00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:41,929

IS THEY SHOULD PUT HUGHIE BEHIND

227
00:08:01,515 --> 00:08:02,850
JUST TO TEST HUGHIE'S STRESS

229
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,587

I'M COMPETITIVE.

I LIKE TO HAUL MORE LOADS THAN

242
00:08:29,677 --> 00:08:30,443

291

292
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:42,843

302
00:11:07,801 --> 00:11:10,103
GETTING THE STRAPS TIGHT IS

303
00:11:10,103 --> 00:11:11,271

MORE RIGHT HERE IN THE FRONT SO

307
00:11:16,076 --> 00:11:19,646
IT DOESN'T DO ANY WIGGLING.

WITHOUT TROUBLE.

311
00:11:24,785 --> 00:11:26,987
JACK'S GOT A MESSAGE FOR HIS

312

00:11:37,765 --> 00:11:38,732
THE MIRROR, AND I

317
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:40,433
SAW HIM, SO I JUST LET HIM DO

318
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:41,201
IT.

319
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:42,135

00:11:42,135 --> 00:11:44,271
IT.

321
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:46,073

00:13:39,186 --> 00:13:39,853
HERE.

379
00:13:39,853 --> 00:13:41,221
I CALLED MY DISPATCH FROM HERE

380
00:13:41,221 --> 00:13:41,989
AND HE SAID, "OKAY, I'LL TRY TO

381
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:43,523
HAVE SOMETHING OUT AND READY

382
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:44,892
JUST TO HOOK RIGHT UP TO YOU."

383
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:46,526
IT SHOULD BE ABOUT 11:00 OR

384
00:13:46,526 --> 00:13:47,360
12:00 WHEN WE MAKE IT INTO

385
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,228
FAIRBANKS.

386
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:51,564
>> LISA'S EAGER TO KEEP TURNING

387
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:52,832
AND BURNING--

388
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,068
NO MATTER HOW DANGEROUS THE ROAD

389
00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:56,403
GETS.

390
00:13:56,403 --> 00:13:57,704
>> MY FIRST RIDE UP HERE, I WAS

391
00:13:57,704 --> 00:13:58,638
LIKE, "EH, WHATEVER.

392
00:13:58,638 --> 00:13:59,672
THIS ROAD AIN'T THAT BAD.

393
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:00,573
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

394
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:01,674
I THINK THEY JUST SAY ALL THIS

395
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:03,210
STUFF TO SCARE YOU."

396
00:14:03,210 --> 00:14:05,178
AND THEN THE MORE YOU DRIVE IT,

397
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:07,180
THE MORE YOU SEE THE GLOWS,

398
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:10,017
THE HILLS, TRUCKS OFF IN THE

399
00:14:10,017 --> 00:14:11,851
DITCH...

400
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:12,886
THERE'S TWO KIND OF PEOPLE ON

401
00:14:12,886 --> 00:14:14,721
THE ROAD: THE ONES THAT HAVE

402
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:15,755
BEEN IN THE DITCH AND THE ONES

403
00:14:15,755 --> 00:14:16,924
THAT ARE GONNA GO IN THE DITCH.

404
00:14:16,924 --> 00:14:18,525
[chuckles]

405
00:14:26,633 --> 00:14:28,301
SOUTHBOUND ATIGUN.

406
00:14:28,301 --> 00:14:30,270
>> LISA'S NEXT CHALLENGE--

407
00:14:30,270 --> 00:14:33,073
THE DEADLY ATIGUN PASS.

408
00:14:33,073 --> 00:14:34,274
>> ATIGUN'S NOT THE STEEPEST

409
00:14:34,274 --> 00:14:35,775
GRADE ON THE ROAD, BUT IT IS

410
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:37,410
THE LONGEST.

411
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:39,879
>> FOUR LONG MILES OF ICY

412
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:44,617
TWISTS AND TURNS.

413
00:14:44,617 --> 00:14:45,618
>> IT'S TRICKY 'CAUSE IT'S

414
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:46,286
WINDY.

415
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:48,055
THERE'S AVALANCHES 'CAUSE IT'S

416
00:14:48,055 --> 00:14:49,589
A MOUNTAIN.

417
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:50,757
WE'RE CLIMBING UP AND OVER A

418
00:14:50,757 --> 00:14:53,393
MOUNTAIN RANGE.

419
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:56,696
>> AND TODAY'S SUNSHINE HAS MADE

420
00:14:56,696 --> 00:14:59,199
THE ROAD ESPECIALLY SLICK.

421
00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:03,903
>> YEAH, GO AHEAD.

422
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,242
>> A NORTHBOUND TRUCK IS

423
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:10,743
SLIPPING ON THE ICE.

424
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:11,844
>> WHAT THE HELL?

425
00:15:11,844 --> 00:15:14,581
>> ON THE DALTON, NORTHBOUNDERS

426
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:15,983
HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY.

427
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,689
>> OH, MAN.

428
00:15:22,689 --> 00:15:25,292
>> THE DRIVER MOVES INTO LISA'S

429
00:15:25,292 --> 00:15:27,160
LANE TO GAIN TRACTION.

430
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,397
AND SHE IS NOW FORCED INTO THE

431
00:15:30,397 --> 00:15:32,065
OPPOSITE LANE...

432
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:34,534
>> I CAN'T SEE.

433
00:15:34,534 --> 00:15:35,702
I DON'T WANT TO GO IN THAT

434
00:15:35,702 --> 00:15:37,504
DITCH.

435
00:15:37,504 --> 00:15:39,372
>> ...HER TIRES JUST INCHES FROM

436
00:15:39,372 --> 00:15:42,442
THE CLIFF'S EDGE.

437
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:43,476
>> THE SCAREDEST I'VE EVER BEEN

438
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:46,346
SO FAR ON THIS ROAD.

439
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,550
[horn blasts]

440
00:15:54,354 --> 00:15:59,926
[horn blasts]

441
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:01,428
THE TRUCK PASSES WITH JUST

442
00:16:01,428 --> 00:16:03,796
INCHES TO SPARE.

443
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:04,597
>> YOU WANT ME TO STAY IN THIS

444
00:16:04,597 --> 00:16:06,866
LANE FOR THE NEXT GUY HERE?

445
00:16:06,866 --> 00:16:08,268
>> OH, YOU CAN ASK HIM.

446
00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:09,202
HE'S COMING UP THE HILL BEHIND

447
00:16:09,202 --> 00:16:14,241
THERE.

448
00:16:14,241 --> 00:16:15,008
>> ALL RIGHTY.

449
00:16:15,008 --> 00:16:16,043
WE'LL JUST HANG OUT IN THIS LANE

450
00:16:16,043 --> 00:16:22,749
THEN.

451
00:16:22,749 --> 00:16:25,018
WHAT JUST HAPPENED IS THAT THE

452
00:16:25,018 --> 00:16:26,853
TRACTION WAS BETTER IN MY LANE

453
00:16:26,853 --> 00:16:29,722
FOR THE GUYS CLIMBING THE HILL.

454
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,158
AND I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT

455
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:32,292
TRACTION NEAR AS MUCH AS THE

456
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:33,926
GUYS CLIMBING LOADED.

457
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:35,562
AND I'M EMPTY COMING DOWN.

458
00:16:35,562 --> 00:16:36,329
AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE

459
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:37,664
SNOW IN THEIR LANE, SO WE JUST

460
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:39,199
SWAPPED LANES SO THAT THEY HAD

461
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:45,638
THE GOOD TRACTION GOING UP.

462
00:16:45,638 --> 00:16:47,474
>> 80 MILES SOUTH OF LISA, ALEX

477
00:17:21,574 --> 00:17:24,144
HOLY MACKEREL.

478
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:28,481
WHAT THE HECK?

479

THREAT TO UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS.

482
00:17:36,323 --> 00:17:37,357
>> WOW.

483
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:38,625
THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.

484
00:17:38,625 --> 00:17:41,461
[laughs]

485
00:17:41,461 --> 00:17:46,099

00:18:19,899 --> 00:18:21,501
OVER THE PASS.

00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:23,936
FIVE ONE WAY AND FIVE THE OTHER.

502
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,272

>> SO I'M CATCHING UP TO YOU.

504
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:27,874
ARE YOU CONCERNED?

DIFFERENT TYPES OF DRIVING, EH?

509
00:18:35,982 --> 00:18:37,550
SO THEY TRY TO MATCH US UP TO

510
00:18:37,550 --> 00:18:38,585
THESE FELLOWS WHO ARE

511
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:39,852

DO.

513
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:41,721

WELL, WE'LL SEE YOU LATER.

525
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:00,907

THE LAST STORM.

529
00:19:05,678 --> 00:19:07,414
BUT WHILE HE WAITS TO HOOK UP

530
00:19:07,414 --> 00:19:09,749
THE TRAILER, ALEX GETS A HEAD

531
00:19:09,749 --> 00:19:10,917
START.

532
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:11,951

FIFTH LOAD, AND I'M JUST

535
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:15,288

BASICALLY ONE LOAD AHEAD OF ME

537
00:19:16,589 --> 00:19:20,460
NOW.

538
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:21,694
HE'S STILL TRAVELING WITH PHIL,

539
00:19:21,694 --> 00:19:23,596

540
00:19:23,596 --> 00:19:25,798
GETTING OUT OF THEIR TRUCKS.

541
00:19:25,798 --> 00:19:27,800
I ENJOY B.S.-ING WITH EVERYBODY

542

TROUBLE IS IT REALLY CUTS INTO

544
00:19:30,203 --> 00:19:31,538
MY DRIVING TIME, SO IF I STAY

545
00:19:31,538 --> 00:19:35,141
IN THE TRUCK, YOU KNOW, AND...

546
00:19:35,141 --> 00:19:37,944
JUST CONTINUE, HAUL ANOTHER

547
00:19:37,944 --> 00:19:39,346
LOAD, CATCH UP TO HUGHIE, AND,

548
00:19:39,346 --> 00:19:40,847
YOU KNOW, I DO LIKE--I REALLY

549
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:42,649
LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PASS HIM

550
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:43,650
BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH IT

551
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:45,818
BOTHERS HIM.

552
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:52,892

00:20:21,254 --> 00:20:22,188
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA HIT IT

565
00:20:22,188 --> 00:20:25,625
AT AT THE BOTTOM.

566
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:27,026
ALL I'M CONCERNED IS CAREY

567
00:20:27,026 --> 00:20:30,229
DOESN'T RUN ME OVER BACK THERE.

568
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:31,130
HIS TRUCK'LL ACTUALLY HIT THE

569
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:32,299
BOTTOM A LITTLE FASTER THAN

570
00:20:32,299 --> 00:20:34,334
MINE.

571
00:20:34,334 --> 00:20:36,135
>> I GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT I GET

572
00:20:36,135 --> 00:20:37,770
ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF SPEED

573
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:39,439
THAT HE DOES, AND, THAT WAY, I

574
00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:40,340
WON'T CATCH HIM GOING UP THE

575
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:42,074
OTHER SIDE.

576
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,576
>> MY TRUCK'S NOW PULLING HIM.

577
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:45,077
BUT IF HE'S GOT MORE MOMENTUM

578
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:47,280
AT THE BOTTOM THAN I DO, THAT

579
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,047
COULD REALLY GIVE YOU SOME

580
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:51,618
PROBLEMS.

581
00:20:51,618 --> 00:20:53,019
>> JACK CLEARS THE TOP OF THE

582
00:20:53,019 --> 00:20:58,958
ROLLER COASTER.

583
00:20:58,958 --> 00:21:00,827
BUT ON THE WAY DOWN CAREY STARTS

584
00:21:00,827 --> 00:21:05,798
GAINING ON HIM.

585
00:21:05,798 --> 00:21:11,404
>> COME ON. PICK IT UP, JACK.

586
00:21:11,404 --> 00:21:12,339
COME ON, JACK.

587
00:21:12,339 --> 00:21:13,306
PICK IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

588
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:16,409
[horn beeps]

589
00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:21,881
>> UGH.

590
00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:24,317
>> JACK TRIES TO PICK UP SPEED.

591
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:43,302
>> DAMN IT, JACK, GET OUT OF

592
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:49,376
THE WAY.

593
00:21:49,376 --> 00:21:50,910
>> AT A CRITICAL MOMENT, JACK

594
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:54,080
FINDS THE RIGHT GEAR AND STARTS

595
00:21:54,080 --> 00:22:01,120
TO PULL AWAY FROM CAREY.

596
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,689
>> THERE WE GO.

597
00:22:09,261 --> 00:22:15,167
[sighs]

598
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:16,235
>> I KNOW WHY--WHAT'S HOLDING

599
00:22:16,235 --> 00:22:17,269
HIM BACK.

600
00:22:17,269 --> 00:22:18,438
IT'S THAT EXTRA OVER-SIZED

601
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:19,739
PAIR OF UNDERWEAR HE GOT ON THE

602
00:22:19,739 --> 00:22:23,209
BACK OF HIS LOAD.

603
00:22:23,209 --> 00:22:24,577
JACK.

604
00:22:24,577 --> 00:22:30,517
>> YEAH.

605
00:22:30,517 --> 00:22:31,718
>> REALLY?

606
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:32,419
YEAH, WE CAN STOP RIGHT OVER

607
00:22:32,419 --> 00:22:39,926
HERE AND CHECK IT OUT.

608
00:22:39,926 --> 00:22:45,765
EVERYTHING'S LOOKING GOOD.

609
00:22:45,765 --> 00:22:48,300
DO YOU WANT A SANDWICH?

610
00:22:54,874 --> 00:23:00,379
NOTHING LOOSENED UP.

611
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:04,316
>> A LITTLE WIDE?

612
00:23:04,316 --> 00:23:11,223
[laughs]

613
00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:14,961
YEAH.

614
00:23:14,961 --> 00:23:18,230
[laughs]

615
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:20,967
SURE THING.

616
00:23:20,967 --> 00:23:24,003
>> 244 MILES UP THE ICE ROAD...

[horn honks]

618
00:23:26,506 --> 00:23:28,107
IT'S ALEX'S TURN TO FACE THE

619
00:23:28,107 --> 00:23:31,878
DEADLY ATIGUN PASS.

620
00:23:31,878 --> 00:23:33,012
>> ATIGUN PASS, THAT'S THE

621
00:23:33,012 --> 00:23:34,781
BIGGEST CHALLENGE.

622
00:23:34,781 --> 00:23:35,815
IT'S THE NUMBER ONE CHALLENGE,

623
00:23:35,815 --> 00:23:36,983
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, ON THE

624
00:23:36,983 --> 00:23:38,518
TRIP HERE.

625
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:44,924
GETTING OVER THE DARN THING.

626
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:46,092
THERE'S ALWAYS POTENTIAL FOR A

627
00:23:46,092 --> 00:23:48,895
PROBLEM.

628
00:23:48,895 --> 00:23:49,762
GONNA HAVE TO CONCENTRATE A

629
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:52,532
LITTLE--A LITTLE MORE.

630
00:23:52,532 --> 00:23:53,533
IF YOU'RE GONNA DO ANY SHIFTING,

631
00:23:53,533 --> 00:23:55,167
IT BETTER MAKE THE SHIFT.

632
00:24:03,943 --> 00:24:05,077
WHAT WORRIES ONE ABOUT THIS PART

633
00:24:05,077 --> 00:24:07,647
IS IF WE--IS LOSING TRACTION

634
00:24:07,647 --> 00:24:11,017
AND SLIDING DOWN A HILL.

635
00:24:17,156 --> 00:24:19,492
THE PUCKER FACTOR GOES UP...

636
00:24:19,492 --> 00:24:22,962
WHEN WE'RE GOING OVER.

637
00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:24,964
>> SUDDENLY ANOTHER TRUCK TRIES

638
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:30,402
TO PASS ON A DANGEROUS CORNER.

639
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:34,040
>> HOLY MACKEREL.

640
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,107
THIS GUY--LOOK AT THIS GUY.

641
00:24:35,107 --> 00:24:35,808
HE'S PASSING ME.

642
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:37,176
THIS IS--THIS IS HOW YOU [bleep]

643
00:24:37,176 --> 00:24:38,410
THINGS UP, YOU COME IN AT THE

644
00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:40,680
SWITCHBACK AND PASSING.

645
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,881
>> YEAH.

646
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:42,715
WHAT WERE YOU--

647
00:24:42,715 --> 00:24:44,083
>> [bleep].

648
00:24:44,083 --> 00:24:46,085
HE'S WAY HEAVIER THAN I AM.

649
00:24:46,085 --> 00:24:47,587
HE'S GOING TO [bleep] ME UP.

650
00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:55,795
DAMN.

651
00:24:59,966 --> 00:25:01,467
I HAVE NO [bleep] IDEA WHAT THE

652
00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:03,035
HELL'S THE MATTER WITH HIM.

653
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:04,637
HE'S GOT A REALLY HEAVY LOAD.

654
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:06,305
I MEAN, ANY BRAINS, YOU CAN SEE

655
00:25:06,305 --> 00:25:07,339
I'M LIGHT.

656
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,441
[horn blasts]

657
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:21,420
LUCKY I'M IN THE RIGHT GEAR HERE

658
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:27,059
THAT I CAN KIND OF IDLE BACK.

659
00:25:27,059 --> 00:25:27,960
I ACTUALLY THINK I CAN PROBABLY

660
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:34,033
CLIMB THE HILL FASTER THAN HIM.

661
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:35,401
>> THE TRUCK IN FRONT IS NOW A

662
00:25:35,401 --> 00:25:37,203
DANGEROUS HAZARD.

663
00:25:37,203 --> 00:25:38,838
IF IT STOPS SUDDENLY OR SPINS

664
00:25:38,838 --> 00:25:42,174
OUT, ALEX HAS NOWHERE TO GO.

665
00:25:42,174 --> 00:25:43,242
>> MAYBE HE FIGURES I DON'T KNOW

666
00:25:43,242 --> 00:25:44,243
WHAT I'M DOING OR I DON'T KNOW

667
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:45,645
WHAT HE THINKS.

668
00:25:45,645 --> 00:25:46,779
HE'S SUPER DUCK.

669
00:25:46,779 --> 00:25:47,546
I'M SURE HE FEELS A LITTLE

670
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:48,715
FOOLISH BECAUSE HE FIGURES HE'S

671
00:25:48,715 --> 00:25:49,916
GONNA JUST ROAR BY AND JUST

672
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:52,051
DISAPPEAR INTO THE SUNSET.

673
00:25:52,051 --> 00:25:53,252
AND IT'S ALL HE CAN DO TO STAY

674
00:25:53,252 --> 00:25:54,787
AHEAD OF ME NOW.

675
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:03,930
NOT BAD.

676
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:04,831
I'M PUSHING THIS TANKER UP THE

677
00:26:04,831 --> 00:26:11,270
HILL NOW.

678
00:26:11,270 --> 00:26:12,271
I DON'T KNOW WHO THESE GUYS ARE,

679
00:26:12,271 --> 00:26:14,106
I'M NEW HERE, SO, I MEAN, I'M

680
00:26:14,106 --> 00:26:16,075
NOT--I'M HAPPY.

681
00:26:16,075 --> 00:26:16,876
IT'S FINE.

682
00:26:16,876 --> 00:26:19,411
I CAN HANDLE IT RIGHT HERE.

683
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:24,617
IT'S FOOLISH. TOTAL FOOLISHNESS.

684
00:26:24,617 --> 00:26:27,419

PHIL KROM'S TURN TO MAKE THE

688
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:36,996
DANGEROUS ASCENT.

691
00:26:38,865 --> 00:26:39,732
>> UH, WELL, IT DOESN'T SOUND

692
00:26:39,732 --> 00:26:42,168
LIKE WE'LL CATCH UP TO HIM.

693
00:26:42,168 --> 00:26:43,369
>> HUGH IS ONE LOAD AHEAD OF

694
00:26:43,369 --> 00:26:45,171
ALEX IN THE DASH FOR CASH, BUT

695
00:26:45,171 --> 00:26:47,239
ON THIS RUN HE'S GETTING LEFT

696
00:26:47,239 --> 00:26:53,612
IN THE DUST.

697
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,480
>> YEAH, SHE'S STRAPPED DOWN

698
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,153
PRETTY GOOD.

699
00:27:01,153 --> 00:27:02,221
YEAH, THERE AIN'T MUCH ON HERE.

700
00:27:02,221 --> 00:27:03,489
THERE'S ONLY 12,000 POUNDS ON

701
00:27:03,489 --> 00:27:10,930
HERE.

702
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:12,198
>> PULLING OVER TO CHAIN UP WILL

703
00:27:12,198 --> 00:27:14,333
PUT HUGH EVEN FURTHER BEHIND HIS

SLIPPING AROUND.

721
00:28:02,381 --> 00:28:03,750
THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO.

722
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:05,184
>> GIVE ME A PRETTY GOOD HEAD

723
00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:07,920
START BEFORE YOU START UP.

>> WHAT HUGH DOESN'T KNOW IS

725
00:28:09,288 --> 00:28:11,490
THAT TODAY THE PASS IS EXTREMELY

726
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:13,692
SLICK.

727
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:19,698
A FEW HUNDRED FEET UP AHEAD,

00:28:23,635 --> 00:28:29,976
AND CRASHED INTO THE GUARDRAIL.

00:29:27,033 --> 00:29:28,367
THEY'RE STEEL POSTS DRIVEN INTO

00:29:29,401 --> 00:29:30,402
THEY'RE NOT WOODEN-POST

00:29:46,418 --> 00:29:48,020
ALL TRAFFIC HAS COME TO A

753
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:50,656
STANDSTILL, COSTING THEM ALL

754
00:29:50,656 --> 00:29:52,859
PRECIOUS TIME AND MONEY...

755
00:29:52,859 --> 00:29:55,527
AND POSSIBLY ENDING HUGH'S LEAD

756
00:29:55,527 --> 00:29:59,966
IN THE DASH FOR THE CASH.

757
00:30:10,576 --> 00:30:12,311

SEVERELY SLICK CONDITIONS HAVE

760
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:17,383
CAUSED AN OIL TANKER WITH NO

761
00:30:17,383 --> 00:30:19,651
CHAINS TO SPIN OUT AND CRASH

762
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:22,321
INTO THE GUARDRAIL.

763
00:30:22,321 --> 00:30:24,190
AFTER TWO HOURS, THE ROAD

764
00:30:24,190 --> 00:30:26,125
FINALLY REOPENS.

765
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,498
>> I'M GOOD TO GO, HEY, PHIL?

766
00:30:32,498 --> 00:30:34,133
>> HUGH AND PHIL CAN START

767
00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:36,635
MOVING NORTH AGAIN TO DEADHORSE.

768
00:30:40,406 --> 00:30:41,874
>> HE BEAT HER UP PRETTY BAD

00:30:41,874 --> 00:30:43,309
DOWN THERE.

770
00:30:43,309 --> 00:30:46,578
>> YEAH, AND...

771
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:04,596
>> LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

772
00:31:08,968 --> 00:31:09,969
QUITE A LITTLE WINDSTORM LAST

773
00:31:09,969 --> 00:31:10,970
NIGHT.

774
00:31:10,970 --> 00:31:12,571
ABOUT 2 INCHES OF SNOW AND A

775
00:31:12,571 --> 00:31:14,140
WINDSTORM, SO...IT KINDA MADE A

776
00:31:14,140 --> 00:31:15,207
MESS OF THINGS.

777
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:17,276
>> AS HUGH INCHES UP THE PASS,

778
00:31:17,276 --> 00:31:19,111
THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE MUCH

779
00:31:19,111 --> 00:31:22,114
WORSE THAN HE EXPECTED.

780
00:31:22,114 --> 00:31:24,116
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PASS, HE

781
00:31:24,116 --> 00:31:26,452
DECIDED NOT TO CHAIN UP.

782
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:37,063
>> NOW HE'S SPINNING OUT.

783
00:31:37,063 --> 00:31:38,597
>> [Bleep].

784
00:31:38,597 --> 00:31:41,233
SHE'S PRETTY [bleep] SLIPPERY.

785
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:44,870
>> 10-4.

786
00:31:51,277 --> 00:31:53,179
UH-OH.

787
00:31:59,051 --> 00:32:01,487
COME ON, GET UP THERE.

788
00:32:01,487 --> 00:32:04,356
JUST [bleep] ALL OVER THE PLACE.

789
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:07,659
ANYBODY THAT SAYS THIS AIN'T AN

790
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:08,660
ICE ROAD, THEY'RE FULL OF

791
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:12,364
[bleep].

00:32:12,364 --> 00:32:15,101
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

793
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:20,906
I JUST COME UP OVER THE PASS

794
00:32:20,906 --> 00:32:21,640
HERE.

795
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,641
I SPUN MOST OF THE WAY TO THE

796
00:32:22,641 --> 00:32:24,043
[laughing] TOP.

797
00:32:24,043 --> 00:32:25,811
THAT WAS MY CALL WITH NO CHAINS.

798
00:32:25,811 --> 00:32:28,547
BUT I MADE HER.

799
00:32:28,547 --> 00:32:31,850
125 MILES TO GO.

800
00:32:31,850 --> 00:32:38,390
[honking horn]

801

DOBBS REACH THE OUTSKIRTS OF

804
00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:46,665
DEADHORSE.

805
00:32:46,665 --> 00:32:47,666
>> ABOUT 500 MILES LATER, THIS

806
00:32:47,666 --> 00:32:49,968
IS IT.

807
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:52,804
I ALMOST FINISHED MY FIFTH TRIP.

808
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:54,040
IF I WAS DRIVIN' IT BY MYSELF,

809
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,474
YOU KNOW, I'D PROBABLY DRIVE

810
00:32:55,474 --> 00:32:58,310
A LITTLE QUICKER.

811
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:01,247
WELL, HERE WE ARE, PRUDHOE BAY.

812
00:33:01,247 --> 00:33:03,115
A SUCCESSFUL TRIP.

813
00:33:03,115 --> 00:33:05,251
>> AS SOON AS ALEX DROPS HIS

814
00:33:05,251 --> 00:33:07,219
LOAD, HE AND RON ARE ASSIGNED

815
00:33:07,219 --> 00:33:09,955
BACKHAULS TO COLDFOOT.

ROW OVER HERE AND VANS ARE

00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:13,925
USUALLY ALONG THIS ROW.

819
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:15,761
JUST FIND OUT WHICH ONE'S YOURS

820
00:33:15,761 --> 00:33:17,129
AND GET HEADING SOUTH.

821
00:33:17,129 --> 00:33:22,134
>> THAT'S GOOD, GREAT.

822
00:33:22,134 --> 00:33:23,535
AND NOW WE'RE SOUTHBOUND WITH

823
00:33:23,535 --> 00:33:25,204
A LOAD.

824
00:33:25,204 --> 00:33:27,606
>> BACK ON THE ROAD, ALEX IS

825
00:33:27,606 --> 00:33:28,574
WELL AHEAD OF HUGH AND ON TRACK

826
00:33:28,574 --> 00:33:31,277
TO MATCH HIS SIX LOADS.

827
00:33:37,116 --> 00:33:40,252
I GUESS WE'LL SEE.

828
00:33:47,126 --> 00:33:48,960
>> BEFORE THE DISCOVERY OF OIL

829
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,364
IN 1968, PRUDHOE BAY EMERGED

830
00:33:52,364 --> 00:33:54,133
AS THE CENTER FOR ANOTHER

831
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:55,934
NATURAL RESOURCE...

>> IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT,

838
00:34:05,811 --> 00:34:06,812
REALLY, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OIL

839
00:34:06,812 --> 00:34:08,180
RUSHES TO THE NORTH SLOPE.

840
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:10,549
THE FIRST WAS FOR OIL FROM THE

841
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:12,318
WHALES, AND THE SECOND WAS OIL

842
00:34:12,318 --> 00:34:14,386
FROM THE GROUND.

843
00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:16,888
WHALE OIL IN THE EARLY DAYS,

844
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:18,157
A LARGE PART OF IT IS FOR

845
00:34:18,157 --> 00:34:19,158
CORSETS AND FOR--YOU KNOW,

846
00:34:19,158 --> 00:34:20,459
BECAUSE THIS WAS BEFORE

847
00:34:20,459 --> 00:34:23,162
PLASTIC--BUT IT WAS ALSO USED

848
00:34:23,162 --> 00:34:24,163
FOR LIGHTING.

849
00:34:24,163 --> 00:34:25,297
AND THIS IS ALL BEFORE

850
00:34:25,297 --> 00:34:27,999
PETROLEUM.

851
00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:38,977
>> AND THE MILES ARE JUST GONNA

852
00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:42,348
GO AWAY, SLOW BUT SURE.

853
00:34:42,348 --> 00:34:44,450
>> AFTER A SERIES OF DELAYS,

854
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:46,318
HUGH AND PHIL ARE NEXT TO PULL

855
00:34:46,318 --> 00:34:48,687
INTO PRUDHOE BAY.

856
00:35:12,344 --> 00:35:14,446
>> HUGH WANTS TO TURN AND BURN

857
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:17,316
TO STAY AHEAD OF ALEX.

858
00:35:22,154 --> 00:35:23,522
AND ALEX IS SO [bleep] FAR

859
00:35:23,522 --> 00:35:24,756
BEHIND, HE THINKS HE'S AHEAD.

860
00:35:24,756 --> 00:35:27,593

861
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:28,694
[clunk]

862
00:35:28,694 --> 00:35:30,296
>> HE'S UNLOADED AND RELOADED

863
00:35:30,296 --> 00:35:33,131
IN RECORD TIME.

864
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,866
BUT LEAD DRIVER PHIL ISN'T SO

865
00:35:34,866 --> 00:35:35,601
ANXIOUS TO GET GOING.

866
00:35:35,601 --> 00:35:37,603
>> YOU GETTING ANTSY OR WHAT?

867
00:35:37,603 --> 00:35:38,604
>> NOPE.

868
00:35:38,604 --> 00:35:39,605
>> YOU'RE SITTING THERE WITH

869
00:35:39,605 --> 00:35:40,606
YOUR SEATBELT ON JUST FEELING

870
00:35:40,606 --> 00:35:41,507
SAFE?

871
00:35:41,507 --> 00:35:43,141
>> I JUST PUT IT ON.

872
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:44,142
>> WELL, I WONDER HOW FAR THOSE

873
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:45,377
GUYS ARE BEHIND US.

874
00:35:45,377 --> 00:35:46,378
>> WELL, IT DEPENDS IF THEY GOT

875
00:35:46,378 --> 00:35:47,379
AWAY.

876
00:35:47,379 --> 00:35:48,680
>> I GOTTA DO SOME THINGS NOW...

877
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:49,681
>> WELL, YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU

878
00:35:49,681 --> 00:35:50,682
GOTTA DO, MAN.

879
00:35:50,682 --> 00:35:51,683
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

880
00:35:51,683 --> 00:35:53,585
>> OKAY. I'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

881
00:35:53,585 --> 00:35:56,588
>> ALL RIGHT.

882
00:36:00,626 --> 00:36:02,828
>> HUGH MUST WAIT UNTIL PHIL IS

883
00:36:02,828 --> 00:36:06,432
READY TO GO.

884
00:36:06,432 --> 00:36:08,667
FOR NOW, THE POLAR BEAR IS AT A

885
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,102
STANDSTILL.

SHE'S STILL GOT 190 MILES TO GO

891
00:36:27,953 --> 00:36:31,122
TO REACH FAIRBANKS.

892
00:36:31,122 --> 00:36:32,123

00:36:32,123 --> 00:36:34,460
FAIRBANKS ABOUT...MIDNIGHT.

894
00:36:34,460 --> 00:36:35,827
AND I'M GONNA HAVE A LOAD READY

895
00:36:35,827 --> 00:36:36,828
AND WAITING FOR ME WHEN I GET

896
00:36:36,828 --> 00:36:38,397
THERE.

897
00:36:38,397 --> 00:36:39,465
WE'LL SEE HOW TIRED I AM.

898
00:36:39,465 --> 00:36:41,600
I'M GONNA BE TIRED.

899
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,502

BEAVER SLIDE--A LOT OF PEOPLE

906

HAVE BEEN SPINNING ON IT AND

907
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:00,552
SLICKING UP THE ROAD SO THE NEXT

908
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,553
GUY COMES UP BEHIND HIM AND

909
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:06,191
SPINS ON HIS SPIN MARKS.

910
00:37:06,191 --> 00:37:09,428

SPIN.

913

HOLY CRAP.
