What can we expect from this episode

Highways Maintenance and Al are kept busy guiding drivers up the highway, while Team Aggressive makes their way through the snowy chaos to join Reliable Towing’s Dylan on a recovery. Jamie uses his LA Rotator to help truckers stuck in the snow, and AJ ventures into the snowy backcountry alone to rescue a stuck service truck.

Highway Thru Hell focuses on a team of drivers who work for Jamie Davis, along with several other heavy recovery operations fighting to keep the roads open in some of the most dangerous working conditions ever seen on TV. The Coquihalla and nearby highways through BC’s Cascade Mountains have some of the most difficult and fast changing road conditions anywhere. When it’s snowing hard up top on the summit of ‘The Coq’, 1200 metres below its pounding rain in The Fraser Valley. Add to that, Canada’s busiest trucking route to the West Coast, Highway 1 (Trans Canada Hwy), and you have the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ of trucking. Police and highway maintenance crews depend on Highway Thru Hell’s heavy rescue operators to respond at a moment’s notice in the worst conditions. In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road’ skills are put to the test. The rugged terrain near Hope, British Columbia dishes out some of the most unique and challenging recovery jobs over steep cliffs, down deep ravines and even in bodies of water. Highway Thru Hell is ultimately a series about man versus Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business being pushed to their breaking point. The stakes are high – lives, the economy and thousands of jobs depend on the highways staying open, and the last line of defense is Heavy Rescue.
