Next on Ice Road Truckers...
She's a bright one.
Hugh gets
Blindsided.
Holy [bleep].
Greg's job is on
The line.
We got to see if we can still
Use your services.
Lisa's road to
Respect hits the ditch.
And alex finds
Blood on the dalton.
Look at me.
Look at me, garth.
Greggy.
It's okay, garth.
These are the
Truckers who make their living
On thin ice.
It's 6:00 am in the
Carlile yard at fairbanks,
And the polar bear is on the
Hunt early.
Locked.
She's Sunday morning trying to
Get a load here, and she's
Locked up.
They don't trust us canadians
With the...
The combinations, and the keys,
And stuff here.
We might take everything home
With us.
Oh, here he comes.
It's, uh...I gotta remember,
Here.
It's like that.
Right on, thanks.
Yep.
We got a load here.
Three loads behind
The leader, hugh is running
Hard.
Hoping to get back in the race
With this 43-Ton load of pipe.
I gotta get as many loads in
As I possibly can.
There ain't no days off.
The early start
Gives hugh a jump on the
Competition.
She's a bright one.
But it means
Driving directly into the
Morning sun, making the sharp
Hills and steep curves even
Tougher to negotiate.
Well, when you drop a hill
Like that, the sun's in your
Eyes and you don't know if
Anybody's coming, and all of a
Sudden there's a big rig coming
The other way, you [bleep] go
Sideways real [bleep] quick.
Rolling some heat today,
Maybe on these roads.
Sun beats down on the road,
Slicks things up.
Damn it.
Watch it!
Holy [bleep]!
You're kind of a [bleep].
If I didn't know how to drive,
You'd been gone.
You're a tough guy on the radio,
Meet me in the parking lot and
I'll knock your [bleep]
Teeth out.
This ain't my first [bleep]
Barbecue.
I should have told him close
Only counts in horseshoes and
Grenades.
Back in fairbanks,
Alex debogorski is gearing up
For his eighth run of the
Season.
I got a load of 20-Foot long
Ten by ten rough sawn timbers.
Our dispatch wants this load
Delivered to prudhoe bay before
5:00 tomorrow.
But just 25 miles
North of town...
What the hell are they doing
Here?
There's a truck upside down in
The ditch.
If you're asking if I see you
Guys, no.
Okay.
We're gonna stay here with you.
I'm gonna have a look at you
Right away.
How are you?
I'm all right.
Actually, I'm not doing too
Good.
You got blo on your face
Here.
Just here.
Yeah, yeah, here.
I ain't wounded, am I?
I don't think so.
Yeah, well...
Are you okay everywhere else?
Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
I'm just calming down.
He needs some stitches.
Tore...tore..
Here.
Look how bad that cut is.
See, my friend.
Okay.
All right, let me have a look.
Gosh, it's pretty deep there.
Here, here.
Hold this on here.
Well, let's keep this [bleep]
On here.
The second man's
Injuries are more serious,
And he's losing blood.
I feel like I'm gonna pass
Out.
Let's...let's go off...get off
The road here.
So we don't get run over.
Back at the truck yard, first
Year driver ray veilleux is
Looking to cash in.
Today is the last day of the
Pay period and I wanna get in as
Many loads as I can.
So I asked them for a load, and
They gave me this.
It'd be nicer to do a big
Oversize.
This is kinda wimpy oversize.
This iron sleigh is
Used to haul building materials
Across the tundra in prudhoe
Bay.
There's other peoples jobs
Basically on hold until they get
Up there with that freight.
So hopefully ray can make it all
The way through tonight.
You gotta be kidding me.
In the sub-Zero
Temperatures of alaska, truckers
Leave their rigs running...or
Plugged in...to prevent the
Engine from freezing and the
Batteries from dying.
It's a lesson this rookie just
Learned the hard way.
Everything's frozen.
Truck won't start.
All the good trucks have genset
To keep running all night long
Without being plugged in.
But the crappy trucks don't have
That, so you gotta get the
Mechanic, and he'll put some
Heaters on him, and get him
Going.
Now that's one cold motor.
I mean, you can see how this
Motor looks, how she's just
Froze solid.
You know something's cold when
You can touch it with your hand
And you stick to it.
Now I just gotta give this bad
Boy some life support.
It's a big delay.
Makes you frustrated.
It's a bad way to start the day.
25 miles north,
Alex is on the scene of an
Accident.
We have very deep, deep
Cuts. Here, I wanna put...okay.
Here.
There's a third guy.
You say there's one more?
There's a third guy.
He's down the line, there.
Yeah, just hold...I gotta keep
Pressuring your hand here.
Or maybe he's in the truck
Yet, I don't know.
There's a third one that's
Missing right now.
Go look in that truck,
Yeah, look in the truck.
Is somebody in there?
Hello?
Nobody in there.
No?
Are you sure?
We don't know if he's hurt
Or not.
Hang on, he's bleeding.
Hold on, we'll get somebody here
To...
Has anybody seen him?
I hope he didn't walk into
The woods and die.
At the carlile
Yard in fairbanks, greg boadwine
Is hoping his truck is ready to
Roll.
Truck spent the weekend in
The shop.
Had a nasty pop coming up five
Mile.
I hope it didn't turn out to be
Anything major.
Morning, guys.
Hey, what's up, greg?
Oh, not much.
Seeing if there was anything
That came about that pop from
The rear end.
Yeah, the pop from the rear
End wasn't a good sign.
Stripped an axle on the rear
Diff, so I'm gonna have to send
It down to kenworth for repair.
So you're gonna be outta
Commission for a day or two.
Great.
Broke truck...
No trips, no pay...
Bills will be fun next month.
Anytime a truck is
Damaged, carlile management
Takes a look at the truck's
Onboard computer system.
This is our cab electronic
Technician.
We can hook it to the cab motors
On all of our trucks.
It's kind of a little tattle
Tale set up on an en...on a
Computer system on a truck
That...just let's a company know
That the driver is taking care
Of their equipment.
Or...Not taking care of.
And according to the download on
The truck, maximum speed that
The vehicle has attained was 69
Miles an hour.
That's above the company
Average that they want of 42
Miles per hour.
So...You know the truck's been
Doing some speeding.
The company has a policy, they
Just deal with violators as they
Need to.
25 miles north...
Left wrist.
Why can't that guy take me to
The doctor?
Tension is rising at the
Scene of the accident.
Can you go up the hill and
Make sure nobody hits my truck?
I saw a red flash, a flip
Upside down, a big puff of white
Snow, and I knew.
I pulled right there over the
Crest of the hill, and I called
9-1-1, and I told them a red
Pickup just flipped.
Alex is looking
After the two injured men.
And that fella's got a slice
Like that in his face.
Your hand's bleeding bad here
Too.
And now he's
Searching for a missing third
Man.
See where the flashing lights
Are down there?
We know that he was no the road.
The pickup's on the road.
They're intoxicated.
You can smell the alcohol.
Look in that truck.
Amid the chaos...
The victim's family arrives.
We gotta go to the hospital.
Yeah, we were waiting for the
Ambulance, but it's up to you.
Let's wait for the ambulance.
You wanna go now, or...?
It's bad.
Oh, god.
No, we're going now.
Come on.
Come on, baby, you're going with
Me.
I've got you.
Come on with me.
Okay.
I promise I'll get you there.
Don't let them leave.
They can't leave.
No, they shouldn't leave.
They're drunk.
Are you cold?
No, I'm not cold.
I'm just nervous.
Well, we gotta keep you warm
Anyway, that's good for you.
You know that, eh.
Here...here they come.
I think I can just go home
And sew this up.
I don't think you are.
No, I don't think so.
Baby, that's not one you're
Gonna hand sew.
Pretty fancy sewing machine.
I think we can just go home.
No, I don't think you are.
Honey, no.
We can just go home.
No, you cannot.
You are going to the hospital,
You're in bad shape.
Okay, we gotta tell this guy
That there's one guy missing,
So.
Would I lie to you?
No.
Okay, you are hurt bad.
You are hurt really bad.
Who was driving?
This guy.
You know, I don't really even
Know what happened.
You don't really know what
Happened?
No, I remember coming out of!
That rig there, and...
Okay.
That's about it.
You guys been drinking
Tonight?
Oh, I was drinking, yeah.
You were drinking?
How much you had to drink?
But I was not driving.
You were not driving?
Who was driving, garth?
There's a third...like I say
A third fellow.
There's a third guy.
He was walking on the road
When I got here, but I don't
Know where he went.
Which?
He was going down that hill.
I just came from there and I
Didn't see anybody on the road.
Were you driving, sir?
Or was the other guy?
No, I was not driving.
He was kind of out in the
Middle of the street when I
Pulled up, but I was worried
About this guy who was bleeding.
Yeah, he was sort of in the
Middle.
Now I understand there are some
Tracks going out into the woods
Beside the truck too.
I'm worried about this third
Guy, wherever he went.
One of the things we're
Concerned about here is your
Neck.
I'm gonna put a collar around
Your neck, I'm gonna get you...
No, I don't want nothing like
That, I'll get weird.
They aren't gonna hurt you,
It's just to make sure that your
Neck is good when you're being...
I don't like this thing.
I'll [bleep].
Just around the neck.
Around your neck to stiffen
Your neck out, you know.
This thing's a piece of
I'll just [bleep]damn walk.
No, no, no, garth.
I got a gurney...
I want it off.
I'm gonna freak out, dude.
Garth.
You better watch out.
I'm a mean mother[bleep].
475 miles north,
Lisa kelly is back on the road
After a grueling week running
Push truck for the mega haul.
I just did the most coolest
Awesome thing yesterday
Completely out of my element.
Delivering the 104
Ton monster load was a big step
For lisa.
I'm so wore out and
Exhausted.
I got to prudhoe and I went
Straight to bed, 'cause I was
Just wore out.
And I slept until I was rested,
But as soon as I got up...
I was like, "I'm just gonna go,"
So I just went.
But rushing to get
Back on the road, lisa made one
Big mistake.
I've never forgotten fuel
Before.
I'm not retarded.
I just was focused on other
Things.
Now on her way back
To town, the wind begins to pick
Up.
One delineator, one
Delineator, one delineator.
To none at all.
So I have to drive back through
This crap.
It's snowing on the ice and
Making it slippery.
Well, I get the consequences for
The actions, so...
And it just sucks.
As she approaches
Prudhoe bay...
The snow is piling up.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Truck, stop.
Oh, no!
Just south of
Prudhoe bay...
Lisa kelly has lost
Control of her rig.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,
Truck, stop.
Oh, no!
[Bleep], come on.
Geez.
Can you pull me out of the
Ditch, please?
Brr.
I know.
I'll testify to that in court.
Okay.
Damn it.
We were starting over new.
Please don't show that.
I'm gonna get [bleep] fired.
The plow was here and I turned
The wheels, and the [bleep]
Thing wouldn't turn!
So I turned back.
Lisa's truck is
Back on the road.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I got it.
All right.
Have a good day.
But just a day
After delivering the biggest
Load of the season, her
Reputation is once again on the
Line.
I'm gonna get fired.
475 miles south...
You're not gonna strap me to
This [bleep] thing, are you?
You've gotta be strapped in,
But there...
Your hands can move.
Alex has his hands
Full.
Not doing it.
You have to.
Your hands are still
Gonna be free.
No. I'll freak out, dude.
No, you won't, honey.
How come I have to be
Strapped to this [bleep] thing?
I don't...
So you don't fall...so you
Don't fall off of it, buddy.
This thing is [bleep] me
Up, dude.
It's okay.
Just relax, we're gonna lay you
Back.
He's trying to trip me.
Oh, no, no.
Yeah, just leave your feet there
And you're gonna lay down.
Well, why can't I just lay on
The [bleep] thing?
Just lay back.
Just relax.
It's like a bed, honey.
I don't like it, greggy.
I got you, I got you.
Look at me.
Look at me, garth.
Just take a nice, deep
Breath.
Come on, greggy.
Nice, deep breath.
You're good.
I'm right here, you're good.
Okay.
Perfect.
Greggy!
Greggy's right here with us,
Garth.
It's okay.
He's fixing his hand right now,
Okay?
Greggy!
It's okay, garth.
No, garth.
Garth, garth, calm down.
It's okay.
Calm down, okay?
Greggy!
It's okay, garth.
We're here, honey.
Where's greggy?
He's right there.
He's here.
I got my hand on your
Forehead.
You guys are a bunch of candy
Ass sons of bitches.
Oh, I know it...do you wanna
Really get "candy ass"?
Come on.
Calm down.
Okay.
Calm down, good job.
Perfect.
Greggy!
Okay.
With the injured
Man now in the hands of the
Paramedics...
Attention turns to
Finding the missing man.
There is a guy still missing.
Nobody knows where he's at.
I understand he just took off
Walking.
You didn't see anybody else
Walk past you on the highway?
No, nobody walked past me.
And I would have seen that, and
I would have, you know, stopped
Him and asked him if he was
From the accident or was he
Hurt, or...
So I don't know if a third
Person's really there.
Because he's not sure, and he
Was driving too fast.
And they were drinking, you can
Smell it, so...
I think gray, but I wasn't
Looking at him.
All right, alex, I wanna be
Sure here because I'll be honest
With you, there's a number of
The people that were here very
Shortly afterwards and they're
Not telling me the same story,
So...about this third guy.
But there's lots of traffic
Around, so...
Well, I'm sure there's
Another person wanderi around
On the road.
Okay.
All right, well, I wanna make...
'Cause, you know, I don't want
You to...
I'm not, well...
You guys...you don't know
These guys from adam.
I don't know them at all,
Nope.
Okay.
While the police
Track down the third man...
Alex continues his push north.
Our father, who art in
Heaven, hallowed by thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be
Done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses.
As we forgive those who
Trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but
Deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the
Power, and the glory, now and
Forever.
Amen.
As darkness
Falls...
Alex ends his long day at
Coldfoot.
But for ray, there's no rest.
A rookie mistake set him six
Hours behind schedule.
You gotta be kidding me.
Now that's one cold motor.
Now he's running
Through the night to meet his
Deadline.
I am so flipping tired right
Now.
Man...This ain't good.
My eyes are starting to burn.
This is how guys get killed out
Here.
Falling asleep at the wheel.
And yet, that could easily
Happen real freaking quick too.
All right, billy, you have
A good drive.
I'm just scaring myself into
Putting it into a ditch.
'Cause it could get ugly.
We don't want that to happen.
Despite being
Behind schedule, ray knows his
Limits.
After 20 minutes of sleep...
I hate getting tired like
That.
Well, let's get to prudhoe and
Then I can get to bed.
Still got two and a half hours
To go.
Hard as he tries,
Ray can't shake the tingling in
His arm.
Something's going on.
I know something ain't right.
Am I gonna have a stroke?
Or...I'm probably gonna have a
Heart attack, I'm probably
Dying.
Whoa.
Just south of
Prudhoe bay, ray's arm has gone
Numb.
And he's fearing the worst.
Am I gonna have a stroke?
Or...I'm probably gonna have a
Heart attack, I'm probably
Dying.
Trying to stay alert.
I don't wanna pass out.
I'll flip the truck over on the
Side of the road.
Randy, I don't feel good.
I'm probably having a stroke or
Something.
Can you give me a ride to
Hospital?
Yeah, let's go.
As the sun rises...
The polar bear is already back
On the prowl.
This will be damn close to 20
Loads by the time I'm done.
Let's see, if I can get 20, I'll
Be a happy man, then if I get
More it's just bonus in my
Wallet.
Turning, burning, and put it in
My jeans.
Hugh is running
Hard.
This is polar bear going up
The shelf.
Heading into a
Steep half-Mile stretch known as
Chandalar shelf.
Might be cold enough to try
It without the jewelry on this
Morning.
Now watch me spin out.
Every season,
Dozens of drivers lose control
On this slippery patch of road.
Running with no chains may save
Time.
But in the end, it rarely pays
Off.
I'm committed now, so I'm
Going.
You wanna keep it in a gear
That you ain't got enough power
To spin out in when she's icy
Like this.
You got too much power, your
Tires start to spin, and
You're...
You're done like [bleep] dirt.
Watch out, now.
Watch it!
Come on!
What the [bleep] is he thinking?
Looks like I got about 100, 200
Feet to go.
Hugh begins to
Wonder if he made the right
Call.
Whoa.
There, my tires were breaking
Loose.
No.
Come on, come on.
Stick with me, come on.
Give me a little traction.
Come on, baby, you can do it.
Come on.
As the semi hits
The top of the shelf, it looks
Like hugh's gamble has paid off.
Whoo-Ha!
320 miles south at
Carlile headquarters in
Fairbanks, greg boadwine has
Been called into the boss'
Office.
See how this goes.
Last year, greg's
Season ended with a crash.
And now he's been caught
Speeding.
How's it going, boss?
Hey, what's going on?
Brought you that download.
Got the truck over to kenworth.
They're saying anywhere from
A couple days to a week.
Your max vehicle speed's a
Little high.
You got a 69 on here, which is
Not good.
It shouldn't be that high.
No.
Speed limit's 50 miles an
Hour.
When did you hear the pop?
Five mile, on the left hand
Turn through the s-Curve.
Were you spinning, or...?
No, not at all.
I had great traction.
We got to see if we can still
Use you...your services.
Okay, so I would just wait
For a call sometime today or
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
Right now, I don't even
Really know how to feel.
I mean...
My truck's 90% of our income.
It's really serious.
At the other end of
The dalton, in prudhoe bay...
Lisa kelly is headed in for her
Own moment of truth.
I went in the ditch.
And it was so slippery when I
Hit my brakes and turned my
Wheel, nothing happened.
Except it kept going straight,
And it went...
While making the
Turn off the dalton into town,
Lisa put her rig in the ditch.
I had no idea it was that
Slippery.
I...I just don't know how I could
Have avoided that one.
But I'm still very, very
Disappointed in myself.
On the dalton, word
Travels fast.
Lisa heads in to report the
Wreck herself before the bosses
Hear about it from someone else.
Nope.
Write me up, fire me, whatever.
Coming up...
Hey, boss.
Greg and lisa fight
For their jobs.
I'm under the microscope.
And it's highly stressful.
But for ray, it may
Be too late.
In prudhoe bay,
Lisa kelly is at carlile
Dispatch, ready to face the
Consequences of putting her
Truck into the ditch.
All right.
It'll be all right if I still
Have a job.
She's worried she
Could lose her job.
This is very, very minor.
No damage, no injuries, that's
The big thing.
Making sure she's okay.
In this case, it's a
Non-Recordable incident, so...
It's not that big of a deal.
I'm sure part of it is a pride
Thing.
I wanna do good.
Everybody's watching, and every
Time I screw up...Everybody
Notices when I screw up.
So I'm under the microscope.
And it's highly stressful.
They just...I hate being the weak
Link in the chain.
I don't wanna be that.
Carlile, we're a team and we
Work together.
And...Oh, there's a carlile in
The ditch.
That was me.
And I don't wanna be that
Person.
15 miles south of
Prudhoe...
Alex is headed for the finish
Line.
This load has a little bit of
A sense of urgency about it
Because I promised tim I'd get
It to prudhoe dispatch by 5:00.
I didn't expect it to be this
Close.
One wouldn't have been able to
Foresee that we would run into
That accident scene.
Oh, put it up here.
He's got a bad facial cut on the
Right-Hand side of his...
Left wrist.
I had to look after that fellow
Who was bleeding until the
Ambulance got there.
Oh, I got you.
I got you.
Look at me.
Look at me, garth.
I don't know if everything
Happens for a reason or not,
But some things happen.
And a person has to deal with
Them as he comes across them,
You know?
Life is full of challenges, and
Either some people take on the
Challenge, or some people try to
Ignore the challenge.
But always a step
Ahead, hugh has made it to
Dispatch fst,
Looking for a bonus run back to
Fairbanks.
Hey.
Hey, what's up?
Nothing.
Are you taking ten off or
Anything?
Or are you getting out of here
Again?
Getting out of here.
Here's the deal.
We have some back haul that is
Getting worked right now.
I've got one other driver in
Addition to alex, I guess your
Good friend there.
It's up to you.
I've got two loads and three
Drivers, so it's your call.
If you're gonna give one to
Alex, I will take that one
Anyway.
Ready to roll.
All right, there you go, sir.
Make sure alex knows all
About it.
Have a good trip.
See you.
I got a back haul.
That's another load.
Hustling up the
Road gave hugh another chance to
Score the back haul.
Swiping it from his rival makes
It even sweeter.
6,000 pound payload.
They were gonna give it to
Alex, but alex ain't here.
Hey, alex, you on here?
Yeah, it's me here, hugh.
Well, I just stole your load,
Buddy.
This was designated for you,
But I got her.
Well, good for you.
Congratulations.
Well, I need the money more
Than you do.
Yeah, no kidding, you
Probably do.
I don't really need too much.
I'm not gonna wish that he's
Gonna make less loads, because
If I wish that's wishing that he
Makes less money.
And well, you know...
So I hope he makes lots of
Loads.
I just hope I get more than him.
As alex delivers
His eighth load of the season...
There you go.
We got here before 5:00.
Barely.
We had quite an adventure.
Hugh rolls south
With number nine...
Just one behind ray and jack at
The top of the board.
Out in the prudhoe yard, ray
Veilleux is recovering from a
Terrifying scare the night
Before.
I thought I was having a
Stroke.
I started driving, and I knew
Something was wrong.
My arm was all numb and tingly
All the way up to my chest.
Can't believe it ain't back in
Circulation.
Then I was thinking, "geez, I
Think I'm having a heart attack,
Or a stroke, or something."
Well, I just got back from the
Doctor's.
They said it was all the same
Symptoms of having a stroke.
And what it was was the way I
Slept early this morning.
Ending up, like, pinching a
Nerve between my shoulder
Blades.
And that affected my whole
Right-Hand side.
My arm's all numb.
So you're thinking of your
Family, you're thinking about
Staying alive on the road,
You're thinking about not
Running into somebody else...
That just scared the daylights
Out of me.
Yeah, so the docs, they gave me
Some muscle relaxers.
So I gotta take these, and I got
To go to bed, and take my ten
Hours off, and go back trucking.
24 hours after
Getting busted for speeding...
We got to see if we can still
Use your services.
Okay, so I would just wait
For a call sometime today or
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
Greg boadwine is
Grounded in the fairbanks yard.
He's waiting to hear if he still
Has a job.
I don't know yet if I'll be
Able to go trucking or not.
I guess worst-Case scenario...
I could lose my job.
We get a "yes," we can go
Trucking; if not, I drove up
From delta today for no reason.
Hey, boss.
All right.
Get it checked out, all right.
Will do, thanks.
Talked to tim there and pretty
Good news.
He told to come check this truck
Out, we might be able to take
It north.
This time, greg got
Off with just a warning.
But he may be running out of
Second chances.
Carlile gave me two major
Chances.
First one was to run this road
In the first place.
Second, they allowed me to keep
My job after the fact.
So I need to prove to them that
Hiring me waa good idea,
Keeping me around was a better
Idea.
I just have to make myself
Worth it to them.
