Season 3:
A good summer of hauling wood has left the harvesters struggling to keep up with demand. The Pelletiers take on a new business venture, building their own logging trailers. It's a huge investment with high-level risk.
The Pelletiers are striving to double production, but when several machines break down, it's a huge step in the wrong direction. Two crew members threaten to quit, and an emergency repair job halts production in the trailer shop.
The mills turn back timber and the Pelletiers struggle to make a profit. A stand of massive pine trees forces the company to harvest the old fashioned way, and the pressure of running both shops pushes Jeff to the edge.
Torrential rain threatens production and rookie drivers aren't pulling their weight. Then disaster strikes in the woods when harvester Kevin Cummings flips his machine. It'll take everything in the Pelletier arsenal to make it through the week.
The wet fall season has crippled production at Pelletier Inc. Just when things can't seem to get worse, a crane operator's rig falls through a dilapidated bridge. Back to back mistakes threaten a rookie's job, and a veteran hauler flirts with death.
A veteran driver is in grave danger when his truck flips, Eldon takes a chance on a new logging camp, and flooding in the forest threatens to shut down operations completely and brings employee morale to an all time low.
The winter freeze hits Millinocket and it's finally time to hammer down. But a rookie driver can't handle the roads, rolls his rig twice and costs the Pelletiers. Then it's all hands on deck to battle through the first blizzard of the year.
Winter is go time for the Pelletiers. Crews are pushing hard but three drivers suffer accidents and a busted pipe stinks up Telos camp. Business in the trailer shop is picking up so Allen thinks he needs a raise, but Jeff doesn't agree.
Peak logging season brings anticipation of the deep freeze. They get their wish and then some, as brutal cold causes both equipment and emotional breakdowns. Nonstop hauling and disgruntled employees set some on a collision course during 'The Big Push'.
Winter is ending and it's all hands on deck. Rudy goes on a business venture, leaving Wayne in charge of operations. Larry makes a mess with a loading crane, Danny nearly destroys a bridge, and a young driver returns but his inexperience ends in disaster.
