[Narrator] This time on Highway Thru Hell...
[Kirpal] Holy.
[Narrator] ...a dump truck...
...tips towards disaster...
[Sim] Truck's right in the air.
[Narrator] ...a historic haul...
It's a Sherman tank chassis.
[Narrator] ...puts Al...
Aw, man!
[Narrator] ...on the edge...
[Al] The express road to the bottom.
[Narrator] ...and a season of mishaps...
Really disappointing.
[Narrator] ...has Jamie...
[Jamie] I wish I had our rotator.
[Narrator] ...questioning the future.
Why do I do this?
Why do I keep fighting this battle?
[Narrator] A late-season storm...
[Narrator] ...has hit the Coquihalla Highway.
[Narrator] Responding to the call,
a 16-tonne red wrecker...
[AJ Case] Hope for the best, expect the worst.
[Narrator] ...driven by 20-year-old operator
AJ Case.
This is gonna be my first time pulling someone up the hill,
and I'm looking forward to it.
[Narrator] The medium-duty wrecker
is seeing more action than usual.
That accident in the rotator has really hurt us.
[Narrator] Weeks ago...
Just a bad day for me.
[Narrator] ...Jamie's L.A. rotator...
Cab's blown right off the back end.
[Narrator] ...was heavily damaged in a crash.
[Jamie] Wow...
Poor truck.
[Jamie] Without the rotator,
we don't really have that heavy recovery truck.
Go ahead to your left.
And off to the body shop.
[Narrator] Tonight...
[AJ] I think this is our guy right here.
[Narrator] ...AJ learns his wrecker...
One of the two of them.
[Narrator] ...will be pulling double duty.
[AJ] This is him here.
This guy called us, so we're coming out for him...
...and then we can help the next guy.
What do you have as a load?
Okay.
[Jamie] This will be a challenge for AJ.
It may look like a simple process,
just pulling guys up the hill,
but it's not.
[Narrator] His first Coquihalla tow-up
on the hook...
[AJ] Hello?
[AJ] Put 'er in drive,
and then let me take off.
[Narrator] ...AJ prepares...
[Narrator] ...for a career milestone.
[AJ] I'm quite nervous.
It's the first time I've ever done something like this.
[AJ] The truck's fighting for traction right now.
[AJ] It's difficult.
There's definitely some things that can go wrong.
[groaning] Ah!
[engine starting]
[♪♪♪]
[horns blare, engines roar past]
[Narrator] On the Coquihalla...
[AJ] This is my first tow up the hill.
[Narrator] ...AJ's ride...
It's hard.
[Narrator] ...and chains
are put to the test.
[AJ] A medium-duty wrecker like this,
I don't have as much traction as a big wrecker would.
All right, give it some throttle
and try and help me go up the hill here.
[driver] Okay, okay.
[AJ] I'm starting to hear the chains going clickety-clack.
They could just grab something and come right apart.
[AJ] I don't wanna stop on the hill here.
There's a flat spot, and that's where we'll stop.
Okay.
[AJ] Feels pretty good
bringing this truck up the Coq.
You're good to go.
-Yeah, all good? -Yeah.
[Narrator] A successful tow-up
on the infamous highway...
[AJ] It's very stressful.
This is the first one I've done, ever.
[Narrator] ...is a massive notch in his belt...
...but AJ...
Coming up on our second one for the night.
[Narrator] ...isn't finished yet.
I really don't wanna break a set of tire chains,
'cause that'll just put me away for the night.
[Narrator] Arriving at the second semi...
[AJ chuckling] Oh, ho, no!
[Narrator] ...he sees a bad sign.
Tri-drive trailer, does that mean you're heavy?
Okay.
This wrecker's way too small for this...
It doesn't have the weight.
I honestly don't know if I'm gonna get this guy out.
...but I'm still going to give it a shot.
[honking twice]
This guy is heavy!
[groaning] Ah!
[clanking]
There goes the tire chains.
If you're a wrecker guy on the Coq,
there's lots of things you learn,
and one of them is everybody blows chains off
doing pull-ups.
Right here, it let go.
[AJ] I could just give up,
but I don't want to leave this guy hanging.
[Narrator] Without chains for added traction,
towing is no longer an option.
[AJ] Here's what we're gonna do.
I'll winch ya until we start to get over.
[driver] Okay.
Let's go!
[Narrator] AJ turns to his wrecker's 16-tonne winch.
[sliding and scraping]
I'm fighting, and fighting, and fighting.
[scraping]
It's like a slide at a playground...
...really hard to just climb right back up.
[Narrator] AJ is forced to recognize
his medium-duty wrecker...
[AJ] Are you kidding me?
[Narrator] ...is outmatched.
If I push my truck over the limit,
I'm just gonna break it.
[AJ] Your rear end won't come back out.
I'm gonna put up my white flag,
and I'm gonna call for some help.
I won't leave you stranded,
I'll give you someone else to use...
Yeah, no, that's fine.
...but I can't do it myself, right?
[Narrator] AJ gives the extra job...
[AJ] Hey, there, do you have any heavies on the Coq tonight?
[Narrator] ...to another company.
All right, here's the driver.
Hi!
-Yeah, okay. - Thank you, sir.
Okay. Okay, thank you.
If you don't have the right equipment,
you just gotta know when to call it quits.
-I apologize, man. -No.
You went over and above.
[Jamie] AJ made the right call.
It would be very terrible for us to lose another wrecker.
The guy that called us,
we got up the hill, not a problem.
I just wish I was able to do more.
[AJ] Getting a heavy wrecker
would mean the world to me...
...but my time will come.
[Narrator] The next morning...
[Narrator] ...back on the Coq...
[Narrator] ...a 25-tonne highway hauler rolls in...
[Jamie] We're just super busy.
[Narrator] ...with Jamie Davis behind the wheel.
I wish I had our rotator.
Even though 130's a big truck,
I'm pretty limited.
It's meant to go cross-country on pavement.
[Narrator] Jamie arrives
to a semi in deep snow.
Oh, okay.
That's good.
[Jamie] We continue to be very busy.
The long haulers are doing their thing...
...but we've lost major pieces of equipment
that are big in the heavy recovery side.
Okay.
Okay, grab that cable off.
You're out there to take care of the customers...
[Jamie] Yeah, you're gonna be good
just as long as you get off the road, eh?
[Jamie] I need that extra iron
to fulfill those promises.
Okay, let's get outta here.
[♪♪♪]
[Narrator] 120 kilometres southwest...
[Narrator] ...in the Fraser Valley,
spring has finally arrived.
[Narrator] MSA Towing's 50-tonne heads to a call...
[Sim Banwait] It's gonna be interesting.
[Narrator] ...with Gursimran Banwait, or "Sim."
We're heading down into a farm here in Abbotsford.
[Narrator] Riding shotgun,
his father, Kirpal.
[Kirpal Banwait] We are so excited to do the job.
We don't have to ask for the help.
We have the machinery to support the business.
[Narrator] Following behind
in the 35-tonne...
[G Banwait] We love this truck.
It's a beast.
[Narrator] ...Kirpal's eldest son, Gursharan, or "G."
Having The Moose is a big help.
When you need a second truck
with muscle and pulling power,
it's a great winching truck.
[Narrator] Pulling into the field...
...they get their first look...
[Kirpal] Holy.
[Narrator] ...at the fully loaded wreck.
[Sim] There's a dump truck that's loaded
and leaning pretty hard.
It looks pretty bad.
[Kirpal] Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
This is not something simple.
It's very tough.
[Kirpal] That's no good.
[Narrator] On a farm in the Valley...
Oh.
Um...
[Narrator] ...team MSA
faces a fully loaded dump truck...
Holy.
[Narrator] ...on unstable ground.
The dump truck was dumping a load,
and there was soft ground,
and he tip it over.
There's dump trucks everywhere.
[Narrator] Loads of nutrient-rich soil
must be brought in
to replenish fields
washed out by floods.
This farm was flooded last year.
[Narrator] Over a year ago,
historic floods
devastated Abbotsford's farmland.
[Narrator] MSA was on scene
supporting the community in the aftermath.
Yeah.
[Kirpal] We are feeling proud
to be helping the neighbours
and all the community.
Good, good.
[Narrator] Today,
efforts to avoid future floods are on hold
until they can recover the truck.
It's important for us to get this guy out
so he's able to get back to work.
[Sim] Let's just get him to scoop this out
as much as he can.
[Kirpal] Yeah, yeah.
[Sim] We're gonna get the excavator in there
and try to get as much soil out as possible.
[Speaking in Punjabi]
It reduces the weight,
and it's much easier for us to work.
[Narrator] But the big machine...
[Kirpal] The dump truck,
it will flip over.
[Narrator] ...is the only thing
keeping the wreck upright.
[Sim] Let's just get rigged up.
It won't come this way then.
[Kirpal] Okay.
We're going to hold the truck with the cables.
It will help stop tipping the truck.
[Sim] Okay, go.
[Narrator] With the wreckers now taking the weight,
the excavator
can finally get back to work.
[Kirpal] Good!
We are ready to pull the dirt out.
[Sim] He's going to empty it now.
That was a good scoop.
[Narrator] With the 12 tonnes of soil offloaded,
they can focus on recovering the truck.
Sim...
[Sim] Come look at it.
[Narrator] ...leads the charge.
My sons are getting better and better.
[Sim] Under the tailgate and through.
Now they tell me what to do.
[Sim] That's all we need.
Just throw that line over top.
[Sim] This line, it's going from underneath the truck.
We're gonna try to kinda like cradle it,
and just lift it out of this hole.
Okay, pull.
Go.
[Sim] Tighten it up a bit more.
[G] More?
[Sim] Yeah.
Wait, hold it.
[Kirpal] Hold on. Yeah, hold it, hold it there.
[Sim] Our rigging...
[Kirpal] Check the other side.
[Narrator] 100 kilometres northeast...
[Narrator] ...up the Fraser Canyon...
...rolls a big green wrecker...
...but Al Quiring...
Not every day is a tow truck day.
[Narrator] ...will soon be riding
a different workhorse...
[Al] Some days we have bulldozer days.
[Narrator] ...his trusty D9 dozer.
[Al] It's a husky little machine.
[Al] The job I'm doing today
is a little bit off the beaten path
from towing on the Coquihalla.
[Narrator] At the base of a forest service road,
it's only the start
of Al's journey.
Yeah, it's in the clouds,
but we're going up somewhere up that way.
We're going to go and recover a yarder.
[Narrator] A yarder
is a piece of logging equipment
used to wrangle felled trees
up extreme banks.
[Al] It's like a clothesline.
Those logs come back to the yarder.
[Narrator] Today...
[Al] Pretty steep grades and long descents.
[Narrator] ...before the dozer tackles the journey ahead...
We're going up four kilometres
of some of the worst logging roads.
[Narrator] ...it needs its front blade.
Because of the weight of what I'm going to be towing,
it's nice to have that extra 20-25,000 pounds
on the front of the machine.
[Narrator] Supporting Al today...
My dad's gonna unload the blade for the dozer.
[Narrator] ...is his father, Bob Quiring.
[Narrator] Bob has owned and operated Quiring Towing
since 1975.
[Bob] Hook on and go.
[Al] I grew up in my dad's tow truck.
He's got a lot more experience than me.
It's not that heavy.
It's tough being in a father-son relationship,
and being boss and employee...
You should use your trailer spike.
...but at the same time, it's a blessing too.
Beauty.
Another day in paradise. [chuckles]
[Al] Okay, contact.
I'm happy to be working alongside him.
All right, thank you.
[Al] It doesn't happen as much anymore,
so we'll cherish that as it is.
[Al] Okay, here we go.
We're going mountain goating.
[laughing]
[Narrator] With a maximum speed
of seven kilometres per hour...
The dozer's a heavy ride.
[Narrator] ...Al sets off...
[Al groaning]
[Narrator] ...up four kilometres
of punishing road.
[Al] Full-body abuse.
It's like being a punching bag, right?
[Al] Aw, man!
[Narrator] An hour and a half southwest...
...MSA's dump truck recovery...
[Sim] Okay, hold it there.
[Narrator] ...has hit a snag.
[Sim] There's a lot of sharp edges.
I'm really worried that our rigging will be damaged.
[Narrator] Kirpal...
[Kirpal] See this pipe there?
There's enough pipes.
Throw them in the line.
[Narrator] ...sees a solution
with leftover irrigation pipe...
[Sim] My dad is resourceful.
Sometimes we just have to work with what we have.
[Kirpal] Yeah.
[Narrator] ...but as they tighten up
the fortified rigging,
Sim...
[Sim] The diesel in there's not leaking.
I know it's gonna start leaking then.
Yeah.
[Narrator] ...sees another threat.
[Kirpal] The fuel tank is bent.
If we start pulling,
the tank will bust,
and the fuel will be everywhere.
[Sim] You should come in the front,
and just lift it right up,
then the tank won't hit the ground.
Yeah.
Take that one out.
I don't think that's gonna fit.
[Narrator] With the 35-tonne stabilizing the back,
and the 50-tonne at the front,
they'll lift
and pull
the dump truck
onto solid ground.
That's it.
[Narrator] While Kirpal takes the controls of the 50-tonne...
[Kirpal] Go ahead!
Pull your cable.
[Narrator] ...and G runs the 35-tonne,
Sim keeps eyes on the tank...
You need to go up higher.
[Narrator] ...and coordinates the pull.
Wanna just go boom up more?
[G] We need to lift it
so we can create clearance for the fuel tanks
to make sure they don't get punctured and leak.
[Sim] Keep going up, keep going up.
[Narrator] With 28,000 pounds on the line...
[G] Just like that!
[Narrator] ...team MSA...
[Sim] Tell him he's got too much weight on it.
[Narrator] ...are on high alert.
Listening for any creaks and bangs,
that tells us there's more resistance,
that it's caught up on something.
[Sim] Whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa, his truck's right in the air, man.
[Narrator] On an Abbotsford farm...
[Sim] Hold on, hold on, hold on.
[Narrator] ...a 14-tonne dump truck...
[Kirpal] I'm watching.
[Narrator] ...has MSA's 50-tonne
maxed out.
[Sim] Getting the front end off the ground,
it's not really working for us.
We don't wanna do any further damage.
[Sim] Yeah, well, what can you do now?
[Kirpal] Okay, um...
[speaking in Punjabi]
[Kirpal] Because it's not coming out smoothly,
we have to do something.
[speaking in Punjabi]
[starting engine]
[Narrator] With the driver
now adding power from drive axles...
[Sim] Whoa, whoa. Whoa.
[Narrator] ...coordination is key.
[Sim] Tell him to not give it too much throttle.
[Kirpal speaking in Punjabi]
[Sim] See if Dad can give him a pull forward.
[Sim] She's coming, she's coming.
Give 'er, give 'er, give 'er.
[Narrator] One last tug...
...and the wreck...
reaches solid ground.
[Kirpal] The recovery is done.
We are feeling great.
[Narrator] The fuel tank
remains intact.
[G] The customer's happy
we've saved his truck from any additional damage.
Glad it's out.
[Sim] The driver now can get back to his job...
and help these people rebuild their farm.
All set, ready to go!
[Kirpal] I'm almost semi-retired.
My sons are great.
They are taking the calls now
and doing all the major work.
[Sim] Teamwork makes the dream work!
[laughing]
[Narrator] An hour northeast...
[Al] Aw, man!
[Narrator] ...Al's hour-long ride on the D9...
[Al] It's a bulldozer.
It doesn't ride like an Escalade.
[Narrator] ...has finally reached its end.
[grunting]
Whew, that was a shaky ride up.
[Narrator] The yarder he's come for
is more than meets the eye.
[Al] It's a Sherman tank chassis.
This all...
underneath
took the Allies to freedom.
[Narrator] During World War II,
the Sherman tank
was the workhorse of the Allied ground troops.
[Al] After the war,
there was a huge surplus of Sherman tank chassis
converted into logging equipment.
That's cool.
[Narrator] Now,
Al's tasked with removing the former tank.
We gotta clear this machine out.
It's going in to get repaired.
Actual military towing equipment.
Okay.
[Narrator] Al's big dozer
hooks on.
[Al] This is all easy.
The fun part is going to be...
going down.
[Narrator] With a combined weight
of 200,000 pounds...
Al begins
the four-kilometre journey
back down the mountain.
[Al] It's a steep, windy slope.
There's a lot of momentum, a lot of power.
The last thing you wanna have
is things get out of control.
If you go off here...
...it's the express road to the bottom.
[Narrator] Al clears the cliffs...
...but nearing the bottom...
[Al] Friction.
[Narrator] ...the steep terrain...
[Al] Lots of friction.
Brakes are getting real hot.
[Narrator] ...takes its toll on the dozer.
[Al] Dragging the brakes all the way down.
Brakes are near on fire.
[Al] Brakes are hot.
[Narrator] On a steep forest service road...
[Al] Brakes are near on fire.
[Narrator] ...the heat is on
for Al's 200,000-pound tow.
[Al] Just let things cool down for a minute.
[Al] You stop while you can.
Trying to stop later
when your brakes are failed,
it's not going to end so good.
After some time to cool off...
[Al] Here we go.
[Narrator] ...Al's D9...
...is back on track.
[Al joking] J-d-d-d-d-d-d-shaky!
[laughing]
[Narrator] Finally...
[Al] Whoo! [laughing]
[Narrator] ...Al's four-kilometre journey...
[Al giggling] Whoo!
[Narrator] ...comes to an end.
[grunting]
We're down.
I'm glad we're out of there now.
[Narrator] With the yarder loaded...
...and on its way...
[Narrator] ...Al hits the road.
This winter, we had some different jobs,
working on the Coquihalla,
the Fraser Valley,
or up in the back roads.
As different as it possibly can be.
[Al] That's probably the biggest thing
that keeps me going back! [chuckling]
[Narrator] 150 kilometres east,
in British Columbia's southern interior...
...Reliable Towing's military rotator...
[Andy cheering] Yee-hoo!
[Narrator] ...is on a backroad quest...
[Andy Cullum] There's some big rocks
we gotta crawl over.
[Narrator] ...with operator Andy Cullum.
It's a fun experience
to learn what it's like
to drive these old military vehicles.
[Narrator] Along for the ride...
Sounds like a good time to me!
[Narrator] ...James Luke.
[James Luke] This is the first time
I've been up here.
It's going to be an adventure.
[Andy] Today we're gonna go and recover
a broken-down 4x4.
[Narrator] But before they reach their target...
...the pair...
...make a quick stop.
[Andy] When the settlers came through,
this is where they used to put their horses up at night.
[James] Kinda cool.
The old horse barn is one of the original buildings
from way back.
[James] All built by hand.
No chainsaws.
This is definitely not something you see every day.
[Narrator] But the barn
is more than just a historic artifact...
[Andy] From here, it turns into more of a trail.
[Narrator] ...it's the start of the Whipsaw Trail...
[♪♪♪]
...a pioneer route
blazed in 1849 by fur traders,
but more recently...
...it's become an off-roading playground,
and an area...
Getting ready to take this group up here.
[Narrator] ...Andy knows all too well.
[♪♪♪]
[Andy] Spare time, I like to go out off road,
get away from where the cellphone works.
[Narrator] But today...
[James] Now comes the fun part.
[Narrator] ...Andy's tackling the narrow trail...
[engine rumbling]
Yee-haw! [laughing]
[Narrator] ..in Reliable's six-by-six rotator.
[Andy] It's about three feet wider
than what normally goes through this trail.
Geez!
It's a pretty rough trail
in a military truck like this.
[James] Whoa!
It's a goat trail.
Aah!
[Narrator] In the mountains south of Princeton...
[James] Aah!
[Narrator] ...on the Whipsaw Trail...
Andy... -Whoa.
[Narrator] ...and James...
...are running a backwoods gauntlet.
[James] Getting whipped with branches...
I love it!
[Andy] It is the bumpiest ride
I've ever had through here.
Should we take the shortcut?
[cackling]
[Narrator] Andy is in his element...
...putting the military rotator to the test.
Whoa.
Off-roading is the best.
[Narrator] Up ahead...
[Andy] There it is.
[Narrator] ...Andy spots their target...
Yep!
[Narrator] ...but with the shortcut...
[laughing] Oh, my God.
[Narrator] ...there's one more obstacle to overcome.
[James] There's always the chance it could get stuck...
[Andy] Whoo!
...and then we're stuck...
[James] It's deep.
...but that's what that truck's built for.
[Narrator] Safely on the other side,
the team gets their first look
at the pickup
that didn't fare as well in the water.
[James] The floor mats are soaked,
and everything was soaked.
[Andy] Mechanically,
the truck is possibly pretty damaged,
you never know.
[Narrator] With Andy at the turret controls...
...James rigs up.
Should be good there.
[Andy] Now to make it out
with as minimal damage as possible.
Okay, let's go.
[Andy] No, not going through the swamp.
[Andy] With all the tight corners,
it's going to be extra challenging.
[Narrator] The 27-kilometre journey...
[Andy] Whoop!
[Narrator] ...back down the Whipsaw...
[Andy] It's nerve-wracking
with the truck swinging on the back.
[Narrator] ...is made even tougher...
Whoa!
[Narrator] ...by an unwieldy load.
Why's it swinging so much more?
[James] I don't know.
We need to take this one slow...
make sure we don't cause damage to the vehicle.
We gotta be extra careful.
[Narrator] As they pass the old horse barn...
[Andy] Yee-hoo!
[Narrator] ...the road flattens out...
[James] Definitely not an average job for us.
It's pretty awesome.
[cows mooing]
[Narrator] ...and it's happy trails for the team.
Should I get out and pet it?
[cows mooing]
We'll go up there again soon.
[cows mooing]
[Andy] Success.
Away we go.
[Suki Manj] Reliable has grown a lot
over the last three or four years.
No matter what comes our way,
we'll have people there to get the job done.
[Andy] Whoo!
Love it.
[Narrator] 120 kilometres west...
[Narrator] ...in Hope, B.C...
[Jamie] It's gonna come tumbling down.
[Narrator] ...Jamie takes advantage
of some down time...
[Jamie] Okay, give 'er!
[Narrator] ...to improve the safety
of the shop's wood stove.
We've been just nonstop.
So whenever we can get a chance to catch up...
...we do.
All right!
Good.
It could cause us a big fire.
We don't want to have that.
All right, going up.
[Narrator] The new stack
is a protective step
against any more unwanted disasters.
The heavy wrecker business is a tough business.
[tools whirring]
Okay.
It's hard work.
[Narrator] This past winter,
Jamie was hit harder than ever.
Not only did we have the Mack burning...
Wow.
...but now the rotator getting smashed up.
Really disappointing.
It took me right to the bottom.
Such a dark place.
[Narrator] Tonight...
[Jamie] I'm at the point
where I'm taking things day by day.
I could easily retire.
Why do I keep fighting this battle?
[Narrator] As Jamie grapples with his thoughts...
...an unexpected visitor
arrives at the yard.
Good Teddy.
Whoa ho!
[laughing]
What the heck are you doing, man?
[Narrator] At Jamie's yard in Hope...
Good Teddy.
Whoa ho ho!
I heard you got a new wood stove.
[Narrator] ...he has a surprise visitor..
former tow operator...
and old friend Colin McLean.
Colin was such a great guy to work with.
How ya been?
Good, man, nice to see ya.
-It's good to see ya. -Yeah.
He's a guy that I miss around the place.
I haven't seen ya in so long now
I forgot what you looked like, almost.
[Colin] Put 'er in gear!
-[Narrator] Four years ago... -[Colin] All right!
[Narrator] ...Colin was Jamie's lead heavy operator.
[laughing]
Whoo!
-[Colin] Had some good times... -[laughing]
...working with him.
It's definitely a lot of work.
I don't know how you old-timers did it
back in the day. -[laughing]
[Colin] We have a really good friendship.
Yeah, a lot of memories.
Decent, Jimmy, decent!
[Narrator] Now...
Yeah, a little reminiscing.
Mm.
[Narrator] ...he has
another surprise for Jamie.
Wow.
That's a long time ago.
[Colin] Yeah.
[Jamie] Do you miss the towing side of things?
Every now and then.
[Jamie] Looking at the photos with Colin
brings back those memories.
Everybody all sittin' around the old wood stove.
Yeah.
[Jamie] It makes me realize
that time is precious.
That's what makes me want to turn the page.
Yesterday was a bad day.
Tomorrow's a new day.
[Jamie] These are good pictures.
[Colin laughing]
[Narrator] Weeks later...
[Jamie] A good day!
[Narrator] ...Jamie is turning the page...
...with a new addition to his fleet.
[Jamie] Nice day to get out.
[Narrator] ...a 50-tonne heavy...
We picked it up down in California.
[Narrator] ...that he's dubbed HR-100.
It's bang-on what we need.
[Jamie] It's an eye-catcher...
...and this truck is gorgeous.
[Jamie] It's from my era. I really love it.
It's a 1988,
but it's virtually brand-new.
It's been sitting in a garage its whole life,
so everything is just perfect.
[Narrator] But the 50-tonne
is more than just good looks.
This is really filling the gap where the rotator would be.
You get a wreck,
you need these big monsters
to lift up big weight.
[Narrator] For Jamie,
it's the start of a new beginning.
Coming back from some pretty dark times.
This truck,
it kind of got me back in the game again.
We've had lots of challenges this year,
but no way I'm stopping.
You know, I'm really looking forward
to the next few years.
We're building a better fleet.
Everything that we're doing, it feels good.
You just keep rolling on.
