Pelletier Inc. is falling behind on the weekly quota so Eldon takes a dangerous risk by doubling the loads to the mills. The Pelletier family pulls together to help an employee and the delay leads to another financially disastrous week.

A hurricane makes for the Pelletiers' most disastrous week of production yet. Rain and mud slow tree cutting down and create danger on the roads. As the family tries to catch up, a driver spills his load and Wayne manhandles a double through sludge.

The brothers battle through mud and muck leading to treacherous conditions for hauling. Then, a 40 year veteran driver is injured as his truck rolls in a dangerous accident.

A long awaited snow storm brings what is deemed "white gold" as the ground is frozen and more timber can be harvested. But icy roads cause skidding trucks and a near head-on collision between father and son.

A Nor'easter drops a foot of snow and the subzero temperatures lead to frozen machines in the woods. Meanwhile, a driver looses control of his rig on a snowy hair pin turn and nearly flips his truck into a creek.

Rudy and Eldon come up short on a major contract and Jeff loses patience as breakdowns continue to cost precious time and money. Then veteran driver Steve Gillman relives the worst day of his life when he wrecked twice in one day.

Lumber markets are collapsing forcing Rudy and Eldon to downsize earlier than expected. A blizzard keeps log haulers parked in the yard, Eldon gets stuck in a dangerous corner and Gilley's rig is engulfed in flames after he pushes it too hard.

As Winter ends and temperatures rise, exhausted drivers struggle to stay awake on the graveyard shift. Eldon has an accident and the forest turns into a nightmare when the soft ground and sinkholes attempt to swallow the massive skidder and delimber.

As Spring arrives, the most dangerous part of logging season is underway. An accident occurs as sleep-deprived drivers battle exhaustion and confront countless hazards.

A wet start to a new logging season has the Pelletiers up against the ropes. Lester and Wayne take on the steepest hill on the golden road while Eldon's Plan to haul double loads of wood to the mills gets shut down.

Torrential rain continues to hammer Pelletier Inc. as the crew fights to harvest and haul wood to the mills. And just when the weather breaks, tragedy strikes as a logger is struck by a falling one-ton log.

A heat wave hits Millinocket sparking production in the woods. Meanwhile, Rudy's crew walks on water as they strip and old bridge from a protected stream, Randy continues his road to recovery and a new logger refuses to get his hands dirty.

The loggers make up for lost time as they try to cut 3000 trees in a week but then a damaged bridge shuts down trucking. Also, the Pelletiers drop half a million dollars on a new crane and venture into the restaurant business.

The next generation of Pelletiers step up to the plate as the future of the business lies in their hands. The mills demand more wood & everyone hustles to deliver while Jeff and Rudy are tested by a rookie driver's reckless driving and bad attitude.

The Pelletiers move an army of men and machines to their winter harvesting site. Rookie Aaron transports half million dollar machines across rough terrain, two heavy duty off road rigs are added to the fleet and tempers flare.

Rainy weather and mud plague business for Pelletier, Inc. Jeff struggles to keep his cool as he oversees a hectic shop. Lester barely escapes death in a head-on collision with a pick up truck.
