Todd Dewey faces a challenging task of pulling a massive excavator over a snow-covered hill. The load is too heavy, and the incline is steep, causing the snowcat to stop. To overcome this, Todd calls for assistance from an emergency driver and an excavator. With teamwork, they manage to push the load over the hill. However, Todd still needs to drag the 70,000-pound load across the terrain. With careful maneuvering and coordination, the convoy successfully completes the task, celebrating their achievement.
