About HIGHWAY THRU HELL Season 7:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamie Davis is shifting gears once again. After years of keeping the highways open with some of the most modern heavy wreckers \u2013 the legendary tow man is staking his future on old iron equipment.<\/p>\n

At Davis\u2019 yard in Hope, B.C., Classic Holmes tow trucks \u2013 some nearly half a century old \u2013 are slowly replacing newer, costlier wreckers. For Davis, the vintage trucks are more than just a passion \u2013 they represent survival. Under pressure to reduce costs and stay competitive, Davis is confident this winter he and his crew can tackle some of the toughest jobs \u2013 on and off the Coquihalla Highway \u2013 using an aging, rebuilt fleet.<\/p>\n

This winter season, Davis is counting on one truck more than any other \u2013 the \u201cMighty Mo\u201d. After rolling out of his garage at the end of last winter, the beautifully restored Holmes 850, named after a World War II battleship, is ready for war. Known as the most powerful tow truck of its day, the hulking 40-ton wrecker will need to shoulder the biggest jobs as Davis prepares to sell his last modern truck.<\/p>\n

After a challenging first winter working the mountain passes, former prairie operator Colin McLean is back in Hope for more adventures as Davis\u2019 lead driver. But having run some of the best top-of-the-line hydraulic trucks, Davis\u2019 \u201cold iron\u201d is going to take some getting used to.<\/p>\n

Each one-hour episode follows the Jamie Davis Motor Truck team as well as their competitors \u2013 Quiring Towing, Mission Towing, Aggressive Towing, and Reliable Towing \u2013 as they brave the harsh conditions of the Coquihalla Highway. Ready to navigate extreme roads and weather, each team prepares to put themselves on the line in order to keep some of the most economically important and travelled trucking routes in North America open and accessible for all.<\/p>\n
