What "Ice Road Truckers" 10-th episode about
With the sun beating down on the ice, the road is melting at an accelerating rate. This means that it's all hands on deck for the demobilization of the drilling sites at Langley and Mallik, which must be broken down and hauled away before they're swallowed up by Arctic waters. Northwind owner Kurt Wainman leaves his office behind and jumps into a truck to contribute to the effort. Kurt meets a convoy of 'highway maggots' on the way and has nothing but choice words for this group of 'scab' drivers from the south. Trucker Jim Gattie volunteers for a dangerous mission; he'll haul three sled trailers at once, carrying two diesel tanks and drilling supplies in one mega-load. With the close of the season in sight, Eric and Hugh continue to vie for the title 'King of the Ice Road.' Eric holds the lead for the moment, but Hugh is making a final push that might put him out in front.
