39
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:11,397
      It's kinda stressful

40
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:13,266

  [AJ] We're on a blind corner,

    You're on a blind corner.   

51
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:39,893
        This is a really        
         dangerous spot.

        We need something       
          a lot bigger.         

70
00:03:51,364 --> 00:03:54,133
       I'm gonna run back

74
00:04:24,564 --> 00:04:26,566
             [Jamie]            
 This could be a real challenge.

75
00:04:26,566 --> 00:04:29,902
           [Narrator]           
    ...driven by Jamie Davis.   

76
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:34,107
        We're pulling up

00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:37,343
        [Narrator] Today,       
     a local tow company...

 [Jamie] This is their customer,

79
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:40,613
  so I'm just kinda helping out 
       with a spare truck.      

80
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:44,384
           [Narrator]           
   ...needs his L.A. rotator.   

81
00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:46,252
             [Jamie]            
  This trailer's fully loaded.  

82
00:04:46,252 --> 00:04:47,520
      It's in a bad corner.     

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,122
             [Jamie]            
  They wanna try to get it out  

84
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:51,257
      without unloading it      
 right on the side of the road. 

85
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:57,597
             [Jamie]            
     The rotator is the key     

86
00:04:57,597 --> 00:04:59,198
   to bringing the trailer out  
             loaded.

          [Jamie] Wow.

    ...meets the local crew.    

93
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,415
         I wanna go look        
       on the other side.       

94
00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:19,118
 [Jamie] First thing on my mind,

95
00:05:19,118 --> 00:05:20,153
    what's on the other side    

96
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:22,555
        between the rocks       
        and the trailer?        

97
00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:24,257
         Maybe the wall         
       is already damaged,      

98
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:25,191
      or it won't hold up.      

99
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:27,360
          Look at that.         

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,928
  [Narrator] Damage is limited, 

101
00:05:28,928 --> 00:05:32,665
        but 20,000 pounds       
        of mixed goods...       

102
00:05:36,202 --> 00:05:38,771
     [Narrator] ...threaten     
        to break through        

103
00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:41,107
        the fragile wall.       

104
00:05:41,107 --> 00:05:43,509
 [Jamie] Is there nowhere to get
  a strap anywhere, you think?  

105
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:46,646
   It's pretty much intact...   

106
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:49,582
         ...and we gotta        
        keep it that way.       

107
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:52,685
     [Jamie] I'll swing this    
           around now.          

108
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:55,788
           [Narrator]           
 He'll use the rotating boom...

        [sirens wailing]        

110
00:06:00,326 --> 00:06:02,061
           [Narrator]           
 ...to keep the highway moving. 

111
00:06:02,061 --> 00:06:04,931
        [Jamie] A rotator       
         really is great        

112
00:06:04,931 --> 00:06:06,032
 for keeping this traffic going.

113
00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:10,570
    [Jamie] Fire or ambulance   
         need to get by.        

114
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,704
      Having the lane open      

115
00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:12,972
  is really an important thing. 

116
00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:20,446
        Rotators are able       
  to stay confined in one lane  

117
00:06:20,446 --> 00:06:21,547
     and keep traffic going.    

118
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:23,049
             Ready?             

119
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:24,884
           Nailed it!           

120
00:06:28,421 --> 00:06:32,658
           [Narrator]           
  With lines hooked to straps,  

121
00:06:32,658 --> 00:06:35,728
        the L.A. rotator        
      will lift the trailer     

122
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,197
         off the rocks,         

123
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:41,801
   then with the other wrecker  
     hooked to the tractor,     

124
00:06:41,801 --> 00:06:45,438
      they'll pull the semi     
          onto the road         

125
00:06:45,438 --> 00:06:46,973
           in unison.           

126
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:49,342
      [Jamie] Little more.      

127
00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:51,177
              Okay.             

128
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:53,413
    Hopefully that works out.   

129
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,783
 [Narrator] With the heavy load 
       against the wall...      

130
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:58,851
  [Jamie] I don't know if it's  
      going to work, but...     

131

     the fragile trailer...     

132
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:03,423
   [Jamie] We might get lucky.  

133
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:05,591
     [Narrator] ...is risky.    

134
00:07:09,495 --> 00:07:10,430
         [Jamie] Go now?        

135
00:07:13,866 --> 00:07:15,635
        [Jamie] The load        
     is resting on the wall.    

136
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:21,607
 [Jamie] If you pull too hard...

137
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:24,911
 ...it could crack the sidewall.

138
00:07:27,814 --> 00:07:29,549
      [Jamie] Man, oh man.      

139

140
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:41,461

          That's good.          

145
00:07:52,271 --> 00:07:54,474
      I don't want to pull      
      any more against it.

 [Narrator] ...off a rock wall. 

147
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:57,810
             [Jamie]            
  You don't want to get greedy. 

148
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,378
          That'll work.         

149
00:07:59,378 --> 00:08:01,314
       You want to keep it      
       away from the wall,      

150
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:02,148
        then support it.

161
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:37,250
    We're gonna have to work    
       together in unison

00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:48,060
          Almost there.         

166
00:08:50,396 --> 00:08:53,966
   [Narrator] Once the tractor  
        reaches the road,       

167
00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:56,903
    it can drive itself out.    

168
00:08:58,704 --> 00:09:01,207
 Other than the original damage 
   from him hitting the rocks,  

169
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:04,210
the trailer has no other damage.

170
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:06,946
  [Jamie] Everything's intact,  

171
00:09:06,946 --> 00:09:07,947
and the customer's saving money.

172

        With the rotator,       
      we've had no hiccups,     

175

         [honking horn]         

183
00:09:35,474 --> 00:09:37,743
    [Jamie] That's the beauty   
          in a rotator.         

184
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:38,945
      Really the best tool      
          for this job.

        It's my first run       
         with this truck

 doing a big recovery like this.

191
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:14,480
         [AJ] This truck        
        is twice the size       

192
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,917
          of the truck          
     that I normally drive.     

193
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:19,385
 It's a bit of a learning curve.

00:10:26,826 --> 00:10:29,028
  [AJ] I don't want to be there 
            too long.           

197
00:10:29,028 --> 00:10:30,596
        It's a bad spot,        

198
00:10:30,596 --> 00:10:32,965
       and the likelihood       
   of being hit on the road...  

199
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:36,168
       Brianna wouldn't be

      ...in Mission, B.C...     

284
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:06,872
     [Narrator] ...en route     
      is a 35-tonne wrecker     

285
00:15:06,872 --> 00:15:10,576
           with fresh           
    Reliable Towing decals...   

286
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:12,912
     [Ty Kennedy] This thing    
     is literally brand-new.    

287
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:15,581
           [Narrator]           
    ...driven by Ty Kennedy.    

288
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:18,384
      It's the cat's meow.      

289
00:15:18,384 --> 00:15:19,818
   Yeah, this truck's awesome.  

290
00:15:19,818 --> 00:15:21,587
     [Ty] I'm taking it out     

291
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:24,123
   on its first-ever recovery.  

292
00:15:24,123 --> 00:15:26,358
    I don't wanna scratch it.   

293
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,161
           [Narrator]           
     Earlier this winter...     

294
00:15:29,161 --> 00:15:31,096
   [Ty] It's the nicest truck   
        I've ever driven.       

295
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:34,300
   [Narrator] ...Ty completed   
     a cross-country journey    

296
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:36,468
          from Toronto          

297
00:15:36,468 --> 00:15:39,438
 to bring the new wrecker home. 

298
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:42,808
   Pretty excited to have 'er   
          on the road.          

299
00:15:42,808 --> 00:15:44,176
        Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!       

300
00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:46,245
            [Julian]            
    Look at how fresh it is.    

301
00:15:46,245 --> 00:15:47,413
            Love it!            

302
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:53,319
       [Narrator] Joining       
    the new wrecker today...    

303
00:15:56,588 --> 00:15:58,724
           [Narrator]           
 ...the Mission Towing 50-tonne,

304
00:15:58,724 --> 00:16:01,794
   and operator Andy Cullum...  

305
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:06,265
         [Andy] Another         
      rainy day in Mission.     

306
00:16:06,265 --> 00:16:07,199
            Love it.            

307
00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:10,769
   [Narrator] ...but the scene  
        awaiting them...        

308
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:14,206
        [Andy] Holy crap!       

309
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:17,776
     [Narrator] ...is worse     
       than they expected.      

310
00:16:17,776 --> 00:16:19,511
   He sent a few pictures in,   
             but...             

311
00:16:19,511 --> 00:16:22,181
      [Andy] It got deeper.     

312
00:16:23,215 --> 00:16:25,851
    [Andy] With all this rain   
          we're having,         

313
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:26,885
     the water's coming up.     

314
00:16:29,021 --> 00:16:30,823
          I don't think         
 it's gonna run anymore, either,

315
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:32,658
      all those electronics     
      with the water on it.     

316
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:36,161
    Yeah, it has to come out    
          dead weight.          

317
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:38,831
      [Andy] The excavator      
     being dead in the water    

318
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,499
  means more resistance for us. 

319
00:16:41,333 --> 00:16:44,236
It can't run to move the tracks,

320
00:16:44,236 --> 00:16:45,371
   or the bucket, or anything.  

321
00:16:45,371 --> 00:16:47,906
           [Narrator]           
    Then a local resident...    

322
00:16:47,906 --> 00:16:50,175
      Oh, there's a beaver      
          right there!          

323
00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:52,211
  [Narrator] ...reminds them... 

324
00:16:52,211 --> 00:16:53,178
         [Andy] The beav        
      isn't happy with us.      

325
00:16:53,178 --> 00:16:54,480
           [Ty] Mm-mm.          

326
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,617
   [Narrator] ...that this is   
     also wildlife habitat.     

327
00:16:58,617 --> 00:17:00,386
       [Ty] He's wondering      
 what's happening with his home.

328
00:17:01,353 --> 00:17:03,689
         [Ty] I feel bad        
        for the animals.        

329
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:05,190
        Hopefully we can        
      get out of here soon.     

330
00:17:06,225 --> 00:17:08,727
           [Narrator]           
 On the muddy stream crossing...

331
00:17:08,727 --> 00:17:10,596
     I wonder if we can back    
           onto here.           

332
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:13,032
  [Narrator] ...Andy and Ty...  

333
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,034
  [Ty] It's so soft over here.  

334
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:16,902
           [Narrator]           
  ...have little confidence...  

335
00:17:16,902 --> 00:17:18,404
     [Ty] This is like soup.    

336
00:17:18,404 --> 00:17:22,541
    [Narrator] ...in the road   
     the excavator fell off.    

337
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:24,510
  [Ty] We're not crossing that. 

338
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:27,446
 We don't wanna risk our trucks 
 being damaged or getting stuck.

339
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:29,715
    [Andy] You wanna go with    
      an angle right there?     

340
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:30,616
           [Ty] Yeah.           

341
00:17:30,616 --> 00:17:31,683
  [Narrator] The alternative... 

342
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:33,619
       [Ty] There you go.       

343
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:35,687
        [Narrator] ...is        
    to pull the excavator...    

344
00:17:37,256 --> 00:17:38,891
    ...towards the main road.   

345
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:40,626
        [Andy] So fancy.        

346
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:42,628
             I know.            

347
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:44,696
       [Andy] First wreck,      
        Ty bends the boom       

348
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:45,831
     on the brand-new truck.    

349
00:17:45,831 --> 00:17:47,399
        Yeah. [laughing]        

350
00:17:48,367 --> 00:17:51,036

        from the 50-tonne       

351
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:53,138
         to the tracks,         

352
00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:55,407
 and lines from the new 35-tonne

353
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:57,776
         to the bucket,         

354
00:17:57,776 --> 00:17:59,711
     they'll pull the tracks    

355
00:17:59,711 --> 00:18:02,448
    in line with the wrecker,   

356
00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:06,151
           then winch           
    the entire excavator out.   

357
00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:11,156
     [Ty] That's good there.    

358
00:18:14,626 --> 00:18:15,661
          [Andy] Okay.          

359
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:18,464
        [Ty] I'm nervous.       

360
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:19,665
  We're gonna see what happens. 

361
00:18:20,532 --> 00:18:21,467
      Let's give it a try.      

362
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:23,168
    [Narrator] Both wreckers    

363
00:18:23,168 --> 00:18:25,404
          begin pulling         

364
00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:29,675
 46,000 pounds of dead weight...

365
00:18:32,678 --> 00:18:34,680
        [Ty] There we go.       

366
00:18:36,515 --> 00:18:38,150
          It's coming.          

367
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:40,519
      [Andy] It's working,      
          it's working.         

368
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:42,521
    [Narrator] ...but then...   

369
00:18:42,521 --> 00:18:43,789
           [Andy] Hey!          

370
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,290
         My front end's         
      two feet in the air.      

371
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:47,926

377
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:07,112
    stuck dead in its tracks.   

378
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:12,151
 [Andy] We gotta get it to pivot

379
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:13,318
  without the machine running.  

380
00:19:14,786 --> 00:19:15,821
          [Ty] Come on.         

381
00:19:19,258 --> 00:19:20,826
   [Ty] If this doesn't work,   

382
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,094
         I have no idea.        

383
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:28,800
       What's fighting us?

          [Andy] Whoa!          

392
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:52,324
     It starts to lean over     
          pretty good.          

393
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:56,094
 We don't want this to tip over 
         in the water...        

394
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:58,764
   ...and dump oil everywhere.

 [Narrator] The two wreckers... 

396

        You pull, I pull.       

397
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:08,574
   [Narrator] ...must perform   
        a delicate dance.       

398
00:20:08,574 --> 00:20:12,444
 [Ty] It's a coordinated effort 
       by both operators.       

399
00:20:12,444 --> 00:20:13,478
  We'll try and get this done.  

400

       Job done. Job won.       

412
00:20:50,649 --> 00:20:52,684
  [Narrator] ...and the locals

00:20:52,684 --> 00:20:55,187
     can go about their day.    

414
00:20:55,187 --> 00:20:58,924
     It's important to keep     
     the environment clean.     

415
00:20:58,924 --> 00:21:00,859
          We did that,          
      and we got 'er done.      

416
00:21:02,027 --> 00:21:03,028
      [Andy] Did it again.

      given any challenge,      

424
00:21:20,245 --> 00:21:21,179

     the town of Quesnel...     

427
00:21:49,708 --> 00:21:52,277
   ...a 50-tonne Autow wrecker  

428
00:21:52,277 --> 00:21:56,148
   launches down Highway 97...  

429
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:57,482
          [Rob Berber]          
     There's a logging truck    

430
00:21:57,482 --> 00:21:58,917
     that burnt last night.     

431
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:04,456
   [Narrator] ...with company   
 owner and operator Rob Barber. 

432
00:22:04,456 --> 00:22:07,326
              [Rob]             
  Logging is our main industry. 

433
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:08,927
           Pretty much          
      everybody in Quesnel      

434
00:22:08,927 --> 00:22:10,295
     survives by a sawmill.     

435
00:22:11,963 --> 00:22:14,166
           [Narrator]           
       Arriving on scene,       

436
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:17,703
          Rob discovers         

437
00:22:17,703 --> 00:22:19,271
          the trailers          

438
00:22:19,271 --> 00:22:22,174
 were untouched by the flames...

439
00:22:24,276 --> 00:22:25,243
           [Narrator]           
      ...but the tractor...     

440
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:28,547
      ...is unrecognizable.     

441
00:22:31,149 --> 00:22:34,353
    [Rob] It burnt a lot more   
        than we thought.        

442
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:35,721
          Burnt trucks          
     are hard to deal with.     

443
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:44,262
        Yeah, holy crap.        

444
00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:48,467
           [Narrator]           
      Despite the blaze...      

445
00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:51,837
   [Rob] It melted them tanks   
           right off.           

446
00:22:51,837 --> 00:22:55,474
           [Narrator]           
 ...the load of logs was saved. 

447
00:22:55,474 --> 00:22:56,808
     A farmer with a tractor    

448
00:22:56,808 --> 00:22:58,944
dumped snow on top of the truck.

449
00:22:58,944 --> 00:23:01,113
    The wood didn't get burnt   
           very badly,          

450
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:04,149
  and they'll salvage the load. 

451
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:06,651
   [Narrator] Also on scene...  

452
00:23:06,651 --> 00:23:08,820
        [Gerard Langlois]       
        What a mess, eh?        

453
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:09,988
           [Narrator]           
    ...Rob's brother-in-law,    

454
00:23:09,988 --> 00:23:12,691
        Gerard Langlois.        

455
00:23:12,691 --> 00:23:14,659
   [Rob] Gerard's my go-to guy  

456
00:23:14,659 --> 00:23:16,228
   for helping me do cleanups.  

457
00:23:17,462 --> 00:23:18,697
      [Gerard] That metal's     
          been heated.          

458
00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:20,632
        It's deformed it.       

459
00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:23,301
  [Rob] After something's burnt 
            that hot,           

460
00:23:23,301 --> 00:23:26,905
  it's hard to find solid metal 

461
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:28,006
      to safely pick it up.     

462
00:23:31,176 --> 00:23:32,544
            [Gerard]            
    I think that'll be okay.    

463
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:34,012
        [metal snapping]        

464
00:23:34,012 --> 00:23:35,480
        [Narrator] But...       

465
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,848
          [Gerard] Ooh,         
     look at the smoke now.     

466
00:23:36,848 --> 00:23:38,417
       [Narrator] ...after      
    hooking up for the tow...   

467
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:39,885
      [Rob] Tire's burning.     

468
00:23:39,885 --> 00:23:43,054
           [Narrator]           
  ...fresh air fuels the fire.  

469
00:23:44,222 --> 00:23:46,758
       [Rob] It's burning       
        pretty good now.        

470
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:50,262
       Sometimes the tires      
    will start on fire again.   

471
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:53,432
    [Gerard] That rubber just   
  doesn't want to give up, eh?  

472
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:54,533
    [Rob] You need more snow.   

473
00:23:56,368 --> 00:23:58,236
   We gotta try to get it out   

474
00:23:58,236 --> 00:23:59,704
      before we can move it     
         down the road.         

475
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:01,940
        [Narrator] Rob...       

476
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:03,475
 [Rob] I think that'll be okay.

      ...smothers the fire.     

478
00:24:09,347 --> 00:24:10,849
     [Narrator] But then...     

479
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:11,917
               Oh.              

480
00:24:11,917 --> 00:24:14,252
           [Narrator]           
  ...he spots a new problem...  

481
00:24:15,554 --> 00:24:17,055
         [Rob] Oh, wow.         

482
00:24:17,055 --> 00:24:18,256
  Transmission fell out of it.  

483
00:24:18,256 --> 00:24:20,859
           [Narrator]           
   ...the entire transmission   

484
00:24:20,859 --> 00:24:23,295
   has dropped to the ground.   

485
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:28,200
      It's one more problem     
          to deal with.         

486
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:31,069
           [grunting]           
     I hate burnt vehicles.     

487
00:24:38,443 --> 00:24:40,912
      [Narrator] 40 minutes     
       south of Quesnel...

    [Rob] The transmission...   

489
00:24:42,647 --> 00:24:43,849
      [Narrator] ...Rob...      

490
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:45,016
        That's a problem!       

491
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:47,819
     [Gerard] Oh, it's right    
   completely off the engine.   

492
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:49,921
   [Narrator] ...and Gerard...  

493
00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:54,359
    have an 800-pound problem   
            to solve.           

494
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,062
   [Rob] I've never had a fire  
     melt the bell housing,     

495
00:24:57,062 --> 00:24:58,830
    and have the transmission   
      fall out of a truck.      

496
00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:02,501
     [Narrator] ...and with     
   the wreck still smoking...   

497
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:03,969
   [Rob] I don't really wanna   
      lay underneath there      

498
00:25:03,969 --> 00:25:05,237
    and pull the drive shaft.   
          -[Gerard] No.         

499
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:08,240
 [Narrator] ...the transmission 
       is in a tough spot.      

500
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,274
   [Rob] That don't seem like   

501
00:25:09,274 --> 00:25:11,309
        the safest place        
       in the world to be.      

502
00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:13,011
              [Rob]             
   We have to somehow lift it   

503
00:25:13,011 --> 00:25:14,813
 so it can come with the truck. 

504
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:17,382
         [Gerard] Can we        
       hook a chain under       

505
00:25:17,382 --> 00:25:19,484
    and hook it on the frame?   

506
00:25:19,484 --> 00:25:20,919
     [Rob] Might be able to.    

507
00:25:24,589 --> 00:25:27,692
           [Narrator]           
   With a well-placed throw...  

508
00:25:29,127 --> 00:25:30,762
 [Rob] Okay, pull it towards ya.

509
00:25:30,762 --> 00:25:33,331
     [Narrator] ...they keep    
their hands out of the embers...

510
00:25:34,666 --> 00:25:36,835
      [Gerard] There we go.     
            Try that.           

511
00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:39,704
    [Narrator] ...and secure    
the transmission to the wreck...

512
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,276
          You got 'er.          

513
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:46,878
            Oh, yeah,           
   it's right off the ground.   

514
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:48,380
         It'll hopefully        
      hold it all together.     

515
00:25:49,314 --> 00:25:51,750
          See if I can          
      make it up there now.     

516
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:53,685
    [Rob] We gotta transport    
          down the road         

517
00:25:53,685 --> 00:25:55,120
      so we can offload it.     

518
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,323
   [Rob] I probably won't get   
   outta first or second gear.  

519
00:25:58,323 --> 00:26:01,059
           [Narrator]           
   ...but the next pullout...   

520
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,930
   ...is two kilometres away.   

521
00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:06,598
       We don't want to go      
       very fast with it.       

522
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:11,603
      [Narrator] Rob starts     
       crawling the wreck       

523
00:26:11,603 --> 00:26:13,471
        down the highway.       

524
00:26:17,642 --> 00:26:19,010
        [Rob] I'm hoping        
        the transmission        

525
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:21,713
  doesn't fall on the ground... 

526
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:24,583
        ...and the truck        
       doesn't fall apart.      

527
00:26:40,498 --> 00:26:42,000
   [Narrator] After 15 minutes  

528
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,602
       of a tenuous tow...      

529
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:44,436
           [Rob] Okay.          

530
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,137
   [Narrator] ...Rob makes it   

531
00:26:46,137 --> 00:26:48,607
     safely into a pullout.     

532
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:50,842
      [Rob] Now we'll just      
          get unloaded.         

533
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,511
 We can get a picker to come in 

534
00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:55,146
   and pull the wood off of it  

535
00:26:55,146 --> 00:26:56,514
    and reload another truck.   

536
00:26:58,016 --> 00:27:00,652
    [Narrator] A specialized    
     picker truck arrives...    

537
00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:05,657
   ...and begins transferring   

538
00:27:05,657 --> 00:27:09,494
 3,000 pounds of logs at a time.

539
00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:14,666
      Every load of lumber      
  helps our community survive.  

540
00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:20,972
    [Narrator] With the logs    
          on their way,         

541
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:23,875
  there's one last challenge... 

542
00:27:23,875 --> 00:27:25,644
    [Kyle Langlois] Yee-haw.    

543
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:28,546
   [Narrator] ...that will be   
    handled by Gerard's son,    

544
00:27:28,546 --> 00:27:30,782
         Kyle Langlois.         

545
00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:33,018
     [Kyle] We're gonna have    
      a little bit of work      

546
00:27:33,018 --> 00:27:34,319
        ahead of us here.       

547
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,554
              Holy.             

548
00:27:36,554 --> 00:27:38,256
     [Rob] We're gonna load     
     the burnt logging truck    

549
00:27:38,256 --> 00:27:39,224
      onto the deck truck.      

550
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:42,894
  It'll be a safer, cleaner way 
      to go down the road.      

551
00:27:42,894 --> 00:27:44,896
        We might be able        
        to lay this over.       

552
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:46,464
              Yeah.             

553
00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:50,035
   [Narrator] As dusk falls...  

554
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:55,006

    Oh, yeah, she broke. Ha!    

557
00:28:01,713 --> 00:28:03,948
           [Narrator]           
      ...regulation height.     

558
00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:06,418
      That should be good.      

559
00:28:07,886 --> 00:28:09,487
  [Rob] Kyle has learned lots.  

560
00:28:10,822 --> 00:28:12,090
 He'll take over more and more, 

561
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:14,359
 and I can slow down a lot more.

562
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,261
          There you go.         

563
00:28:16,261 --> 00:28:18,730
   [Kyle] I want to keep going  
       with the business.       

564
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:19,831
 That would be my biggest goal. 

565
00:28:19,831 --> 00:28:21,032
      [Rob] It's on there.

  a lot of eyes on this truck.  

723
00:36:34,325 --> 00:36:36,127
   It's in really good shape.

           Yes, well,           
 they're solid steel, you know. 

725
00:36:38,162 --> 00:36:40,431
   Everything's solid, solid,   
        solid with them.        

726
00:36:40,431 --> 00:36:41,666
    Don't make them like that   
        anymore, do they?       

727
00:36:41,666 --> 00:36:42,867
       No, they don't, no.      

728
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:45,403
       [Ken] Gonna go look      
         at some trucks.

00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:53,010
          [truck owner]         
      This is a bush truck.

00:37:09,093 --> 00:37:11,829
      Never, ever seen one      
         in my lifetime.        

742
00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:15,433
    [Ken] I didn't even know    
     they made Hayes buses.

00:37:16,801 --> 00:37:17,635
      That's it, you're in.     

744

      It's locked. I'm in.      

745
00:37:18,769 --> 00:37:21,505
      Wow. That is amazing.     

746
00:37:21,505 --> 00:37:23,441
    This would be pretty cool   
          to be driving

00:37:51,135 --> 00:37:54,405
  [Ken] I put a lot of hours in

           All righty.          

761
00:37:58,309 --> 00:38:00,578
   [Ken] It gives you a reason  
    to get up in the morning.   

762
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:03,581
 It's a new chapter in my life.

765
00:38:17,995 --> 00:38:19,697
   I have some very sad news.   

766
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:25,536
     My dad has passed away.

796
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:08,606
      My dad was very picky     
      how his fleet looked.     

797
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:12,943
    All the trucks here today

00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:20,751
    but he wouldn't show it.

      The towing community,     
     he was very big in it.

805
00:40:32,463 --> 00:40:33,764
         [Jamie] And so         
      we put it in a frame      

806
00:40:33,764 --> 00:40:34,932
    and brought it up to ya.

810
00:40:40,337 --> 00:40:43,307
      This is the old truck     
        we used to drive.       

811
00:40:44,475 --> 00:40:47,111
      [Ken] It wasn't about     
     the money all the time.    

812
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:49,346
  It was about his satisfaction 
          in business,          

813
00:40:49,346 --> 00:40:52,583
    and how he helped people.

       [Dylan] He affected      
    a lot of people's lives.    

815
00:40:56,821 --> 00:40:58,622

            come out            

816
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:00,624
      and show remembrance      
          for Grandpa.

     Well, this is amazing.

             It is.             

819

        of Mission Towing       

820
00:41:07,865 --> 00:41:08,966
          is hard work,         

821
00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:10,367
       and Wally was that.      

822
00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:12,369
    I was about 19 years old,   
        I drove for him.

            -Oh, wow.           
             -Yeah.             

824
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:16,540
   Oh, he's definitely missed   
    in the towing community.    

825
00:41:19,043 --> 00:41:22,179
      [Cary] He was a very      
     well-spoken, kind man.     

826
00:41:22,179 --> 00:41:23,981
       If you needed help,      
      he was there for you.     

827
00:41:27,818 --> 00:41:30,488
           Tough job,           
   but somebody's gotta do it.  

828
00:41:31,388 --> 00:41:35,459
           Be careful,          
  and I don't want it wrecked!  

829
00:41:35,459 --> 00:41:36,894
    That's my pride and joy!    

830
00:41:36,894 --> 00:41:40,564
   [Ken] He was really devoted  
         to his company.        

831
00:41:40,564 --> 00:41:43,067
       That was a very big      
         love of his...

00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:45,836
           [laughing]           

833
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:47,304
    ...and sometimes I think    

834
00:41:47,304 --> 00:41:49,673
       he maybe liked that      
      more than us, but...      

835
00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:50,975
          I don't know.         

836
00:41:50,975 --> 00:41:52,576
         [truck honking]        

837
00:41:52,576 --> 00:41:55,713
         Wow, it's nice         
      to drive this again.      

838
00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:57,381
    Just like old times, Dad.

        he was my father.       

843

      all these years, too.     

845
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:08,759
          [Wally] Yeah.         

846
00:42:08,759 --> 00:42:10,027
       Good and bad times.
