Series from 2009
A family-owned business ferries timber along the rough roads of Maine.
In a week where bad news seems to be the only news, the crews hustle to make up for lost time. Then two drivers crash their monster log hauling trucks sending shock waves through the Pelletier family that is fighting to keep their timber business alive.
Pelletier Inc. is falling behind on the weekly quota so Eldon takes a dangerous risk by doubling the loads to the mills. The Pelletier family pulls together to help an employee and the delay leads to another financially disastrous week.
A hurricane makes for the Pelletiers' most disastrous week of production yet. Rain and mud slow tree cutting down and create danger on the roads. As the family tries to catch up, a driver spills his load and Wayne manhandles a double through sludge.
The brothers battle through mud and muck leading to treacherous conditions for hauling. Then, a 40 year veteran driver is injured as his truck rolls in a dangerous accident.
A long awaited snow storm brings what is deemed "white gold" as the ground is frozen and more timber can be harvested. But icy roads cause skidding trucks and a near head-on collision between father and son.
A Nor'easter drops a foot of snow and the subzero temperatures lead to frozen machines in the woods. Meanwhile, a driver loses control of his rig on a snowy hair pin turn and nearly flips his truck into a creek.
