you gotta really watch your bactraffic control... Tarting to ice over with all the snow comiter. Nna have to be very careful out there, because we're relying on him for n this fast. [narrator]: bill will have to be a q [ken]: we better get out of here before the weather gets any worse. I know. [narrator]: ...as conditions deteriorate. Getting very coldand snowing now. Give me your straps. Okay, spin around, watch the traffic. Yup! [narrator]: ken coordinates the plan... Stay over that way a little bit! [narrator]: ...and bill backs into position. Crank 'er hard! Crank 'er hard! [ken]: we don't want to be out on this road. We're gonna cause another accident. Good. Okay, let's get 'er! [narrator]: to get the wreck up to the road, bill will need to pull off a tricky two-stage recovery. Using multiple lines from the truck, the plan is to roll the pickup onto its wheels, then slide it up the bank. Take a little bit, bill. Snug 'er up. We'll turn the back end a bit before we flip 'er. [ken]: he's eager to learn, but this will be a challenge for bill. Keep going. Little bit on the front. Just try to keep it straight. [bill]: okay. Gonna come in a minute here. [narrator]: finally... Got 'er. [narrator]: ...the wreck... Bring 'er over. [narrator]: ...is on its wheels. [ken]: okay... Gonna get this front end up a little bit more. Yup! But now he's gotta get moving, and get it right up on the road. [narrator]: but as bill begins to winch... Can you go higher? [narrator]: ...the wreck digs in. Shoot out a bit, go out a bit. You're pulling a lot of dirt underneath there. Yeah, I see that. I'm really starting to feel the pressure now. It's jammed in. It's all ice. [ken]: we've got a vehicle that's pushing dirt, not coming out the way we want it. Not a good scene. Come on. [narrator]: with the highway still down to one lane, and the weather getting worse... Keep going! [narrator]: ...ken's crew need to get off the road. Whoop! [horn blaring] Tomorrow on Your Morning... A sneak peak into the largest Banksy exhibit in the world that's coming to Canada.

Easy... [narrator]: ...race to clear a wreck off highway 7... This is his first rollover. It's a real test. [narrator]: ...but bill's recovery... [ken]: he's pulling a lot of dirt underneath there. [narrator]: ...hits a snag. [ken]: he's jammed in. It's all ice. The wheels are jammed, so it's pushing a lot of dirt. We need a new plan, and we need it now. [narrator]: with a storm rolling in... Let's shovel some of that dirt out of the way there. [narrator]: ...the 63-year-old operator gets physical... [ken]: it's jammed up in there good. Kenny's up there in age, but he just does his job. He just knows what to do, and he just does it. Give 'er a tug? Yeah, just take a little lift. We're just about up. Go up high. Pick it up. There you go. [clanking] good. [narrator]: the wreck is out of the ditch. Easy. There you go. [narrator]: now, with ken coaching... What I want you to do, drive ahead, nice and easy... [narrator]: ...it's up to bill to finish the job. Hop in there. [narrator]: to pull it off, he'll have to shut down the entire highway. Now you've got the pressure on. Okay! Crank 'er, put 'er in low! Easy! Easy! Easy, now. Little more. Easy! There we go. Perfect. Perfect. Let's hook 'er up. [ken]: now it becomes a real rush job. Got 'er? There you go. [narrator]: with a hands-on lesson from a legend, bill's first rollover is on its way. Okay, watch out! Drive on ahead. [ken]: bill and ryan did a great job, they both worked quite hard here. Good job, buddy. Thank you. [bill]: ken's been around a long time. I just have the greatest respect for him. Keep it up, now. Towing is more of a young man's game... But I do still love recovery work. It's been in my blood my whole life. [narrator]: in hope... [engine revving] so that's a problem, too. It's not working, eh? [narrator]: ...jamie's heavy classic, the general, is getting some much-needed maintenance. It's gonna snow tonight, and I want it done tonight. [jamie]: this year we're expecting a really long and drawn-out winter, and I'm excited to put this truck through the test. [narrator]: two nights ago... That's a heavy pull, man. [narrator]: ...jamie worked the 45-ton wrecker hard... Come on, buddy. Yay! [laughs] we got 'er. The general's almost 40 years old, and still doing the job that it was built and designed to do. It's a powerful, powerful machine. [narrator]: ...but with another storm only hours away... We gotta get this thing back up and running. Okay, I'll, uh, drag a bag of tools in. [narrator]: ...jamie's crew needs to get the general ready for battle. I'm still fine-tuning things, getting ready for the season. That's really our front-line truck right now. [colin]: jamie's old trucks, there's a lot more maintenance and stuff required on 'em, and they just might not be ready for the hill. It's risen to the occasion every time we've used it. Time will tell. You're not gonna win every battle, but if you're successful a majority of the time, that's a win. [narrator]: next time on highway thru hell... Rumble in the jungle. [chainsaws droning] [narrator]: al's crew...
