#6 - Lost On The Ice
Season 2 - Episode 5 - Aired 7/6/2008
After the storm clears, most of the truckers are ready to roll--all except Rick, who is on the verge of quitting and looks to Hugh for advice. For a second time, Jerry attempts the MGM camp move, including the transport of an expensive 50-ton derrick. He's assigned two of his best truckers to the task, which includes a risky practice called "Two Trucking," where the cargo is simultaneously loaded onto two trucks--one to provide the main power, and the other to keep the derrick from fishtailing around curves in the road. This awkward and massive load could tax the ice to its breaking point. At the same time, Alex embarks on a run to an unfamiliar location, Aput. When he misses his turn off, he is lost, confused and out of communication in a place where one wrong turn can find him on fragile ice.
