(laughter) (applause) The wake up crew with Brad and Laura! Entertainment for the whole family to get the day started. We're Thunder Bay's radio station, 91-5 ckpr. Come on. You bastard. [narrator]: on the coq... [cable pinging] [narrator]: ...a frayed winch line... James! [narrator]: ...threatens to unravel reliable towing's recovery. Okay! Hold it! Stop. Getting down to the last few strands on kyle's line. I don't have a lot of cable left on that one. [james]: this trailer's leaning so hard, this is definitely not what we need. I can't pull anything on that cable right now. I just need you to keep tension. Well, you've got tension on it right now, right? Yeah, okay. [james]: we are so close to having this thing on the road that I make the decision to chance it. [kyle]: the line's fraying, so there's no structural integrity to the line anymore. I just got to keep letting it out, so that way james can keep pulling the truck out. Okay, ready, kyle? Yeah. [frame creaking] come on. [james]: it's a big risk, because that cable could break at any second...

but we gotta get this job done and get the highway opened fully. Straight, turn the wheel straight. Try and move forward slow. [narrator]: the driver adds some throttle. Come forward. Keep goin', keep goin'... -[narrator]: finally... -he's out. [narrator]: ...the loaded pulp truck is on the road. There we go. [chuckles] that was fun. [james]: someone upstairs was watching out for us, and just let the cable stay all together, and now we're going to be heading out of here. I'm glad to see him out. [narrator]: a hard-fought victory for team reliable... Good job, brother. [narrator]: ...and one happy customer. It's drivable, which is miraculous. Thanks a lot, bud. -on your way? -appreciate it, man, yeah. I'm going home tonight, so I'm happy about that. It feels really good, actually, seeing the driver really happy. [narrator]: in the valley... [narrator]: ...a rain-soaked wreck... [narrator]: ...is pushing aggressive towing's 50-ton rotator to the limit. What should have weighed in around 30,000 pounds, I think we're pushing 55, 56,000 pounds on the back. [narrator]: the wet silt is like heavy concrete. -i gotta get it close to me. -yes. [narrator]: merv and jason need a new plan. Tighten this line up, leave the other one down, and then just kinda... And then bring it over to you. [narrator]: instead of lifting the entire wreck... We're kinda going for a drag method versus a lift. [narrator]: ...they'll try to slide it up to the road. [narrator]: the wet load begins to plow its way up the bank. [merv]: you're paying attention to the way the truck's reacting to the recovery, how it's coming out of the ditch, how much further I can follow it with my boom. Little more. A little more. [narrator]: with the back end part-way out... Okay, set it down. [narrator]: ...the recovery shifts to the front. [merv]: we're gonna be pulling on the nose of the tractor, trying to get it up to come to the road, and I'm going to be on the tail end of the end dump. [narrator]: as the tractor creeps forward... [narrator]: ...merv keeps swinging the loaded dump box around toward his rotator... [narrator]: ...but the closer the wreck gets to the road... [narrator]: ...the more the rotator is in harm's way. Yeesh. Holy. [merv]: if you're going to be swinging around the side supporting this much weight, you do stand a very good chance of it smashing into your tow truck. Oh, whoa!

That was it finding its happy place. [narrator]: ...has narrowly missed aggressive towing's rotator. [jason]: if the rotator got hit by the dump truck, it would cost me money, and it would damage my perfectly pretty unit. [narrator]: the loaded dump truck is only part-way out. Jason and merv need to get the highway re-opened. [merv]: when they give you a short period of time, every second counts. You've definitely got to figure out your next plan real quick. [narrator]: once again, merv will take his 50-ton rotator right to the edge. You're able to push a little bit, but you don't want to go too far. Down, down, down, down, down, yeah. [narrator]: the 75,000-pound truck... [narrator]: ...is finally on the road. Let's see if it starts. [starter turning over] [narrator]: ...and incredibly... Beautiful. [narrator]: ...the truck still runs. Look at that, not even a "check engine" light. [jason]: our guys did really well. Even when we're improvising and changing up things, we still did it in a timely fashion, so we're very, very happy. [merv]: I think all in all it went really well. Truck's out of the ditch, it's still in one piece. And it actually managed to drive itself away, so... I think that's pretty good. [narrator]: one hour before dawn... [narrator]: ...mission towing's dylan greenwood has been called out to an off-road job in the hills west of hope. ...to recover a pickup truck that's rolled off the bank. [narrator]: it's the kind of job that makes dylan's boss, ken duperon, nervous. Some of these roads are very, very dangerous, and very narrow. You've gotta know where to go, and you gotta know when to stop,
