When he come down that hill, he just lost his brakes,
and come off that corner.
Hit an electric pole, transformer on the ground.
Any kind of situation like this, you're
going to be in the hospital.
This guy's lucky to be alive.
When we do set it up, we're gonna
have to hold it up, and then get it going back up the hill,
with this weight behind us.
Sure don't want to lose our brakes, or lose our clutch,
and go backwards, and jackknife everything,
and tear a bunch more stuff up.
Let's call him.
Oh, boy.
OK.
This diesel is running out could, even end up in the lake,
or end up in the water streams.
The only way to try to get it to stop is to upright it.
That's going to be a bugger.
KEVIN: We're gonna get everything cleaned up.
We will probably do every bit of it tonight.
I think we're gonna back in here at a pretty good 45.
We gotta reach over the top of that thing
and bring it to us, because we can't
get down there at that house.
If we stand this thing up, and if it was to go backwards,
we'd run right through that house.
We're going to block the tires, we're gonna change the tires.
We're gonna make sure everything happens where it stands up,
and it stays there.
We don't want to make anymore damage
than what's already happened.
This is a pretty bad little deal here.
Easy, Nick!
Easy.
Hold it. Hold it.
Whoa!
Well, we're done right there.
We got that son of a bitch stuck.
It's just too slick.
It won't move.
Most generally, in the tow truck business, if you get stuck--
what do we do?
We call a bigger tow truck.
In this case, there is no bigger tow truck.
What else you gonna have?
We've got to get creative.
KEVIN: It's just too slick.
It won't move.
It's not like it's buried stuck, it's just stuck on-- on top.
So it's not going nearly as easy as we thought,
or we hoped it would.
We're gonna have to pull this thing out.
If we don't have anything to pull it out with, I'm done.
We're gonna have to get a dozer, or something,
to even get it out.
I mean, we can't get another wrecker in here.
I've got one of the biggest tow trucks in the country.
I back it in here like I'm bad boy, and I know what I'm doing.
And I get this thing stuck.
I get out of the tow truck, I--
I feel about this small.
Can't get no traction, so we've got a traco coming to pull
us forward a little bit.
That ain't the way I envisioned my tow truck tonight.
In the mud, stuck.
It doesn't matter if it takes us 10 more hours, or 2 more hours.
We're staying until the job is done.
Hey, hey!
Now we can do a little more work.
We'll have that traco help us to get out of here.
We're gonna pull the truck out here from the rear.
I'm ready.
KEVIN: Easy, Nick!
Easy.
Woo.
Finally get it out of the mud there.
Set up right here, and let's get it upright.
We need another 8 foot green hookup chain.
We're gonna take some straps, we're
going to go around the top of this thing,
pull it up from the heavy side.
We're gonna pull down on the tires.
We've got to get us some rotation here,
then we're going to bring this thing
right back where it should be.
That's the plan.
Here it come.
Out we go.
Dang it This stump is a problem.
We gotta do something.
We're probably going to have to wrap a chain,
and I'm gonna have to try to use nine, and winch it that way.
Because if it gets in between the tires and that
back outrigger, we're screwed.
Then we're gonna have to pick the whole back of the truck
to get the stump out.
We've got to use another wrecker and pull the stump out.
It'll get her ran out.
You might as well hook it.
Go ahead!
NICK: Whoa!
Man, this son of a gun ain't budging.
I'll tell you that much.
KEVIN: Chad, do you have your chainsaw?
We have millions and millions of dollars of equipment out here.
What it comes down to is a $150 chainsaw saving the day,
and being able to make the operation move forward.
Who would have ever have thought?
NICK: We're good right there.
That's good.
KEVIN: Up she comes.
NICK: Yeah, baby.
Good job.
We're going that way, you know?
It won't be in our way.
So we'll be OK.
The tree stump being in the way
was almost disheartening, uprighting the truck.
But it's out of there now.
Job done successfully.
The odds were stacked against us right off the bat.
We get the darn tow truck stuck.
That cost us two hours, waiting on a traco to get here.
You can't plan for those things.
We finally got it coming up, and got it coming our way,
and everything was gravy from there.
