A tough, rough-talking and self-reliant band of brothers battles long hours and harsh conditions deep in the woods of northern Maine, ferrying huge pieces of timber along an unpaved road in massive trucks. This show offers an unvarnished look at the Pelletier family business and its second- and third-generation operators, who treat their employees like family and do their utmost to fill their quotas and meet their deadlines.
