NARRATOR: Tonight on "Ice Road Truckers--"

RICK: Go on.

Turn, turn, turn.

It's pretty slick out there right now.

NARRATOR: Hugh and Rick are out of control.

HUGH: Watch out.

Oh no.

NARRATOR: Dave is on the edge.

So [bleep] sick of this thing.

I may get fired.

NARRATOR: And hauling a 100-foot monster load--

I feel like it keeps moving at random.

[honking]

Whoa!

NARRATOR: Lisa faces disaster.

[gasp]

[theme music]

NARRATOR: 4:00 AM.

Winnipeg, Canada.

Morning.

- How's it going, buddy? - Good.

How are you? - Getting on.

Good.

Thanks for coming up so early here.

NARRATOR: Hugh Roland and Rick Yemm

load up a set of fuel tanks bound for the remote outpost

of St. Theresa.

Churn and burn.

We got 19 we gotta deliver.

So you guys get up there as fast as you can.

We're trying to get morediesel tanks to the communities

so they can store up.

The more diesel fuel they can save up during the ice roads,

the better situation they are come December, November

when they're waiting for the roads to open up.

NARRATOR: The daring duo justfinished an exhausting run that

pushed Rick over the edge.

Hey you mother [bleep] you ever [bleep] slam my [bleep]

my truck like that again, I'll [bleep] kill you.

Don't be [bleep] taking it out on my [bleep] truck.

Bring it down.

I'll [bleep] smash your [bleep] face.

Bring it on.

Bring it on.

NARRATOR: But hauling these fuel tanks means big money,

and Rick's gotten a second wind.

It's been a bit of a struggle, this one.

This whole season with the-- of doing it and stuff.

And I've actually been doing really well with them.

Like, I'm making a lot of money here.

Loads are really starting to come in quick now,

so we're just gonna have to pick it up.

And when I go home and I'm completely beat,

I'll know I did everything I could.

If I go home and I still got energy,

I didn't work hard enough.

MARK KOHAYKEWYCH: Hugh, you're good?

You betcha.

[music playing]

[horn honking]

HUGH: We're getting under way here.

It's pretty slick out there, but we got a few hills there.

We've got Underwear Hill we're gonna have to have

to deal with today there.

There's a whole bunch of fresh underwear on Underwear Hill.

RICK [ON RADIO]: Yup.

HUGH: Even some panties.

RICK [ON RADIO]: Wait, some panties?

NARRATOR: They head into a section of hairpin turns

that Rick is all too familiar with.

RICK: That's-- that's my corner.

That's where I rubbed the siding off the shack there.

HUGH [ON RADIO]: What the [bleep] hell?

Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

RICK: This is the-- the technical part of the rally

course.

Like, you've just gotta beright on your toes all the time.

Spinning out.

Holy [bleep].

I couldn't stop here if I wanted to.

Pretty slick out there right now.

The sun's up, and it's a beautiful day.

We've gotta test our skills going around these corners.

Well, with all the truck traffic,

it polishes these roads up pretty good.

Come on.

Turn, turn, turn.

She's greasy in the corners.

We've got a couple of good kick outs with the old tractor

there.

You can get a guy in a corner, and you're sliding,

and he's sliding.

It's not like you can hit the breaks and stop.

You're gonna hit each other.

So it's, uh-- two big trucks hitting each other

is never a good thing.

Lots of carnage when that happens.

Watch out.

Don't roll.

Uh-uh.

NARRATOR: While Hugh and Rick brave the slick roads

of Canada, in Fairbanks, Alaska, Lisa Kelly

reports for a challenge of her own.

MARK BERTELSON: Well, I hope yougot your supplies replenished,

because we got plenty of trucking to do.

LISA: Oh, yeah.

I'm ready to go trucking.

Today you have a little long pipe.

OK.

MARK BERTELSON: Have fun with it.

Oh, I'll be fine.

I'll just go slow and easy.

NARRATOR: They don't call it long pipe for nothing.

These massive pipes that connect the oil fields

to the Alaskan pipeline are one of the longest loads

to hit the haul road.

LISA: There's my long pipe right here.

These are about 90 feet--

80, 90 feet.

I'm 100 feet total, bumper-to-bumper.

One of the challenges of hauling this long pipe

is that it's so long.

It doesn't take corners very well.

This pipe sits on this dolly.

It's a pipe dolly.

And there's no trailer.

So the pipe basically is my trailer.

19 and Carlile?

OK, that works.

NARRATOR: Lisa will rely on pilot car driver Christine

Dennis to help get her 100-footload up the road safely.

All right.

I'm gonna get my log book in shape,

and then we are ready to roll at 8:00.

So-- CHRISTINE DENNIS: All right.

All right.

[music playing]

The pipe's so long I need to use my fish eye mirrors today.

I'm just starting to get used to how this thing works.

It may be a little bit easier.

CHRISTINE DENNIS [ON RADIO]: All right.

You have traffic coming by on your right.

LISA: Getting out of town wasn't as bad

as I thought it was gonna be.

It's all about your pilot car.

10-4.

24 mile.

I'm about ready to go around this 35-mile-an-hour corner.

CHRISTINE DENNIS [ON RADIO]: 10-4.

It's all clear for you.

I'm going through this next 35, and I'll

let you know if it's clear.

I've always wanted to haul pipe on a pipe dolly.

So it's kind of one of those dreams come true things.

It always feels good to check stuff off the checklist.

NARRATOR: But just a few miles into the trip,

Lisa's pipe dolly is swinging out into the other lane.

LISA: Does it look like I'm driving sideways?

CHRISTINE DENNIS [ON RADIO]: Yeah, just a little bit.

Yeah, this thing tracks so bad to the driver's side.

So, like, when I'm, like, in the middle here,

my trailer's in the other lane.

CHRISTINE DENNIS [ON RADIO]: 10-4.

It, like, keeps moving around on me.

I'm gonna need the whole--

the whole road.

I can't be meeting anyone, like, in these 35-mile-an-hour

corners we got here.

NARRATOR: With a pipe dolly crossing the center line

on every turn, Lisa's worried that her extra long load could

smash into an oncoming truck.

If a corner ain't wide enoughand I meet someone in a corner,

my, uh, back of the trailer's gonna hit them.

Shoot.

[honking]

Whoa!

[gasps]

NARRATOR: 50 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska--

Shoot.

[honking]

Whoa!

[gasps]

Holy crap.

Damn.

I'm definitely gonna stick to my side, though, just in case,

you know?

NARRATOR: With a pipe dolly swinging out of control,

Lisa pulls over to try to bring the 100-foot load back

into alignment.

I think what I'm gonna try to do is loosen

the straps on the back.

I was just gonna try to, like,jackknife into it a little bit.

I'm trying to point the truck in the same direction the dolly's

pointing and then tightening it.

Because the way I had it, it's gonna be exactly where it was.

NARRATOR: Lisa's plan is to loosen the straps on the pipe,

then realign the dolly.

LISA: I'll give it a shot.

NARRATOR: But the load doesn't budge.

LISA: Oh, it's making it more crooked than ever.

This is not working.

'Cause that right there is exactly how I don't want it.

Doesn't even make sense.

I don't get it.

It's not doing anything, no matter how I move this thing.

I just-- I really don't know.

But I don't know what else to do about it.

You haven't pushed anybody off the road yet,

so we're doing good.

NARRATOR: With a load still aligned,

Lisa decides to roll the dice and keep driving.

LISA: All right.

We'll give it a shot.

NARRATOR: And Lisa needs all the good luck she can get.

LISA: Come here.

Come here.

Come on.

Here you go, buddy.

I got another piece for you.

I'm saving that for him.

Whoa, now.

OK, now come here.

Come here and get this piece now.

Come on, get this piece too.

There you go.

All right.

See you later, pal.

There you go. Shoo-shoo.

Shoo-shoo.

Grab your bread.

Let's go, pal.

I gave him my old bread.

I've been saving that bread for him.

All right, let's try this.

I don't even know if I did it or not.

I might have to do it again.

NARRATOR: 250 miles north at the Coldfoot truck stop.

Yeah, we're gonna get this back haul delivered

to Fairbanks.

And, uh, looks like everybodyhad to bobtail down here today.

Yeah, that's Tony and Maya sitting over there.

Yeah, that's pretty funny that I was the first one up there

and got a load, and, you know, they had to bobtail back.

NARRATOR: Yesterday, Davebroke a basic rule of the road,

ditching his convoy partners halfway through the run.

We're just gonna worry about ourselves today, get the hell

out of here, get our butts downto Fairbanks, get another load

and get moving again, try to put a dent in this load count.

I'm not gonna wave at him.

Just gonna drive on by.

Truck drivers are supposed to stick together.

They're supposed to work together.

They're supposed to respect each other.

There was a total lack of respect

when he was following me.

I'm not gonna do any more with this Dave guy.

I'm not gonna do it.

NARRATOR: Dave may have claimed the only back haul,

but Tony and Maya have hustled up a job of their own.

We got some long pipe to pick up,

and I know there's a load of reels sitting there too.

What do you think about grabbingthose and going back north?

Yeah, sounds good. I'm ready to go.

NARRATOR: While Tony and Maya roll north--

[horn honking]

--Dave's back haul has already hit a snag.

Damn it.

The truck is just real sluggish on the hills.

It just don't want to pull.

And I've got a boost gauge that, uh,

tells me how much turbo pressure I'm putting out.

It's just not putting out nothing,

or it's spooling up so slow.

I mean, that thing should come up quick,

and it's not coming up at all.

NARRATOR: When Dave hits the turbo boost,

the engine doesn't respond.

Next pull-out, I'm gonna stop and check the fuel,

and make sure I got fuel in the tanks.

And I checked it this morning, but that was a couple hours

ago, so we're gonna stop and look at some things

and make sure-- see, it's just dead right there.

Absolutely [bleep] dead.

Like we're out of fuel again.

[bleep] Damn it.

That's it.

We just died.

Oh, this piece [bleep] just died again.

[bleep] See, this [bleep] tank is full.

We absolutely can't be sitting here.

This [bleep] hunk of [bleep] truck.

So [bleep] sick of this thing.

This fuel tank is dry again.

NARRATOR: Dave's truck is only pulling from the driver's side

fuel tank.

He's still got a full tank on the other side,

but the truck's acting like it's out of gas.

When it won't draw from both tanks,

it draws from the closest tank.

And it drew that son of [bleep] dry.

It won't take anything out of this one.

NARRATOR: And with his former convoy partners headed

in the other direction, Dave is on his own.

[bleep] hunk of [bleep].

Will not pull from my driver's side tank for some reason.

I'm on an uphill this time, and I

can't bump it to get it going, so I

have to rely on the batteries to start it.

And hopefully, I can get this piece of [bleep] started

in a couple of minutes.

NARRATOR: Back on that slick Canadian ice.

Woo-hoo!

NARRATOR: Hugh and Rick are struggling to keep their rigs

on the road, and their 25-ton fuel tanks on their trailers.

Pretty [bleep] rough.

And it's slippery.

Every trip, I'm getting a littlestiffer and a little stiffer

and a little stiffer.

Yeah, 10-4.

Unfortunately, I can't go into the shop

and get patched up like the truck can.

It'd be good if a guy could.

I could use a new neck right now.

She's been kicking out on me all day here,

so I know she's slicker thansnot on a chicken's lip, that's

for sure.

NARRATOR: They're making great time.

But just around the next corner--

MAN [ON RADIO]: Are you guys northbound here?

10-4.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Yeah, we've gota truck jackknifed on the hill

over here, a tanker.

NARRATOR: An 8,500-gallon tanker has spun out,

blocking traffic in both directions.

RICK: I'll have to get a grader in, which

can take who knows how long.

Who knows where the grader is up here?

We could be sitting here for an awful long time.

Could be 3 hours.

Could be 12 hours.

Could be 24 hours.

This is bush driving.

This is what happens.

[music playing]

I can pull him over.

MAN [ON RADIO]: OK.

Just come up and have a look and see what you can do.

NARRATOR: With a spun-out tankerbetween him and his paycheck,

the polar bear takes matters into his own hands.

This you?

She's slick.

I can probably pull you straight.

Straighten me out.

Then I could back down the hill.

Yeah.

That might be the best.

HUGH: Well, I'm gonna pull it backwards.

I think that'll make it.

Take the trailer breaks off and leave the truck breaks on.

Well, I hope he's getting him out.

I just see the back of Hugh's trailer.

I don't know if he pulled him down or not.

[bleep] cool.

Yeah, he got him.

Good deal.

HUGH: Hey, you betcha.

No problem.

Looks like we, uh, left the road open anyway.

[horn honking]

Get after her.

All people come around these corners and they panic

and they hit the brakes.

That's the worst thing you do.

NARRATOR: Hugh and Rick are back on the road,

but they're not out of the woods yet.

Just wait after this.

Come on right here.

HUGH: Uh-oh.

You [bleep].

[honking]

NARRATOR: Deep in the Canadian wilderness.

Uh-oh.

[bleep]

Holy [bleep].

That guy [bleep] near took me right out.

If I went in for the snow bank, he'd have [bleep]..

He was completely jackknifed coming around that corner.

[bleep] He passed my tank.

He was about three inches away from my [bleep] tank.

By the time we got straightened out there,

he was jackknifed coming around the corner.

And I-- I was making a straight run for it,

so I just took the snowbank.

I saved it.

If he'd hit the brakes, he'd have took my tank out.

These roads are, uh, some of thetoughest winter roads in North

America here, and they're-- they're rough

and they're tough.

I tell you, they're harder than iron, and--

yeah, there's a knack to driving them.

And it's only gonna get worse.

NARRATOR: Back on the Dalton.

Lisa Kelly's 100-foot load of pipe

has been nothing but trouble.

I've been trying to fix it.

And I had it.

I think I'm gonna try it again at Coldfoot.

Thanks for noticing.

I imagine that would be hard on tires.

It's trying to get this, and I'm dragging it this way.

Keep it coming.

You can come around this corner here.

[honking]

I'm slowing down for you.

This thing dog-legs, so I'm gonna just move over for you.

NARRATOR: Constant smack talk from those southbounders

is wearing on Lisa's nerves.

I know.

NARRATOR: Finally, a passing trucker offers a suggestion.

They are adjustable.

How-- how do you do that?

MAN [ON RADIO]: That mack's strapped up, and jockey

the dolly around a little bit.

Do it on flat ground.

OK.

Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Thank you.

MAN [ON RADIO]: OK.

LISA: Yeah, it's just getting worse and worse and worse.

It's like, what if all the pipe falls off?

Then I'm [bleep].

I don't know how it could be getting worse.

NARRATOR: Lisa limps into Coldfoot to take another crack

at straightening out her load.

Look at it, it's right here.

That's how far off it is.

It's because you can see howthese tires are going this way.

They almost look off from each other.

NARRATOR: Stumped, Lisa turns to her fellow drivers.

Did you say that you felt like helping me?

Yeah.

'Cause all I'm doing is just running the portables over.

I'll check it out, man.

Pretty please.

He's gonna trying to pull my dolly straight for me 'cause

I'm having a problem with it.

You can probably just pull forward

until you think it's straight.

- OK, I'll give that a try. - I'll just set my breaks.

OK.

It looks-- it looks--

Pull it ahead some just a little bit.

Maybe it'll tighten them up, and then you can let.

Thank you for your help.

Those portables were not working.

I'll try backing off and see if it moves on me again.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Looks pretty straight to me, Lisa.

LISA: You know, it does right now.

In the parking lot it looked straight.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Yeah, it looks good right now.

LISA: It's gonna be hard to tell unless--

until I'm going down the road.

But I'm just hoping I don't have to keep doing this.

Northbound long pipe out of Coldfoot.

She'll be able to go down the road straight now

without anybody yelling at her.

It's gonna be nice.

Maybe people won't make fun of me anymore.

It looks straight now.

It's just, I don't want to do it again.

NARRATOR: 2,600 miles east--

Shaking all over.

NARRATOR: Alex is heading back to Winnipeg

after another successful run.

ALEX: Hang on, there.

Better watch out.

The wheels will fall off.

NARRATOR: Like Hugh and Rick, he's also doing battle

with the slick Canadian roads.

ALEX: Snow's damp.

Like it's-- it's warm, getting warm.

And, uh, so when you driveover, it starts releasing water

and immediately get's very slippery.

[honking]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Holy mackerel.

Did I hit him?

ALEX [ON RADIO]: You OK?

NARRATOR: Deep in the Canadian bush--

NARRATOR: Alex is on a collisioncourse with a parked car.

ALEX: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Holy mackerel.

Did I hit him?

NARRATOR: On the slippery winter roads,

Alex's trailer skidded out of control.

Are you OK?

Holy [bleep].

Holy [bleep].

NARRATOR: And his camera crew took the hit.

You OK?

MAN [ON RADIO]: All good here.

[laughter]

Oh, [bleep].

Looks like the trailer got you.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Oh, it got me good.

MAN: I thought you were toast, dude.

There's a fire?

Just the exhaust.

MAN: Just the exhaust?

Dude, we got lucky.

[bleep].

MAN [ON RADIO]: Broke my side mirror.

MAN: Look at the interior with all the glass.

Got sideswiped by a [bleep] trailer at about [bleep] 60.

How are you?

I'm all right.ALEX: Are you OK everyone else?

MAN: Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Holy [bleep].

OK, let's go catch up.

MAN: All right.

ALEX: Ay-yi-yi.

I can't believe that I did that.

NARRATOR: 180 miles north, Hugh and Rick

are closing in on St. Theresa.

They're hoping to turn and burn back to Winnipeg

in time to snag another valuable fuel load.

But the last 10 miles into townare over a giant frozen lake.

What's this lake called again, Hugh?

Seaman.

Seaman Lake.

Seaman Lake.

[laughter]

It's definitely starting to warm up down there.

Just like a baby's ass out here.

You can't even steer.

RICK: You're, uh, driving on thick ice right here,

but the snowbanks and beyond hasn't been flooded or--

or built up to take truck traffic.

So uh, go right through thecorner and end up off the road,

there's a good chance you're gonna go through.

Making some good time.

I mean, I pulled a guy off of the hill there spun out

in the tanker, pulled himstraight, got him out of there,

and we still made it up here.

People were saying it was taking 16 hours.

Even hammered down, we still made it up here

in about 12 hours we made it.

We're laughing.

NARRATOR: For the grateful citizens of St. Theresa,

a crucial lifeline is restored.

This is for the community.

It's gas and, uh, fuel oil.

We don't have to go across on the other island just

to get-- just to get gas.

NARRATOR: And for Hugh and Rick, the fuel tankers

are money in the bank.

RICK: Now we're just heading back into town

and get a load up and get another one.

I think we got an identical load to right

back to the same place, which will be good.

Hopefully, we'll be back tomorrow and go again.

So that's what I call dashing for the cash.

Makes the season all worthwhile.

NARRATOR: Back in Alaska.

MAYA: Nope, nobody behind us.

NARRATOR: Tony and Maya havearrived at the abandoned loads.

A little bit of oil on there.

When it's really cold, instead of using grease,

we'll use a little bit of oil on these.

All right.

Here we come.

Feels good to get some exercise after a few days.

All these rails are all nice and chain tight.

TONY: Rock and roll.

Yeah, I think that worked out really well.

We all got in there, got hooked up really quickly,

just hightailed it out of there.

We're on our way.

It's a really busy time right now, you know.

No time to just slow down at all, you know.

Just gotta keep stuff moving.

NARRATOR: As Tony and Maya head back

to Prudhoe to cash in on their bonus loads, 150 miles south--

[honking]

[bleep] you too, you [bleep].

NARRATOR: Dave Redmond's back haul is still stalled out.

Yeah, hopefully I got it--

the air worked out of it.

Now I've got to get this thingscrewed back down so we can get

the hell out of here.

NARRATOR: The truck is only pulling fuel

from one of the tanks.

So Dave spent the last hour manually pumping fuel

to the working tank.

This truck is wearing on my last [bleep] nerve.

So tired of this truck.

I shouldn't have to keep, you know, doing this [bleep]..

I mean, this is just get borderline ridiculous now.

Pathetic.

NARRATOR: After a frustrating back haul,

Dave finally reaches the Carlileheadquarters in Fairbanks.

Well, I made it back to Fairbanks with my brand-new

trailer and my back haul.

So go ahead and get this dropped.

I'll turn in my paperwork.

Yeah, I'm gonna drop my truck off at the shop

and see if I can get some things fixed on it

and maybe keep working tomorrow.

We'll just have to see, you know?

It's just always something with this thing.

NARRATOR: 100 miles south of Prudhoe Bay--

LISA: Yeah, this is definitely one of those anything

can happen nights.

NARRATOR: Lisa's 100-foot load of long pipe

is giving her all she can handle.

LISA: This is gonna be a long night.

We're not gonna be getting there till really late.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Lisa.

Yeah, go ahead.

MAN [ON RADIO]: You need to finda spot to pull over rapidly,

safely.

Why?

MAN [ON RADIO]: You are missing two rear duals.

I am?

NARRATOR: 100 miles south of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska--

MAN [ON RADIO]: You need to finda spot to pull over rapidly,

safely.

Why?

MAN [ON RADIO]: You are missing two rear duals.

I am?

MAN [ON RADIO]: Yes, ma'am.

Left-hand side.

Your rear set of duals is completely missing,

tires, rims, and all.

LISA: How did that happen?

MAN [ON RADIO]: I have no idea.

I'm just sitting here looking at both of your bare hubs.

OK, well, let's check this out.

How in the--

Well, we were coming up on you here,

and I just saw that something wasn't right.

Every freaking bolt.

NARRATOR: Luckily, fellow trucker Carl Reynolds

spotted the missing tires beforethe entire axle collapsed.

Got a way to tie this thing.

I'm gonna--

You got a way to set--

I don't know.

How do you get it up?

You're gonna have to put a strap from here.

A strap or a chain?

Or chain.

Well, we're gonna take and jack this axle up.

LISA: This one's broke.

So that at least the other side will ride level

and not create a situationwhere they burn the bearings up

on the other side and leave uswithout a rear axle whatsoever.

Man.

You don't think that's 'cause it was crooked all day that it

wore it off.

NARRATOR: Driving 400 miles with a crooked trailer finally

caught up with her.

I imagine it would be hard on tires.

NARRATOR: But for now, all Lisa can do

is try to lock down the axle and hope for the best.

[laughter]

CARL REYNOLDS: Yeah, it makes menervous when they do that, too.

A little sketchy, huh?

All right, we stop here.

LISA: I think that's pretty--

pretty stinking close.

CARL REYNOLDS: We need a couplemore jacks up if you can.

You won't be able to go too fast,

but we'll still be able to make it, and make it safely.

All right, everybody look out.

You watch yourself, too.

It's good as it's gonna get.

LISA: It's sitting-- it's still sitting kinda low, but--

Jeez.

Well, I guess--

- Just be gentle. - You hang out behind me and--

We're gonna stay behind you.

LISA: This is so weird, becausethere was, like, absolutely

no warning that it was coming.

And then-- - No sounds or anything.

--it's just gone.

No sounds.

No weird movements.

No duals. - That's really weird.

You would have thought that you'd have felt the, tires

coming off.

And you would have seen it wiggling around or something.

Yeah, you'd have thought. Yeah.

Nothing.

Come on, let's get on down the road.

Yeah, let's get out of here. CARL REYNOLDS: All righty.

If you want to get help, be on the radio.

This is southbound.

It's disastrous.

I was hoping the rest of the trip would go good.

How do you just, like, lose tires with no warning?

Thank you, guys.

Have a good trip. OK.

I'm gonna go.

That is the first time tires have fallen off.

Ever.

CARL REYNOLDS [ON RADIO]: Lisa, If I hadn't have come up

on you, I wouldn't have noticed it.

Well, I'm glad you did becauseI know what I would have done

if I lost all the other ones too.

Holy crap.

CARL REYNOLDS [ON RADIO]: Would not have

been fun, that's for sure.

LISA: I'm just gonna try not to rally over bumps then.

CARL REYNOLDS [ON RADIO]: I hear you there.

No problem with that.

It's like, follow Lisa.

Stay tuned to see what happens next.

NARRATOR: With 15 tons of pipe hanging on by a thread,

Lisa crawls to the finish line.

I am gonna deliver this load.

We're getting to Prudhoe.

Seems we're finally making it after all

that's happened today.

I'm gonna be so glad to get this pipe off of this truck.

I'm gonna park, and everything's gonna go--

two seconds after I stop.

There's your pipe.

Figure it out.

I'm leaving.

Made it.

Barely, we made it.

What a pain in the butt load.

I'm taking a picture.

Tell you one thing, I'm tired and ready for bed.

That's how this load makes me feel.

I'm good.

Goodnight.

Good riddance.

NARRATOR: The long pipe delivery puts

Lisa at 12 loads for the season,while Dave has raced to the top

of the board with 13 loads.

The next morning, Dave arrives at dispatch still steaming

about his broken truck.

Got more issues [bleep] every day.

NARRATOR: But Dave's rig isn't what's

troubling the Carlile brass.

The only thing that I'm wondering is, what's going on?

Because you were supposed to wait--

DAVE: No, I didn't think we're supposed to follow anybody.

I thought we were free.

So is that what's--

You must not have gotten that message.

DAVE: No.

OK.

NARRATOR: Two days ago, Dave left with the convoy,

and he was expected to stay with them.

That was Lane's orders.

I've been in communication on and off with Lane all day,

and Lane's gonna have you wait till he gets back on Thursday

to roll.

OK.

I mean, check in with me tomorrow

and see what's going on.

But otherwise, wait for Lane to get back in.

- All right. - All right.

Sounds good. - All right.

Thursday. - All right.

Talk to you later.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Dave's hard charging style may have him in the load

count lead, but it's also put him in hot water

with the boys in the office.

Yeah.

You know, I spent my weeks following people and going

through all the training [bleep] that they have here.

You know what?

I'm tired of following people.

NARRATOR: While Dave stews, 500 miles north--

Barbecue time.

Hope you brought an appetite.

MAYA: Oh, that is so awesome.

MAN: I only truck stop food when I absolutely have to.

Otherwise, I'm cooking.

MAYA: Yeah, I've never had moose before, so--

Yeah?

It's not a popsicle.

Not bad for a dead moose.

That's a really, really good.

I love it.

See your gloves.

It's a little frozen, but--

Never ate finger-food with gloves before.

NARRATOR: While one rookie celebrates a job well done,

the other's worried he may not have a job at all.

And I guess I'm off for the day

tomorrow because I got in trouble.

So, uh, I'm on the list.

So I'll have [bleep] put that fire out come Thursday.

I may not be going back at all.

May get fired.

NARRATOR: Next, on "Ice Road Truckers--"

She's so far behind she thinks she's ahead.

NARRATOR: An old rivalry heats up the Canadian ice roads.

No more Mr. Nice guy.

Oh, Hugh and Rick are gonna haveto be rabbits now to catch up.

NARRATOR: Lisa ups the ante.

This is the biggest one ever.

We're all over the road Every car is an obstacle.

NARRATOR: And Dave's comeback--

These big trucks hope they don't snatch mirror off

when they go by. NARRATOR: --may be over--

DAVE: Holy [bleep]!

NARRATOR: --before it begins.
