Tonight, on Ice Road Truckers...
Dragging that [bleep] strap
Again.
Lisa and hugh do
Battle with their loads.
Tell 'em to stuff it up their
Ass if they try to blame me for
It.
Tensions soar...
Stupid freaking dumb laugh he's
Got.
And ray faces
Every truckers' nightmare.
These are the
Truckers who make their living
On thin ice.
Deep into the ice
Road season...
Trying to make that money.
That's what it's all about.
The battle to be
King of the load count...
That's what it's all about.
Dash for the cash.
Is getting fierce.
Are all fighting to be the
New king of the haul road.
At the top of the
World in prudhoe bay, alex
Debogorski has just delivered
His 11th load of the season and
Now, he's praying for a
Backhaul.
Alex.
Morning.
How you doing, sir?
Pretty good, pete.
I don't suppose you'll give
Us a backhaul?
Is there any?
I have no backhaul to give
You.
Okay, no problem.
I just thought I'd check since
This is a new day.
Very good, sir, thank you.
All right.
We'll see you...
See you in a day or two.
And we're back on the kamikaze
Trail.
Alex heads south
With an empty trailer.
It won't bring him any money or
Any closer to winning the load
Count.
Alex.
I believe you're behind us,
Aren't you?
Yeah, it's me.
We're pulling two trailers
Stacked on top of each other.
Take that back to fairbanks.
Rookie ray veilleux beat alex
To the punch.
It's a light load, but it's
Better than going home
Empty-Handed.
I should get points for
Trying.
Stupid freaking dumb laugh he's
Got like it's his trademark on
The haul road.
Ray didn't particularly have
Much of a liking for me there
Ever since the beginning of the
Season and whatever way I upset
Him was something silly.
I don't know exactly what it
Was.
I even introduced myself to
Alex.
Shook his hand.
Introduced myself.
And he slams me right away with
Something.
Gives me the big ol' dumbass
Éaugh and then he slams me again
With something else and gives me
Another dumb laugh.
So I had to freaking walk away
From that.
I was like, "all right, I can
See how we're gonna play the
Game now."
But with only one
Road back to fairbanks, all ray
Can do is keep alex in the
Rearview mirror.
Go back to canada.
Was I voicing my opinion way too
Much there?
I don't know.
400 miles south,
Hugh "the polar bear" rowland
Barrels into the yard to pick up
His next load.
Looks like a bunch of heaters
To me.
On the oil rigs,
These diesel-Powered heaters are
Critical for keeping men and
Machines operating in weather
That can reach 60 below 0.
But for hugh, they're just
Another load to be hauled up the
Dalton.
Look at that.
Look at them straps.
That don't make sense if they're
Strapping a load down to do it
Like that.
Oh, that's not on me.
I didn't load the [bleep] thing.
Yeah, don't even know where
They come from.
They give you that trailer,
Let's load it, and away you go.
The position of the
Heaters isn't quite right, but
With the load count crown on the
Line, the polar bear isn't about
To let it slow him down.
Well, therein't too many
People up there that are happy
To see me, but they'll be happy
To get the heaters.
I'm always on the attack.
I attack everything I get.
I [bleep] attack the hills.
I attack everything.
Back in the yard,
Lisa kelly reports to dispatch.
Hey, tim.
Lisa, how we doing?
All right. How are you?
Good.
So we got a load for you.
It's a bear cage.
Oh, so is bear cage like
"Bear cage" or is "bear cage"
Short for something?
"Bear cage" is for bear cage.
I've never seen a bear cage
Before.
I thought it was just, like,
Some cool lingo for something
Different.
The bear exclusion
Cage is used to fence off
Entryways to buildings on the
Oil fields and prevent surprise
Encounters with bes that can
Reach up to nine feet tall and
1,700 pounds.
That's the door.
I take it that side goes on the
Building.
And then you get to...oh...come in
And out of the arctic-Ness here.
I've never seen anything like
This, but it makes sense if
They're out on the ice.
You know, you can't have any
Permanent structures and then
That's where the bears live, so.
Start off Monday morning with no
Head.
Oh, wow.
Well, nine-Nine's pretty wide,
Actually.
I'm oversized.
Watch out.
In addition to the
Oversized cage, tisa's hauling
A 25,000-Pound spool of cable.
The unevenly balanced load will
Test lisa's skills all the way
To prudhoe bay.
I am back on the road going
North, which, to me, is the
Right direction.
Oh, you like my little tiny
Box that hangs over the edge
That makes it oversize?
I'm always looking for a new
Challenge and something new to
Learn.
400 miles north...
Ray is racing to put some
Distance between himself and his
Rival.
I could give a [bleep] about
Alex.
He ought to be praying that he
Doesn't kill somebody on the
Haul road here.
Earlier this
Season...
Holy mackerel.
Alex plowed into a
Row of delineators.
Alex, yeah, that dude's out
Of control.
He can't drive a truck.
It's whole different ball game
Up here.
Alex may not have
A perfect record, but he's got
30 years of experience on the
Rookie.
People die out here because
They're not particular about
What they're doing.
They take too many things for
Granted.
Just like this road.
You take it for granted and you
Aren't concentrating and then
The truck doesn't stay exactly
Where you want it on your side
Of the road and there's somebody
Coming, you're gonna hit 'em.
And otherwise, you could
Potentially go in the ditch and
Upside down.
Ice cut...
Copy.
Ray?
Did he answer?
Ray, do you copy?
100 miles south of
Prudhoe bay, ray veilleux is in
The ditch.
Kendall, kendall, hey.
Kendall, hey.
Hey, we crashed.
We're on top of ice cut.
We went off the road.
I'm in the ditch.
Put my winter gear on.
They always say it's not if you
Go in a ditch.
It's when you're gonna go in a
Ditch and they're right about
That.
I just went in a ditch hard.
[Bleep] me.
As a truck begins
To skid, inexperienced drivers
Will often attempt to
Overcorrect and turn out of the
Skid in hopes of avoiding the
Ditch.
But forcing the wheel against
The momentum of the truck could
Cause the rig to roll over,
Turning a bad situation into a
Driver's worst nightmare.
The first person on the scene
Is fellow carlile driver
Jeremy welton.
Seeing ray unharmed, he snaps
A quick photo for the haul road
Wall of shame.
At least I didn't flip over.
Smile.
Oh, well, hey, I got a shovel
Right there on the back...
Oh, a shovel?
Yeah, right there.
No sympathy, huh?
I was gonna throw it out to
You, but I'll let you get it
Yourself.
Other truckers
Continue to arrive...
And soon they have a plan.
They're gonna try to get us
Out.
That'd be really good.
Hell, if we could pull it out,
Man, that'd be great.
Ray knows he's
Lucky to be alive.
On the dalton, even a momentary
Lapse in concentration can be
Deadly.
They're a bunch of company
Guys here to help and they've
All been through this once
Before or more.
So I'm gonna let them run the
Show.
You're gonna be lead guy.
I never did this [bleep] before.
If they can get him
Back on the road quickly, ray
Might hang on to his job and his
Lead in the load count.
We're all hooked up.
We're gonna try tuggin' on you.
So what do you want me to do?
Need you to put her in
Reverse.
All right.
Start her up, man.
Okay.
Truck started.
That's a good sign and these
Guys want to...
Ray, I'll get you on the
Radio in a second.
All right!
These guys want to give it a
Tug and see what happens.
No.
Ripped that right off.
Watch this.
Boy, that snapped that like
Nothing.
Didn't even budge.
Well, they snapped it clean off.
They tried pulling with the
Chain and that snapped.
With no quick fix
In sight, ray could be stuck for
Another day.
You know how rumors go.
He went in the ditch somewhere
Around ice cut.
But as word of the
Accident spreads down the
Dalton, rebuilding his
Reputation will take a lot
Longer than that.
It had to happen sooner or
Later.
You know how bad it is or if
He got out?
No.
All I know is he went in the
Ditch somewhere around ice cut.
300 miles south,
Lisa's headed to prudhoe bay
With a load that will help
Protect workers on the north
Slope.
I think he goes, "and a bear
Cage," and I said, "a what?"
And he's like, "a bear cage."
Where else do you open your door
Slowly to check around and make
Sure there's no bears before you
Go outside.
Most people don't.
They're just like,
"La-Di-Da-Da-Da."
And I bet it would be different,
Like, in the city or other
Places, you know, that I
Wouldn't even, like, think of,
So it's just different.
Life is different.
It's a different mentality up
Here.
Bear exclusion
Cages have been around since
People began working in alaska's
North slope.
Since oil exploration began in
The 1970s, a dozen people have
Been killed by bears in north
America.
In recent years, expansion of
The oil field, shrinking
Habitats, and global warming all
Mean human and bear encounters
Are on the rise.
It's funny how, like, the new
People that come up here, how
They don't think the same way
I do, and I've been here for
20 years.
And I mean, there are certain
Precautions that you take before
You do stuff up here, because
It's your mentality, and that's
How you survive.
200 miles out in
Front...
And I've just been hauling
Ass steady here.
Just turning and burning and...
Hugh's making great
Time with his 12th load of the
Season.
I call this easy money,
Hauling a load like this.
It's a nice, light load that's
Got enough weight on there to
Give you some traction that you
Need.
You don't have to worry about
Getting it up the hill.
Been hauling pipe all year long,
So it's nice to have a nice,
Easy load to come up one day.
I'm behind "philbilly" here,
And he's pretty [bleep] cautious
About everything.
He's pretty heavy, hauling fuel,
And I've got a big load, but
She's a fairly light one, so
I'll probably have to pass him
Just to rub his nose in it.
Last year, phil
Kromm was hugh's trainer.
Yeah.
I was going too fast.
Yeah, yeah, you bet.
Now hugh decides to
Show his old teacher how to run
The haul road.
What the hell?
I'll stop up here at the
Pull-Out.
Back in the yard,
Hugh wasn't happy with the way
The heaters were strapped down
But, in a hurry, he let it
Slide.
Now the loose straps are causing
Big problems.
Yeah, this dunnage moved a
Little bit on the back, but
Nothing serious.
It's just, uh, basically so the
Tongue don't dig into the bed on
The deck.
Hey, phil, how did you manage to
See this behind on the back end
Of my load?
About the time you sacked the
[Bleep] out of me...
Hugh and phil
Readjust the wooden supports.
Yeah, she's not moving.
The worst of it's over.
Yeah, it'll stay now.
But as hugh gets
Ready to hit the road...
Yeah, it looks like they
Parked these two a little close
Together here.
I don't know why they would load
It like that, but it should
Never have been put...like, them
Two are loaded right.
They should have left these two
That far apart too.
But that's the way she's loaded.
Had to check my load.
Noticed that them two heaters
Are, uh, scraping the paint off
One another, the way they're
Loaded so close.
I don't know why they'd load
Them too close like that.
Not my call, anyway.
That's whoever loaded it, I
Guess, but it ain't on me
Anyway, so I'm not too worried
About it.
Next, alex comes to
The rescue.
Oh, my god.
Now I've got [bleep] alex.
100 miles south of
Prudhoe bay...
He's in there pretty good.
Alex pulls up on
Ray's accident.
Heard a little bit of
Commotion on the radio and
Heard it was ray who was in the
Ditch.
Let's go have a look.
Oh, it's [bleep].
Oh, my god.
Now I've got [bleep] alex.
That's the way it goes, you
Know?
The first attempt
To tow ray's rig out went
Nowhere.
Before they can try again, ray's
Got to dig his truck out of the
Snow.
It's a lot of snow.
It's like, where do you start?
I'm gonna get fired.
I'm used to this.
I've been in the ditch lots.
A good time will be had by all.
At least once a winter, a guy's
Got to dig himself out or
Somebody else.
I've shoveled myself lots.
I didn't even know it was you
When you came pulling up.
You know, I always wondered when
This day was gonna come.
When I hung up the mic, I looked
Up and I hung it, and I looked
Down, and I already caught the
Edge, not allowed to go
Straight.
After two hours...
I hope everybody's impressed
When the see the hole we dug.
Ray, alex, and the
Truckers have shoveled all the
Way around the 50-Foot rig.
Like they say, it's not if
You go in the ditch, it's when
You go in a ditch.
Yeah, they say...what'd they
Say?
What did george just say?
That's what they say.
That you're either in the
Ditch or you're going in the
Ditch.
There are two kinds of guys out
There.
It's not if, it's when.
But digging around
The truck...
Yeah, one step closer.
A little bit at a time.
Is just the
Beginning.
We're only digging around the
Outside.
We've got to dig out everything
Underneath the tractor.
So the diffs and the engine and
Everything's dragging.
It's all packed underneath, see?
That's the hard digging.
It's sort of, I guess,
Similar to an avalanche.
In a couple of minutes, all that
Snow can settle, and it just...
It...it gets just about as bad as
Ice, and it's real hard to get
You out of there.
The engine is
Especially challenging.
You can't get in there with a
Shovel, and it's too risky to
Damage stuff.
Little wires and little hoses,
And so you've got to do it all
With your hands.
That [bleep] is frozen in there.
I'm cleaning out the radiator
Right now so the fan can spin.
After four
Backbreaking hours...
My snow bank's getting too
High for me.
Ray's rig is nearly
Free.
I'm really working up a
Sweat.
My left foot's a little numb,
But I think if I keep...keep
Moving, it should either fall
Off or thaw out.
This is dalton highway survival.
But for a man with
A history of heart problems,
Each shovelful comes at a price.
Here you go.
There you go.
Help me out.
Whoa.
I put a coke and a water over
There with the ice, if you want
Them.
First my hands got cold,
And now my toe...my foot's cold.
I'm soaking wet.
Once the snow is
Cleared, they'll try again to
Pull ray's rig and his career
From the ditch.
Well, he's gonna pull from
Here, using his landing gear off
The side and trying to pull it
Out.
And he's gonna pull from the
Back with it anchored, so
Hopefully, between the two of
Them, they can get it rolling.
This time, ray will
Be hitched to two trucks.
Everybody's gonna pull nice
And easy, and we're gonna see
What happens, see if she moves.
All right, get in the truck.
Here we go.
All right over there, ray?
Yep.
Here we go.
All that took was two trucks,
Eight chains, and two hours of
Digging.
As the rescue team
Departs, alex stays behind to
Help remove the last remains of
Snow from ray's engine.
Thanks, alex.
You're very welcome.
Appreciate it.
Most work I've done for a
Long time.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like shoveling that
Much, but...
I don't like it at all.
I always knew I'd go in a
Ditch one day.
Everybody does.
But...
Well, this is your day.
You picked a nice day to do it.
Yeah, it could have been in a
Blower at night.
That's right.
Thank you.
Yeah, you're very welcome.
Good-Bye.
That had to be one of the best
Examples of teamwork I ever
Seen was a bunch of us that dug
Ray's truck out of the ditch,
And I was happy I was a part of
It just for that reason.
And ray's in a better mood now.
Well, that's another good thing.
Any opportunity that I could
Have to, you know, not get
Somebody upset or angry at me
Or, you know, any opportunity
I could take to make amends, I'm
Happy to do it.
I mean, why...life's too short
For everybody.
Why be, uh, you know, why have
People being upset with you?
You know, I don't like people
Being upset with me.
Yeah, as far as alex goes,
I gotta admit, I mean, you know,
He cowboyed up.
He got in the ditch with three
Or four other carlile guys and
He started shoveling.
We were all in there, shoveling
Together.
He was a team player right
There, and that was pretty good
Of him, and I was getting pretty
Hard on him there for a while,
So I'll let up too.
I mean, he started it, though.
But, you know, I'll let it go,
And if he wants to wipe a clean
Slate and we can start all over
Again, I'm good with that.
Let bygones be bygones and...
Two hours later...
Hugh rowland makes
It to prudhoe in record time.
Every time I see this yard,
That means a load is complete.
Just like money in the bank.
But on the way up,
One of the heaters has been
Damaged.
I just drop my load, take my
Paperwork in there, and they'll
Figure it out.
Probably the customer will say,
"Well, this one's scratched."
How's it going, billy?
Uh, you're coming right back,
Right?
Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow.
I look forward to you pulling
The same load.
You've got one week left, do
You?
Yeah, seven more days.
Seven more days.
Then I'm back to the wife.
Sit around the pool with a
Pina colada, first couple of
Days.
That's right.
Okay, we'll see you Wednesday.
Thanks.
Thank you, have a good trip.
Yep.
Before anyone
Checks his load...
Hugh's headed south
With load number 12, but it's
Not long before the yard
Supervisor notices a problem.
I'm inspecting a load that
Hugh brought up, 'cause one of
The loader operators brought to
My attention that, uh, there's
Some damaged freight on there.
Loose.
That one's a little loose.
This chain here, holding it to
The trailer should be tight.
You know, that...that's way
Loose.
Great, we got damage.
See, this trailer, due to the
Loose chains and the load not
Being checked, rubbed into the
Exit point to the heater, so now
It's rubbed some of the paint
Off of one of the doors.
It could have chalked the tires
With more dunnage.
It could be a disaster if
Something breaks loose, comes
Off the trailer.
It might fall onto the road and
Hit an oncoming car or...
I thought hugh was an
Experienced trucker.
What hugh didn't do on his way
Up the road, my suspicions is,
You're supposed to stop every
Two hours and check your load.
I don't think he did.
I mean, once he saw that this is
So close up here, this isn't
Good.
I mean, if the customer wants
To, uh, make a claim on the
Paint, we're gonna have to pay
For it, and in turn, hugh's
Gonna have to pay for it.
That's how you do it.
Coming up, ray owns
Up to his mistake.
So what do you think, uh, the
Bosses are gonna say?
And hugh denies making one.
I'll tell 'em to stuff it up
Their ass if they're trying to
Blame me for it.
50 miles south of
Coldfoot, lisa is struggling
To keep her bear cage strapped
Down.
Looks like I got a tail
Dragging there.
Strap 'em up.
Pull over here and tuck it back
In, put her back where it
Belongs.
Yeah.
Damn.
It cut itself on this right
Here.
There was nothing protecting it
From rubbing on that bolt and
Sawing itself in half, so...
Yeah, when I had my load lights
On, I just noticed the tail end,
And I was just gonna tuck it
Back in, and then when I walked
Back there it was halfway
Through, so...
Well, there's only two straps on
It.
There's one in the front,
One in the back.
So if I lose the one in the
Back, I got one strap holding
It.
And it's light enough, but it's
Not secure enough.
With one strap
Damaged, the oversized cage
Could easily be knocked loose
And come crashing onto the road.
Just hoping I can throw that
High.
I'm debating how to do this.
I have an idea.
I just had a brainstorm.
Why is that so stiff?
It's frozen.
All right, that's as tight as
That one's going for me.
Okay, it looks like it's good.
We'll see how she holds.
Hopefully it's cushioning it
Against the bolt that's putting
It in half there.
So I think I'm gonna keep an eye
On this load.
Just five miles
Down the road...
The straps keep falling off.
I'm dragging that [bleep] strap
Again.
I'm dragging that strap again,
So I am gonna have to get out
And fix it.
It just doesn't want to stay
Together.
It's one of those
Pain-In-The-Butt loads.
Like, I don't know what I could!
Do to make this stuff stay.
I'm about ready to bungee this
Thing up.
I hope that holds.
Fighting subzero
Temperatures and broken straps,
Lisa has no choice but to get
Back on the road and hope she
Can deliver before disaster
Strikes.
40 miles north...
Find a place to put this
Thing.
R has arrived
In coldfoot.
Yeah, I went in the ditch.
I look up and I was like,
That's when it sinks in.
Yeah.
"I ain't on the road no
More."
But rumors of his
Crash arrived hours before.
You got photos of it?
Oh, we got tons of photos.
Guys are driving by with their
Cameras.
"Stand there and smile."
Well, the only reason it's
Laughter now is because you
Didn't get hurt.
Yeah.
And, you know, the truck's
Not hurt, and you're not hurt.
That's the only reason we can
Laugh about it now.
Yeah.
Is that that 888?
That's the number right
There.
Any issues.
No [bleep]?
Yeah.
That's how you do it, huh?
That's how I do it.
Used to you'd call anchorage.
Get anchorage to transfer you.
Ray man's up.
Hi, hey, this is
Ray veilleux.
Everybody's fine, everything's
Fine.
Just bent the bumper a little
Bit and broke a moose light off,
And that's about it.
So what do I have to do now?
Got to take a u.A. When I get
In?
All right, that ain't a problem.
Oh.
Then I gotta go have a meeting?
Really?
So that's the new policy?
Really?
Well, it's not like you're
Putting it in the ditch on
Purpose, you kno[?
Yeah.
Well, I didn't damage the truck
Or anything like that.
Didn't even have to get
A wrecker.
It didn't cost anything.
All right.
Yeah, bye.
Tomorrow I got to get in there
Around noontime or so and take
A urinalysis.
And then after that I gotta meet
With tim and a couple other
Bosses in the office, and
They're gonna review my going
Off the road.
So who knows what happens with
That?
Either I get fired or they say,
"Well, get used to it 'cause
You're gonna go off the road
A lot."
Everybody does, but we'll see
What happens tomorrow, you know?
I'll deal with it tomorrow.
Back on the road,
Lisa kelly is still fighting to
Keep her load on the trailer.
What's going on here?
Shoot.
Here we go again.
Why does that strap keep coming
Loose on me?
And falling out?
When towing bear cages, you must
Stop every 50 feet.
Is this thing moving?
Is that what's going on?
I think it is moving.
I don't remember it being on
This morning like that, do you?
Yeah, look how much that slid
Off again.
That's how much it's moved.
Now I've figured out why.
It's already kinda being
Top-Heavy, you know, 'cause
The straps come straight down
It and under rather than, like,
Out or at angles or anything
To hold it.
So it's already so tall and
There's so much...it's so long
That it's got a lot more play in
It, so we want to make sure it's
Good.
It's just that it's so light
And it's sitting on ice.
It's just sliding everywhere.
Trying to devise something
Different.
Lisa's determined
To solve the problem and get
The load to prudhoe unharmed.
Chains handle more than
Straps do.
I could use four chains,
Four binders, just run it up
Through, back down.
I'm hoping I'm getting it good
Enough now that it won't move
Anymore.
I don't want to do a half-Assed
Job.
I mean, it is 14 below.
But if I can just fix it,
Hopefully.
Coming up...
A showdown in fairbanks.
How fast were you going?
I'm guessing probably, like,
30, 35.
Early the next
Morning, lisa is preparing to
Face the toughest hills on the
Haul road.
Well, yeah, they're as tight
As they go, but the chains
Aren't tight, so I gotta back
'Em off and get another link.
If the chains don't
Hold, the bear cage could break
Free, throwing her load off
Balance and sending her truck
Into the ditch.
And the bear cage is being
A pain in the butt.
I got it chained really good.
I got confidence that it's gonna
Hold.
But lisa's struggle
With her load can't compare to
Ray's bad day.
10-4.
What's up, alex?
Oh, nice, nice.
Dig a big hole there?
Well, you probably won't be
Able to see the bottom unless
You've got a pair of
Binoculars.
Yeah, is everybody okay?
You're funny.
Have a good one.
Lisa knows what
Ray's going through.
She's had her share of rumors
And insults.
I understand how hard it is
To drive on this road.
He's doing the best as he can
To fit in.
He's got a lot to learn.
There's some things he doesn't
Know, but he's trying.
Because it's kind of one of
Those sticky situations where
It's hard to ask for help 'c'c'e
People make fun of you, but then
If you don't ask for help, then
People will make fun of you.
So it's kind of both ways.
Finally, lisa pulls
Her load into prudhoe bay.
All season, lisa's been working
To gain respect on the haul
Road.
This load was nothing but
Trouble, and lisa's proved she
Was up to the challenge.
Yeah, the chains...the chains
Did good.
They held it down.
That's the way...that's the way
It's done.
At the other end of
The dalton, hugh rowland's been
Called in to answer for his
Damaged load.
Hey, boss.
Hugh, how we doing?
Not bad. You?
I'm doing okay.
I needed to talk to you about
That load of heaters you took
Up.
I guess billy talked to you in
Prudhoe already?
Nope.
Oh.
I guess two of the heaters,
They must have moved on the
Trailer.
So, you know, they got the
Exhaust ports on them.
Yeah, the two on the front,
I think it was, they moved,
And the one, the exhaust ports
Rubbed on the door of the other
One.
Scratched it?
Eh, yeah, rubbed it pretty
Good.
He took some pictures and sent
Them up to me.
Well, they were tight.
They were tight all the time.
It's a matter of checking the
Load and making sure the chains
Stay tight.
Always.
I checked, like, at hilltop.
Alive and good all the way up,
So no problem.
It's all better.
Yeah, if you notice something
Like that, you know, if you got
Any questions before you pull
Out of the yard, we can always...
But, no, it was good.
I mean, it was just from the
Trailer flexing.
It can do that.
Yeah.
Yeah, whenever in doubt, we can
Fix that before you take off.
Right.
Oh, for sure, yeah.
Okay?
Okay, that's all good then.
All right.
Okay, thanks.
Yeah.
Like I said, it's no concern
Of mine.
I mean, my load was strapped
And tight all the way up there.
It's just too close together...
A matter of being too close
Together and flexing going down
The road.
So whoever loaded it, it's on
Them, so that's basically what
Happens.
Hugh got off easy
With dispatch.
But a damaged load is no small
Problem.
No, we called on hugh, and he
Didn't do it right.
But he chose just to neglect it
And go on his way.
It's unacceptable.
And now the
Carlile brass will be keeping
A close eye on hugh.
Hugh acted like it wasn't
A big deal.
It's a huge deal.
Now he's gonna have to pay for
That.
Just outside of
Town, ray veilleux is headed
In to take a drug test.
Well, I'm headed into
Fairbanks right now.
And gonna drop off the trailer
In the yard.
I got to pee in a cup.
That's the easy part.
And go drop off my paperwork
At dispatch and go meet the
Bosses.
See what happens.
I'll try to walk out of there
With my job, hopefully, so...
And if I lose my job, then I'll
Be knocking at people's doors
Looking for a job,
So that's the way it goes.
One moment of
Distraction could cost him
Everything.
Come in.
Hey.
How you doing, man?
You need to see me?
Uh, yes.
Have a seat.
So sounds like we had an
Incident up there, huh?
Yep.
Where at?
Right on top of ice cut,
Mile marker 325.
Coming south?
Yep.
What happened?
I was heading south, and I
Went and called out "ice cut"
On the c.B.
Ice cut southbound.
Put the mic up.
It didn't hook.
Did it again, didn't hook.
So then I was like...I looked up.
I hooked it.
And the right tire caught the
Soft stuff.
How fast were you going?
I'm guessing probably, like,
30, 35.
Are you okay?
I mean, as far as physically...
Yep, everything's fine.
Just embarrassing.
Yeah.
Most important thing is you
Didn't get hurt.
Don't forget that, okay?
Yep.
And then learn from it going
Forward.
Oh, yeah.
It's just one of those
Things, it only takes a second.
Gotta be lookin'.
Just took my eyes off the road
For a split second, and it was...
To hang the c.B. Up.
Just to hang that mic up.
Okay.
Thanks, ray.
Thanks.
With no damage and
No injuries from the wreck,
Ray got lucky.
Carlile will give him a second
Chance to get back on the road
And keep earning paychecks for
The family back home.
Did all my paperwork.
Took my u.A.
Passed all that.
Everything went pretty good.
Now I gotta bring the truck over
To the shop, and they gotta
Examine the truck to see what
Broke.
Nothing broke.
It's a bent part.
So going to the shop.
Despite the
Accident, ray racked up his
12th load of the season,
And the rookie's persistence
Is paying off with a one-Load
Lead over jack jessee.
But out on ice cut, the haul
Road ace will have the last
Laugh today.
I think he'll get a kick
Outta that.
Next on Ice Road Truckers...
Hugh and ray heat up the haul
Road with a race to the finish.
I'm passing ray.
Back off.
I'm spinning out.
Greg boadwine
Fights to get back on the road.
It's raining a [bleep] storm
Today, and I'm pissed.
And disaster
Strikes jack on one of the
Biggest hauls of the season.
