00:00This time on Highway Through Hell, a loaded lumber wreck has auto grappling a messy
00:20manure tanker takes a turn for Merv and a mystery man
00:29We've had a guy in front of the gate all day long
00:31at Jamie's door
00:33Hello?
00:37How are the roads up there?
00:39In British Columbia, Central Interior
00:41East of Quesnel
00:46You never know what you're going to find on this road, eh?
00:51Runs Highway 26, also known as the Barkerville Highway
00:56Highway 26 is the road to Barkerville
00:59It's one of the biggest historical sites in BC
01:02and a lot of loggings out there
01:04It's also notorious for animal encounters
01:09There's a fair bit of moose and deer
01:12Deer on the road
01:13So you just try to pay attention
01:17Watch out for the moose
01:1975 kilometers down the highway
01:24That's the worst wreck I've seen
01:34A local resident was first on scene
01:37When I saw the logging truck
01:41The driver was standing there on the highway
01:44And I was just thankful that he was standing
01:49Coming in from Quesnel
01:54A 50 ton auto heavy wrecker
01:57A logging truck crashed
01:59And owner operator, Rob Barber
02:02Where the truck crashes
02:04Is kind of a caribou habitat
02:06It's locked across right there
02:08There's the truck
02:1030 feet below the road
02:13A super bee train
02:16Lies buried under its load of logs
02:20You actually can't see the truck
02:22From all the trees that are on top of it
02:24It's a bit of a mess
02:26It's not so nice anymore
02:28It would be quite the pull-off
02:29Because that was bending in there pretty good
02:31What happened there?
02:55On highway 26
02:58There's the truck
03:02Rob faces a fully loaded super bee
03:07Buried in logs
03:09He's just pulling all the wood off
03:12So we can find the truck
03:14To dig out the wreck
03:16And salvage the load
03:17Rob's brought out
03:19A button top loader
03:21With that grapple
03:23He can get four or five sticks at a time
03:25Just way faster
03:26Used in the logging industry
03:32Log loaders are equipped
03:35With a special button top grapple
03:37To easily transfer fallen trees
03:41Helping to secure the transferred load
03:47Is the driver of the wrecked truck
03:50Christopher Webster
03:51Come around the corner
03:53And there was a moose
03:55So I moved over kinda hard
03:58I got into the soft stuff
04:00And it got pretty bad
04:02Happy I'm alive
04:04Last night
04:09With limited visibility
04:10To avoid hitting a moose
04:13To avoid hitting a moose
04:13The fully loaded super bee
04:15Swerved
04:16Plowing through the trees
04:19Before stopping in the ditch
04:21From the amount of damage
04:26From the amount of damage to the truck
04:27And the trees he took out
04:28He's very lucky
04:29That he walked away from that
04:30Rob's concern
04:31Is understandable
04:32Hey, how come Bob?
04:34Because Christopher
04:35Is also his nephew
04:37Once we're done loading
04:39I kinda wanna stay
04:41For the rest
04:41Then I'll get up in there
04:43Yeah, yeah
04:43Christopher
04:44Is my oldest sister's boy
04:46He didn't get hurt
04:47So it's kinda nice
04:48To be out here helping him
04:49Joining the family reunion
04:52Paul's gonna come out
04:53Another of Rob's nephews
04:56And Chris's cousin
04:57Paul Langlois
04:58It is fun to have
05:01Your cousin out there
05:02Your uncle
05:02It's a big family thing
05:04And it's rare
05:07It doesn't happen all the time
05:08How far they got on this?
05:10You got one bunk done
05:11One bunk done?
05:13Ooh, icy
05:14Yeah, that's right
05:15Last winter
05:17Get hooked up to it
05:18Get ready
05:18Paul returned
05:20After some time away
05:21To team up
05:23With his uncle Rob
05:24And younger brother Kyle
05:26Paul
05:27I'm happy
05:28That I can
05:29Be back with the family
05:31Working again
05:31Straight on, buddy
05:32He's done
05:35Two hours
05:37Since the button-top loader
05:38Got to work
05:39Just park on the other side
05:41Of all our trucks
05:42Okay
05:42Enough logs are cleared
05:45Now that the logs are all loaded
05:47Christopher
05:48Get it out of the way
05:49To finally see the wreck
05:52We're gonna disconnect the trailer
05:54And use the button-top
05:56Probably we'll just pick the trailer up
05:57And put it on the road
05:58And then we'll get a better look
06:01At what's left of that truck
06:02Team Auto
06:04Move in
06:05What a mess
06:06Oh, holy moly
06:07To assess the damage
06:10Knowing it's my cousin's vehicle
06:12It does play a different part
06:14It's more of a personal level now
06:17That is family
06:18To remove the trailer
06:21Well, I don't know if there's tension there
06:23Rob enlists the help
06:24Of the button-top operator
06:26Ty Homan
06:28Probably just give that a pop
06:30And I think it'll come off
06:31Okay
06:32Can you drag it?
06:33Yeah, I'll spin it right up here
06:35We'll just use the button-top
06:36To kind of drag the trailer up on the road
06:38Because they're ideal
06:39For this sort of stuff
06:40The log loader's heavy-duty jaws
06:44And swinging arm
06:49Give Rob a unique advantage
06:54On this recovery
06:55That was nice
07:00Yeah
07:01Yeah, there you go
07:04Let's see
07:08Airlines
07:09A careful inspection
07:13This is amazing
07:14Oh, they're both good
07:15Yeah
07:15Reveals the trailer's airlines
07:20Were miraculously spared
07:22In the crash
07:23All the airlines are in good shape
07:25So we can just put air to it
07:26And haul it away
07:27Rob's gonna hook on
07:28Yeah, he'll get it out of the way
07:31We're on a two-lane road
07:33It gets tight
07:34Rob will clear the trailer
07:38So I have to go
07:3930 or 40 kilometers
07:40To find a good pull-out
07:42I can stash it
07:43Rolling
07:43Before they take on
07:45I think you're good
07:46The rest of the wreck
07:48You're gonna have quite a time
07:49Getting him out of there
07:50Okay, thank you
07:52How's the road looking?
08:08680 kilometers south
08:10All traffic
08:12In the Fraser Valley
08:14Yep
08:15Definitely crawling
08:16Highway 1's afternoon rush hour
08:20Is in full effect
08:22It's bumper to bumper
08:24Entering the fray
08:28We've got aggressive
08:28Toying record here
08:29An aggressive rotator
08:31We're gonna head out to
08:33Matz
08:34Wee Flats here
08:34And operator
08:36Chris Merman
08:37Got a customer called us
08:39For this area in particular
08:41It's one of the main thrill fares
08:43And now this is just
08:45High-volume traffic
08:46On this narrow little road
08:48Sitting shotgun today
08:50Bringing little Jaden
08:52It's gonna be my rigger
08:53And we're driving Bertha
08:55Fellow heavy operator
08:57Jaden Dick
08:58I really enjoy working with Merv
09:00He's always willing to help
09:02And teach me
09:03So I can get the job done
09:04But just off the highway
09:06On an alternate commuting route
09:09Holy crap
09:11A tractor hauling manure
09:18Blocking everything
09:19Lies upside down
09:22Closing the road
09:23Emergency crews are on scene now
09:26Yep
09:26Oh my god
09:29Got too close to the edge
09:33And he hit that driveway
09:34You see this tractor
09:36Way up in the air
09:37And the manure wagon underneath it
09:39To do complete upside down
09:41That's amazing
09:42It's pretty confusing
09:43To look at for sure
09:44Come on buddy
09:46Also on scene
09:47Is the owner of the tractor
09:49Give me some torque detention on this
09:53Yeah
09:53That's what I'm thinking right now
09:55Is how do we alleviate
09:56Your tension problem
09:58The hitch for the tractor
10:00Managed to stay all complete
10:01And just turned the coupler
10:02Right upside down
10:03The forces that are on this hitch now
10:06Are going to be interesting
10:08To be able to get it all uncoupled
10:09And separated
10:10Probably have to hold her up
10:12By them pins
10:13We'll grab it
10:13Two spots
10:14Support it
10:15Right
10:15Knock the pin out
10:17I just can't reach it over
10:19Can you
10:19I won't have as good
10:21A control over it
10:22Alright
10:22That's fine
10:22Alright
10:23I'll come back on this side
10:24Yeah yeah
10:25There's no other way around
10:25Staying on this side of the wreck
10:28Is a little bit more cumbersome
10:29Just the angles and everything
10:30To work with the rotator
10:31But with the wreck
10:34Completely blocking the road
10:36Repositioning the rotator
10:39To the opposite side
10:41Will take time
10:42This is the main thoroughfare
10:45To get from the west side of Abbotsford
10:47To the east side
10:47So getting the road back open
10:49Is a big priority
10:51Totally block that side
10:53Eight hours north
10:57Rob's going to be a while
10:59On the Barkerville Highway
11:01Because once he's hooked up
11:03No problem
11:04With no wrecker on sight
11:06Just time
11:07Yeah
11:08Cousins Paul and Chris
11:10Are anxious to get started
11:12With the tractor
11:13Rob's taking the trailer
11:1535 kilometers
11:16To a big enough lot
11:18For us to store the trailer
11:19That's going to take time
11:22If we can grab onto the end
11:23Pull
11:24Once you've got the way
11:26To the front end
11:27We can just place it
11:28Right on the road
11:28Okay
11:29I decided that
11:31I'm going to jump in
11:32And get this job done
11:33As soon as possible
11:34You want to go middle?
11:39Yeah, right there
11:40The challenge on this truck
11:42Is trying to get it
11:43Out of the trees
11:44Using a chain
11:46To the frame
11:47All right
11:48Ty starts lifting
11:51With the button top loader
11:53See if she'll do her
11:55What a mess, man
11:59Holy moly
12:00A big job like this
12:03We don't know the challenges
12:05The loader's going to have
12:07The tractor is almost clear
12:09Of the mess of trees
12:11But the loader
12:12Kind of perched precariously
12:15Here on the bank
12:16With snow underneath me
12:17Is on unstable ground
12:19Frickin' heavy
12:21I can only lift so hard
12:24Or I'll end up
12:25Tipping on top of it
12:26We're maxing out
12:29Off highway 26
12:35Yes
12:36A 25,000 pound tractor
12:40Come on
12:41As big iron
12:43Struggling
12:44Trying to lift
12:46As much as I can
12:47Without teetering myself
12:48Off the bank here
12:49Hours earlier
12:52The fully loaded superbee
12:55Swerved
12:56To avoid hitting a moose
12:58And plowed into the ditch
13:00Now the tug of war
13:04No, I can't swing it
13:06Proves too much
13:08For the button top loader
13:10There's so much
13:11Broke off
13:12And sticking down
13:13Into all that brush
13:14That I can't drag it
13:15Might have to wait
13:17We've got it close
13:19To the edge of the road
13:20I need help
13:21To get this job done
13:22Paul
13:25He's here
13:26Uncle Rob
13:28And his 50 ton
13:29Have returned
13:30Just next time
13:32I can't swing it
13:33Like I need you
13:34To pull it
13:35Yeah
13:36Just keep pulling backwards
13:37He did a pretty
13:38Impressive job
13:39They got it
13:40Out of the trees
13:41So it's easier
13:42To get at now
13:43We just gotta pull it
13:44Straight up the bank
13:45He just picked up
13:46Right behind the shack
13:47And then you're gonna
13:48Hook on the back
13:49Yeah, I'll just hook
13:50On the pin
13:50And it'll come
13:51Okay
13:52With a line
13:57From the 50 ton
13:58To the rear
13:58And the button
14:01And the button top loader
14:02Rigged to a chain
14:03Behind the cab
14:05They'll drag the truck
14:07Onto the road
14:08Good
14:12Okay, we've got the
14:14Big wrecker hooked on now
14:16He's gonna help pull
14:19While I hook on here
14:22Rob leads the charge
14:24With the 50 ton
14:25It's helping by lifting
14:27The front a bit
14:27So it's not dragging so hard
14:29While Ty's log loader
14:32Takes the weight
14:33Keep pulling
14:37That's good
14:43The truck is finally
14:46Out of the ditch
14:47I'll pull that out
14:50With one of my tongs
14:51And just grab this
14:52But it's still far
14:54From road ready
14:55Okay
14:56Try that
14:58Everybody stand back
15:00We gotta clean it up
15:02To make it safe
15:03To go down the road
15:04So we're gonna have
15:04The button top
15:05Just kind of break
15:06A few things off
15:06It'll just make it
15:08Way easier
15:08To try to hook onto it
15:09Okay
15:10I'm gonna make some shrap
15:12Oh yeah
15:19It's hard in there
15:21Woo
15:21Should I go back
15:34Get the deck?
15:35Yeah, maybe
15:35Maybe you might have
15:36Go back together
15:36Now that we've got
15:39The truck on the road
15:40I'm taking the opportunity
15:41To go back to town
15:43And grab the town deck
15:45On the deck
15:46So that I can grab
15:48All the pieces
15:49That have been torn off
15:50The truck
15:50It's on the road now
15:53I'm just gonna get out
15:55Of the way
15:55So they can
15:56Load it onto the low bed
15:57And he can get out of here
15:59To probably walk
16:01To reach the low bed
16:04To reach the low bed
16:04For transport
16:05Get on my tires
16:06They'll need rubber
16:08To hit the road
16:11These are grousers
16:13And they will destroy this pavement
16:15In like no time at all
16:16So I put the tires down
16:18Keep the tracks off
16:20It's spent
16:20The button top
16:24Is loaded on the low bed
16:25Boom
16:26Woo
16:28And hauled away
16:30We gotta focus on
16:32Cleaning up the mess
16:33So we can
16:34Get things off the road
16:36As quick as we can
16:37Paul returns
16:39With the flat deck
16:40To help finish the job
16:42We're gonna put all this stuff
16:45On the deck
16:46In a slick way
16:47Hey
16:48Pretty messy
16:50Nephew Chris
16:52Takes one last look
16:54This thing saved my life
16:56At what could have been
16:58That was kind of
17:04My favorite truck
17:04No I'm gonna miss it
17:07I'll replace it
17:08And get back to work
17:09He'll probably be a little nervous
17:11For the first little while
17:12Driving again
17:12But he's a strong-willed young man
17:15He'll get comfortable
17:16Fairly quickly I hope
17:17The last piece
17:20Is loaded onto the flat deck
17:22Enough
17:23We're on
17:24And it's on its way
17:27Everyone was unharmed
17:29In this incident
17:30So
17:31Can't be thankful enough
17:33Hey
17:34I'm going to town
17:34It was a good day
17:36I gotta hang out with family
17:37And uh
17:39Had a good day at work
17:40She cleared up now
17:42I'm amazed
17:44It opened this path
17:45What's the holdup?
17:50At rush hour
17:51In the Fraser Valley
17:52I want to go home
17:55I'm like
17:55Making care
17:56An upside down manure tank
17:59I wonder if we just drive
18:01From this side
18:02As team aggressive
18:03I got enough boom
18:04That we can stay close to it
18:05Rethinking their strategy
18:08Yeah let's go see
18:09What it looks like
18:09The traffic behind that wreck
18:12Is really backing up
18:13So in order to get around
18:14Would take a long time
18:15Now we're just gonna do it all
18:17From this side
18:17Merv backs the rotator in
18:20As close as he can
18:22To the hitch
18:23What's this tractor weigh?
18:2625,000 pounds
18:28Okay good
18:28Separating the tractor
18:30From the trailer
18:31Just provides
18:32The simpler way
18:33Of getting this job
18:34We'll grab either side
18:36Two lines are hooked
18:39To the rear of the tractor
18:40We don't want to be
18:43Trying to disconnect the hitch
18:44Without supporting the tractor
18:46In some way
18:46See what she does
18:48We're gonna try to relieve
18:50A little bit of stress
18:50And tension on that hitch
18:51With the rotator
18:54Easing up the tractor's
18:5625,000 pounds
18:58Tractor moves
19:00Go whack that pin a little
19:02Diggy
19:02It's now up to Jaden
19:04To disconnect the hitch
19:09Jaden's in a pinch point
19:10For sure
19:10That's not a very friendly
19:12Or nice place to be
19:13There's a lot of tension
19:14On that for sure
19:15I know that's gonna kick
19:18Like a horse though
19:19We don't want to
19:20Have that pin come right out
19:22Go flying
19:22Careful
19:23There'll be a lot of tension there
19:27In the Fraser Valley
19:28Well that's gonna kick
19:31Like a horse though
19:32Disconnecting a 25,000 pound tractor
19:36Suspended in the air
19:38Puts Jaden
19:41In the danger zone
19:43It's a bit of an awkward spot
19:44There's no real way
19:46Of getting it to a nice spot
19:47To hammer on it
19:48But from below
19:51And with a heavier duty tool
19:53The owner pitches in
19:56You can probably hit it
19:59With a pry bar in there now
20:00Oh yeah
20:04She's going
20:04Okay whack that pin
20:10We got the manure tank
20:19Off the back of the tractor
20:20And now it's just
20:23Take the tractor
20:24Place it back on the ground
20:26Okay we're clear to move it
20:32Yeah move her ahead
20:33It's a big win for us
20:35When the owner of the vehicle
20:36Can actually just drive it away
20:39The tractor is cleared
20:40Well let's get this thing
20:42On its wheels
20:42But the 81,000 pound manure tanker
20:49Is still blocking the important route
20:52If we pick it
20:54And we get a grey on that back hoop
20:57And a grey on that front hoop
20:59On that side
20:59And we come underneath
21:01To one point
21:02And we can go up
21:04This is gonna be done in two maneuvers
21:07And then this side we hook here
21:09And then we use the other cable
21:11To let it out
21:13I don't want that tank
21:15To split open
21:16And cover me in cow manure
21:18With two lines to straps
21:24Cradling the fragile sidewalls
21:27They'll first reverse roll
21:30The tanker onto its side
21:32Then they'll move closer
21:35Add a catch line
21:36And gently land it
21:39Onto its wheels
21:40Okay pull
21:44One
21:48We don't want to roll it over
21:51Into a position
21:52Where it would want to go
21:54Into the ditch
21:54Okay grey strap all the way under
22:03Coming this way boys
22:12We just gotta be careful
22:17We'll move slow
22:18Watch yourself buddy
22:23That's what we're looking for
22:26Just no splitting action
22:28And no spreading the manure action
22:30Milk chocolate
22:42Stinky mess that is
23:00It's a beautiful night for a drive
23:0411 kilometers southwest
23:06In Abbotsford
23:07Yeah it's in good shape boys
23:09MSA's 35 ton rolls out to a job
23:14We'll all head out
23:16With Gersimran
23:18Or Sim Banwait
23:19Stepping up this year
23:21We don't want our dad
23:23Working as hard
23:24And doing all the heavy lifting
23:26So he's kind of stepping back now
23:29And letting us do the job
23:32We're just going for a
23:34Flat deck trailer
23:36That's loaded with lumber
23:37He's down the road
23:38From our yard
23:39This is not going to hold
23:42Already on scene
23:44Sim's father
23:45Kerpal
23:45Looking around at the rest of the yard
24:02It doesn't look too bad
24:04But this one spot
24:05Where the trailer was unloaded
24:07Is like quicksand
24:08A closer look
24:10This isn't even lumber
24:11What is this?
24:12Reveals an unusually heavy load
24:15Hardy panel
24:16The load is house siding
24:18It's in an awkward spot
24:20The pair must work fast
24:24To avoid an even bigger problem
24:27Because it's sitting in the 45 degrees
24:30If the belt broke
24:31The load can slide off the trailer
24:34It's easy to lose the load
24:37Just to try to lift it up
24:40A little bit from that end
24:41Butt lifting with the boom
24:43The thing is
24:44The sides of these trailers
24:46Aren't strong at all
24:47Could collapse the trailer
24:51What if we don't even use the chains
24:54Then just the bar
24:55T-bar right underneath
24:56Will take the receivers off
24:58Come from the side
24:59They'll try using the underlift
25:02On the reinforced kingpin plate
25:05That's where all the weight
25:06Of the trailer sits
25:07On the truck anyways
25:09But to get the four foot wide
25:12Underlift in place
25:13From this angle?
25:15They'll need to approach
25:16From the side
25:17Yeah that will be ideal
25:20To level the 44,000 pound trailer
25:24Bring in this angle
25:25So that way we can go further in
25:29To lift the other side up
25:31Sim positions the wrecker
25:36At a 90 degree angle
25:38And as we lift
25:41It'll level itself out
25:43With the underlift
25:45Right below the kingpin
25:47Okay sim
25:48The 35 ton
25:51Carefully raises
25:54The fully loaded trailer
25:56Lots can happen
25:58Load can get damaged
26:00And the trailer can get damaged
26:02The trailer can get twisted
26:04I think that's good
26:07Finally
26:08Out of the soft ground
26:09Do you want to stick
26:10Some blocks here?
26:12They need to find a way
26:14For it to stand on its own
26:16Yep
26:17Now can throw some
26:18Wood blocks underneath
26:20The landing gear
26:21So it doesn't sink back down
26:22But working
26:25Under the suspended trailer
26:27Is risky
26:28This trailer's loaded
26:31And it's heavy
26:31I'm kind of sketched out
26:34As I'm trying to get
26:34Some blocks underneath
26:36And so
26:37I'm gonna get in there
26:39Quickly
26:39Do what I need to do
26:40And then get away
26:41Yep
26:42Get coming down
26:44I'm hoping that this wreck
26:50Doesn't break the wood
26:52That's good
26:59On a farm
27:01In Abbotsford
27:02Can you drop it?
27:0644,000 pounds
27:07Of house siding
27:09Cover on
27:10Has MSA
27:13Feeling the weight
27:14Okay
27:18Bring your truck
27:19So now he's going to
27:22Hook it up
27:24We have to do this quicker
27:26Otherwise the landing gear
27:27Is going to be sunk
27:28Into the ground again
27:29The tractor moves in
27:32Yeah he's good
27:34Connects to the trailer
27:36He's got her
27:37The trailer's hooked up now
27:40So it's all good
27:40It doesn't look like
27:41It's twisted or anything
27:42And drives out of harm's way
27:45I'm feeling great
27:47Because the truck
27:48Is hooked up to the trailer
27:49But we are not done yet
27:52The shifted load
27:55Could fall off the side
27:58So now we are going to
28:00Flip these receivers over
28:01And try to
28:03Push the load
28:04We have to push the load back
28:07So it will be stable
28:11Using dunnage
28:13And the 35 tons underlift
28:15Again
28:16The load is pushed
28:18That's good
28:21Back into place
28:22All good?
28:23Yeah man
28:24The driver's able to
28:27Go deliver his load
28:28Done deal
28:29Same is learning
28:32And he has better ideas
28:34Than I do
28:35So I can step back
28:37I'm so proud of that
28:39Tonight went very well
28:41My dad's getting older
28:43He can still do the work
28:44And he loves it
28:46But I just want to
28:48Have him relax more
28:50And take that weight
28:51Off his plate
28:52Yeah, just another day
28:54In the life of MSA
28:56Is this open yet?
29:0315 minutes northeast
29:05On Township Line Road
29:07Still closed
29:08Team Aggressive
29:10Is recovering
29:11A leaky manure tanker
29:13I don't want to alarm you
29:15I'm really starting
29:16To smell around here
29:17There's been
29:19Some good damage
29:20It's allowing
29:24The manure to spill out
29:26Now
29:26The first section
29:29Of the roll
29:29Is completed
29:30Beauty
29:31For the second part
29:32Of our roll
29:33We're catching it
29:33With the third line
29:34In order to slow it down
29:35Set it on the ground
29:36Nice and easy
29:37Okay buddy
29:38Pull your weight
29:38And it prevents
29:42The chance
29:42Of it rupturing
29:43And spilling more
29:44Contents all over the road
29:45We're hooked
29:47With a third catch line
29:52In place
29:53The rotator
29:54Will gently roll
29:55The tanker
29:56Onto its wheels
29:58Okay buddy
29:59Let the festivities begin
30:01Lifting on one side
30:08And controlling the roll
30:12On the other
30:13Merv
30:16Gets the touchdown
30:24Good job buddy
30:27The cost of the equipment
30:29And professionalism
30:30To add the extra catch line
30:31It looks way better
30:32Than just slamming it
30:33To the ground
30:34A quick re-rig
30:36Yep
30:37And the tanker
30:40Is swung back
30:41Onto the road
30:42And Mervyn
30:44What's for dinner
30:45Yeah
30:46Cow manure
30:48With local traffic
30:51Backed up
30:52Let's get the road open
30:53Priority is to clear
30:56The tanker
30:56From the roadway
30:57Is it going in the farm
30:59Yeah
31:00Yeah
31:00It's going on the second
31:00Driveway
31:01About 150 feet from here
31:02Yeah
31:03Okay
31:03The owner wants it
31:06In the farmer's property
31:07Right adjacent to us
31:08And then we can deal
31:09With it over there
31:10Unable to move on its own
31:12They chain a tractor
31:14To the back
31:15And a loader
31:18To the front
31:19And escort the manure tanker
31:27Back to his yard
31:30Is it open or what's going on
31:35Ninety minutes after the crash first occurred
31:38We gotta go boys
31:40He's opening the road
31:41Traffic is flowing again
31:43Rolling through then
31:44Woohoo
31:45But the job
31:47Is far from over
31:49We have to get this thing
31:50Out of the farmer's yard now
31:51Look at the little baby cow
31:58Baby cows
32:00Ew
32:02Don't bite me
32:03Merv
32:06Has to deal
32:07With the incapacitated tanker
32:10It was rolled over
32:12And it is no longer operational
32:13Oh
32:15I see a little bed
32:16For us to haul it away
32:19We're just going to put it on a low bed
32:20I'll probably grab
32:21Each rail on either side
32:23On that hitch again
32:24We'll come around the tank up
32:26With the two graze
32:27Some of the lifting points
32:30On the top of this manure tank
32:32Were actually damaged
32:33In the rollover
32:34We're going to have to use
32:37Two straps and some chain
32:38To grab the frame
32:39Mmm
32:39Cow manure
32:41Ech
32:48Ech
32:49It's flinging poo
32:51This is not your most enjoyable wreck
32:54For sure
32:55Rigging in place
32:57All right
32:58Merv starts the lift
33:00This thing was completely upside down
33:03And it would be a very poor situation
33:05To find out that it did have
33:07Some structural damage
33:08Coming this way boys
33:09We're a little bit nervous about it
33:11Do you see?
33:13We're not guaranteed it's going to make it
33:15But
33:15Oh boy
33:16On a farm in Abbotsford
33:22We're gambling a little bit
33:24Aggressive's 35,000 pound wreck
33:28Hangs in the balance
33:30We don't want anything
33:34Coming apart
33:35During a lift
33:36With the damaged tanker
33:38Suspended in the air
33:39All right
33:40Get lined up with her
33:41The low bed
33:43Makes its move
33:44Pretty tight area
33:46We're working in
33:47We don't want to
33:48Hit anything
33:49We're working around the baby cows
33:51So we want to be careful of them too
33:52Positioned under the tanker
34:12Somebody push one way
34:14And one guy push the other way
34:16And we'll get her lined up
34:16With the trailer
34:17And I'll just keep booming down for now
34:18The team makes final adjustments
34:21You can't be just going down the road
34:25With this thing hanging off the side
34:27And causing more dangers to the public
34:29Ta-da
34:33Okay
34:37Chain her down
34:38Our crew has been around the block a few times
34:43We got this down pat pretty good
34:44Walk in, hook it up
34:47Pick it up
34:47Put it down and we all drive away
34:49I can't believe how good that went
34:53Didn't get covered in manure either
34:57Okay
35:00Let's move on
35:03Learned a few tips and tricks
35:06From Irv
35:07Oh man
35:08I got to pet some cute baby cows
35:12So it was a good day
35:13Utterly fantastic
35:18The next day
35:30In Hallwood
35:31There's a visitor
35:33At the Jamie Davis yard
35:35You're at the front gate
35:39Okay
35:41We'll buzz you in
35:42So we've had a guy
35:50Like standing
35:51Literally on the road
35:52In front of the gate
35:53All day long
35:53He's piquing my interest
35:56A little bit
35:56So at least we should sit down
35:59And you know
36:00Talk to him
36:01Hello
36:02How are you Jamie?
36:05You've been outside the gate all day
36:06Yeah
36:07I really want to work for you
36:08Really?
36:09My name is Maxim Chamberlain-Norman
36:11And I'm 23 years old
36:13Oh yeah
36:14I want too much
36:15Oh yeah
36:15I'm Jamie
36:16What's your name?
36:17I'm Maxim Chamberlain-Norman
36:18Maxim has travelled across the country
36:21I'm from Camelton, New Brunswick
36:24Long way from here
36:26To pursue his dream
36:28Come on in
36:29I'll buy you a coffee
36:30Or a hot chocolate
36:31Well I'm really happy to see Jamie
36:35Because it's my dream
36:36To work for Jamie
36:38I was seven years old
36:41When I knew I wanted to work for you
36:43And now
36:43You were seven?
36:44Yeah
36:45God I'm that old
36:45Am I that old?
36:48And now I'm here
36:49Wow
36:50I just can't believe the story
36:52It actually is kind of amazing really
36:55Like you know
36:57You just come right across the country
37:00You leave your hometown
37:01I get emails every day
37:03From people wanting jobs
37:05And I appreciate it
37:06That they're thinking of coming to work here
37:08But this is different
37:10You don't have people banging down the door
37:12Coming to apply for a job
37:13And what did you drive?
37:14A flatbed?
37:15Yeah a flatbed
37:16Yeah
37:16Hmm
37:17But I got to start somewhere
37:19Yeah
37:20You got a point there
37:21This is my dream
37:22And I really want it
37:23I just follow my dream
37:25That's all I have in life
37:27You know
37:28My first instinct is to say
37:30No I don't know you
37:31I don't know where you come from
37:32Right?
37:34Yeah
37:34We don't really need anybody else at this point
37:38We don't really know who you are
37:40And we're not really hiring people right now
37:42That came a long way
37:45And I'm scared
37:47He's going to say go home
37:49This place is hard work
37:51And it's not easy
37:53You have to be strong up here
37:55I am
37:56And physically strong
37:57Yeah
37:58Max is a young guy
37:59And he seems eager
38:00And that's one thing
38:02I don't really see
38:03In young people these days
38:05We'll give you a shot
38:08You came a long ways
38:09You know
38:10He really reminds me of myself
38:13Quite a bit in the younger days
38:15So welcome aboard
38:16Thank you Jimmy
38:17I'm pretty happy
38:20It's my dream
38:22Okay let's go down back
38:24I'm going to give you a bit of a test
38:25Before we send him out on the road
38:27We have to put him through the paces
38:28A little bit here
38:29To just see and assess where he's at
38:31Take this tow truck right now
38:33Right
38:34We're going to do a little test run
38:36For the cross country job seeker
38:38So you told me that you've driven
38:40Wrecker before
38:41Flatbed
38:42Only flatbed
38:42You only did a flatbed
38:43Yeah
38:44I never did something like that
38:45This is where the rubber meets the road
38:49So have you done dollies?
38:52Dollies?
38:53No
38:53You haven't done dollies?
38:54No
38:54I'm not quite sure he has the experience
38:58He's advertised
39:00Okay
39:01It's going to be new for me
39:02Now I want to give you a bit of a test
39:07At Jamie's yard in Hope
39:09So you told me that you've driven
39:11Wrecker before?
39:12Flatbed
39:12Only flatbed
39:13You only did a flatbed?
39:14Yeah
39:14I never did something like that
39:16A job seeker's dream
39:18Okay
39:19It's going to be new for me
39:20Is within reach
39:22Max tells me that he's been on a flatbed
39:26So a wrecker's probably a little bit tougher for him to work on
39:30Okay
39:31Well jump in this truck
39:32But I'm sure he can work his way through the problems
39:36Back into that white car there
39:39Yeah
39:40Take it up by the back end
39:41Put the dollies on the front end
39:42And then I want you to go drive around
39:44Go back
39:45Turn around
39:45And back in straight in here
39:46Okay?
39:47Perfect
39:47I'm there to learn
39:49So let's see what I can do
39:51We'll see what's what here
39:54It's one thing to talk the talk
39:56Another thing to walk the walk
39:58When you're at your dream
40:00You don't want to mess up
40:02I need to show that I can do it
40:04So put your arms on your L-arms
40:13You've got to really give it up
40:15Yep
40:20Done
40:21Next one
40:21Trucks are $280,000
40:25To go pick up somebody's $100,000 car
40:29This is a big responsibility
40:31Okay
40:32That's okay
40:33So now
40:33I'm going to make sure it's straight
40:35So we have to make sure
40:38That he can do what he says he can do
40:39Now what you've got to worry about
40:41Is
40:42You're going to put this in here
40:44But I'm going to tell you something
40:45You see this
40:45See how we're lifting the car up
40:47Yeah
40:48There's a lot of pressure under here
40:49Right
40:50Now the first one
40:51Oh it's not so bad
40:53Right
40:53I like to do what I can
40:56To mentor other guys
40:57And pass on whatever tricks I know
40:59Maybe a bigger car
41:01You get way more pressure under here
41:04Okay
41:04Okay
41:05So realize the pressure that's in here
41:07Okay
41:08So there you go
41:10Boom
41:10You're in
41:11And then do the other ones
41:13Probably the best training you can get
41:15Okay
41:16Now your dollies are done
41:18And it's hands-on experience
41:21Hands-on training
41:22So I want you to go drive around the yard here
41:25Do a loop
41:25Come back in the yard
41:27Go up there
41:28Back down
41:29Right
41:29Come back
41:30And then back it in over there
41:31Okay
41:32Slow and steady will win the race
41:39I know I can drive
41:40But wind is not your stuff
41:42It's kind of stressful
41:44He doesn't have to be
41:48Overnight learning things
41:50You know
41:50But I want to know that he's competent
41:52Dead straight back
41:55Yeah right in like that
42:00After this initial test here
42:03Okay
42:04I know where he's at
42:05You know I think you did pretty good
42:09I think that you're not as experienced
42:15It's pretty clear that he's never done a dolly job
42:17And he hasn't run this piece of equipment before
42:19The biggest thing for me here
42:22Is that Max has a good attitude
42:24And he's willing to learn
42:26It's kind of scary when it's your first time
42:30But it is a learning experience
42:32And then we'll get those dollies in
42:34Okay
42:35Perfect
42:35You did pretty good
42:37Even you're backing around and stuff
42:39He's not ready to go on his own right now
42:41But we can train him
42:43We can work with him
42:44All right
42:45Good job
