NARRATOR: Tonight on "Ice Road Truckers--" Lisa is stranded.
They don't have food in this camp.
And so I've been living off the food in this truck.
NARRATOR: Maya is stuck.
Dude, I'm like, totally stressed with him behind me.
NARRATOR: Between two haul road egos--
I'm not going to sit here and kiss your ass.
You're just a disrespectful dude.
NARRATOR: And Rick finally snaps.
You [bleep] my truck like that again, I'll [bleep] kill you.
[theme music]
NARRATOR: For four days, the relentless arctic storm
has battered Alaska's north slope.
In Prudhoe Bay, there's no loads coming in,
and no loads going out.
Oh, my god.
I can't get my window down.
NARRATOR: Leaving Lisa Kelly stranded.
I've been snowed in for--
what, three days now?
And haven't even gotten out of bed or my pajamas
for 2 and 1/2 days.
They don't have food in this camp.
And so I've been living off the food in this truck.
And everybody at the camp here hasn't had access
to food, either.
I was going to show you what I do when I'm bored and stuck
in a storm, but--
playing with the camera, I guess,
is what I do when I'm bored and stuck in the storm.
I've got a keyboard to, like, learn some songs on.
Oops.
But I really can't play worth a crap, so.
[simple keyboard playing]
Whatever happens, happens.
It's hard to have any other attitude than that right now.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: 500 miles south in Fairbanks--
Good morning, the Michael Duke Show.
Welcome to it.
Weather forecast coming up right now from the Weather Service
looking like partially sunny skies, light winds
and temperatures in the zero degree mark.
NARRATOR: After four days of blizzards,
the storm is finally breaking.
And the DOT scrambles to reopen the road.
It's in bad shape.
So we're here to help these guys out and get them moving
and get up the road and get it cleaned up for them, get them
on their way.
NARRATOR: At the Carlile yard, Dave Redmon
is ready to get back on the road.
Go in and check with dispatch to see what
he's got for me to do today.
What's up, Mark.
Morning, Dave.
How are you?
We're going to start launching drivers.
We're going to put a group of you out first.
So there you go.
There's your grocery VIN.
Now, my plan is to have you, Tony, and Maya running out.
You guys are going to be the first horses out of the barn
today.
NARRATOR: Dave will be part of a convoy bringing food
and supplies to snowbound Prudhoe Bay.
They're running out of food.
They're running out of fuel.
So you know, these are probably the most wanted trailers
that have gone up in a while.
NARRATOR: For Maya, the convoy will
be her first run behind the wheel of her own truck.
But the 475 horsepower Kenworth T800
is a far cry from the powerful 18 speed rig she trained on.
It's a cute truck.
Not exactly bad ass like I want.
But you gotta start somewhere.
This pickup on this load is something that they need up
in Prudhoe Bay right away.
A lot of people are snowed in up there.
And there's a ton of snow.
And they need vehicles to get around.
NARRATOR: By 9:00 AM, Maya and Dave are locked, loaded
and ready to roll.
But they can't go anywhere until convoy leader Tony Molesky
shows up.
I guess I'll just sit here and wait.
NARRATOR: But it's not the first time Dave's had enough of Tony.
You're on my ass nonstop.
I mean, I can't even turn into a [bleep] parking lot without you
over there.
I feel like I'm [bleep] eight years old
over here, driving a [bleep] Big Wheel.
Tony's the type of person that just
wants people to wait for him.
Nothing moves unless Tony's here.
And if Tony's supposed to be here at 8:00,
Tony'll show up at 10:30.
NARRATOR: Half an hour later, Tony finally arrives
to go over the game plan.
Ready to rock and roll?
Yeah.
I think we're the first three out of the door, here.
I don't think anybody's been north in like, two or three
days, so.
I guess we just shoot for as far as we can go.
Check on things at Coldfoot.
That's the plan. I'm ready to roll.
Let's get the hell out of here.
NARRATOR: Before they hit the road,
Tony tries to bury the hatchet.
I don't know.
I'll just kind of hang back--
I want you to know where I'm coming from though, man.
DAVE REDMON: I understand where you're coming from.
- Do you really? - Yes.
You're pissed because I [bleep] pissed in your sandbox.
Yeah.
You disrespected me in my truck.
We're not going to mesh. We're not going to make it.
We're not. We're not.
Because you're wanting me to come over here and grovel.
Just be respectful, man.
You're just a disrespectful dude.
But you're the only one that says I'm disrespectful.
Then why are you doing this to me?
I'm not.
I'm trying to stand here and talk to you.
But you're just sitting there--
you're looking for something.
I'm not.
You're sitting there waiting for me to just say,
OK, dude, I'm sorry.
No.
OK.
It's not going to happen.
I'm not going to deal with a disrespectful person.
OK. That's fine.
- That's my choice. - All right.
OK. That's not a problem.
Typical [bleep].
NARRATOR: With bad blood still simmering,
the convoy rolls north.
TONY MOLESKY: He's disrespectful on the road, you know?
And it takes a respectful guy to drive up here.
I'm just doing the best.
I am doing the best I can with what I've got
to work with here, you know?
Trying to stay really positive, but it's--
kinda difficult.
Tony's not out to make anybody else happy.
And he's wearing on my last nerve.
We're gonna get our asses up to Prudhoe as fast and as safe
as we can.
NARRATOR: 2,600 miles east, in the wilds
of Northwestern Ontario--
[horn]
We're lost.
NARRATOR: Rick Yemm and Hugh Rowland
are lost is an uncharted no man's land.
Well, that's going to be four hours
we're losing today alone there, just
with this little wrong turn.
NARRATOR: They're hauling fuel tanks to the remote outpost
of Muskrat Dam.
We're regrouping here.
And I'm looking--
NARRATOR: And they've been lost not once, but twice,
on roads that only exist for a few months a year.
I say we just--
hey, I got an idea.
Let's just drive around.
We [bleep] up again.
The wrong way.
NARRATOR: Now, it's double jeopardy as they backtrack over
a seven mile lake they just crossed.
When you're on an ice road, anything can happen, right?
Anything can [bleep] happen.
You'll get certain sections of ice that are just
the minerals in the water, it freezes a brighter blue color
than--
or you don't have any snow cover and you can see it.
There's some.
It's freaky.
Part of the trick is not caring.
If you cared about it, you'd have yourself a nervous [bleep]
breakdown.
I know Hugh is cool as a cucumber in there.
He don't give a [bleep].
You know, you don't have enough time to worry about it when
it happens, so.
If it happens, then you can't stop it.
You're not going to swim out.
You're not going to do any of that, so.
Cars sink slow.
Trucks, with all this weight, they sink so fast,
you couldn't jump for hard ice or nothing.
I'd ride her to the bottom, have a good look around,
and then open the window.
You're dying anyway, so.
Might as well have a good look at the bottom of the [bleep]
lake that you're in.
Like I always said, you got to respect the ice or somebody
dies.
[horn]
NARRATOR: Hugh and Rick reach the store.
RICK YEMM: Yes sir, we're off the lake.
NARRATOR: But they're still 100 miles from their destination.
It's OK.
We'll get her back.
Just make a longer day out of it.
Now, you go down the wrong road enough,
you'll eventually find where you're going.
It's just if you're going to run out of fuel or not.
NARRATOR: 100 miles north of Fairbanks, Tony, Maya and Dave
convoy crucial supplies to storm-ravaged Prudhoe Bay.
You know, they're running out of food up in Prudhoe.
We've got to get these loads up there, you know,
as quick as we can.
They need this load yesterday, actually, but.
The road was so bad that we couldn't even take it up
yesterday.
NARRATOR: They're running behind schedule thanks
to Tony's late start.
These loads are a priority, you know.
But apparently, nothing is a priority to Tony.
You know, Tony comes in when Tony wants.
So now we're stuck with him up front.
Convoying is-- it's a smart thing to do with ride somebody
else on this road.
And it's really important to be with somebody else.
But when you're convoying with more than one person,
it gets a little crazy, but--
we're making it work.
DAVE REDMON: You know, Maya's got a real light load, so.
She's just going way too slow down the hills as far as--
me needing to get rolling, because I--
RADIO: Hey.
I've got so much weight on that it's just
hard to hold this thing back.
He's way too [bleep] close.
What's [bleep] wrong, Maya?
NARRATOR: Still adjusting to an unfamiliar truck,
Maya is taking it slow.
You probably needed to take this load today rather than
that one.
You know, the three of us are running together here.
And it's really important to give each other a little bit
of room.
It's always good up here to not be following too close.
And, uh.
You know, keep your distance from the guy in front of you,
or the gal in front of you.
He's following way too close.
I mean, you don't even follow that close on pavement.
You're going to follow that close on [bleep] ice?
Give me [bleep] enough room between us.
Well, I got [bleep] 80,000 pounds and I'm trying
to [bleep] stay away from Maya.
But she's coasting down the hills
at [bleep] 15 miles an hour.
Dude, I'm like totally [bleep] stressed with him behind me.
I don't like it.
RADIO: Maya?
What's up?
Oh, not much.
I just-- I wonder if we ought to let Dave get around up here.
I mean, this being that it's your first trip,
it would really be nice to let you take your time
and do your thing without having to worry about holding anybody
up, you know.
Yeah, it's on me.
He's pretty close most of the time.
And that's on my mind.
TONY MOLESKY [RADIO]: Yeah, exactly.
This isn't his first trip, you know?
Well, if you're comfortable with that, Dave,
you might as well get out in front.
That works for me.
I'm going to let him get around soon.
It'll make everybody's life a little easier.
NARRATOR: Instead of sliding in behind Tony,
Dave leaves the convoy in the dust.
Damn, this is just-- this is just craziness, this man.
I'm not really interested in if they think I'm a team player
or not.
I don't care.
You know, I did him a favor by running up and leaving.
I just want to go down the road.
I want to get my job done.
And just basically be left alone.
NARRATOR: By day's end, Dave rolls into Coldfoot alone.
Well, we finally made it to Coldfoot.
The parking lot's kinda empty right now, so.
That's kind of good for us.
At least now we've got a place to park
and we go get something to eat, anyways.
You know, if we take off again in the morning
and we're all piled up, you know, running in a convoy,
I'll probably just pass them up and leave them.
I've got things to do.
NARRATOR: At daybreak-- the clear skies have finally
reached Prudhoe Bay.
And for Lisa, four days of hibernation
have finally come to an end.
Looks like a beautiful day.
And I don't know if it's time to leave yet,
but it's time to go and see if I can leave.
So I can finally move from this spot.
It'll take a while to get everything warmed up.
NARRATOR: Lisa heads over to the Prudhoe Bay dispatch,
hoping to pick up a backhaul for the trip south.
How you doing?
What I'm going to have you take out of here,
this reefer is loaded with Anchorage and Kenai backhaul.
And we need to get it going south.
Is it heavy? Because I don't--
It's not heavy.
It's about 12, 6.
It's going to be such a madhouse.
And they just want it to be controlled chaos.
I got a reefer van today.
And it's hot to get to Anchorage.
We're going to try to keep this show on the road,
just keep things moving.
NARRATOR: After four days trapped in her truck,
Lisa is finally back on the road.
All those truckers that were stuck in Prudhoe,
we were using fuel and food.
We were just consuming it, but not bringing them
any renewable sources.
So we were down to the last two or three days worth of food.
And Prudhoe Bay is so dependent on this road and us truckers.
So we're hoping these trucks, it's
just going to be this insane, mad rush up the road
to get everybody resupplied.
NARRATOR: Back in Canada--
Hugh and Rick's long journey through two provinces
has grown longer after getting lost for the second time.
Well, it said Round Lake, so we took it.
But that meant the town of Round Lake, not the [bleep]
lake of Round Lake.
Hopefully, we can snag a backhaul up here,
and it'll make up for lost time.
NARRATOR: Finally-- they reach their destination.
We made it into Muskrat Dam here.
Turn and burn right here.
Trucks on the Dalton, they don't do [bleep] all.
Here, we got to do what we do.
We load our loads.
We strap our loads.
We have to unload our loads.
Go back more.
NARRATOR: Using a front loader and gravity, Hugh and Rick
remove the 25 ton diesel tanks.
We got her.
You can just sign delivered.
We made it, anyway.
And we got unloaded in pretty much record time.
But we didn't get a backhaul this time.
No luck there.
But we figured we'd better get out of Dodge
while the getting's good.
NARRATOR: But just when it looks like the bad luck
is behind them--
In Muskrat Dam, Ontario--
I didn't make it, Hugh.
HUGH ROWLAND [RADIO]: [bleep]
Trailer slid right in the ditch, man.
NARRATOR: Rick's run of bad luck just got worse.
Distracted driving.
Rick can be a very good driver if he wants to be.
But he's got to learn to slow down.
Everything he does, he's in a mad rush.
Everything he is, he's in a hurry.
And I keep telling him, slow down
and you won't have a problem.
Hey, you want to just give my trailer a pull up out
of the ditch there?
Right on, man.
NARRATOR: Fortunately for Rick, some heavy duty help
is on hand.
Soft shoulder got my trailer.
Well, the load's delivered and we're
getting the hell out of Dodge. We couldn't get a backhaul.
NARRATOR: Back in Alaska--
at the Coldfoot truck stop--
[bleep].
Man.
NARRATOR: Dave has been ordered to reconnect with fellow convoy
drivers Tony and Maya.
And he's not happy about it.
DAVE REDMON: Yeah.
There's loads that need to go.
And you know, this isn't my day to babysit them.
I've got to get going down the road.
Seems like we're always sitting around, waiting for Tony.
We were supposed to leave at seven
Tony gets up whenever the [bleep] Tony wants.
Do you think I have to chain up today or what?
It's pretty damn cold out.
Let's go find-- let's just go check it out.
All right.
If the road's good, man, it's up to you.
It's your call.
If the road's good and it's still 20 below,
I'm not chaining up. TONY MOLESKY: Let's try.
Let's try. Yeah.
OK. Cool.
Sounds good.
TONY MOLESKY: We'll talk about it later.
All right.
All right.
See ya later.
All right.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: By 9:00 AM, the convoy heads north.
I guess Tony is running up front.
I got Maya up here in front of me.
And I guess I'm bringing up the rear, as usual.
Being held up by everybody is my middle name.
It's a beautiful day here.
And we get to head up to Prudhoe Bay, finally,
and get people what they need.
DAVE REDMON: Well, day number two of this
convoy and we just left Coldfoot.
NARRATOR: But once again, Dave's impatience
gets the best of him.
Dave's not really road friendly right now.
I don't like traveling with people who rush me,
or drive too close to the back of me.
It's just not enjoyable.
DAVE REDMON: We've got to get our asses up to Prudhoe.
We'll just worry about us and worry about our trailer
and our freight.
And get up to Prudhoe as fast as we can.
NARRATOR: But Dave doesn't wait for an invitation to pass Maya.
Dave puts the pedal to the metal and ditches the convoy again.
OK, yeah, maybe we should start communicating here.
I don't like that.
[bleep].
Princess Tony don't like it.
Last time I checked, Tony wasn't in charge of [bleep]..
He sure seems to act like he's in charge of everything.
You have no--
like, driving etiquette whatsoever,
and you were driving for 25 years?
And you do not drive like that.
Really no sense in driving slow on purpose.
You know, I'm not going to babysit those two behind me.
I'm just going to get on up the road and do what I need to do.
Carlile is not going to be too happy with that.
You don't do that.
And you don't especially don't do that to people you
work with.
Bottom line, he does not give a [bleep] about anybody.
And I don't think that works up here.
NARRATOR: 50 miles south of Prudhoe Bay,
after four days stuck in the snow, Lisa's truck
is struggling to get back in action.
It was like, up to 33 degrees.
And the wind was howling.
So I mean, it was like, above the melting point for a while.
Now it's 20 below.
And so everything was like, melting and then freezing.
So everything, it feels like, blah,
it just does not want to work.
The trucks, the trailers.
NARRATOR: As Lisa rolls south, she pumps her trailer's brakes
to melt any snow that has accumulated around her brake
pads.
It's just going to dry these out.
Because I literally-- I can't even
see the back of the trailer at all.
It's just buried in snow dust, so.
You definitely know that snow dust is going into the brakes.
I've done it twice now where I've forgotten to dry them off.
And it's gotten me into pretty close situations there.
So.
I'm trying to think ahead.
I'm trying to be one step ahead here.
What you gotta do, is you drag them
and it causes friction, which causes heat.
And when you get enough heat going on,
that's when it melts it out.
You know, stepping on the brakes,
using my brakes-- what do they say, if you don't use them,
you lose them?
So I'm going to keep using my brakes.
NARRATOR: But pumping her brakes is causing bigger problems.
I've got a flat tire.
Whoa.
NARRATOR: Just an hour into Lisa Kelly's run to Anchorage--
LISA KELLY: Whoa.
I got a flat tire.
I'm going to check these tires out.
Uh-oh.
I'm not going anywhere on a flat tire.
NARRATOR: Lisa was pumping her brakes,
hoping to melt the snow on her pads.
But the constant pressure blew a tire.
LISA KELLY: But they were rolling when I left the yard.
And trying to dry my tires out, maybe one got hung up somehow
and drug it out.
That sucks, dude.
NARRATOR: 50 miles out of town, Lisa will head back
to Prudhoe Bay for repairs.
Now, I'm just going to limp this thing back.
And I couldn't see my tires back there
going through those snowdrifts.
And I'm not making excuses.
I promise to take full responsibility
for what happened.
It seems like every mistake is a series of wrong things.
I'm always learning a lesson from one thing.
It was like one extreme to another.
I've got to find my happy medium.
Thank you kindly.
I was trying to dry my brakes out
and I guess I did a damn good job.
I overdid it.
NARRATOR: After four days snowbound and one last delay,
Lisa is finally headed home.
I'm trying to make it to Coldfoot tonight.
It's one of those things where I'm just
going to go as far as I can through the night.
Just going to-- just gotta drive, you know.
Four days cooped up in this thing
is pretty treacherous when the wheels aren't turning.
I love my truck, but, oh my gosh.
There is a limit.
NARRATOR: 175 miles south, the convoy is down to two trucks.
Northbound, starting up the pass.
NARRATOR: And headed into Atigun Pass.
Let's see if we can keep you out of trouble.
Sounds good.
It's all about being in the right gear.
You don't want to use your brakes.
If you lock up on the pass, you're
probably going to go over.
Because I can't see how a guardrail like
this would stop you.
NARRATOR: Maya's new truck is much less powerful than the one
she trained on.
RADIO: Southbound down the pass.
NARRATOR: And Atigun Pass will put the truck and the driver
to the test.
TONY MOLESKY [RADIO]: We'll just take it slow and easy
and we'll take our time.
NARRATOR: But as they reach the summit, they face a new danger.
TONY MOLESKY: Wow.
This whole face looks like it's fixing to go.
There is a lot of snow up there.
And you can see, over to the left,
there's already four slides.
NARRATOR: The four day blizzard has piled wet and dry snow
in unstable layers.
Now, the slightest disturbance could send it
all crashing down.
Snow has really built up a lot on top of these mountains
and from the storm that just passed.
So avalanches are constantly coming down.
NARRATOR: Finally--
Well, we made it down the pass.
No problems today.
Always have to stayed focused driving this road.
Always.
I mean, you never know what's going to happen minute
to minute.
She's really doing good.
She's got a natural ability to think.
I think she's a good thinker.
That's what it takes up here.
NARRATOR: 2,600 miles east, after a long, troubled trip
to Muskrat Dam--
RICK YEMM: Strap broke itself.
We don't want that tank to fall off.
It's full of diesel.
We're lost.
Didn't make it, Hugh.
NARRATOR: Hugh and Rick are finally headed back
to Winnipeg.
You did get your paperwork signed, did ya, Rick?
Oh, [bleep].
No, I didn't.
They don't even have a copy of my [bleep] paperwork.
[bleep].
NARRATOR: No signed paperwork means no paycheck.
RICK YEMM: God, I can't even find paperwork in this [bleep]
truck with all the [bleep] I got in here.
You don't have the paperwork, you
don't get paid for the load.
So get your [bleep] paperwork.
Mark it down, every load in your book.
Have a separate book.
Mark every load you take.
NARRATOR: After three days lost in the maze of winter roads,
Rick's got to backtrack 50 miles to Muskrat Dam
and get his papers signed.
I've just always been a guy that attracts bad luck.
Do I feel like I'm snakebitten?
No.
Just these random occurrences happen a lot more often to me
than anybody else.
NARRATOR: But as Rick tries to turn around,
he's got bigger problems than missing paperwork.
[bleep].
Rick's truck stalled.
We're going to have to bump start it.
NARRATOR: A Polar Industries pilot car
will give Rick's truck a pull to get the engine turning over.
How's it going?
Not bad. What's going on here?
I think he broke a battery cable on the truck.
It won't start.
We need to bump start it.
Come on, I'll give her a shot.
You'll pull it.
NARRATOR: After two days of disaster,
Rick's had enough of being cold, lost and broken down.
And he's definitely had enough of doing it
all in front of the camera.
Let's get some [bleep] more drama for this [bleep] run.
Hey, [bleep] you ever [bleep] slam my [bleep] truck like that
again, I'll [bleep] kill you.
Yeah. You're going to kill me?
You want to kill me right now?
NARRATOR: Deep in the Canadian wilderness,
after a disastrous run, a cameraman slamming his truck
door is the last straw for Rick.
You're going to kill me? You want to kill me right now?
Yeah, [bleep] dude, don't be a [bleep] taking it out
of my [bleep] truck. - Bring it down.
Come on. Bring it on.
RICK YEMM: Smash the window of my truck, I'll smash
your [bleep] face.
Bring it on. Bring it on.
You want to [bleep] go with me right now?
[bleep] I'll go with you right now to the ground.
[bleep].
[bleep]
Don't take it out on this truck.
OK.
I'll hook you up, and away we'll go.
I don't think that Ford'll pull it, but--
Oh, [bleep].
I've owned Fords my whole life.
She'll pull her.
Well, what do you know?
It's actually pulling me.
Nice.
[laughter]
I knew that Ford'd do it.
That's one of them brand new Raptors.
Something like 500 horsepower in there or something.
NARRATOR: With his engine running--
Hey, buddy, you ready to rock and roll now?
RICK YEMM [RADIO]: Yeah, I think so.
OK.
Here we go.
NARRATOR: Rick heads back to Muskrat Dam for his paperwork.
Half of my struggle and challenge
is keeping my temper in check.
And I lost it this morning.
Sorry, dude.
Oh, we'll, we were for each other this morning then.
We both needed
it.
Dr. Phil ain't got [bleep] on that.
Roadside [bleep].
NARRATOR: Back in Alaska, with no convoy partners to slow him
down, Dave Redmon delivers his load to Prudhoe Bay.
We finally made it, ahead of everybody else as usual.
Yeah.
This is a dash for the cash.
This isn't a day care center.
You know, we've got to get some freight hauled.
We really ran away from them when we got to Atigun.
You know, just kind of curious how Maya did on the hill, but.
I wasn't going to stick around to find out.
We needed to get going up the road.
You know, it's not my day to babysit everybody.
It's for backhaul, but it'll be a flat bed with a couple
of scrap bins on it.
All right.
I'll go get it hooked up.
Early bird gets the worm.
So now I get to turn and burn and head back to Fairbanks.
Now Maya and Tony can sit here and wait for a backhaul.
Because I got the only one.
NARRATOR: As Dave heads south, his convoy partners
are just pulling in.
Well, there's Tony.
Coming into town late as usual.
At least you made it OK, Maya.
Yep.
Nice load you got.
Nice navi.
Yeah.
What you guys been doing?
Playing patty cake, what?
Just enjoying the ride.
I guess if she wants to enjoy the ride,
I guess nobody better to do it with than Tony.
Hey, I hope you didn't get the last backhaul.
Got the only one.
Oh, what the hell.
Now you're going to have to bobtail all the way back.
NARRATOR: Ditching the convoy has given Dave
a lead in the load count.
And a bad reputation to go along with it.
The only thing I have to say about Dave
is that he's disrespectful on the road, you know.
And it takes a respectful guy to drive up here
and to be a part of this family.
NARRATOR: 850 miles south, Lisa delivered her load
in Anchorage.
But she's not ready to get back on the road quite yet.
I'm heading home.
I've been gone for three weeks, maybe.
This truck has become my home.
Feels like I haven't seen this place in forever.
Bubba?
NARRATOR: For Lisa, a day off means quality time
with her Tennessee walking horse, Sky,
and her miniature pony, Rocky.
[kissing sounds]
What are you doing?
[music playing]
You forget how cute he is.
Hi.
Come on. Up.
Up.
Good boy.
Good boy.
He's so big.
He's hungry.
I don't know if I have anything.
I have like, zero food.
[kissing sounds]
Hey.
That's just my finger.
Just lick.
You like that, huh?
OK.
Let's go out and get saddled.
This is one horsepower.
I'm used to 475 over there under that hood.
Ready?
I'm getting stiff from riding that truck.
I'm like, so happy I get to ride.
And I kind of wanted to go snowboarding.
We can always tow you behind a horse.
I got my snowboard in the house.
Well, let's go.
This'll be cool.
I've never done this before.
So let's--
TABITHA RICE: Go easy?
Take it easy and see how it goes.
And then we'll go from there.
See, I think I'm this way.
[laughter]
No, go ahead, go ahead.
That's fun.
You guys should try that.
NARRATOR: On the next "Ice Road Truckers--"
slick roads put Hugh in harm's way.
[bleep].
NARRATOR: While in Alaska, Dave is in the hot seat.
What's going on, because you were supposed to wait--
DAVE REDMON: No.
I didn't think we were supposed to follow anybody.
So is that what--
You must not have gotten that message.
DAVE REDMON: I may get fired.
NARRATOR: And Lisa's monster load is out of control.
RADIO: You need to find a spot to pull over.
Rapidly.
Safely.
LISA KELLY: Why?
