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.

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.

Brutal cold takes its toll on man and machine, and employees are cracking under the weight of �The Big Push.' The harvesters are feeling the heat as woodpiles on the ground dwindle.
