The eight-episode, one-hour docu-series follows two real-life crews, led by brothers Craig and Brent Lebeau, as they risk is it all for the haul and their logging businesses in the steepest, muddiest conditions in North America
Craig Lebeau and his team are pushed to the breaking point after a serious accident with a fully loaded logging truck traps their lead driver. With mud on the mountain– the worst it has been in years – the accident forces everyone to re-examine whether having the most dangerous job in Canada is worth it.
When Craig's little brother Brent cuts corners to get extra wood off the mountain, a mistake shuts the entire operation down; with the business hanging in the balance, Craig needs to decide if he can bail Brent out.
Craig's newest driver must prove himself on Mud Mountain; facing ice, muck and massive pressure, Theron tries to stay ahead of the fleet, only to be stopped by someone else's mistake.
Things go south when Craig's brother Brent borrows a logging machine, leading to a risky mountainside recovery; veteran log hauler Dan Millar battles rough roads and torn up tires to make it to the mill.
Trouble on the traction line leaves Craig frust endless breakdowns; a driver fights a chronic back injury to keep the trucks moving and a log hauler goes off the road forcing an all-night rescue.
An early spring thaw turns a road building project on a mountain cutblock into a muddy battle for Brent and Taylor; Craig locks horns with his son-in-law over a mechanical breakdown; the boss receives a call that could jeopardize his entire operation.
With the last mill shutting down, Craig shifts into overdrive; the late season push hits hard on the crew and the equipment; as breakdowns add up, star driver Taylor hits his breaking point, forcing a stand-off with the boss.
The LeBeau brothers' fleet battles muddy, sinking roads to get the last logs down the mountain before spring break up sends them all home; on a steep cutblock, Craig rolls a buncher for the first time, sending his crew scrambling to get him out of the smoky machine.
Craig LeBeau and his crew set up camp on Gollen; things start out well until bad weather and a stuck truck derail their operation; Brent's clearing a snowmobile trail for a ski resort but a mechanical oversight and impending snowfall may cost him the entire job.
A loader malfunction causes a huge bottleneck on the landing; tempers flare when Craig and Taylor attempt to relocate the 65-ton winch machine; the Glovers are moving to a new block on Erie Mountain but a critical piece of machinery goes down.
Craig and his crew log a burned section of forest north of Kamloops, but the lethal mix of ash and rainwater takes a toll on the machines and the crew; Brent and his crew clear a fire guard around a client’s homestead to protect it from wildfires.
The Glovers fight harsh winter conditions on the highway while low bedding their 45-ton winch machine to Erie Mountain; when winter slams Gollen, Craig steps up his exit strategy, but breakdowns and a collision on the block threaten to delay the job.
Craig and the crew are back at home, logging a local block called Badger; Kylee discovers Badger's logging road is no less treacherous than Gollen; heavy snow buries Brent's plan to haul logs off of one of his blocks.
Craig and the crew are back in camp to log Saddle Ridge; the crew discovers the block is chock full of boulders, making it impossible to log; one of the Glover’s winch machines spews thick white smoke; they receive bad news from the government.
With road restrictions and spring break-up on the horizon, $1 million dollars’ worth of timber could be stranded unless Craig figures out a plan; Brent is behind on logging and clearing a campsite and avoids catastrophe while uprooting a giant tree.
The Glovers race to get their wood and machines off Erie Mountain before government road restrictions shut them down for spring; Craig’s crew is rushing to get the stranded wood off the landing before break-up drives them out of the bush.
