
[Narrator] In the Fraser Valley...
[Narrator] ...officers from B.C. Highway Patrol...
Copy.
[Narrator] ...roll out under the supervision...
[Holly Turton] Stay safe.
[Narrator] ...of chief superintendent Holly Turton...
[Turton] Hope that nobody hits us.
[Narrator] ...for a public awareness campaign
called "Slow Down, Move Over."
[Turton] When motorists pass vehicles
on the side of the road
that have red, blue, or yellow flashing lights,
they need to slow down,
and, where possible, move over.
[Turton] We have multiple police cars
on the side of the road,
and where there are people
who fail to slow down and move over,
the officer will then conduct a vehicle stop with them.
[Narrator] Minutes into the operation...
[Merryman] This white trades vehicles,
it had the opportunity to move over, but it did not.
Copy.
[sirens wailing]
[Narrator] ...officers spot a motorist
disregarding the law.
I'm literally inches from the curb lane,
and I now am trying to conduct a traffic stop,
and I don't even have enough room to open my door.
[brakes screeching]
[crunching]
[Heath] Point in case,
there's a perfect example
of a driver that is not paying attention.
That could have been me as I got out of my car.
We are putting our life on the line here.
Just pull over here, okay, both of you,
and exchange your information, okay?
[Turton] We're all at risk
when people don't give us the space
to do the work that we need to do on the highways.
It's not just police.
There are fire departments, ambulances,
tow truck drivers...
Hey, Dustin, you on here?
[Narrator] It's an initiative...
10-4.
[Narrator] ...that hits too close to home
for former Aggressive operator Dustin Wardstrom.
My worst day on the job.
[Narrator] Years ago,
while loading a vehicle on the side of the highway...
[ambulance sirens]
[Narrator] ...Dustin was struck.
[Dustin] Cube van lost control and smashed into me,
crushing me in between that vehicle and my truck.
I ended up in the hospital for just under two months.
It was very traumatic for us as a company...
...and our driver's life has been affected
for the rest of his life.
[Dustin] You see a truck on the side of the road,
slow down, move over.
[Narrator] Today,
B.C. Highway Patrol officers...
The reason I'm pulling you over today
is because when you pass an emergency vehicle
with the red and blue lights on,
it's your job to slow down to below 70...
-Below 70. -...and move to the left lane.
[Narrator] ...enforce the law that will save lives.
[Heath] So I need to get your driver's license, please.
I'll be right back, sir.
[Turton] I worry about my officers,
and it's not uncommon for me
to find out that my police officers
have been in car accidents.
You're receiving a ticket for failing to slow down
or move over for an official vehicle, okay?
The fine's $173.
Drive safe.
[Turton] It's important to remember
that people who are working on the highway,
they want to go home to their families
at the end of the night,
just like the rest of us.
[police sirens]
[Narrator] Eight hours north...
[Narrator] ...on Highway 97...
[Kyle] This will be interesting.
[Narrator] ...Kyle returns to the crash.
We're gonna try it again.
[Narrator] Joining in a 50-tonne wrecker...
[Rob] I'll let Kyle do it.
[Narrator] ...owner of Autow,
Kyle's uncle, Rob Barber.
He started it, he can finish it.
[Rob] I'm gonna leave my truck off to the side,
and we'll see if we can do it with his truck
without helping him.
And there's our gravel truck.
[Narrator] Yesterday,
the truck bounced off a rock wall...
...slamming onto its side...
...before spinning to a stop.
[Rob] You should tie the box down to the frame.
[Kyle] Oh?
[Rob] When I was Kyle's age,
I learned by trial and error,
and had to learn the hard way.
[Rob] So it doesn't fold out when it rolls over.
[Kyle] Okay.
I'm glad to pass my knowledge down to Kyle.
[Rob] Just hoop that.
[Kyle] Wrap that?
[Rob] Yeah.
[Kyle] When Uncle goes to show his little tricks,
I try and pay attention the best I can.
Might as well do a quick closure.
It's always bad to close the highway...
...so it's kind of critical
that he can get in there and stand it up
as fast as he can.
[Narrator] Using only the 25-tonne
with lines to the front and rear axles,
Kyle will roll the dump truck
back onto its wheels...
[Rob] Roll it over.
[Kyle] Okay.
[Rob] This is Kyle's first time
to roll a truck over by himself...
[Rob] ...and he's also blocking the highway,
so it's gonna put a little more stress on him.
[Narrator] ...but the 32-tonne wreck...
[scraping]
[Narrator] ...is winning the tug-of-war...
[Rob] You're dragging it now.
[Narrator] ...against Kyle's 25-tonne heavy.
[Kyle] I'm on the controls.
My truck is starting to slide.
[Rob] Pull on one end.
[Kyle] If my truck keeps sliding,
we won't have enough room
to be able to upright the truck behind me.
We won't be able to do the recovery.
[Rob] No, no, stop.
Kyle!
[Narrator] On Highway 97...
[Narrator] ...a sliding wrecker...
[Rob] No, no, stop.
[Narrator] ...is putting the brakes on Kyle's recovery.
[Rob] Just a sec, Kyle.
[Rob] Kyle's trying to pull the truck over,
but it's a little bit heavier than his small 25-tonne.
Pull on one end.
[Narrator] So Uncle Rob...
[Rob] Pull on just the drive.
[Narrator] ...steps in...
-Just the drive? -Just the drive.
[Narrator] ...to give some guidance.
[Rob] No, no, stop.
Well, the-- just the front, then.
[Rob] We're gonna try to get the front tire
to come down first
to flex the frame rails...
Rock it back and forth.
[Rob] ...and use some of the truck's weight
so the truck will help itself roll over.
[Rob] There it goes.
Yeah, you're letting it down.
[Narrator] With a little coaching...
There.
Good!
[Narrator] ...the wreck is back on its wheels.
[Kyle] That was good.
That went actually fairly decently.
[Kyle] It's nice to have Rob on scene.
Every time I do a recovery,
he's got a new trick or a new way of doing things.
[Rob] Break it down so you can get off the road.
Now that we have the truck uprighted...
...we can get them ready...
...to tow back into town.
[Narrator] But as Kyle moves to pull the pup trailer out...
[engine revving]
[Kyle] Little bit of a hard pull.
[engine revving]
[Narrator] ...he hits another snag.
[Kyle] I'm spinning.
[laughing] I'm on ice.
[Narrator] Fortunately...
[Rob] I can drag it.
[Narrator] ...backup is already on scene.
[Kyle] Turns out
that I'm gonna need my uncle to pull me out.
Little embarrassing, I guess.
[laughing]
[Narrator] With a little family support...
[Kyle] I'm good.
We ended up actually needing the 50-tonne after all.
[Narrator] ...Kyle finally gets the trailer...
[truck honking]
[Narrator] ...out of the snowbank...
[Rob] Haul it away.
[Narrator] ...and on its way
back to the yard.
[Rob] Kyle did very well.
Next time I'm pretty confident he can do it by himself.
[Kyle] This was a good recovery.
It was a good accomplishment.
There's no better feeling.
[Narrator] 640 kilometres south
in the Fraser Valley...
...a loaded rock truck
is buried
in the bog.
[Narrator] Responding to the call,
an Aggressive 50-tonne...
[Jaydan Dick] Come on, come on.
[Narrator] ...and operator Jaydan Dick behind the wheel.
Hopefully it's not too difficult,
I can get the job done.
Not too sure how this is gonna work out.
[groaning] Ugh...
[Narrator] On his first solo job...
[Jaydan] I can't get over far enough
to pull the trailer over.
[Narrator] Jaydan was forced to call for backup.
[Merv] I'm here.
[Merv] Let's get as much up as we can.
[Jaydan] A few lessons learned.
Some things I could do differently next time.
[Merv] Jaydan, he'll either be able to do it,
think his way through it, or he'll call for help.
As long as you can count on that,
I can pretty much send him anywhere.
[Narrator] Helping out today...
Are you ready to go play in the mud?
Always.
[Narrator] ...is newly hired swamper
Travis Scott.
[Travis] Are you?
No.
I got my gumboots, though.
[Jaydan] It's always nice
to have an extra set of hands.
[Narrator] Arriving at a local farm...
[Jaydan] This looks like she's gonna be a fun time.
[Narrator] ...Jaydan...
[Jaydan] Oh, damn.
[Narrator] ...gets his first look.
[Jaydan] He was backing in to dump his load off,
and just spun his wheels and sunk himself in the mud.
Hopefully we don't have too much suction
holding 'er down.
[Narrator] But rescuing a rock truck...
[Jaydan] I don't think
we can really pull off anything else.
[Narrator] ...comes with unique challenges.
[Travis] Yeah, I think that's all we got.
[Jaydan] On a normal tractor-trailer,
you've got two hook points at the front
you can distribute the weight evenly.
Okay, we're going to start rigging.
This rock truck only has one hook point.
[Narrator] Weighing in at over 22 tonnes...
[Travis grunting]
[Narrator] ...the single rig point...
...will be doing double duty.
[Jaydan] We're gonna hook two lines
so we can kind of lift it and pull at the same time.
[Travis] Should be good.
[Jaydan] Hopefully our recovery point at the front
is strong enough
to take the capacity of two lines.
Nobody to lean on.
I gotta come up with the best plan
to get the truck out.
[Travis] You ready to party?
[Jaydan] I was born ready.
[Narrator] Jaydan starts pulling with the 50-tonne...
[Travis] There we go.
A pick and a pull.
[Jaydan] We're kinda breaking the suction of the mud
and winching it up and out.
[laughing] Yeah!
[Narrator] But just as the front wheels break free...
[Travis] No!
Ah, she's just spinning.
Definitely not an ideal situation to be in.
[Travis] Okay, hold, hold up, hold up, hold up.
[Narrator] In the Fraser Valley...
[Travis] Ah, she's just spinning.
[Narrator] ...a partially loaded rock truck...
Okay, hold, hold up, hold up, hold up.
[Narrator] ...is weighing down
Jaydan's single-wrecker job.
[Jaydan] It's a lot heavier than a typical dump truck.
Gonna make our recovery a little harder.
[Narrator] But Jaydan sees a way...
[Jaydan] You wanna dump that?
[driver] Yup.
[Narrator] ...to lighten the load.
[Jaydan] Just so we lose weight.
Jaydan really understands physics and weights.
He can add up the math
and come up with the right decision
to make stuff happen.
[Jaydan] Go again.
[Narrator] 3,000 pounds lighter...
Okay, everybody clear!
[Narrator] ...Jaydan resumes the pull...
[Travis] Keep going.
[Narrator] ...with an eye on the lone tow pin.
[Jaydan] Having two lines to the same point
on the front of the truck,
you kinda wanna make sure you're not gonna break anything.
[Narrator] The rear wheels...
Come on.
[Narrator] ...finally climb onto firm ground,
and the pin...
[driver] There we go!
[Narrator] ...holds.
[Travis] Hey, hey, hey!
The dump truck is free.
[Travis] Oh, yeah.
[Narrator] Jaydan's second heavy job...
[Travis] You're good!
[Narrator] ...was muddy...
Hopefully he's good.
[Narrator] ...but he's coming away
with a clean victory.
It feels good getting the job done on my own.
That shows everybody
that I can complete whatever they throw at me.
[Merv] Jaydan did a top-notch job.
The reason I know that,
I didn't get a phone call,
and I don't have a broken tow truck in my yard.
[Narrator] 120 kilometres northeast...
[Narrator] ...unexpected snowfall...
[Narrator] ...on the Canyon highway...
[Narrator] ...catches drivers by surprise.
[Suki Manj] The mountains in that area
have severe winter conditions
that come upon you without notice.
[Narrator] Working non-stop calls
in a Reliable 50-tonne wrecker...
[Dylan Greenwood] Busy night.
[Narrator] ...operator Dylan Greenwood.
[Dylan] Once I'm done my job, I'm off to the next one.
Work doesn't stop.
[Dylan] Just gonna back down the hill.
Whew!
[Dylan] This guy must be the man.
[Narrator] Dylan arrives at the first
of two lumber B-trains
blocking the highway.
[Narrator] He's met
by highway authorities.
[CVSE worker] He spun out
and slid backwards into the brand-new truck.
[Dylan] Oh, yeah?
[Dylan] We'll get 'em dragged apart
and get it to the top of the hill,
and worry about it there.
He should be able to help me.
[Narrator] Dylan hooks onto the front
with the 50-tonne...
Good.
[crunching]
[Narrator] ...and with the driver's help...
...pulls the lumber B-train free...
Keep 'er coming, bud.
[Narrator] ...hauling the massive load up the hill.
They're grossed at 120,000 pounds.
[Dylan] There we go.
Perfect.
[Narrator] With the first rig out of the way...
[Dylan] You guys can go.
-Good to go? -Yeah.
[Narrator] ...Dylan
reverses back down...
[Narrator] ...to the second B-train.
[Dylan] Crushed the frame rail.
Ouch.
[Narrator] ...but upon closer inspection...
[Dylan] Engine oil underneath it?
Just coolant?
[Narrator] ...Dylan spots game-changing damage.
[Dylan] The fan is definitely pushed into the rad,
so we're gonna try to keep it from running.
[Narrator] He has to pull this rig up the hill...
[Dylan] It's a dead-power unit,
so it's extremely heavy,
being a fully loaded B-train of lumber.
[Narrator] ...with no help from the damaged tractor.
[Dylan] 10-4.
I'm gonna have to put the full weight onto my wrecker.
120,000 pounds of lumber.
It's a big boat anchor.
[scraping]
[Narrator] In the Fraser Canyon...
[Narrator] ...a damaged-engine deadlift...
10-4.
[Narrator] ...is putting Dylan...
...to the test...
[Dylan] As we're pulling this thing up here,
you're dangling a lot of weight off the wreckers.
[Narrator] ...but with traffic at a standstill...
[Dylan] Going.
[Narrator] ...Dylan...
...pushes ahead.
[Dylan] So we're just trying to get up a little bit of speed
and get it into the grip
so that we can, uh...
we can carry it to the top.
Just gonna pull you up to the level section here.
[Dylan] The more communication,
the safer it's going to be.
Just heavy.
[Dylan] As soon as I get to the well-sanded
and well-plowed area on the road...
I start to get some traction.
