Episode 1
Documentary series following Norwegian towing teams. In this episode, Thord and Olav come across a Turkish driver far from home and without the tyres required in Norway.
Gach bliadhna, tha sneachd a' gheamhraidh san Nirribhidh a' dèanamh rathaidean nam beanntan cunnartach le reothadh, a' cur nan ceudan de là raidhean mòra far an rathaid. Tha Rathad na Deighe a' leantainn nan gaisgeach Lochlannach seo a' dol a-mach gus cobhair a thoirt do na là raidhean airson am faighinn air ais air an rathad. Tha Thord Paulsen agus a chriutha ann an Odda agus Bjørn Lægreid, a tha ag obair na aonar ann an Eidfjord a' farpais gus tiotal an luchd-sà bhalaidh rathaid as fheà rr a chosnadh. A dh' aindeoin nach eil tòrr sneachd ann, tha drà ibhear Pòlainneach a' tighinn tarsainn air reothadh gun fhiosta dha. Tha Thord agus Olav a' lorg drà ibhear Turcach a tha as aonais taidhrichean agus sèinichean a tha riatanach airson suidheachaidhean cunnartach rathaidean an Nirribhidh. Cuideachd, ann an Hardanger, tha Bjørn a' dol a mach gus cobhair a thoirt do là raidh a chur car ann an gèile.
It happens every year. The harsh Norwegian winter turns mountain roads into bob sleigh tracks, and forces hundreds of 50-tonne trucks off the road. Ice Road Rescuers follows the daredevil Norwegian towing teams who set out to rescue these trucks and trailers on the icy mountains and get them back on track.
Enter Thord Paulsen and his crew in Odda, and lone wolf Bjorn Laegreid in neighbouring Eidfjord, both competing to be the best Road Rescuer. Despite the lack of snow, a Polish truck driver is unfortunate and hits a rare patch ice.
Thord and Olav come across a Turkish driver far away from home without the tyres and chains required in Norway and in Hardanger, Bjorn is called out to help a truck that has been blown over by the wind.
