In the world's
highest mountains...

are roads only the best
can survive.

- The possibility of getting
killed on this job is very good.

It's a whole new challenge

for the top ice road truckers.

What did I get myself into?

They're taking on
the world's deadliest roads...

to prove there's no route
they can't conquer.

I came here to prove a point:

that it doesn't matter how bad
the road is you throw at me,

I'll adapt and overcome
and do the job.

And no load they can't haul.

I came here for a reason.

I want to try this road
because everyone says it hard.

I'm all about that.

But this road was terrifying.

But these roads
average a death

every 41/2 minutes,

and one trucker won't make it
through the first day.

These are the truckers who make
their living on thin ice.

- Oh, I respect this road
completely.

Like, anything can happen
to you here.

There's no guardrails.
It's sheer drop-offs.

Most of the road is only built
for one truck.

You get cocky, you're gonna pay
the price big time.

For thousands of years,

goods have traveled
these trading routes,

but the journey's
never been deadlier.

Last year, over 180,000 people
were killed on India's roads.

- Everything around here
is chaos.

Now, Alex, Rick,
and Lisa have signed contracts

to deliver 150 tons of material

to supply
massive hydroelectric projects

located halfway around the world
in northern India.

From the city of Shimla,

they'll head up
the Freefall Freeway,

facing cliffs...

Well, my heart's pounding.

Blind corners,

and crumbling infrastructure...

There's a structural bolt

that holds the two I beams
together, and it's gone.

Through a section
carved from solid rock

called the Cutouts...

- There's a giant crack
that's right here.

This whole section
could come down,

take the whole road out.

And up a narrow side road

dubbed "the Ledge".

- Kind of having second thoughts
about this job.

If they survive,

they'll push higher
into the Himalayas.

From Manali, they'll climb over
the 13,000-foot Rohtang Pass,

facing landslides...

- A landslide
could come off the side

and swipe you
right into the river.

We're running over rocks.

It's coming down right now.

And countless switchbacks

to deliver essential goods

to a city that's been cut off
all winter.

I'm scared out of my mind.

These truckers
are risking everything...

- He's dead?
Oh, my gosh.

In trucks unlike
anything they're ever driven.

You get his in this thing,

you got no protection
whatsoever.

In North America,

trucks are constructed
with a steel frame

that protects the driver
in a crash.

The Tata 1613's just an engine
and wheels on a chassis

with a wood frame.

And in a collision,
there's rarely anything left.

- You get hit, it's gonna be
like driving around

with a Matchbox on wheels.

It's just gonna be sticks
everywhere.

Three truckers...

- I want to go home
to the Dalton where it's safe.

Two months...

- This is survival
of the fittest at its best.

A race
at the top of the world.

At a small trucking company

on the outskirts
of the capital city...

Lisa, Rick, and Alex

inspect the rigs they'll drive
for the next two months.

- Decorations
are definitely gaudy.

They like everything
pretty bright.

Steering wheel's on the opposite
side of the truck.

It's gonna be interesting
dealing with that.

- I just want these fans
to work.

This one's good.

It's got highlights in blue
just like my hair.

We're looking for the boss.

What's a spotter?

Every trucker
in the country

rides with a spotter.

In the city, they help negotiate
the grueling traffic.

And in the mountains,
they're often the only reason

the truck stays on the road
and a trucker stays alive.

Hameed.

Rick.

He will go with you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Tashi.
- Hi.

Yeah, he's Tashi.

And, Sanjeev,
you spot Alex, okay?

So please be careful, okay?

- We're gonna try.
- Yeah, yeah.

- That's good this way?
That's balanced good?

- No problem.
- No problem.

Oh, BLEEP.

I just realized there's
no BLEEP air conditioning.

- Thank you, Lord dear God,
for all your blessings and help.

Please bless me and Sanjeev,

those of us who are riding
in this truck,

the people around this truck,
so nobody gets hurt.

- What do you think
of nicknames?

Do you want a nickname?

I'll give you a Canadian one.

- Ahh.
- Call you "boyo".

You're my boyo.
- Boyo?

Boyo.

Now you got to give me
a nickname.

You think of one.

People call me a parrot,
'cause of my hair.

Okay.

- You like the parrot?
We got boyo and the parrot.

- Boyo and the parrot.
- Boyo and the parrot.

- Boyo and the parrot.
- There you go.

We're gonna have some fun.

Wow. Okay.

- Watch out.
Woman driver coming through.

Go, go, go, go.

Go.

- Going into the heart of hell
right now.

So the streets of Delhi
ain't for any sane person.

Before they hit the mountains,

the foreign truckers
have to get out of Delhi,

a city overflowing
with 19 million people,

just as many animals,

and every kind of vehicle
imaginable.

Oh, yeah, my biggest concern

is driving on the opposite side
of the road.

And these
North American truckers

must steer through the chaos

from the wrong side
of the truck.

- Trying to shift
with this hand.

Look at that.
That's hilarious.

I'm gonna hit somebody.

Ooh.

BLEEP.
Boy, that was close, man.

That was really close.

That guy was just flying.

Inches.

Inches on either side
of the truck.

Speed limit 40.

- 40? I'm going...
I'm going 40.

Keep horning?

- Yeah.
- No, no.

- Horn.
- Horning.

- This place is just...
it's utter chaos.

Like, no one obeys street laws
or even the lines on the road.

Bus is weaving through traffic.

Crazy.

But I think with boyo here,

we're gonna get her there.

Parrot.

Parrot is okay.

- I spend most of my time
bush driving

because I don't like driving
in the city,

and I picked one of the most
crowded cities

in the world to drive in.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

No photographing.
Go, go, go.

- I can't.
What the hell?

15 miles
into the run...

Oh.

What?

People are noticing
the only female driver

in a country of 1.2 billion.

Yeah, I got to go now.

So I'm gonna take a picture
of them staring at me.

There.
Get 'em back.

Look at this.
They're running next to me.

That entire group
that was back there

is walking down the middle
to keep up.

There are gonna be
more accidents

because people
are too busy looking

and they're gonna get in my way,
and I'm gonna run 'em over.

- You basically drive
six inches apart here,

so you have very little leeway
for a mistake.

In a Delhi suburb,
a huge jam engulfs Alex's truck.

- You want me to go that way
over there?

Right, then take a left.

- You want me to go
on that side?

Oh, okay.

Whoa.

In the crowded streets
of Delhi, India,

King of the Ice Road,
Alex Debogorski,

rips off a car door before he's
even made it to the mountains.

Whoa.

Whoa.

They said, "Let's go".

- I didn't have an accident.
Somebody else did.

I think they opened the door

and I turned their door
around to 'em.

Alex wasn't at fault
and his truck's in one piece,

so he's back on the road.

- We did a bunch of damage.
It's not funny.

I mean, we could have hurt
somebody.

That's... you know,
that's not a good thing.

I mean, it was a close call
for those guys.

I mean, I would have felt bad
if I'd ripped that guy's arm off

or ran him over.

15 miles ahead of Alex...

Rick's
finally out of Delhi.

- Can't understand him
right now.

- Sorry.
I'm nervous.

I'm having trouble
understanding you,

so my brain's going like this.

Communication is everything,
'cause I'm completely lost.

I'm just trying to stay
where he wants me to in my lane

and if I don't understand him,

we could get into a whole load
of BLEEP right away.

Either in the street in India,

it's not allowed.

- BLEEP losing it here, man.
I can't understand him.

Where's my water?

Now 20 miles behind Rick...

- Well, I've had
an interesting day so far.

Alex crawls through
the outskirts of Delhi.

And at this point here,

I'm not sure
where Rick and Lisa are.

I haven't seen them
for quite a while.

Really slow.

Over!

Hopefully they're gonna stop.

What the heck?

Get to the right.

No.

- Well, I'll let Sanjeev
handle it.

Go back, keep left.

In minutes,
a crowd surrounds the truck.

This is not good.

I don't know what kind
of territory I'm in here.

You know, it could be the kind
of thing that gets pretty bad.

Alex's spotter, Sanjeev,

is all that stands between
the driver and a mob.

- When they get
really upset here,

they tend to burn the truck down
and kill the people.

So I mean,
that wouldn't be good.

That wouldn't feel very good.

- The crowd's getting bigger,
I can just see.

Lock the door.

40 miles to the north...

Uh... so flipping hot.

Lisa's out of Delhi
and driving through the plains.

But without air conditioning,

a record heat wave's baking her
inside the 115-degree cab.

- I'm not feeling so good,
though.

I need to get out of the heat.

This Alaskan native's
still having trouble adjusting.

- Yeah, the heat
just kicks your ass.

Just makes you sick constantly.

Nauseated, headache, dizzy,
lightheaded, can't see right.

Back in Delhi...

- It's definitely getting
a little stressful here.

Alex isn't going anywhere.

- Well, I'm really concerned,
you know.

I mean,
time for a little prayer here.

Doesn't matter if you're right
or wrong, you know.

As far as they're concerned,
I'm a rich American,

and they're gonna skin me.

Goodness knows
what's gonna happen next.

I don't really want anything
to do with the police.

Here they are.

I got Sanjeev there
talking to the police.

He actually hit me
in the middle of the truck.

I mean, I didn't hit him.

I mean, I was in the middle lane

and he was coming
from the left-hand side.

You'd think
that I was in the right.

But that's at home, so maybe...

I mean, I seen him coming.

I thought he'd give me
the right of way.

- Let's go.
Slow.

In the chaos of the accident,

the police can't tell
who's at fault

and decide it's safest to just
send away the foreign driver.

- I don't mind running over
the odd car,

but I'm really not very excited
about getting lynched.

I got a heavenly guardian angel,

I've got an Indian Hindi
guardian angel now.

Two.

I guess if I got beat to death,

my wife would really be
pissed off at me.

As Alex falls
further behind,

Rick's hitting
the Himalayan foothills...

- Today I see what the Himalayas
are all about.

Headed for
the mountain city of Shimla,

India's summer capital
during British rule.

The route's been around
almost 3,000 years,

and was once part
of the legendary Silk Road,

a series of trading routes
extending over 4,000 miles

and connecting the ancient
civilizations of China, Tibet,

India, Persia,
and the Roman Empire,

literally laying the foundations
of the modern world.

- A truck that's way
underpowered.

So it's just gonna be a long day
pulling up these BLEEP hills.

The 16-ton truck's
loaded with ten tons of cement

and already struggling in
the steep Himalayan foothills.

- This has got five more
horsepower than my snowmobile.

Back on the ice roads,
the typical 18-wheeler

has a 500-horsepower engine
and ten gears.

But these trucks have only
a third of the horsepower

running through just five gears.

- If I was
in one of my trucks at home,

I'd be doing 110 up this hill.

Here we go, look at this.

Everybody in an impatient hurry.

Almost a head-on right there.

In the underpowered
wooden truck,

traffic streams around Rick,

risking head-on collisions
right in front of him.

- And here comes
an impatient bus.

Look at this.
Look at this!

Damn near head-on!

You see this BLEEP
you send us to?

What the BLEEP is skill
in that?

Here comes a bus now.

Blind corner again.

He can't see BLEEP all,
but he's going anyways.

This country is full
of retarded drivers.

I'm not grooving on this
at all, man.

I don't know; they told me
it was dangerous roads.

I didn't think it was like this.

Go, go, go, go.

Look at this.

BLEEP hate this country.

Bunch of BLEEP no minds!

BLEEP pigs.

Castrate the BLEEP off
with a BLEEP.

As the roads climb higher,

it only gets steeper
and more challenging for Rick.

Just about a head-on
with a bike and a car.

Unsafe.
Completely unsafe.

Unsafe.

- I got a bus behind me
honking his horn

'cause I am not driving
like he would.

Yeah, that's okay, everybody go.

Don't worry about safety.

See, look at this.

It doesn't even seem real
how stupid people drive here.

This is absolutely ridiculous,

because there's no skill,

absolutely no skill whatsoever.

Well, there's a smacked-up car.

It's just a matter of time, man.

That's what we're gonna have
underneath us.

I just can't get it in my head

to just pass people
on blind corners.

Look at this BLEEP.

Mother chode.

Mother chode.

A driver mother chode punk.

Idiots.

Yes, idiots.

Idiots.

Whoa.

Well, I gotta thank God
that I do have fast reflexes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Every corner,
it's almost an accident.

Am I stressed?
To the BLEEP max.

Ooh!

In the Himalayan foothills,

maverick trucker Rick Yemm's
on a narrow mountain road

facing head-on collisions
at every turn.

BLEEP.

Mother chode.

BLEEP bus driver.

- I thought we were getting hit
there, man.

Ooh.

They'll risk their life
to pass a truck

that's going a little bit slow.

Well, the problem is is
when they risk their life,

they risk my life too.

Not like the truck
can take much of an impact.

Let's make a suit of armor
out of chopsticks.

I really don't wanna have
2x4 sized splinters

being pulled out of my body.

Now I know for sure
I ain't winning the lottery.

I'm using up my whole life's
worth of luck in this run.

Look at this.
Look at this!

Ah-oh!

BLEEP, BLEEP,
BLEEP, BLEEP!

And there's no way
I'll let my wife know

what the BLEEP
is going on here.

Get that guy's
license plate number.

I wanna send him
a bouquet of flowers

'cause he waited till
a straight stretch to pass.

Yep, come on around.

Hey, everybody have
a good old time.

Oh, yeah, you might as well
come too.

You can't see either.

BLEEP.

BLEEP.

God, I would so love driving

back in Canada
after this BLEEP BLEEPhole.

40 miles behind Rick
is Lisa Kelly.

- Well, I'm definitely
getting better,

like, now that we're up
in cooler temperatures.

I feel better, and I'm getting
more used to the trucks.

And she's finally
in the mountains.

- I don't know why
I can't even get second.

- Yeah.
- It's like, fourth.

- Yes... no, no, no, no.
- Where is second?

Where is second?
- Yeah.

There is no second.

Back in Alaska,

Lisa uses a modern,
semi-automatic transmission,

but the Tata 1613 uses an
old-school manual transmission,

where pressing the clutch pedal
and changing gears

requires precise timing.

- Why can I not get it
in second?

Without second gear,

Lisa will burn up
the engine in first

or stall out in third.

Where is BLEEP second?

It's not second.

It's first.

Second doesn't exist.

It won't go in second.

- Slow down.
This is reverse.

I told you, this is not first.
Slowly.

To make matters worse,
from first gear,

second's a dog leg right,
located next to reverse.

- How about I don't go
into second?

And traffic keeps
building up behind Lisa.

- Where is it?
- Yes, yes, yes.

- How do you know?
You can tell before I can.

Yes, done it, done it!

Pick it up, go.

Geez.

I don't wanna downshift again.

Still way ahead,
Rick's approaching Shimla...

- Ho, that was
a rough BLEEP go, man.

Where he'll overnight

before pushing on
to the dam site tomorrow.

- Well, I'm just going
to get to where I'm going,

I'm going to drink
a BLEEPload of beer,

and forget this day
ever happened.

Couldn't cut her any closer.

I'm in Shimla,
and it's just getting dark now.

This place is a trip.

- Oh, yeah,
way different than Delhi.

Alex isn't behind us right now.
I wonder what's going on.

He must have fallen behind
or something.

I lost Lisa awhile back.

It doesn't look like
she's gonna be lucky enough

to drive some of that road
without being in the dark.

This is so stupid.

I'm scared out of my mind.

I've never been so scared
in my life.

- I've never been so scared
in my life.

In the Himalayan night,

Lisa shut down while negotiating
a narrow, cliffside road.

Holy crap.

This beats everything.

- There's just as much going on;
I just can't see it now.

Like, they built this road
knowing exactly where you were

gonna have to go off of it.

Earlier in the day,

her shifting problem
set her way behind.

Now, she's just trying to
survive the drive to Shimla

another 20 miles to the north.

- This is very,
extremely scary right now.

Holy crap.

Keep it outside.

- I'm, like, kind of shaking
a little right now.

Yeah, you pretty much
can't see anything

until you're, like,
right on top of it.

Geez.

This has been the scariest part
of the trip, right here...

when I cannot see
how far down it is.

We're getting close to Shimla.

Where's town?

Finally,
Lisa's safe in Shimla,

where she'll spend the night.

- Good job!
- That was horrible.

That was pretty much
the scariest thing

I've ever done in my life.

I'm gonna go to bed,

and hopefully I'll sleep
and not have nightmares.

100 miles to the south...

- Crap,
I should have turned there.

I should have turned left there,
shouldn't I?

Alex Debogorski hasn't
even hit the mountains yet.

- Thinking about today,
it wasn't a great day.

I don't think a guy
should put himself at risk

of getting lynched just for
carrying a fender off a car.

I gotta give it
a little more thought,

but I'm kind of having
second thoughts about this job.

The next morning,

Lisa and Rick are back
at the Shimla truck depot.

- I don't know if Alex
will be back.

I think he got
a little freaked out.

I think it was a little more

than what he thought
it was gonna be.

Me, it's pretty much exactly
what I thought it was gonna be:

utter chaos.

- Yeah, might as well get
blessed.

We need all the help we can get
on these roads.

Hinduism is known as

the world's
oldest living religion,

tracing its roots back
over 7,000 years.

There are countless temples

and almost a billion Hindus
in India.

And on these deadly
mountain roads,

drivers make sure to ask
the gods for safe passage.

Each driver receives a tilaka,

a mark on the forehead
symbolizing the mind's eye.

Gifts of holy water and sweets
complete the ceremony.

I've heard the roads

are extremely dangerous
where we're going.

Like, lots of accidents happen
and stuff,

so I did the blessing thing.

From Shimla,

they'll hit
the notorious Freefall Freeway

and the Cutouts

before arriving
at the J.P. Corporation

hydroelectric project,

a route so dangerous,
even the trucks get blessed.

- I've christened a truck
with beer before,

but I don't think
that's really a blessing.

- I don't know if he put
a voodoo curse on me or what.

You take this,
stick it anywhere you want.

That's how I get luck.

Keep on trucking.

Okay.

Let's go.

- We're just heading
out of Shimla,

heading for the J.P.
hydroelectric dam project

with our cement.

And the madness begins.

170 miles to the south,

Alex is back in Delhi.

- Today, I've decided
to take a break and reset.

The commonsense, logical option
is for me to go home.

Alex Debogorski,
the battle-scarred veteran

with 38 years on the ice roads
is headed home

after just one day of driving.

This is not good.

Looking over
what's happened yesterday,

the whole thing with the mob.

The smart guys would put
the money and go home.

It'd probably give me
a few more years of life.

170 miles to the north,

Rick and Lisa are headed deeper
into the Himalayas.

These mountains were born
around 65 million years ago,

when the Indian subcontinent
slammed into Asia,

and they're still growing faster
than any mountains on Earth...

over two inches a year...

resulting in deep canyons
that can be deadly.

- We're pretty much
on a road trail right now,

and I just noticed
a nasty little bridge,

it looks like.

I don't trust nothing
in this country.

Bridges?
BLEEP, no.

They got no building code here
whatsoever.

So am I nervous?
Yeah.

These are old bridges.

Let's get out
and take a look at it.

I don't know, boyo.

It's an old piece of BLEEP
for sure.

This bridge I know for a fact
wouldn't pass code.

That's death if I hit
the bottom of that thing.

Even right here,
at the start of the bridge,

there's a structural bolt
that's supposed to be bolted

underneath this I beam here.

And it holds the two I beams
together, and it's gone.

I don't really have a choice.

It's the only way
across this BLEEP.

Okay, well, you spot... make sure.

Ah.

I'm not... I don't like.

- Slow, slow, slow, slow,
slow, slow, slow.

Right, right.

Left.

Yes, yes.
Go.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Drive straight.

Boyo guides Rick to
where the steel looks strongest

and capable of supporting
the fully loaded truck.

Go slow, slow, go.

Oh, BLEEP.

- Left, left, left.
- Oh!

In the world's
highest mountains,

trucker Rick Yemm's
on a decaying bridge

hundreds of feet above a canyon.

Oh, it's making noise.

Slow, slow, slow.

With Rick driving,

the spotter's guiding the truck
over the steel plates

that look strong enough
to hold the 26-ton load.

- Oh, this bridge is making
so much noise, it's not funny.

Right, right, right.

Left, left, left.

Straight.

- I can't really hear him,
but he's using hand signals.

That's all I'm watching for.

And I'm... I'm BLEEP
straight down here.

I'm right at the edge
of this stupid bridge.

If the wheels break through,

the truck
could take out the bridge,

plummeting
into the canyon below.

Slow, slow, slow.

- I got 9,000 KGs
on top of my vehicle weight.

- Slow.
Slow.

Straight, straight.
- Oh, man, two feet.

Hey, hey!

Yes!

BLEEP, I did not like that.

Okay.

I did not like that one bit.

I don't like that.

It's, uh, not my idea
of a good time.

But the next section

of the Freefall Freeway's
even worse:

miles of cliff-hugging roads
carved from solid rock.

This is amazing.

Just carved a hole
right through the mountain.

Little piece left
holding it all up.

I only got a couple of feet
of clearance on this truck

to the top
of where they carved this out.

You even get daydreaming
for a second here...

you're gonna BLEEP up
something bad.

Here, there's barely
enough room for one truck,

much less for oncoming traffic.

- Every corner, you gotta look
as far ahead as you can see

to see if someone's coming.

You go around the corner not
paying attention, don't look,

well, then all of a sudden,
you're surprised by a truck.

Just gonna go out
and check this out.

There's a giant crack
that's right here.

This whole section
could come down,

take the whole road out.

If you're underneath it,
you're dead.

And if you look here...

right there, look.

It's... it's actually cut back in.

You go right down to that river.

You wouldn't hit the bottom
till about 2,000 feet down.

That's pretty tight right there.

So it always makes you think.

Like, what's actually
gonna be there?

Are you gonna make it or not?

Ten miles behind Rick
and 300 feet above the gorge,

Lisa's spotter is guiding her
over the aging bridge.

Halt.

Go back over.

Go back?

What?

BLEEP, you mean this stuff
isn't attached?

We're just falling apart.

He says come this way.

That'd be bad if one of these
pieces flipped up under the tire

and then hit the other tire

or knocked it off-center
and fell through.

There.

We're done with that piece.

- I been driving
for ten kilometers

with 100% straight
vertical drops.

Those buses drive like madmen
on this BLEEP.

Ridiculous.

I'll put a million dollars on it

I end up tying up
with one of them.

Truck drivers are paid
for safely delivering the load.

But bus drivers make more cash
for a quicker trip,

pushing them to take excessive
risks on the deadly roads.

Green bus.

See?
Look at the BLEEP.

I thought once we got up here,
we'd see less of them.

There's just as many up here.

Yeah, they don't give a flying
BLEEP, them bus drivers,

if they push you
off a big cliff or not.

There's a huge cliff right here.

Just bulls his way through.

On the Freefall Freeway,

death can be
just a blind corner away.

Green bus.

Look at this clown.

MotherBLEEP.

I see a bus driver stopped,

I'm gonna punch him.

Punch.

- BLEEP idiots.
- Idiots.

Didn't slow down a bit.

White-knuckled on
the BLEEP wheel just to...

Every corner you get into there,

it's a head-on collision
almost happening.

There's a prime example
of a BLEEP-up.

Just got stopped just in time

before he plummeted
off the cliff.

I'm going home
at the end of this trip.

No bus driver's BLEEP me up.

Load's important,
and it's gotta get there quick,

but I ain't BLEEP dying
for it.

Ten miles back,
Lisa's hitting the Cutouts.

It's pretty scary.

There's, like,
a mountain below us.

As Lisa pushes forward,

oncoming traffic pushes her
closer to the edge.

- They have
lots of place here.

Don't worry.
I'm with you.

So keep left.

Slow down.

Give him way.

Keep left.
Keep left.

Keep left.
He'll go.

- I don't wanna bump off
the edge of this.

Go, go, go, go.

Keep left.

Lots of place here.

Keep left.
Keep left.

I do not wanna go left there.

Going to be walls and walls.

Ahead, we get more walls.
Go, go.

You're scaring me.

Right between the rocks.

- I'm so sick of hearing
the horn,

but on these corners,
I'm more than happy to use it.

Whoa, we are way up here.

It's a long way down.

I wanna go home to the Dalton
where it's safe.

- Oh, I respect this road
completely.

Like, anything
can happen to you here.

There's no guardrails.
It's sheer drop-offs.

Most of the road is only built
for one truck.

You get cocky,
start driving BLEEP-up here,

you're gonna pay the price
big time.

We're just pulled
into the construction site.

Looks like a great big thing
going on up here.

Go, go, go, go.

At the J.P.
Corporation's Tapri facility,

Rick's completing
his first run alive.

And yes!

The A-Team is here first.

Boyo and the Parrot
get the load here first.

I did not blow my first load,

and I'm feeling
pretty good about it.

What?

And just behind Rick,
Lisa's also made it.

The two veteran
ice road truckers

were tested on one of deadliest
roads in the world...

And got the job done.

Looks like they got it.

I just had to do
the driving part.

You heard anything
from Alex or what?

No.

I'm going to the airport.

Well, I've decided to leave

because we had
a pretty stressful day there.

I think
it's the logical thing to do.

It's a lot more relaxed
sitting behind the driver

than it is sitting up there in
the truck going down the road.

He's gonna have to worry
about getting run over

or run into
or runnin' into stuff.

I've got my stories here
that I can take home with me,

and I've survived the day.

At this point, I think
that I need a bit of break.

I guess you could say

India's got the best of me
at this point.

Up in the Himalayas,

with their load
safely delivered,

Lisa and Rick are officially
done with their first run.

Pop the top off a cold beer,

and then that's it for today,
and then back to her tomorrow.

Tomorrow, they'll
push deeper into the mountains

and off the Freefall Freeway

up a narrow set of switchbacks
named "the Ledge"...

That's got to be 3,000 feet.

Where Lisa reaches
her breaking point.

Go, go, go.

- I don't wanna go anywhere.
I'm done.

And a new driver arrives

to take on
the world's deadliest roads.

- Oh, look at this.
A head-on collision.

Mass confusion.

But by the end of the season,

only one trucker will make it
through the final load.
