In the world's highest mountains...
are roads only the best can survive...
This is the worst stretch.
It's just brutal.
Where the road averages a death
every 4 1/2 minutes.
Ah!
Two months ago, three North American truckers
arrived in India...
- Steering wheel's on the opposite side of the truck.
To prove they can haul any cargo...
- It doesn't matter how bad the road is you throw at me;
I'll adapt and overcome and do the job.
On any roads...
- I want to try this road because everyone says it's hard.
I'm all about that.
In any trucks.
You get hit in this thing,
you got no protection whatsoever.
After ice road veteran Alex Debogorski
couldn't make it out of Delhi...
- I guess you could say India's got the best of me.
An Alabama long-hauler took his place.
- They claim to be the most dangerous.
My goal is to conquer those roads
and come home safely.
The truckers were tested
on the Freefall Freeway...
the Cut-outs...
the Ledge...
- We're dead. I'm gonna fall off the edge.
And climbed the 13,000-foot Rohtang Pass...
Rohtang Pass, baby.
A route so deadly,
its name translates to "Pile of Corpses".
He's dead?
And in the face of death...
They just found some bodies.
They've faced their fears...
I'm scared out of my mind.
The people that are bravest,
they have the fear and they work through it
and they do it anyway
and that's how they become great people.
And looked within themselves.
- For them to even have two meals a day is massive.
If these Buddhists can make a four-year commitment
to what they do,
I can make a commitment to not get angry today.
But now their final load
will be the most dangerous cargo of their lives.
A lot of people stranded,
so the helicopters need the fuel
so that they can take supplies to the people.
Jet fuel.
- Hopefully it doesn't blow up on the way.
Three truckers...
- Man, this is getting uglier by the minute.
Two months...
I didn't come to India to die.
Only one driver will complete the last load.
- We're loading up helicopter fuel right now.
Gonna deliver it to a helipad.
There was a bad storm on top of the Rohtang,
and there's a lot of people stranded in it,
so the helicopters need the fuel
so that they can take supplies to the people.
At the truck depot in Manali,
Dave Redmon and Lisa Kelly
are loading up for the last time in India.
- This is the last trip that we have over the Rohtang Pass.
- Most dangerous load we've carried so far.
Hopefully, it doesn't blow up on the way.
We've already got a leaker.
Man.
- This stuff here's already leaking out of the barrels.
We got a wooden floor, a wooden truck.
You know, this stuff soaking into everything.
I mean, if it was to light,
it'd probably be a really pretty fireball.
- I'm hoping to end on a good note.
We can get this done safely and just survive,
and it's, like, we're all wore out,
so my mission today
is to be extra super-sweet to everyone,
because we are so done with this.
I just won't feel comfortable
until we're out of these trucks and stopped.
Let's get the tailgate up and get out of here.
- I think we're good to go there.
- Yeah, we're just gonna have to be careful, you know?
Just drive slow, try not to hit nobody on the way up there.
Sanjeev, let's get the hell out of here.
- Is there any way you could ask Sanjeev
not to smoke around the flammable fuel
or is that just not gonna work?
- Sanjeev? - Yes?
Flammable.
Okay.
- All right. We're gon' take off.
- Okay. Here we go.
About ready to try this flammable stuff
right up the pass.
- It's a hell of a load to go out on.
From Manali,
Lisa and Dave are hauling the jet fuel
over the Rohtang Pass to a helipad in Sissu,
where a rescue operation is based.
- Last few days, the Rohtang Pass has been closed
due to unexpected heavy snowfall in the month of June.
Yesterday, we had some rescue calls
and we evacuated people from the Chandra valley.
- We heard about some small children out there.
They have run out of food.
- So we are sending our helicopter
with some relief food,
and if someone is sick, we will bring them back.
Ten miles ahead of Lisa and Dave,
Rick's already loaded with jet fuel
and headed over the pass.
- Last load, and I'm making good time.
With a job and start date
back home on Canada's ice roads,
Rick's under the gun to make the delivery
and get off the mountain.
- Boss told me, "You got to be back here,
or I got to fill your position,"
'cause he's held it as long as he can.
So I got to get my ass back to Canada,
or I lose my job.
Out of the way.
Coming through.
Now they're telling me not to smoke in this one
'cause of the flammable BLEEP in the back.
I want this load over with, so I'm not stopping.
But I'm dying for a cigarette at the same time.
I'll probably freak out from not having a cigarette
and drive off a cliff or something.
Look at this.
Idiot. Argh!
Yeah, move over.
Little car squeeze out a big truck on the road,
want us to go to the cliff.
Maybe this will be the day that Rick BLEEP loses it completely
on the Rohtang Pass.
Well, let's just hope I don't end up
like this on the last trip.
We ain't even hardly moved
a mile away from the truck depot.
I know.
Yeah, it's almost like
everything is flowing really good
until we start these trucks up and the whole world stops.
So far, I don't have any regrets about letting the spotter go.
Hey, Toshi, I got an idea. - Yeah?
- I'm still giving you the day off.
- I really do. I really need to. - Uh-huh.
- I was getting stressed every moment of every day
and now I can only get stressed for half the day.
I came here, and I'm finishing,
and I'm gonna feel proud of myself
for finishing something that was so difficult
and hard to do.
It's important to me that I learn from all of this
rather than just go home with nothing.
- I just have to stay focused on this drive.
I mean, I can't be thinking about...
scoot that thing over, you dumb BLEEP.
Driving in the middle of the road.
They come right at you head-on like you're just gonna vanish.
The jet fuel we're bringing out here
for the helicopters, you know,
it's about the only way in and out
for these people who get stranded on these mountains,
so it's kind of important that we get it over to them.
And, you know, once we get these barrels off,
we're gonna head back to Delhi and turn these trucks in
and be done with this mess.
- Rain's picking up here quite a bit.
Who knows what it's doing at the top?
Might be snowing at the top.
It's starting to get heavier and heavier and heavier, so...
Look at this guy.
Honking to get around me,
and the traffic's stopped right BLEEP there.
No one's giving an inch here, so you got to sit and wait.
That's all you do is sit and wait.
Ugh.
These guys got to learn,
you don't BLEEP with a man who's dying for a cigarette.
So they block both lanes of traffic
and this is probably what's going on
all the way up the mountain.
That's why we're stuck here.
That's a good traffic jam right here.
How could everything get so BLEEP up in such a big hurry?
I don't have the patience to sit in the truck and not smoke.
- A row of white ants all the way up the hill.
Blow it out your ass.
Look at this guy.
BLEEP are you doing, you idiot?
I don't know how they keep from hitting each other head on.
They come around these curves so fast.
I mean, they just... we can't get a break.
I mean, just non-stop.
I'm on a real hard left turn
with an outcropping sticking over.
It's one lane and absolute gridlock on this corner.
Ain't nobody giving us a break.
- Oh, we're just doing the whole Indian standoff.
Ha!
I mean, this is a joke.
You can only sit so long until you just got to take a stand.
Have to just bully your way through.
It's the only way you're gonna get anything.
You got to reach out and snatch it.
Either way, I got to push those guys back.
Hey, should I just come with you here?
Yeah, right on my ass.
All right, here I am.
Whew.
Look at this BLEEP.
See, now everybody's gonna move over
and make us get on the cliff.
We're right on the BLEEP edge over here.
No room for error.
Okay over there?
Go left. Go left.
Just...
Look at this idiot.
It's a one-lane road.
You got two lanes of traffic.
The car drivers have actually
gotten themselves up against the wall
and made us get on the cliff.
You know, they know this is the safest place
for them is to be up against...
I don't know what the hell he was doing.
It just squished into me.
Hey, we got a mob scene forming in front of us.
Man, this is getting uglier by the minute.
Blow it out your ass.
11,000 feet above sea level,
truckers Dave Redmon and Lisa Kelly
are stuck on a hairpin switchback
while hauling jet fuel to a rescue mission.
It's a one-lane road,
and you got two lanes of traffic.
The car drivers have actually gotten themselves
up against the wall and made us get on the cliff.
You know, they know that this is the safest place for them,
is to be up against the truck.
It wasn't my fault.
Hell, I was just sitting there, and he come ramming up in there.
I don't know what the hell he was doing.
He just... squished into me.
Yeah, we got a mob scene forming in front of us.
Man, this is getting uglier by the minute.
Hey, it's not my fault.
He tried squeezing in over here and... clipped me.
But I can bet they're blaming it on me.
Sanjeev's trying to tell the guy,
just get the hell on down the road
and live with it.
- Just keep going. Let's get out of here.
Oh, yeah, this... it just...
every minute we sit here adds an hour to our trip.
- I know, so why don't we just go?
Yeah, come on.
We're getting out of here.
Drive, go, go.
Slow.
- Yeah, we just need to get the hell out of here,
and not stand around and socialize.
- You know, once Sanjeev says "Go, buddy,"
go means go.
So what happened Sanjeev?
It wasn't my fault.
Hell, I was just sitting there,
and he BLEEP came ramming up in there.
I know.
A little push...
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Yeah, that could've actually
turned into something kind of ugly.
I mean, we had people walking a quarter mile up.
I mean, all these people getting in their cars back here
were wanting to know what was going on,
and it could've turned into something a little bit ugly.
I'm a lone white guy in a mass of Indians,
and odds weren't in my favor there.
1,000 vertical feet above Dave and Lisa...
I just can't believe how fast
this weather changed on us today.
Within 20 minutes to a half hour,
it went from hot and sunny to this.
All right! Ten more feet.
- God, look at the clouds moving in.
Man, this is getting uglier by the minute.
It's totally black behind me.
I mean, the weather's just blowing in really hard.
If this weather moves in by the time we get up,
I mean, there's a chance
we're gonna get stranded in Keylong.
Socked in.
It's pea soup out there.
You can't even see the switchback above us.
Oh, BLEEP!
These BLEEP BLEEP!
The guy BLEEP went on my BLEEP left side.
I'm trying to turn a corner here...
and the BLEEP guys are tucking right in beside me,
I can't even see them.
Turning a switchback here, I just backed into a car.
He keep going?
- Yes, sir, he did. - Eh, that's all right, then.
As long as he keeps going, we don't care.
- He drove away 'cause he knew he was a BLEEP- up
and went on my inside.
- Hey, I can't see 30 feet in front of me, man.
This cloud of fog just rolled in immediately.
- I can't even see down to the next level
that we just came up.
And my prediction is,
we're gonna be stuck in Keylong.
- We can't get stuck on the other side tonight.
You know, we got to get these trucks back to Delhi.
- There ain't no point in going any farther
if we can't anyway.
Yeah.
- We pulled over 'cause it got really foggy really quick.
And the bad weather's moving in, so we're kind of...
kind of deciding whether we should go forward or not,
'cause I have only seen traffic coming this way, against us.
You right above us?
- Yeah, I'm pulled over here in a spot.
It's kind of stupid to be driving anyway.
You can't see anything on my mirrors or nothing.
Everything's fogging up.
With this weather coming in now,
now it's just a complete BLEEP show.
There's this fine line.
These people really need our help.
At the same time, if it's gonna get any worse,
I think we're gonna end up being stranded too.
- This little community's about to not get its fuel.
6,000 miles from home
and 12,000 feet above sea level,
the three North American truckers
are looking for a break in the fog.
It's really clearing up quick.
And I can see all the way over there now.
- All right, yeah, we're gonna get out of here.
We're ready to go.
- Okay, I am ready when you are.
We're moving forward.
- Think we'll be able to make it over?
You think the weather will turn bad on us again?
- Well, I'm hoping it'll stay clear
so we can get up and over this and deliver this load.
Lisa, we'll let this row of cars go,
and then we'll go.
Oh, my gosh.
It's bumper-to-bumper.
- All's I see is cars coming down here
and I don't see any going up.
- I think there's a reason why everybody's turning around
and coming back.
They know something we don't.
- The problem is here is, I haven't got a spotter anymore,
so I can't communicate with any of these cars
coming down the BLEEP hill.
- We need to get Sanjeev to stop somebody and ask him.
When somebody comes this way... - Yeah?
- Yeah, can you jump out and talk to them?
And ask them why they're going back down?
- Yeah. - Okay.
I'll stop them. you jump out and ask them.
Sanjeev, go ask that guy why they're going back down.
- Um, road down, bridge down, bridge.
- Road closed? - Yes.
- Okay. - No.
- This guy right here says the pass is closed.
The bridge is out. There's a rockslide.
Oh, my gosh.
- We got to get turned around and get the hell out of here.
- Do we have a plan for how these people
are gonna get their fuel?
There's got to be something we can do.
We'll figure that out later,
but you need to get turned around.
This guy's saying this is gonna get real bad real fast.
- The last trip ain't happening.
Will you look at all the people coming down?
- All right, I'm gonna turn around right here.
- Hey, keep going back, keep going back.
You're fine, you're fine, you're fine.
Keep going, keep... you're fine.
- It's gonna be a son of a BLEEP
to get this thing turned around.
All the traffic coming down.
- Sanjeev's gonna help you get turned around.
Okay, sounds like a plan.
Sanjeev's stopping traffic, letting me turn around.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
Please look. Good?
Okay, I'm turned around.
We're clear?
Well, it's half snowing now.
This could turn into a snowstorm,
and I could be skidding my way all the way down the mountain.
And it's not the road to be going down
when you can't see.
Drive off a cliff without even seeing it?
Nah.
I didn't come to India to die.
Don't BLEEP honk at me. I'm turning around.
Kind of a fitting way to end this, right?
The pass and Mother Nature's beat us,
more than we beat it.
'Cause they don't joke, trucking out here.
Guys get them rigs turned around?
Yeah, we're moving downhill.
You know, I feel bad
that we couldn't get this load delivered.
You know, they entrusted us to get this load over.
You know, but we also told them that we have
to have these trucks back in Delhi in two days.
- I just hate to think I'm leaving these people
stranded out here.
- Yeah, we know they're stranded.
You know, but we can't go to the top
and get stranded ourselves.
What good would that do?
It's no good if the rescuers need rescuing.
It's kind of disheartening.
Like, you got a load on, you want to deliver it, right?
That's what your job is.
This is the first time I've been completely shut down
on delivering a load.
I just can't believe how fast
this weather changed on us today.
One minute, it's clear; the next minute, it's socked in.
Like, you just can't predict it.
I can't wait to get off this motherBLEEP Rohtang Pass.
So I was hoping
we were gonna come up with a plan B here.
What are we gonna do with this fuel now?
- I mean, we need to come up with a place
to maybe drop it off
down here at the bottom of the hill.
And then they'll have to send a couple more trucks up,
probably tomorrow or the day after.
Hopefully they can get this fuel moved.
It'll all work out in the end.
Uh-oh, what's this?
We're stuck in traffic.
Please, no.
Rush hour?
Yeah.
Two cows walking together is rush hour.
- I'm gonna go check this out, Lisa.
- 10-4, maybe a cow is sleeping in the street or something.
- This is a pretty small town, you know?
This is probably every vehicle in town
stuck here in this traffic.
- I hope we're not pulled over behind people
that are just parked.
Oh, BLEEP.
That's a bad accident right there.
There's a bad wreck up here.
The driver's pinned in.
They're trying to get the driver's door open.
Oh, BLEEP.
That's a bad accident right there.
There's a bad wreck up here.
The driver's pinned in.
They're trying to pry the door open right now.
The whole driver's side of this van is crushed.
Is the driver okay, Dave?
It's real bad.
Oh, my gosh.
This guy apparently had a brake failure.
That's where he took out the wall over there.
There it goes.
His legs are probably crushed.
They were right in the dash. He was stuck in there.
He couldn't get out the passenger side.
They all look alive, but they don't look very good.
- They finally got the woman out that was in the backseat,
pinned in.
Somebody said that... I think she broke her arm.
Aah!
- Yeah, this is one of those situations
that you just don't want to see out here.
I mean... you know, you feel sorry for the people in the bus
that got hurt, you know.
I don't know.
If this had been us, you know, carrying that fuel
and we had lost control and ran into that wall
it could have been pretty catastrophic
with all these people here.
Now they're just shoving the van off the side of the road,
literally picking it up.
Trying to open this road up.
Geez, look at that.
Look at them push it all the way over.
- So let's go back up to the truck.
We've done all we can do here.
They've got it pushed out of the road.
They're gonna let this traffic go in a minute.
We're moving, Lisa.
- You're set? - Yeah.
- Other side. - Yeah.
That was a pretty bad wreck back there.
Three people got broken bones and possibly a fourth.
- It could have been any one of us.
After severe weather
turned them around at 13,000 feet...
And that's good right there.
Dave,
Lisa,
and Rick are back at the depot with jet fuel
that was supposed to be delivered
to a rescue operation.
All right.
Well, that was a great BLEEP- up day so far.
Here we are.
A pretty bad wreck up there.
There's an ambulance right there.
You know, it was a good thing it wasn't one of us,
'cause it would have just been a ball of fire over there.
I was just gonna say that.
- Could have been a hell of a lot worse.
- I mean, what do you guys think about trying to do it tomorrow?
To have these people stranded out in the snow is horrible.
I mean, they might die if we don't get the fuel
to the helicopters and get them food.
- We got to get these trucks back.
- I got work calling me. - We got jobs to go to.
- They'll have to get another trucker to do it
or something.
- Well, I mean, I'm thinking about maybe...
I wonder if I can at least get some over there to them,
like mine.
- What do you mean, you go up over by yourself?
- I'm thinking about it, because...
- First, no spotter, now no backup.
- You shouldn't go up there by yourself.
That's just totally a big mistake.
Hey, you are your own woman.
- But you know, still, being on your own...
you know, safety in numbers.
- I'm just saying that I'm thinking
about the people that are stranded.
And that's all that I've got on my mind right now.
Well, we are too, but...
you're gonna have to take all three of these loads
and put them on one truck.
You're gonna have three times the weight.
You know, all the fuel is gonna be flammable.
You're gonna have three times the trouble
getting up the hill.
- Well, I definitely know about hauling fuel.
I've hauled it before.
So that's not really a problem or an issue.
Maybe if I just go early in the morning
I can beat the traffic up there.
- You're taking an awful big risk leaving now,
'cause you can't tell
what that mountain's doing right now.
It's too dark.
So you could be going into a nasty-ass storm
and not even see it.
Let's go sleep on it,
and then we'll see what happens tomorrow.
Yeah, definitely.
- Oh, she took that load last night.
- Holy BLEEP. She is gone, isn't she?
She snuck out in the middle of the night.
I hope she's okay.
Stupid maneuver.
- We can't just leave people stranded.
You just can't.
I don't really want to go completely on my own.
I'm a total follower, so...
You need to learn not to be.
Barely got enough sleep.
I'm hauling three times the load.
So now I'm, like, a full-on bomb.
It's definitely heavy.
It's definitely out of my comfort zone.
Yeah, this time, I'm really on my own.
I came over the pass without a spotter,
but I had Rick and Dave.
But today I don't have Rick and Dave.
80 miles to the south,
Rick and Dave are headed to Delhi.
- You meet some cool people out here?
Yeah, I got to...
got to pull over and say a quick good-bye
to some people here,
a little family of gypsies that I helped out.
These are for you.
- Think they're still gonna be here?
I hope so.
- We're just sitting here waiting.
- Just showed up at where my little gypsy family was,
and it looks like they've moved on.
Just kind of sucks;
I kind of wanted to get a little closure
and say, "Good-bye, I'm going back to Canada".
Give them some more candy.
You want one of these?
I'll never see them again.
But I'll never forget them.
Better get on the road.
I still got a job to do.
- It's each person's journey that they have to take.
We all had to take our own journeys getting here.
It's amazing to me what a human being can get used to.
I've learned that here.
When I came here, it's like,
"I don't get how you can get used to driving in this stuff".
It just looks like utter chaos.
How can you get used to driving these roads?
They're so scary, it's insane.
This is very, extremely scary right now.
Holy crap.
I've never been so scared in my life.
How could even get used to staring off the cliff
with your tire on the edge?
But surprisingly, and in a shorter time
than I ever possibly imagined,
I've gotten used to it.
And I'm here and I'm doing it,
and I'm right in the middle of the madness.
Torn apart by the weather,
the Rohtang Pass is giving Lisa's jet fuel a beating.
- It's okay. I'm sorry.
He's like, "Okay, it's getting a little rough in here".
I'm hauling three times the load.
And I hope it's all intact.
I'm holding my breath till I get this stuff unloaded.
Just getting into that rock slide area.
There it is.
It's over on the side now.
The Rohtang Pass has been hit and miss.
So maybe this will be a hit.
Maybe I'll get through.
But maybe I won't.
Rick and Dave, they care about me, you know?
They don't want me to get in trouble up here,
'cause it's dangerous up here, you know?
It's super bumpy.
These barrels are, like, so borderline
whether they're leaking or not.
One big mistake with a flammable load like this,
you know, it's all over.
- See that sign right there, buddy?
Welcome to Delhi.
It's kind of surreal that were just that close
to being home and done.
- This thing's definitely taken a BLEEP- kickin' on me.
Beat my ass too.
I mean, my body's sore; top of my head's sore;
my toes are sore.
Everything's sore.
- Been a bit of an emotional roller coaster
over here for this guy.
Extreme frustration and anger.
Go! MotherBLEEP!
Shut your BLEEP mouth next time!
You don't know who you're yelling at!
Super emotional.
When she gets sick like this, she could lose her life.
I want to be there, not here.
I got to do this one on my own here.
She's been a long trip, man.
Miss the wife, miss the kids.
- Yeah, I totally understand the family thing.
This is the longest I've ever been away from my wife.
Man, I haven't been out of the country
in 20 years coming up here.
- This trip opened my eyes up to what we have back home.
- Oh, yeah, you take everything for granted.
Now I bet you won't.
- Oh, that's a big 10-4 on that.
I will now have a whole new sacred attitude for cows.
I will never stop eating.
- I've actually gotten comfortable
with driving in this traffic,
dealing with the cliffs,
driving on the Rohtang.
And I feel I've made a bunch of friends
on top of all that.
There's absolutely been nothing else
like this in my life.
Well, I've enjoyed riding with you these last few weeks.
- Yeah, I've had a ball too, man.
It's been a good time.
Hey, there's the truck depot right there.
After two months in the Himalayas,
Rick's delivered eight loads,
about 30,000 pounds for hydroelectric projects,
and the rest serving a mountain town badly in need of supplies.
- I'm an off-road trucker. This is what I do.
Combined, he's climbed about 60,000 vertical feet.
Equivalent to driving a truck up Mount Everest twice.
- Get the BLEEP out of my way. I'm going home.
And Dave's delivered seven loads
and covered almost as many vertical feet.
- Seems easy after going over that Rohtang.
- Oh, yeah, it's like driving through Wal-Mart at Christmas.
Now it's here safe.
Hard to believe we're done.
- It's the toughest job I've ever done.
It's time to wrap this one up.
- I mean, I probably took ten years off my life
driving this son of a bitch.
We did it, buddy.
Put that cigarette out.
We did it.
We got you here safe.
We get to go home, right?
Thanks for all your help and leading me.
Maybe our paths will cross again another day,
and you can ride with me anytime, all right?
Appreciate it.
Hello, sir.
We're back.
There's the keys for the truck.
Couple of scratches.
The guy just hit me, Boyo.
- There's the key to my truck or Alex's truck
or somebody's truck.
- Thank you. - All righty.
- Thank you. - Got a few little dents.
Watch truck!
Few little dents.
All right. Time to go home?
- Oh, yes, it's time to get out of here.
All right.
Nice meeting everybody. - Okay.
It's been a rough experience.
I mean, it's been challenging from the start,
but we kind of rode together for a while.
That was fun.
- Backed each other up in a couple of bad situations.
Get the BLEEP out! Step out!
Get out!
We got through this bullBLEEP together.
Yep.
200 miles north of Delhi,
Lisa Kelly's on the 13,000 foot Rohtang Pass
and is the only North American trucker
finishing the last load.
- By myself, truckin' through ice and snow,
figuring stuff out myself.
Yeah, this is the most at home I've felt.
But descending the Rohtang's north face
is the most dangerous part of the journey.
- Taking it nice and easy and slow.
This fuel that I'm hauling is the most dangerous load
that we've taken yet here in India.
I got to take it easy. It's icy right here.
It's freezing up here too.
I'm hoping the weather holds off.
I'm making fairly decent time,
and I don't want it to be any longer than it has to be.
The bridge is the long way.
I'm taking a shortcut.
The bridge is skinny. The creek is wide.
Look at that guy.
He's like, "What the hell are you doing?"
I'm driving through a creek, okay?
Quit staring at me.
Just getting into Sissu.
That sure happened fast.
I just got to find this place now.
I see it over there.
I'm assuming it's the turn right here.
Getting to be tired, no rest.
But in the end, I'm helping people out.
And I got all their stuff to them.
It's my last trip up here, and I can go home.
And I can do it with a clear conscience.
I'm there.
Let's get this unloaded.
- These supplies are gonna be crucial
for a lot of people out here because the valley gets cut off.
That's great.
I mean, I was glad I was able to get it up here to you.
- Driving alone? - Uh, yeah.
I don't have a spotter or anything right now.
Just going at it myself.
Over the past eight weeks,
Lisa's hauled nine loads in the Himalayas,
more than Alex, Rick, and Dave.
And combined, she's covered over 70,000 vertical feet.
- I'm really glad I got this helicopter fuel
over to the Sissu and the heliport
because it's gonna help out a lot of people.
I'm in a foreign country,
I can't speak the language,
I don't have any other truckers that know me
or are around to help support me,
you know, and it's explosive.
So everything put together makes it pretty much
the most dangerous thing I've done.
There you go, buddy.
I feel like this last load is kind of my triumphant end.
When I first got here to India and started driving,
you know, it was so scary, I didn't know if I was ever
gonna get used to this driving on these cliffs.
It's like, "Man, these are scary".
You just can't drive any faster. It's impossible.
There was a point where it's like,
I don't want to die over this.
I don't want to give up and be seen as a quitter,
but I'm not gonna die over this.
I don't want to go anywhere. I'm done.
You drive.
But I was able to hand the reins over,
let him take over, rest up.
And then the next day, I passed with flying colors.
She overcame exhaustion, fear...
- I've never been so scared in my life.
And unwanted attention...
Get the BLEEP out of my door!
To become the only North American trucker
to finish the job.
- I came to India. I finished.
From the start to the end, I stayed here,
and I stuck it out, and I haven't died.
So I think that's a success.
It's been really hard driving a truck here.
It makes you a tougher person.
But you got to be stretched in order to grow.
First thing I do when I get home,
I want to go trucking.
I want to get in a real truck, and I want to go trucking.
