00:01:54,314 --> 00:01:56,916
  where they have not been able 
    to get snowplows through.   

40
00:02:09,229 --> 00:02:12,232
 [Kerry] I am amazed that there 
   is so much volume out here.  

41
00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:13,933
 Kilometres of stopped traffic,

00:02:13,933 --> 00:02:17,470
     and they've been there

00:02:19,672 --> 00:02:22,742
      Oh, man, that's deep.

00:02:22,742 --> 00:02:26,079
     So this is Highway 401

00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:31,584
    Are you loaded or empty?    

48
00:02:31,584 --> 00:02:33,453

    Eight hours, yeah, yeah.    

51
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:41,961
      [Kerry] The plows are     
 struggling to get on location. 

52
00:02:41,961 --> 00:02:44,130
   We just need to figure out   
          the best way          

53
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:45,832
   to get this traffic moving.

        a long lead line.

56
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,938
 We're gonna get one lane open. 

57
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,445
     Don't stop, don't stop.

  we've got one lane open here, 

67
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:25,371

      a dozen or so trucks      

68
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:26,839
      to clear outta here.      

69
00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:29,342
       Pulling a trailer?       

70
00:03:29,342 --> 00:03:30,476
             Really?

              Why?              

74
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:42,989
    They're jammed up there.    

75
00:03:42,989 --> 00:03:44,290
All right, we got more problems.

76
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:45,625
            Oh, boy.            

77
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:46,960
          What a mess.          

78
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,994
       See, as they stop,       

79
00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:49,629
     they lose their energy,    

80
00:03:49,629 --> 00:03:50,597
    and they're stuck again.    

81
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:55,034
              [♪♪♪]             

82
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:18,124
        Come on, come on.       

83
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:19,359
         [Kerry] Finally        
    we have traffic moving...   

84
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:20,627
           Get movin'!          

85
00:04:20,627 --> 00:04:22,028
    ...but then I see traffic   
     stopped in front of me.    

86
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:24,197
    We need to get it moving    
           right now.           

87
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:25,932
   Why are you driving today?   

88
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:27,133
     [Kerry] Unfortunately,     

89
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,402
  I'm seeing plenty of vehicles 
         that are stuck         

90
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:30,570
    with their summer tires,    

91
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:31,738
     their all-season tires,    

92
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:33,873
    and it just doesn't have    
      that extra traction.      

93
00:04:33,873 --> 00:04:37,610
  Okay, don't stop, don't stop. 

94
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:41,581
       This is the meeting      
    of the summer tire club.    

95
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:45,551
   [Narrator] Some assistance   
        has just arrived.       

96
00:04:45,551 --> 00:04:46,619
      [Kerry] There you go.     

97
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:48,988
       Hook onto whatever       
       you can hook onto,       

98
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:50,189
         and pull it up!        

99
00:04:50,189 --> 00:04:51,291
     Just keep a lane open!     

100
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,393
           Keep going,          
     keep going, keep going!    

101
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:55,295
      Sure, take this guy.      

102
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:56,796
             [Kerry]            
    At the front of this line   

103
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:58,331
  I see three transport trucks, 

104
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,932
       and they are stuck,      
         they need help.        

105
00:04:59,932 --> 00:05:01,334
         Okay, go back!         

106
00:05:01,334 --> 00:05:02,769
       [Kerry] Hopefully,       

107
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:05,305
    we can at least clear out   
      a few of these trucks     

108
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:06,773
    to create a single lane,    

109
00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:08,508
      because there's a lot     
        of four-wheelers,       

110
00:05:08,508 --> 00:05:10,877
   smaller vehicles and trucks  

111
00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:12,045
   that are able to get moving  

112
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:14,480
      that are stuck behind     
    these disabled vehicles.    

113
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:17,784
         Okay, let's go!        

114
00:05:17,784 --> 00:05:18,751
               Go!              

115
00:05:24,090 --> 00:05:25,425
    That's good, keep going!    

116
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,365
           All right!           

117
00:05:32,365 --> 00:05:34,667
            Let's go!           

118
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:37,503
       You're cookin' now!      

119
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:38,638
        Good job, buddy!        

120
00:05:39,906 --> 00:05:41,341
         [honking twice]        

121
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:44,444
    Oh, these guys are happy.   

122
00:05:44,444 --> 00:05:45,345
   [Kerry] This is great news,  

123
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:46,512
        and we're making        
         good progress,         

124
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:49,816
          and the plows         
      are finally moving...     

125
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:51,718
     You guys got this now?     

126
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:54,087
 [Kerry] There's a lot of trucks
         that are stuck,        

127
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:56,222
          and it'll be          
     truck by truck by truck    

128
00:05:56,222 --> 00:05:58,858
           to finally,          
      hopefully, you know,      

129
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,893
        get this highway        
        open and moving.        

130
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:23,049
           [Narrator]           
     400 kilometres east...     

131
00:06:27,653 --> 00:06:31,190
     [Narrator] ...the storm    
        is still raging.        

132
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,063
   [Narrator] ...and the roads  
         around Cornwall        

133
00:06:37,063 --> 00:06:39,732
     are taking a heavy hit.    

134
00:06:42,835 --> 00:06:44,871
    [Andrew Vink] Started off   
     with the flash freeze,     

135
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:47,006
 and then this stuff turned into
       a full-on blizzard.      

136
00:06:47,006 --> 00:06:49,242
           [Narrator]           
      Heading west of town,     

137
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:50,510
         near Ingleside,        

138
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:54,013
    Andrew Vink is closing in   
           on hour 15           

139
00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:56,849
       of non-stop calls.       

140
00:06:56,849 --> 00:06:58,484
 [Andrew] I just got a customer 
           called up.           

141
00:06:58,484 --> 00:07:00,620
       He's got a B-train       
       loaded with steel.       

142
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:02,121
   Hopefully this is gonna be   
          a quick pull,         

143
00:07:02,121 --> 00:07:04,424
  because I don't want my guys  
hanging on the highway too long.

144
00:07:05,558 --> 00:07:06,692
            Whoo-hoo!           

145
00:07:06,692 --> 00:07:08,094
            Yee-hoo!            

146
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:11,330
  [Narrator] It's not the plan  
  Andrew made for this winter.  

147
00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:15,101
       He was supposed to       
      scale back his work.      

148
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:16,602
            [Andrew]            
     I'm trying to step back    

149
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:18,371
    and spend a bit more time   
         with my family.        

150
00:07:18,371 --> 00:07:19,205
        That's the plan,        

151
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:20,506
  but that doesn't always goes  

152
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:21,741
   the way you're hoping for.   

153
00:07:21,741 --> 00:07:25,578
   [Narrator] So Herb's Towing  
     senior op Bill Fell...     

154
00:07:25,578 --> 00:07:26,712
 We're trying to play catch-up. 

155
00:07:26,712 --> 00:07:28,214
  [Narrator] ...has been tasked 

156
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,450
   to take on a heavier load.   

157
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:31,551
       Pressure, pressure.      

158
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:33,219
        [Bill] Definitely       

159
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:35,087
           a big sense          
     of responsibility here.    

160
00:07:35,087 --> 00:07:38,024
          It is a lot,          
      but I can handle it.      

161
00:07:38,024 --> 00:07:39,425
            Got that?           

162
00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:42,061
        [Andrew] Bill is        
 the kind of guy that I rely on.

163
00:07:42,061 --> 00:07:43,596
     I couldn't do what I do    
          without Bill,         

164
00:07:43,596 --> 00:07:44,964
          by any means.         

165
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,334
            Perfect!            

166
00:07:49,368 --> 00:07:51,571
           [Narrator]           
   But on a night like this...  

167
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:53,739
          17-03, Bill,          

168
00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:56,275
      can I get you rolling     
         401 westbound?         

169
00:07:56,275 --> 00:07:58,411
           [Narrator]           
   ...no member of the crew...  

170
00:07:58,411 --> 00:08:00,079
    [Bill] Okay, sounds good.   

171
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:01,414
    [Narrator] ...stays home.   

172
00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:02,615
   [Andrew] Everybody's busy,   

173
00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:03,749
       tied up on the 401.      

174
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:05,418
       We're dealing with       
      an active snowstorm.      

175
00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:15,862
      [Narrator] A B-train      
     loaded with steel beams    

176
00:08:15,862 --> 00:08:20,833
       has slid right off       
       the westbound 401.       

177
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:24,036
       [Andrew and driver       
       speaking in French]      

178
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:25,605
    [Andrew] Driver's saying    

179
00:08:25,605 --> 00:08:27,440
 that the brakes fully locked up
         on the trailer,        

180
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,242
      and they just skidded     
     completely to the side.    

181
00:08:32,678 --> 00:08:35,414
      She's gonna be heavy.     

182
00:08:35,414 --> 00:08:39,385
           [Narrator]           
    Facing 130,000 pounds...    

183
00:08:39,385 --> 00:08:41,187
        Let's have a look       
      and see what we got.      

184
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:42,488
           [Narrator]           
      ...Bill needs to look     

185
00:08:42,488 --> 00:08:45,625
  for any extra complications.  

186
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:48,828
   Dolly legs are not hung up   
    on anything, that's good.   

187
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:51,531
       We should be okay.       

188
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,232
           [Narrator]           
      It will be up to Bill     

189
00:08:53,232 --> 00:08:55,001
   to pull the B-train forward  

190
00:08:55,001 --> 00:08:59,438
  and steer it out of the ditch 
       as fast as he can.       

191
00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:04,877
  The sooner we get outta here, 
           the better.          

192
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:08,080
    This is not a safe spot.    

193
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,250
      You have to have eyes     
    at every friggin' angle.    

194
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:14,887
        [Andrew] I've got       
      the pickup truck here     

195
00:09:14,887 --> 00:09:15,821
      with the arrow board.     

196
00:09:15,821 --> 00:09:16,856
     I'm going to give Bill     

197
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:18,090
         a bit of a safe        
      working area for him.     

198
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:22,662
              Okay.             

199
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:26,098
     Put my stabilizers down    
   so I can get a little bite.  

200
00:09:27,366 --> 00:09:28,968
              Okay!             

201
00:09:37,276 --> 00:09:38,844
   We're sliding a little bit.  

202
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:44,016
     [Bill] I start pulling     
        on this thing...        

203
00:09:44,016 --> 00:09:45,685
     It's not coming at all.    

204
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,922
         We're actually         
    pulling our truck to it.    

205
00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:51,724
     The ice is fighting us.    

206
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,461
   This thing was very heavy.   

207
00:09:56,696 --> 00:09:58,598
     Okay, change of plan...    

208
00:09:58,598 --> 00:09:59,865
     Just have a high line.     

209
00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:01,734
  We need to try and lift a bit 

210
00:10:01,734 --> 00:10:03,135
     to get some anchoring.     

211
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:04,470
              Yeah.             

212
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:05,538
       [Bill] I'm getting       
       a little frustrated      

213
00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:07,340
        that this thing's       
       not moving at all,       

214
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,908
    so we decided to re-rig,    

215
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:11,777
     try and do a high line.    

216
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:12,945
       See how that goes.       

217
00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:15,047
     Okay, just in neutral.     

218
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:30,596
          I'm not sure          
       what the force was,      

219
00:10:30,596 --> 00:10:32,131
 but I was giving it all I had. 

220
00:10:33,532 --> 00:10:34,734
          Whoa, Nelly.          

221
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:37,536
       This thing's doing       
         a wheelie, man!        

222
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:45,277
       There comes a point      
        where you decide        

223
00:10:45,277 --> 00:10:46,379
      whether to keep going     
           or to stop.          

224
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:49,615
             Holy...            

225
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:54,120
   It's... it's in there good.  

226
00:10:55,121 --> 00:10:58,090
    We need to rethink this.    

227
00:10:58,090 --> 00:10:59,158
           [groaning]           

228
00:11:07,633 --> 00:11:11,103
 [Narrator] On the westbound 401
        near Ingleside...       

229
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:13,739
       It's not a case of       
   it not being able to pull.   

230
00:11:13,739 --> 00:11:14,907
         She's pullin'.         

231
00:11:14,907 --> 00:11:16,442
           [Narrator]           
     ...Bill Fell's wrecker     

232
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:17,977
        is just no match        

233
00:11:17,977 --> 00:11:21,814
      for the 130,000-pound     
          steel hauler.         

234
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:23,416
     We just underestimated     
          that weight.          

235
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:25,518
 [Bill] There's a point in time 

236
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:27,153
    where you need to decide,   

237
00:11:27,153 --> 00:11:28,654
    "Do I get another truck,    

238
00:11:28,654 --> 00:11:30,823
    or do I break something?"   

239
00:11:30,823 --> 00:11:33,893
     [Narrator] Andrew needs    
      to call in a rotator.     

240
00:11:33,893 --> 00:11:36,762
     Hey, Kev, can you make     
   your way down to the shop?   

241
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:38,164
        I got no choice.        

242
00:11:38,164 --> 00:11:40,332
        I should have had       
        two trucks on it        

243
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:42,301
  the minute I called out Bill. 

244
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:44,270
         Live and learn.        

245
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:45,971
 You have to drive ahead, Bill. 

246
00:11:45,971 --> 00:11:47,673
          -Drive ahead?         
             -Yeah.             

247
00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:49,141
           [Narrator]           
      But while they wait,      

248
00:11:49,141 --> 00:11:51,811
  road conditions and traffic,  

249
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:54,080
     are only getting worse.    

250
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,981
   Pull on that drag, Dawson?   

251
00:11:56,816 --> 00:12:00,152
        [Bill] You know,        
 we're sitting here like ducks. 

252
00:12:00,152 --> 00:12:03,155
     We didn't wanna be here    
   any longer than we had to,   

253
00:12:03,155 --> 00:12:05,658
      so now we're waiting      
   for a second truck to come.  

254
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:08,027
       That's going to go       
       last set of duals,       

255
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:11,130
 run the single line to the pup.

256
00:12:12,531 --> 00:12:15,201
    There he is. There he is!   

257
00:12:17,703 --> 00:12:18,938
      [Andrew] Hey, Kevvo!      

258
00:12:18,938 --> 00:12:20,272
      [Kevin] Quick enough?     

259
00:12:20,272 --> 00:12:22,875
     [Narrator] By the time     
 new hire Kevin Lerman rolls up,

260
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:24,877
        the crew is ready       
        to finish rigging       

261
00:12:24,877 --> 00:12:27,480
     and get off this road.     

262
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,181
      Felt like the knight      
        in shining armour       

263
00:12:29,181 --> 00:12:32,251
           showing up           
   with the 50-tonne rotator.   

264
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:33,786
  So, what's the plan, Andrew?  

265
00:12:33,786 --> 00:12:37,223
  If you can take at least 15,  
  20,000 pounds off the front,  

266
00:12:37,223 --> 00:12:38,424
  I think she'll start moving.  

267
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:42,294
        [Narrator] Kevin        
  will winch from the front...  

268
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:43,329
           Keep going.          

269
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:46,232
           [Narrator]           
    ...while Andrew steps in.   

270
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:47,733
           We're good?          

271
00:12:47,733 --> 00:12:49,168
      Give 'er hell, boys.      

272
00:12:54,473 --> 00:12:56,876
        We had two trucks       
  and five lines on this thing. 

273
00:12:58,077 --> 00:12:59,745
     [Narrator] But fighting    
        this much weight,       

274
00:12:59,745 --> 00:13:03,048
 even that might not be enough. 

275
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:17,229
          It's coming.          

276
00:13:17,229 --> 00:13:19,565
   [Bill] Finally I see one of  
 those wheels starting to turn, 

277
00:13:19,565 --> 00:13:20,933
   and I'm like, "Thank God."   

278
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:31,510
     At least she's moving.     

279
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:48,060
         She's ours now.        

280
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:49,795
       Okay, let's unhook!      

281
00:13:49,795 --> 00:13:51,230
              Whoo!             

282
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:53,299
       Finally this thing       
      was back on the road,     

283
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:55,100
   and we could get our asses   
        off the highway.        

284
00:13:56,735 --> 00:13:58,938
     Victory is very sweet.     

285
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:00,639
         Good job, man.         

286
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,909
      I was definitely glad     
     to have this one done.     

287
00:14:03,909 --> 00:14:05,477
 [Narrator] The steel hauler... 

288
00:14:05,477 --> 00:14:06,612
          Okay, buddy.          

289
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:07,613
           Good luck!           

290
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:09,915
           [Narrator]           
     ...is back on its way.     

291
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:11,150
       [Andrew] No damage.      

292
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:12,751
       It's like this guy       
    never went in the ditch.    

293
00:14:14,653 --> 00:14:16,755
              Whoo!             

294
00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:17,656
            Whoo-hoo!           

295
00:14:19,992 --> 00:14:22,461
   [Narrator] It's a good end   
          to the night,         

296
00:14:22,461 --> 00:14:24,630
       but Andrew's plans       
      for more family time      

297
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:25,965
       will have to wait,       

298
00:14:25,965 --> 00:14:27,600
        at least for now.       

299
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,801
         Good job, boys.        

300
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,970
    It was a hell of a fight,   
    but let's get some rest.    

301
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:32,238
     We got a big day ahead     
         tomorrow, okay?        

302
00:14:32,238 --> 00:14:33,172
 [Bill] Got more work tomorrow. 

303
00:14:33,172 --> 00:14:34,340
      [Andrew] The boys did     
           a good job.          

304
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:35,341
            It's out,           

305
00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:36,508
    but I got a good feeling    

306
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:38,110
     we're not going to get     
     a lot of sleep tonight.    

307
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:39,111
       With this weather,       

308
00:14:39,111 --> 00:14:40,012
       there's definitely       
        going to be more        

309
00:14:40,012 --> 00:14:41,614
 waiting for us in the morning. 

310
00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:43,148
          Sounds good.          

311
00:14:43,148 --> 00:14:44,450
           Ciao, guys.          
       Have a good night.       

312
00:14:46,952 --> 00:14:48,320
       [honks horn twice]       

313
00:15:07,506 --> 00:15:09,541
      [Narrator] A new day      
    is dawning in Toronto...    

314
00:15:12,211 --> 00:15:15,881
   [Narrator] ...but the city   
       is still struggling      

315
00:15:15,881 --> 00:15:19,385
      through the aftermath     
     of the massive storm...    

316
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:27,826
           [Narrator]           
  ...and just east of downtown, 

317
00:15:27,826 --> 00:15:31,530
 there's still one major on-ramp
         that's blocked.        

318
00:15:33,198 --> 00:15:34,199
          [OPP officer]         
     This ramp's been closed    

319
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:36,335
          for probably          
     close to 24 hours now,     

320
00:15:36,335 --> 00:15:38,671
 and there's a lot of snow here.

321
00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:40,539
           [Narrator]           
     Constable John Hominsky    

322
00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:41,740
      has put out the call      

323
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:43,642
         to get it open.        

324
00:15:43,642 --> 00:15:45,210
  [John Hominsky] There's just  
      not enough tow trucks     

325
00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:46,812
for the vehicles that are stuck.

326
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:48,213
        They're all busy.       

327
00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:56,021
         Craziest storm         
  I have ever seen in my life.  

328
00:15:57,089 --> 00:15:58,023
     [Narrator] ...but help     

329
00:15:58,023 --> 00:16:00,059
     is finally on the way.     

330
00:16:00,059 --> 00:16:01,660
     At the Leslie and 401,     

331
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:03,095
   I'm gonna go help them out   

332
00:16:03,095 --> 00:16:05,197
        so that they can        
        open up the ramp.       

333
00:16:05,197 --> 00:16:07,933
     [Narrator] Sonny Subra     
   is starting the new winter   

334
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:09,335
       with a new company,      

335
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:10,703
           AZ Towing.           

336
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:13,872
   [Sonny] I'm really excited   
   about the future right now.  

337
00:16:13,872 --> 00:16:16,308
       [Narrator] The move      
     is already paying off.     

338
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:20,079
     [Sonny] I am basically     
 up to like 13, 14 hours a day. 

339
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:23,882
         Only problem is        
   I'm running a small truck.   

340
00:16:23,882 --> 00:16:27,386
     I have one drive axle,     
           like a car.          

341
00:16:27,386 --> 00:16:29,755
          It does slide         
      and stuff like that.      

342
00:16:29,755 --> 00:16:31,256
   It gets stuck in the snow.   

343
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:33,692
        [Narrator] ...but       
      with the Leslie ramp      

344
00:16:33,692 --> 00:16:36,228
  already blocked for 24 hours, 

345
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:39,765
    Sonny will do all he can    
          to clear it.          

346
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:41,266
       [Sonny] I'm trying       
         to prove myself        

347
00:16:41,266 --> 00:16:42,301
      with this small truck     

348
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:44,970
         I can get done         
      any job they give me.     

349
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:47,773
 [Narrator] The first challenge 

350
00:16:47,773 --> 00:16:50,309
        is just reversing       
         onto the scene.        

351
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:52,044
   [Sonny] I don't know about   
     the snow there, right?     

352
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:53,145
   I don't want to get stuck.   

353
00:16:53,145 --> 00:16:57,449
       With my single axle      
     in the this deep snow,     

354
00:16:57,449 --> 00:16:59,618
     it's really hard for me    
           to back up.          

355
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:01,954
        I'm going to try        
   and get close to that truck  

356
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:02,955
         to pull it out.        

357
00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:09,862
       Uh-oh, I'm sliding.      

358
00:17:18,437 --> 00:17:20,339
  I am stuck in the snow, man.  

359
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:24,143
   [Narrator] Sonny's wrecker   
    can't back up any closer.   

360
00:17:24,143 --> 00:17:26,645
 [Sonny] I can't winch him out! 

361
00:17:26,645 --> 00:17:30,349
  [Narrator] He'll have to pull 
 from right where he's stopped. 

362
00:17:30,349 --> 00:17:32,084
          I don't know          
     if I can get it done...    

363
00:17:35,487 --> 00:17:37,689
  [Sonny] ...but I'm gonna try, 

364
00:17:37,689 --> 00:17:39,625
    because I'm the only one    
      available right now.      

365
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:40,959
    You're going to pull out    
           this winch,          

366
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:42,795
       and then he's going      
         to help me out.        

367
00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:44,663
 [Narrator] Before he even tries

368
00:17:44,663 --> 00:17:46,832
             to pull            
   the straight truck free...   

369
00:17:46,832 --> 00:17:49,635
  [Sonny] Put the snatch block  
           over there.          

370
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:51,470
    [Narrator] ...Sonny needs   
      to straighten it out      

371
00:17:51,470 --> 00:17:53,705
  and nudge it into the middle  
          of the ramp.          

372
00:17:53,705 --> 00:17:56,308
    I'm using this guardrail    
        to get an angle.        

373
00:17:56,308 --> 00:17:59,144
     Hopefully I don't break    
         anything here.         

374
00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:00,712
  [Sonny] There's no other way, 

375
00:18:00,712 --> 00:18:02,481
      rather than I put it      
        on the guardrail.       

376
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:04,183
    Then I can pull straight.   

377
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:05,651
           You ready?           

378
00:18:12,891 --> 00:18:14,726
        It's coming out!        

379
00:18:20,332 --> 00:18:22,000
           Okay, stop!          

380
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,869
        Good, good, good.       

381
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:27,139
     [Narrator] Now he needs    
 to tow the truck off the ramp. 

382
00:18:27,139 --> 00:18:31,643
   Yeah, we, straighted it up,  
         which is good.         

383
00:18:37,216 --> 00:18:38,550
            Uh-oh...            

384
00:18:40,352 --> 00:18:43,155
 [Sonny] My truck is not moving.

385
00:18:43,155 --> 00:18:46,592
      I don't know if I can     
     get out from this ramp.    

386
00:18:46,592 --> 00:18:48,227
             Stuck!             

387
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:51,263
           I am stuck.          

388
00:18:51,263 --> 00:18:52,531
      [Sonny] I don't want      
     to go back to the OPP,     

389
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:55,033
and tell them, like, "I'm stuck.

390
00:18:55,033 --> 00:18:56,468
   I need another tow truck."   

391
00:18:56,468 --> 00:18:58,904
           Oh, my god.          

392
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:00,405
  I don't want to fail on this. 

393
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:11,683
           [Narrator]           
     On the 401 at Leslie...    

394
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:14,086
  I don't want to fail on this. 

395
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:16,121
           [Narrator]           
   ...Sonny's plan to open up   

396
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:18,290
      the last blocked ramp     
           in the city          

397
00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:20,125
        is going nowhere.       

398
00:19:20,125 --> 00:19:21,426
     [Sonny] I'm stuck here.    

399
00:19:21,426 --> 00:19:23,262
  I had to come up with a plan. 

400
00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:24,730
     [Narrator] Once again,     

401
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,533
   he's betting the guardrail   
      can offer some help.      

402
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:29,368
      Okay, let's do this.      

403
00:19:29,368 --> 00:19:31,303
       Snatch block here.       

404
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,274
        I'm gonna hook up       
         the winch line         

405
00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:36,141
   straight to the guardrail.   

406
00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:40,979
    I'm gonna slide my truck    
         to the centre,         

407
00:19:40,979 --> 00:19:42,581
 and then hope for the traction.

408
00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:44,616
          You gotta do          
       what you gotta do.       

409
00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:46,185
           [Narrator]           
     The move worked earlier    

410
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:47,319
       on the small truck,      

411
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:49,488
    but that's no guarantee.    

412
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:51,256
             [Sonny]            
   If this works, this works.   

413
00:19:51,256 --> 00:19:53,392
       If it doesn't work,      
          I'm screwed.          

414
00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:09,308
        It's coming out.        

415
00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:10,509
            Awesome.            

416
00:20:11,743 --> 00:20:15,247
       [Sonny] Now back to      
      the starting problem.     

417
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:17,449
        Now I have to get       
    this truck off the ramp.    

418
00:20:18,984 --> 00:20:20,485
       It's a lot of snow.      

419
00:20:24,323 --> 00:20:25,324
            Let's go.           

420
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:29,995
            Awesome.            

421
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:37,469
         I got traction,        
    so I had to keep moving.    

422
00:20:47,613 --> 00:20:50,582
       [Narrator] Sonny's       
      opened up enough room     

423
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:52,184
  to clear some of the snow...  

424
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:54,653
    [John] The MTO showed up    
         with a loader,         

425
00:20:54,653 --> 00:20:57,189
    and they started to clear   
  the snow away from that ramp. 

426
00:20:58,056 --> 00:20:59,458
    [Narrator] ...and another   
        company's wrecker       

427
00:20:59,458 --> 00:21:02,561
   is able to reach the trucks  
     at the top of the ramp.    

428
00:21:06,298 --> 00:21:07,699
            [honking]           

429
00:21:07,699 --> 00:21:08,800
         We got it done!        

430
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,735
           Thank God.           

431
00:21:10,836 --> 00:21:12,838
     [Sonny] I got it done.     

432
00:21:12,838 --> 00:21:14,740
  This ramp is going to be open 
           very soon.           

433
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:18,543
       [Narrator] The last      
     blocked ramp in Toronto    

434
00:21:18,543 --> 00:21:20,646
         is open again.         

435
00:21:20,646 --> 00:21:22,714
       [traffic news radio]     
      Pretty major progress,    

436
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:26,218
    on ramps finally reopened   
     following that blizzard.   

437
00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:29,721
   [Narrator] There are still   
    days of cleanup ahead...    

438
00:21:32,991 --> 00:21:36,194
 [Narrator] ...but as this storm
  moves into the record books,  

439
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:40,565
     traffic is also moving     
      all across the city.      

440
00:22:07,626 --> 00:22:10,362
           [Narrator]           
    400 kilometres southwest,   

441
00:22:10,362 --> 00:22:12,464
   the western end of the 401   

442
00:22:12,464 --> 00:22:15,634
          is recovering         
from an overnight blast of snow.

443
00:22:15,634 --> 00:22:17,936
   [Eric Godard] Senior and I   
       were out last night      

444
00:22:17,936 --> 00:22:20,872
    doing a couple recoveries   
            as well,            

445
00:22:20,872 --> 00:22:23,775
and the roads just progressively
      got worse and worse,      

446
00:22:23,775 --> 00:22:25,210
   and then finally, you know,  

447
00:22:25,210 --> 00:22:29,081
 the OPP have decided not to let
   anybody pull anything out.   

448
00:22:30,082 --> 00:22:32,250
    [Narrator] It's the start   
     of another long winter     

449
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:36,822
   for County/Coxon rotator op  
          Eric Godard,          

450
00:22:36,822 --> 00:22:39,291
     a winter he came close     
           to missing.          

451
00:22:39,291 --> 00:22:41,960
    Last year, I was thinking   
      about packing it in.      

452
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,462
       I didn't even know       
   if I'd be here this winter.  

453
00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:45,130
      Physically, I just...     

454
00:22:45,130 --> 00:22:47,733
      I've been struggling.     

455
00:22:47,733 --> 00:22:49,000
 You know, and this winter here,

456
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,937
       I am excited about       
    a lot of the new changes.   

457
00:22:53,138 --> 00:22:54,673
    [Narrator] One big change   

458
00:22:54,673 --> 00:22:56,675
    that helped coax him away   
     from early retirement,     

459
00:22:56,675 --> 00:23:00,946
a chance to handle the new pride
      of the County fleet.      

460
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:02,948
        We got Big Orange       
     out for the first time     

461
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:03,982
     on some recovery work.     

462
00:23:05,851 --> 00:23:06,752
       [Derek Didone Sr.]       
     She should be a beast.     

463
00:23:08,253 --> 00:23:11,189
           [Narrator]           
     All spring and summer,     

464
00:23:11,189 --> 00:23:13,158
  Derek Didone Sr. and his crew 

465
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:16,194
         worked to build        
       the custom machine.      

466
00:23:16,194 --> 00:23:18,130
  [Eric] Pretty much everybody  

467
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:19,131
        at our facility,        

468
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:20,599
      in some way, somehow      
          was involved.         

469
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,200
           [Narrator]           
   ...and just a month ago...   

470
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,436
      [Senior] Have a look      
  and see what you guys think.  

471
00:23:24,436 --> 00:23:28,206
    [Narrator] ...Big Orange    
  was ready to make its debut.  

472
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:30,509
           [applause]           

473
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:33,145
     [Senior] I'm very happy    
   with the way it turned out.  

474
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:35,480
   It's just going to bring us  
        to another level        

475
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,349
     in the recovery world.     

476
00:23:37,349 --> 00:23:40,018
      [Eric] I wouldn't say     
 Big Orange is a deciding factor

477
00:23:40,018 --> 00:23:43,722
  of whether I stay or retire,  
          or anything,          

478
00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:46,224
  but is it one of those things 
 that excites me about staying? 

479
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:48,160
           Absolutely.          

480
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:52,731
   I'm really looking forward   

481
00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:54,299
     to actually putting it     
       through the motions      

482
00:23:54,299 --> 00:23:55,600
   on the side of the highway,  

483
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,136
       but just being new       
         with the truck,        

484
00:23:58,136 --> 00:23:59,838
  and to be completely honest,  

485
00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:00,906
it's making me a little nervous.

486
00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:04,910
  [Narrator] As Eric rolls east 
   of Windsor into Lakeshore,   

487
00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:08,914
 he's heading toward a big test 
      for the big truck...      

488
00:24:08,914 --> 00:24:10,849
    [Eric] We're dealing with   
        a tractor-trailer       

489
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:12,918
       that's fully loaded      
        with auto parts.        

490
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:15,187
           [Narrator]           
  ...but it will also be a test 

491
00:24:15,187 --> 00:24:17,222
   for Big Orange's operator.   

492
00:24:17,222 --> 00:24:18,757
      [Eric] The truth is,      

493
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:20,926
         the only reason        
      I'm not retiring yet      

494
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:23,094
     is because I don't hate    
           what I do.           

495
00:24:23,094 --> 00:24:24,196
         I'm fortunate.         

496
00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:26,231
       I wake up every day      
       and love what I do,      

497
00:24:26,231 --> 00:24:27,599
so I wish I did hate what I did,

498
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:29,901
 and it'd be a whole lot easier 
           on my body.          

499
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:39,044
   We'll just see what I got.   

500
00:24:39,945 --> 00:24:41,446
    He's right in that ditch.   

501
00:24:41,446 --> 00:24:42,581
       He's definitely...       

502
00:24:42,581 --> 00:24:45,350
        we call this one        
    "stuck in the pickings."    

503
00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:48,119
   The front end of the truck   
       is just demolished,      

504
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,122
    so there'll definitely be   
       no driving it away.      

505
00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:53,391
  [Narrator] The eastbound semi 

506
00:24:53,391 --> 00:24:56,061
      hauling 40,000 pounds     

507
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:58,597
    lost control in the snow,   

508
00:24:58,597 --> 00:25:00,465
    slammed into the median,    

509
00:25:00,465 --> 00:25:02,534
 and bounced across the highway.

510
00:25:07,205 --> 00:25:10,108
         Before the crew        
      can even get started,     

511
00:25:10,108 --> 00:25:11,977
        there's an issue.       

512
00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:13,078
      We're waiting to see      

513
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:15,080
  what kind of traffic control  
           we can get.          

514
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,648
  We may need a lane for this.  

515
00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:19,751
   So MTO said a couple hours   
    for a crash truck, so...    

516
00:25:19,751 --> 00:25:20,719
              Yeah.             

517
00:25:20,719 --> 00:25:22,287
           [Narrator]           
      Without a crash truck     

518
00:25:22,287 --> 00:25:24,256
       to protect the crew      
          from traffic,         

519
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:26,658
  they can't close down a lane. 

520
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:27,926
 [Eric] They don't want to have 
        anybody out there       

521
00:25:27,926 --> 00:25:29,828
 unless they have a crash truck,

522
00:25:29,828 --> 00:25:31,663
       but the crash truck      
       is two hours away.       

523
00:25:31,663 --> 00:25:32,797
    Well, if that's the case,   

524
00:25:32,797 --> 00:25:34,733
 can we bring it up to the road,
         then, at least?        

525
00:25:34,733 --> 00:25:36,001
     We may as well, right?     
             -Yeah.             

526
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:38,470
      [Narrator] With more      
     bad weather on the way,    

527
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:40,772
  Eric doesn't want any delays. 

528
00:25:40,772 --> 00:25:42,674
         [Eric] I've got        
 the option of waiting two hours

529
00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:44,109
       for a crash truck,       

530
00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:45,610
      or change my plan up      
          a little bit          

531
00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:47,779
          and just work         
       off the shoulders.       

532
00:25:47,779 --> 00:25:49,080
     Are we okay to do that?    

533
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,015
             -Yeah.             
  -If we stay on the shoulder?  

534
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:51,182
              Yeah.             

535
00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:52,817
      [Narrator] It will be     
     a tight space to work,     

536
00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:56,454
       and severely limit       
   how they approach the job.   

537
00:25:56,454 --> 00:25:58,523
    [Eric] If I had the lane,   
         like I wanted,         

538
00:25:58,523 --> 00:26:00,158
        this job would be       
       a whole lot safer.       

539
00:26:00,158 --> 00:26:01,493
    They said we can go ahead   
         and work on it         

540
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:04,696
    as long as we don't cross   
   the solid white line there.  

541
00:26:06,264 --> 00:26:08,433
   [Narrator] Working together  
       with Daren Didone,       

542
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:11,770
 Eric will try to pull the semi 
        onto the shoulder       

543
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:15,340
       while staying clear      
        of the live lane.       

544
00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:18,310
      Then, they'll spin it     
          right around.         

545
00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:24,649
     [Eric] Gonna grab right    
   at the base of the trailer.  

546
00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:26,518
     Grab a couple of holes,    

547
00:26:26,518 --> 00:26:28,687
    right in the main plate.    

548
00:26:28,687 --> 00:26:30,789
   It's probably the strongest  
      part of the trailer.      

549
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:33,992
      Dennis is coming in.      

550
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:37,162
 It's good to have a third guy, 
       help us pull lines.      

551
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:41,199
          Hey, Dennis!          

552
00:26:41,199 --> 00:26:43,368
     The truck's destroyed,     
      there's no air in it.     

553
00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:44,970
         [Dennis Didone]        
       Looking at the job,      

554
00:26:44,970 --> 00:26:46,304
  it's going to be a tough one. 

555
00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:49,507
  One of the biggest challenges 

556
00:26:49,507 --> 00:26:51,343
      we're gonna have here     
         for Big Orange         

557
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:52,844
   is just the ground, right?   

558
00:26:52,844 --> 00:26:54,713
         [Eric] I've got        
        Big Orange set up       

559
00:26:54,713 --> 00:26:56,948
with the outriggers on the grass
         and the gravel.        

560
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:58,249
    If the ground gives away,   

561
00:26:58,249 --> 00:26:59,751
    the truck will literally    
           roll over.           

562
00:26:59,751 --> 00:27:02,420
          Hey, Dennis,          
    watch these legs, buddy.    

563
00:27:02,420 --> 00:27:03,688
     [Eric] That's gonna be     
          a phone call          

564
00:27:03,688 --> 00:27:05,357
I do not want to make to Senior.

565
00:27:07,058 --> 00:27:08,360
          I won't lie,          

566
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,227
    I'm a little bit nervous    
            about it.           

567
00:27:10,061 --> 00:27:11,096
             Daren!             

568
00:27:11,096 --> 00:27:12,597
      I'm going to go slow.     

569
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:14,232
    I'm going to try to watch   
  and see what yours is doing.  

570
00:27:20,538 --> 00:27:23,541
        Daren, am I good?       

571
00:27:24,943 --> 00:27:28,380
 [Narrator] On a narrow shoulder
    of the 401 in Lakeshore,    

572
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:31,549
      a new wave of weather     
         is blowing in.         

573
00:27:31,549 --> 00:27:34,552
  [Eric] We've had an extremely 
  bad storm come through here,  

574
00:27:34,552 --> 00:27:36,454
   and now it's getting ready   
   to start picking up again.   

575
00:27:38,289 --> 00:27:39,724
              Hey!              

576
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:42,694
      We're gonna go until      
 that thing is on the shoulder! 

577
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:45,997
         Here it comes.         

578
00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:51,569
    [Narrator] It's the storm   
    Eric was racing to miss,    

579
00:27:51,569 --> 00:27:53,371
       and to avoid delay,      

580
00:27:53,371 --> 00:27:56,641
       the crew is working      
       from the shoulder.       

581
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:04,983
         [Eric] Dennis!         

582
00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:06,217
               Yo!              

583
00:28:06,217 --> 00:28:07,585
          Where we at?          

584
00:28:07,585 --> 00:28:08,553
     About maybe that much.     

585
00:28:08,553 --> 00:28:10,588
   That's about good, I think.  

586
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:14,426
 [Eric] Daren, I need you here! 

587
00:28:14,426 --> 00:28:16,661
  We'll probably grab the rim,  
          the back rim.         

588
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:17,729
              Okay.             

589
00:28:17,729 --> 00:28:19,597
         I'm gonna swing        
      over the cab, right,      

590
00:28:19,597 --> 00:28:20,765
       and try to grab it,      

591
00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:21,833
       and see if I can't       
         bring it to me.        

592
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,068
              Okay.             

593
00:28:23,068 --> 00:28:25,737
    [Narrator] They now need    
   to spin the trailer around,  

594
00:28:25,737 --> 00:28:28,173
       but they don't have      
       much room to spare.      

595
00:28:28,173 --> 00:28:30,375
   [Eric] The biggest problem   
          we face here          

596
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:31,776
  is gonna be getting the thing 

597
00:28:31,776 --> 00:28:33,344
      up onto the shoulder      
           of the road          

598
00:28:33,344 --> 00:28:35,447
         without letting        
      any of the equipment      

599
00:28:35,447 --> 00:28:38,283
  or the tractor-trailer end up 
   on the roadway at any time.  

600
00:28:38,283 --> 00:28:41,553
        [Narrator] ...and       
 the soft ground of the shoulder

601
00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:43,922
  is another big question mark. 

602
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:45,890
  [Eric] Not only am I learning 
          a new truck,          

603
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:47,192
     but now I gotta predict    

604
00:28:47,192 --> 00:28:49,027
how the ground is going to react
    as well underneath of it.   

605
00:28:50,128 --> 00:28:51,463
    No time like the present    

606
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:53,631
          to figure out         
     what she's gonna pull.     

607
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:56,835
           Okay, start          
     walking 'er if you can.    

608
00:29:01,606 --> 00:29:02,907
             [Daren]            
    You want me to bring this   

609
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:04,442
  as close as I can to me, eh?  

610
00:29:04,442 --> 00:29:05,977
           [Eric] Yup.          
  Close to the road as you can. 

611
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:07,312
       [Daren] All right.       

612
00:29:07,312 --> 00:29:10,448
  [Eric] If the ground caves in 
    on that side of the truck   

613
00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:12,650
       while I'm reaching       
          over the cab,         

614
00:29:12,650 --> 00:29:14,285
     we will literally lose     
           Big Orange.          

615
00:29:14,285 --> 00:29:16,955
      Becomes a really big      
   paperweight at that point.   

616
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:19,557
       Nice and easy, now.      

617
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:25,730
     This thing is a beast.     

618
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:31,669
 [Narrator] So far, the rotator 
 is holding steady on the grass.

619
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:38,910
           [Narrator]           
     ...but Daren's wrecker     

620
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:40,445
    is starting to struggle.    

621
00:29:44,682 --> 00:29:46,618
        [Daren] My truck        
      is a straight stick.      

622
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:48,853
     It's meant for pulling     
       right off the back.      

623
00:29:48,853 --> 00:29:51,856
      A side pull like that     
        causes problems.        

624
00:29:51,856 --> 00:29:55,794
  I can see your legs from here 
   got a big old tilt on 'em.   

625
00:30:04,169 --> 00:30:05,503
   He's done. He can't do it.   

626
00:30:05,503 --> 00:30:07,505
          -Hey, Daren!          
             -Yeah?             

627
00:30:07,505 --> 00:30:09,040
    You want to position you    
  so you can get a better pull? 

628
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,308
              Yeah.             

629
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:13,011
   I try not to pull too much   
        on the side here.       

630
00:30:13,011 --> 00:30:15,580
   If I had the whole highway,  
    this is a 15-minute job,    

631
00:30:15,580 --> 00:30:17,515
    but we gave them our word   

632
00:30:17,515 --> 00:30:19,984
     that we would in no way    
     impede on the roadway.     

633
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:22,720
 [Narrator] So without crossing 
          into traffic,         

634
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,623
    the best they can manage    
      is a minor adjustment     

635
00:30:25,623 --> 00:30:26,958
      for Daren's wrecker.      

636
00:30:26,958 --> 00:30:28,827
     [Eric] I think you need    
  to put your ass end in here.  

637
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:29,727
              Yeah.             

638
00:30:29,727 --> 00:30:31,029
    Get a little straighter.    

639
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:33,097
 Literally it's a game of inches

640
00:30:33,097 --> 00:30:34,699
    trying to keep this thing   
        off the highway.        

641
00:30:37,001 --> 00:30:39,037
    Keep coming, keep coming.   

642
00:30:39,037 --> 00:30:40,839
           Stop, stop!          

643
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:43,908
   I'm going to snug up here.   

644
00:30:43,908 --> 00:30:45,743
     [Eric] Yeah, let's see     
       if it'll pull her.       

645
00:30:45,743 --> 00:30:47,078
         I'm getting it.        

646
00:30:49,581 --> 00:30:51,382
        [Daren] Oh, yeah,       
     that's a little better.    

647
00:30:51,382 --> 00:30:52,750
          [Eric] Okay.          

648
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:54,519
    [Daren] I'm just spinning   
  the tractor right around now. 

649
00:30:58,756 --> 00:30:59,757
         Is she coming?         

650
00:30:59,757 --> 00:31:01,226
       Yeah, it's coming.       

651
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:05,730
     Am I moving the trailer    
            back end?           

652
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:08,199
          Yeah, you're          
     backing up the trailer.    

653
00:31:12,036 --> 00:31:14,005
     [Narrator] As the semi     
        straightens out,        

654
00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:17,275
 Daren's angle has less effect. 

655
00:31:17,275 --> 00:31:19,844
  [Daren] Uh, I'm going to come 
     to a point here shortly    

656
00:31:19,844 --> 00:31:21,012
       where I don't think      
          I'll do much.         

657
00:31:21,012 --> 00:31:22,847
        Yeah, I'm just...       

658
00:31:22,847 --> 00:31:24,849
        I'm going to get        
    a lot of resistance here.   

659
00:31:24,849 --> 00:31:26,451
      What, are you saying      
          you're done?          

660
00:31:26,451 --> 00:31:28,286
    Yeah, I'm done here now.    

661
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:30,054
           [Narrator]           
    That puts all the weight    

662
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:32,123
            on Eric.            

663
00:31:32,123 --> 00:31:32,957
          [Eric] Uh...          

664
00:31:32,957 --> 00:31:34,726
    That truck is maxed out.    

665
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:36,694
    We can't pull it anymore.   

666
00:31:49,941 --> 00:31:51,910
           These roads          
    are absolutely terrible.    

667
00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:54,712
    [Narrator] At the far end   
           of the 401,          

668
00:31:54,712 --> 00:31:58,182
  Andrew is back on the clock,  
        and on the move.        

669
00:31:58,182 --> 00:32:00,285
       [Andrew] We've got       
a milk tanker that's rolled over

670
00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:01,419
         in pretty much         
     the middle of nowhere.     

671
00:32:01,419 --> 00:32:03,154
  [Narrator] Still cleaning up  

672
00:32:03,154 --> 00:32:04,756
      after the big storm,      

673
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:05,990
       he's heading north       

674
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:07,992
 to the village of Chesterville.

675
00:32:07,992 --> 00:32:09,861
            [Andrew]            
      Small township roads,     

676
00:32:09,861 --> 00:32:11,296
        no room to work.        

677
00:32:11,296 --> 00:32:13,598
   Yeah, I'm a little nervous   
          for this one.         

678
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:23,007
     She's seen better days.    

679
00:32:23,007 --> 00:32:26,444
      We got a milk tanker      
   that's sitting on her side.  

680
00:32:26,444 --> 00:32:29,414
 Loaded with 30,000 KGs of milk.

681
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:30,315
             Lovely.            

682
00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:34,686
    Liquid is one of the most   
   tricky loads to work with.   

683
00:32:34,686 --> 00:32:35,753
      It's not going to be      
          an easy one,          

684
00:32:35,753 --> 00:32:37,088
     let's put it that way.     

685
00:32:38,723 --> 00:32:40,758
     [Narrator] So Andrew's     
            called in           

686
00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:43,227
       all the heavy iron       
       he has available...      

687
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:46,331
            Oh, yeah!           

688
00:32:46,331 --> 00:32:48,433
      Should be a fun day!      

689
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:51,669
  [Narrator] Bill will operate  
      the 80-tonne rotator.     

690
00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:54,372
      This is a very heavy,     
           tricky pull          

691
00:32:54,372 --> 00:32:55,873
     in a very tight space.     

692
00:32:57,041 --> 00:32:59,877
   [Narrator] ...and recently   
    promoted heavy op Kris...   

693
00:32:59,877 --> 00:33:02,880
          Snow's deep,          
     should be quite a pull.    

694
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,949
           [Narrator]           
    ...will run the 50-tonne.   

695
00:33:04,949 --> 00:33:06,184
       I'm still learning,      

696
00:33:06,184 --> 00:33:08,987
          so hopefully          
      everything goes well.     

697
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:10,154
     [Andrew] Okay, so Bill,    

698
00:33:10,154 --> 00:33:11,723
          I'll get you          
  to take care of the ass end.  

699
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:13,157
           All righty.          

700
00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:19,497
   Okay, so we're going to try  
      to upright this thing     

701
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:20,398
     without running a strap    

702
00:33:20,398 --> 00:33:21,733
   or running any high lines.   

703
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:25,236
     [Narrator] They'll rig     
       from both rotators       

704
00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:29,173
        to pull downward        
       on multiple lines,       

705
00:33:29,173 --> 00:33:32,643
    forcing the tanker upward   
        onto its wheels.        

706
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:37,181
       Bill, keep constant      
        on the auxiliary,       

707
00:33:37,181 --> 00:33:38,750
   or else he's going to grab   
         all the brunt.         

708
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,685
           [Narrator]           
      But the load of milk,     

709
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:43,354
             moving             
   and sloshing around inside,  

710
00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:45,790
 will fight against their pull. 

711
00:33:45,790 --> 00:33:48,259
 [Andrew] I'm not too confident,
      to be honest with ya.     

712
00:33:48,259 --> 00:33:49,193
         I'm gonna try.         

713
00:33:49,193 --> 00:33:51,229
 All right, boys, it's go time. 

714
00:33:57,835 --> 00:34:00,104
           Keep going.          

715
00:34:03,941 --> 00:34:05,943
          Okay, torque          
     on the front end, Kris.    

716
00:34:05,943 --> 00:34:08,446
   Watch out, she might slide.  

717
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:10,481
 If she slides, she might roll. 

718
00:34:10,481 --> 00:34:12,683
  [Andrew] The margin for error 
          is very slim,         

719
00:34:12,683 --> 00:34:15,720
    'cause if the truck does    
  move sideways or does shift,  

720
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:16,888
       you've got no room.      

721
00:34:22,293 --> 00:34:26,064
    I'm seeing Kris's rotator   
   sliding towards the wreck,   

722
00:34:26,064 --> 00:34:27,565
   and I'm thinking to myself,  
       "This isn't good."       

723
00:34:31,035 --> 00:34:33,304
             -Whoa!             
          -Stop, stop!          

724
00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:40,978
   [Eric] We had good weather   
        when we started.        

725
00:34:40,978 --> 00:34:42,413
          It's starting         
       to go sideways now.      

726
00:34:43,481 --> 00:34:47,151
 [Narrator] On a gusty shoulder 
     just east of Windsor...    

727
00:34:47,151 --> 00:34:50,354
    Temperature is dropping,    
       wind's picking up.       

728
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:54,859
  [Narrator] ...the County crew 
       is rushing to rerig      

729
00:34:54,859 --> 00:34:57,695
       ahead of the worst       
     of the incoming storm.     

730
00:34:57,695 --> 00:35:00,198
  Use the snatch block, Ethan.  

731
00:35:00,198 --> 00:35:02,467
   So Daren's truck is really   
          at its limits         

732
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:03,401
      pulling off the side,     

733
00:35:03,401 --> 00:35:04,836
         so I've decided        

734
00:35:04,836 --> 00:35:06,471
         I'm just gonna         
       jump in the front,       

735
00:35:06,471 --> 00:35:08,506
    and I'm gonna take it out   
        with Big Orange.        

736
00:35:09,707 --> 00:35:11,342
          -Is he good?          
           -He's good.          

737
00:35:11,342 --> 00:35:14,112
  Let's see if it'll pull her.  

738
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:16,614
           [Narrator]           
    Pulling all 60,000 pounds   

739
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:17,648
        up the steep bank       

740
00:35:17,648 --> 00:35:20,818
  rests on a brand-new rotator  

741
00:35:20,818 --> 00:35:24,355
        and the old hand        
        at its controls.        

742
00:35:24,355 --> 00:35:26,991
             [Eric]             
   She's in there pretty good.  

743
00:35:38,202 --> 00:35:41,806
       Okay, here we come.      

744
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,241
    [Eric] My biggest concern   

745
00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:45,476
     is keeping the trailer     
           standing up          

746
00:35:45,476 --> 00:35:47,178
      when we bring it out      
         onto the bank.         

747
00:35:47,178 --> 00:35:48,846
  There's a big question mark,  

748
00:35:48,846 --> 00:35:49,747
       and question marks       
        in this business        

749
00:35:49,747 --> 00:35:51,182
  get you in a lot of trouble.  

750
00:35:51,182 --> 00:35:53,985
    [creaking and squeaking]    

751
00:35:55,419 --> 00:35:56,487
     [Eric] Truck's too new.    

752
00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:57,722
I don't know all the sounds yet,

753
00:35:57,722 --> 00:36:01,459
    and I don't want to hear    
   any ones that don't belong.  

754
00:36:03,227 --> 00:36:05,596
       [Narrator] Now that      
      the semi is so close,     

755
00:36:05,596 --> 00:36:07,865
   and Eric is forced to pull   
       from the shoulder,       

756
00:36:07,865 --> 00:36:12,170
    there's no room to angle    
      his boom to the side.     

757
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:15,072
             Dennis,            
    what are you pointing at?   

758
00:36:15,072 --> 00:36:18,276
    Uh, you are just getting    
  a lot of twist on that boom.  

759
00:36:18,276 --> 00:36:19,443
    [Narrator] It's too much,   

760
00:36:19,443 --> 00:36:21,746
     even for Big Orange...     

761
00:36:21,746 --> 00:36:23,080
      [Eric] Oh, the whole      
        truck's leaning.        

762
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,549
         [Dennis] Yeah,         
     the whole middle rack.     

763
00:36:24,549 --> 00:36:27,451
           [Narrator]           
 ...but the veteran has a plan. 

764
00:36:27,451 --> 00:36:29,220
   [Eric] Let's run the boom,   
          the big drag.         

765
00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:31,022
 Get that van back up on the... 

766
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:32,557
         [Dennis] Okay.         

767
00:36:32,557 --> 00:36:34,058
    [Narrator] Eric's banking   

768
00:36:34,058 --> 00:36:36,594
     that the extra low line    
       from the drag winch      

769
00:36:36,594 --> 00:36:39,430
     can take some pressure     
        off of his boom.        

770
00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:41,032
      Are we good, Dennis?      

771
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:42,300
            Yes, sir!           

772
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:45,236
    Look at all this rigging.   
     Looks like Spider-Man.     

773
00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:47,838
     [Eric] I'm still trying    
          to figure out         

774
00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:49,240
     all the damn controls.     

775
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,075
     Daren, come over here.     

776
00:36:51,075 --> 00:36:52,610
        Pull the yellow.        

777
00:36:52,610 --> 00:36:54,111
             [Daren]            
    Run out of hands, are ya?   

778
00:37:00,218 --> 00:37:02,286
     Just slow, slow, slow.     

779
00:37:02,286 --> 00:37:03,955
         Just nurse it.         

780
00:37:08,125 --> 00:37:09,961
Okay, stop, let me catch up with
         the other line.        

781
00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:12,897
          Two operators         
      working three cables.     

782
00:37:14,565 --> 00:37:15,600
             -Pull!             
             -Yeah.             

783
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,468
  Get on it, buddy, get on 'er! 

784
00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:23,374
    Okay, hold on, just hold,   
     I'll bring it around...    

785
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:27,478
       ...and there we go.      

786
00:37:27,478 --> 00:37:28,512
       We got 'em, buddy.       

787
00:37:30,615 --> 00:37:33,317
        Hey, to hell with       
         closing a lane!        

788
00:37:34,518 --> 00:37:36,454
         Everybody safe,        
  we're going to pull him out!  

789
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:43,961
      Mission accomplished,     
        no harm, no foul.       

790
00:37:43,961 --> 00:37:46,297
        Big Orange really       
    strutted 'er stuff there.   

791
00:37:46,297 --> 00:37:47,698
     It worked really well.     

792
00:37:48,699 --> 00:37:51,102
     [Narrator] A solid win     
        for the new truck       

793
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:53,838
    starting its first winter   
          on the road,          

794
00:37:53,838 --> 00:37:58,509
       and for an operator      
     facing one of his last.    

795
00:37:58,509 --> 00:38:01,679
    [Eric] I think Big Orange   
        is going to last.       

796
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:03,281
  It'll definitely outlast me,  

797
00:38:03,281 --> 00:38:07,451
      and I think that with     
 two rotators now in the fleet, 

798
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:09,687
         especially one         
     the size of Big Orange,    

799
00:38:09,687 --> 00:38:12,156
    it's going to be a legacy   
          for the sons,         

800
00:38:12,156 --> 00:38:13,491
   and probably the grandkids.  

801
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:15,559
             Dennis!            

802
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:18,162
         Thank you, sir!        

803
00:38:18,162 --> 00:38:20,097
  It was really nice to see it  
          perform well,         

804
00:38:20,097 --> 00:38:21,999
          and everybody         
      worked well with it.      

805
00:38:38,182 --> 00:38:40,885
    [Bill] Down, down, down.    

806
00:38:40,885 --> 00:38:43,688
   [Narrator] On the back road  
       in Chesterville...       

807
00:38:43,688 --> 00:38:46,057
 Sliding was just an indication 

808
00:38:46,057 --> 00:38:47,692
          that we were          
      walking into trouble.     

809
00:38:48,859 --> 00:38:50,428
          Look at that!         

810
00:38:50,428 --> 00:38:51,495
            [laughs]            

811
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:52,730
            Love it!            

812
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:54,098
           [Narrator]           
     ...Andrew and his crew     

813
00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:55,933
    have used the outriggers    

814
00:38:55,933 --> 00:38:59,670
   to ease the sliding wrecker  
       back into position.      

815
00:38:59,670 --> 00:39:02,440
    There's just a quick fix    
        to a big problem.       

816
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,774
           [Narrator]           
...but if they're going to budge

817
00:39:03,774 --> 00:39:04,742
        the milk tanker,        

818
00:39:04,742 --> 00:39:07,445
    they need better footing.   

819
00:39:07,445 --> 00:39:09,413
        Austin, you gonna       
         grab a shovel,         

820
00:39:09,413 --> 00:39:11,048
      either on this truck,     
    I want right underneath,    

821
00:39:11,048 --> 00:39:13,250
       right to the gravel      
         on this spade.         

822
00:39:18,255 --> 00:39:20,458
We'll pull a little bit more and
       see where it goes.       

823
00:39:20,458 --> 00:39:22,360
              Okay.             

824
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,227
             Ready?             

825
00:39:23,227 --> 00:39:24,795
    Hold the front end, Kris?   

826
00:39:24,795 --> 00:39:27,598
           Front end,           
      front end, front end.     

827
00:39:27,598 --> 00:39:29,600
         Okay, trailer.         

828
00:39:30,868 --> 00:39:33,871
    Okay, torque on the drive   
          there, Kris.          

829
00:39:33,871 --> 00:39:35,806
   [Narrator] They've stopped   
     the wrecker sliding...     

830
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:37,575
  [Andrew] Whoa, not too much.  

831
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:41,545
  [Narrator] ...but their tight 
          working space         

832
00:39:41,545 --> 00:39:43,814
   is getting even tighter...   

833
00:39:43,814 --> 00:39:46,150
     [Andrew] This trailer,     
       being a milk load,       

834
00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:48,085
        centre of gravity       
          shifted out.          

835
00:39:48,085 --> 00:39:49,120
           As we lift,          

836
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,421
     we're not transferring     

837
00:39:50,421 --> 00:39:52,223
      the amount of weight      
 that we want to to the wheels. 

838
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:57,561
      Keep pressure on it.      

839
00:39:58,629 --> 00:39:59,897
     You're kidding me, man.    

840
00:40:01,632 --> 00:40:03,334
            [Andrew]            
    Wheels are not anchoring.   

841
00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:04,502
  Bill is pulling, they're just 
      sliding towards him.      

842
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:06,837
        Whoa, Kris, whoa.       

843
00:40:06,837 --> 00:40:08,439
   We're running out of room,   

844
00:40:08,439 --> 00:40:10,107
   because she slid so far out  
         to the trucks.         

845
00:40:11,008 --> 00:40:13,110
   [Andrew] We came to a point  
          of no return.         

846
00:40:13,110 --> 00:40:15,012
 The trailer is sliding so much,

847
00:40:15,012 --> 00:40:17,848
        to the point that       
     Bill ran out of line...    

848
00:40:17,848 --> 00:40:20,084
           [Narrator]           
  ...but Andrew's lead operator 

849
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:23,020
     might have just spotted    
          a solution...         

850
00:40:23,020 --> 00:40:24,355
     [Bill] We got a space.     

851
00:40:24,355 --> 00:40:26,357
     So if you want to throw    
     a strap in, do it now.     

852
00:40:26,357 --> 00:40:28,959
  You got room to run a strap?  

853
00:40:28,959 --> 00:40:31,562
   Yeah, I see right through.   

854
00:40:31,562 --> 00:40:33,697
    [Andrew] Now we are left    
      with the only option      

855
00:40:33,697 --> 00:40:36,066
        to run a top line       
        around the shell.       

856
00:40:36,066 --> 00:40:39,303
    [Narrator] ...and to rig    
    a strap around the tank,    

857
00:40:39,303 --> 00:40:40,971
     Andrew will have to go     

858
00:40:40,971 --> 00:40:45,109
       directly underneath      
      the dangling trailer.     

859
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:47,111
     [Andrew] You gotta keep    
      that auxiliary snug?      

860
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:48,279
   [Bill] There's still space.  

861
00:40:50,181 --> 00:40:52,016
             Clevis!            

862
00:40:52,016 --> 00:40:53,818
      I wasn't going to ask     
         any of my guys         

863
00:40:53,818 --> 00:40:55,853
   to be put in that position   
           to go rig.           

864
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:01,392
       Don't let go, Bill.      

865
00:41:01,392 --> 00:41:02,526
          Don't let go          
        of the auxiliary.       

866
00:41:02,526 --> 00:41:04,528
         [Bill] I'm not.        

867
00:41:08,165 --> 00:41:09,633
        Can we hurry up?        

868
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:10,868
            [Andrew]            
  I've got complete confidence  

869
00:41:10,868 --> 00:41:12,803
  in Bill running this rotator, 

870
00:41:12,803 --> 00:41:14,738
 but rigging failures do happen,

871
00:41:14,738 --> 00:41:16,240
     and I'm putting myself     
          in a position         

872
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,541
 that's really tricky right now.

873
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:20,711
 [Bill] I'm keeping 'er steady. 

874
00:41:22,413 --> 00:41:24,482
     Hold on, boy, hold on.     

875
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:26,050
         This is getting        
         pretty intense.        

876
00:41:27,051 --> 00:41:28,552
         Guys, hurry up.        

877
00:41:32,189 --> 00:41:33,491
     [Bill] Guys, hurry up.     

878
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:36,794
  [Narrator] On a country road  
    northwest of Cornwall...    

879
00:41:36,794 --> 00:41:38,596
  [Andrew] Don't let go, Bill.  

880
00:41:38,596 --> 00:41:40,865
   [Narrator] ...Andrew's life  

881
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:43,734
is in his lead operator's hands.

882
00:41:43,734 --> 00:41:45,135
  [Bill] Andrew is under there  

883
00:41:45,135 --> 00:41:46,770
    trying to get that strap    
            on there,           

884
00:41:46,770 --> 00:41:49,974
     and I'm trying to hold     
           these lines          

885
00:41:49,974 --> 00:41:52,943
   so the trailer doesn't move  
        and fall on him.        

886
00:41:52,943 --> 00:41:54,845
     Okay, I'm going to keep    
    a little pressure on it--   

887
00:41:54,845 --> 00:41:56,680
       -[winches whirring]      
             -Sorry!            

888
00:41:57,548 --> 00:41:59,149
      [Andrew] I could hear     
       that winch let go,       

889
00:41:59,149 --> 00:42:00,684
     that trailer fall two,     
          three inches,         

890
00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:01,819
    Bill bringing it back up.   

891
00:42:01,819 --> 00:42:04,221
    It's not the best feeling   
          in the world.         

892
00:42:07,992 --> 00:42:09,627
     Thank God it was Bill.     

893
00:42:09,627 --> 00:42:10,961
          He's the guy          
    with the most experience    

894
00:42:10,961 --> 00:42:12,296
       running that truck.      

895
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:14,031
  I wouldn't want anybody else  
        on that control.        

896
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:16,400
        [Narrator] ...and       
    with the strap in place,    

897
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,403
         Andrew can get         
     out of the danger zone.    

898
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:21,205
         [Andrew] Okay,         
      go on the other side,     

899
00:42:21,205 --> 00:42:23,274
        extend that out.        

900
00:42:23,274 --> 00:42:24,308
          [Bill] Okay.          

901
00:42:24,308 --> 00:42:25,843
            That was            
     a little nerve-racking.    

902
00:42:25,843 --> 00:42:28,212
    I had to have just enough   
     pressure on that line.     

903
00:42:32,349 --> 00:42:34,985
    [Andrew] We got one line    
    wrapping around the tank.   

904
00:42:34,985 --> 00:42:36,186
   [Narrator] Now they'll see   

905
00:42:36,186 --> 00:42:38,856
      if the boom will help     
     wrestle up the tanker,     

906
00:42:38,856 --> 00:42:42,693
  and the unwieldy load inside. 

907
00:42:42,693 --> 00:42:44,929
          Now the boom          
      is doing the lifting.     

908
00:42:44,929 --> 00:42:46,263
              Okay.             

909
00:42:46,263 --> 00:42:48,832
     Bring 'er to ya, Billy.    

910
00:42:48,832 --> 00:42:50,568
          That's fine.          

911
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:52,436
         Okay, line out         
    on the auxiliaries, Bill.   

912
00:42:52,436 --> 00:42:54,738
       Slowly but surely.       

913
00:42:54,738 --> 00:42:57,274
      [Andrew] Dealing with     
       a liquefied product      

914
00:42:57,274 --> 00:42:58,542
        is unpredictable.       

915
00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:00,945
          As you lift,          

916
00:43:00,945 --> 00:43:02,746
     that centre of gravity     
         shifts on you,         

917
00:43:02,746 --> 00:43:05,082
          so you gotta          
      consistently adjust.      

918
00:43:05,082 --> 00:43:07,084
        Don't move, Kris.       

919
00:43:07,084 --> 00:43:09,119
     So having Bill and Kris    
             in sync            

920
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:10,854
     is extremely important.    

921
00:43:11,855 --> 00:43:13,791
       Very slowly, Bill.       

922
00:43:13,791 --> 00:43:14,858
        Slower than that.       

923
00:43:14,858 --> 00:43:17,628
            [Andrew]            
  If one overpowers the other,  

924
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:19,697
    it transfers more weight    
        to that wrecker,        

925
00:43:19,697 --> 00:43:21,265
  and that wrecker might slide, 

926
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:22,766
          jeopardizing          
       the whole recovery.      

927
00:43:24,868 --> 00:43:26,303
        That's it, whoa!        

928
00:43:26,303 --> 00:43:28,639
          And boom out.         

929
00:43:31,575 --> 00:43:34,278
  [Bill] Yeah, she's dropping,  
        she's dropping...       

930
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,482
           Touchdown.           

931
00:43:38,482 --> 00:43:40,284
            Yee-haw!            

932
00:43:40,284 --> 00:43:41,318
   [Andrew] Good right there.   

933
00:43:41,318 --> 00:43:42,286
           That'll do.          

934
00:43:42,286 --> 00:43:43,120
              Phew!             

935
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,088
      [Bill] Look at that.      

936
00:43:44,088 --> 00:43:47,324
  [laughs in triumph] Love it!  

937
00:43:47,324 --> 00:43:48,726
  Let's just put your legs up,  

938
00:43:48,726 --> 00:43:51,261
        hop in the truck,       
   and just drive out with it.  

939
00:43:52,262 --> 00:43:53,931
      That was a tough one.     

940
00:43:53,931 --> 00:43:55,132
  Yeah, I was a little nervous. 

941
00:43:55,132 --> 00:43:58,168
      I have a lot of faith     
        into Bill, but...       

942
00:43:59,670 --> 00:44:01,305
      I just don't want it      
   to get to his head, though.  

943
00:44:01,305 --> 00:44:03,474
     [Bill] Good job, boys.     

944
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:04,908
        [Narrator] Today,       

945
00:44:04,908 --> 00:44:09,013
   Andrew trusted his lead op   
         with his life.         

946
00:44:09,013 --> 00:44:10,280
      Bill has a knowledge.     

947
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,016
    I think now he just needs   
          a confidence,         

948
00:44:12,016 --> 00:44:13,684
     and by me stepping back    

949
00:44:13,684 --> 00:44:15,853
      and letting him lead,     

950
00:44:15,853 --> 00:44:17,855
    it's going to do exactly    
   like my father did with me.  

951
00:44:17,855 --> 00:44:20,290
       [Bill] I appreciate      
    the amount of confidence    

952
00:44:20,290 --> 00:44:22,493
        Andrew has in me.       

953
00:44:22,493 --> 00:44:24,595
         It says a lot.         

954
00:44:24,595 --> 00:44:27,798
      [Narrator] Now Andrew     
      needs the confidence      

955
00:44:27,798 --> 00:44:30,768
       to let Bill take on      
      more responsibility.      

956
00:44:30,768 --> 00:44:33,303
      [Andrew] Coming home      
  from a wreck of that nature,  

957
00:44:33,303 --> 00:44:35,172
putting myself in that position,

958
00:44:35,172 --> 00:44:38,609
           was kind of          
    that feeling of gratitude   

959
00:44:38,609 --> 00:44:39,543
     to be able to go home.     

960
00:44:40,944 --> 00:44:43,047
        Back to the 401!        

961
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:48,118
            Whoo-hoo!           

962
00:44:51,555 --> 00:44:54,992
      [Narrator] Next time      
     on Heavy Rescue: 401...    

963
00:44:54,992 --> 00:44:56,727
  [Kerry] You don't get a call  
      like this too often.      

964
00:44:56,727 --> 00:44:58,529
           [Narrator]           
      ...valuable cargo...      

965
00:44:58,529 --> 00:45:01,699
      [Kerry] 7,000 pounds      
    of gold and silver. Wow.    

966
00:45:01,699 --> 00:45:03,067
[Narrator] ...catches attention.

967
00:45:03,067 --> 00:45:05,302
         [Kerry] We got         
    another crash over here.    

968
00:45:05,302 --> 00:45:06,637
  [Narrator] Father and son...  

969
00:45:06,637 --> 00:45:07,671
     [Gary] Hold on, Collin!    

970
00:45:07,671 --> 00:45:09,840
      Sounds like the wall      
         is coming out.         

971
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:10,974
   [Narrator] ...hit a snag...  

972
00:45:10,974 --> 00:45:12,342
     [Collin] Big, big mess.    

973
00:45:12,342 --> 00:45:14,745
           [Narrator]
