Documentary following tow truck drivers in California. The teams tackle jackknifed trucks as the first big snow of the season hits.

Gach geamhradh, air Prìomh-rathad a h-Ochdad ann an California, faisg air Bealach Donner agus baile Truckee, tha trì sgiobaidhean de thobhadairean a' cur am beatha ann an cunnart gus draibhearan ann an èiginn a shàbhaladh agus a thobhadh. Seo fear dhe na rathaidean as cunnartaiche ann an Aimearaga, agus tha am program seo a' leantainn dhraibhearan a dh'fhaodas
faighinn suas ri còig-deug calla san latha. Bidh aca ri a dhol a-mach ann an cabhadh agus ann an stoirmean reòithte, agus còmhla ri sneachd is cabhadh, tha leathadan cas, carbadan ann an craobhan, agus fiù 's naoidhean gu bhith air a bhreith.

Tha a' chiad chabhadh dhen gheamhradh air tighinn, agus tha a' bhuil air traifig Bealach Donner. Tha Becky agus Edgar a' strì gus làraidh mhòr, a th' air a dhol tarsainn air an rathad an iar, fhaighinn air ais an-àirde. Chan eil tobhadair eile ag iarraidh cuideachadh bho Eddie, nuair a thàinig e a thoirt cobhair dha tobhadair a thèab a bhith air a bhualadh san aghaidh le sèine-tobhaidh.

Every treacherous winter on California's US Interstate 80, near Donner Pass and the small town of Truckee, three teams of hardcore tow truck drivers risk their lives rescuing stranded and wrecked motorists littered across one of the most dangerous roads in America. It is all about high risk and high reward, with each driver responding to as many as fifteen calls a day, sending them out in blinding blizzards and ice storms in the dead of night.

The first big snow of the season hits, tangling traffic along the Donner Pass. Becky and Edgar struggle with a big rig spread across the entire westbound highway. Eddie is rebuffed in his offer to assist a competitor clear another jackknifed truck when a snapped tow chain just misses his face.
