- This is starting
to piss me off. - Yee-haw! - NARRATOR:
--who risk everything to haul the most
unusual items-- - JARRETT: Fire in the hole! - MAN: I've never moved anything
of this caliber. - NARRATOR: One wrong move
and they could lose it all. But if the bid is right-- - Yeah!
- Boom! - NARRATOR: --rewards
can be huge. - MARC: More money, more money,
more money! - NARRATOR: On this episode
of "Shipping Wars"-- - We are professional
motorcycle stuntmen. - Hot damn. -We have a show coming up--
if we don't get there... - BOTH: ...we don't get paid. - You're freaking crazy. - Sentinel TRV is a fully
armored vehicle. - Somebody's gettin' burned. - JENNIFER: Ahh!
- Boom! - Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! - JENNIFER: I don't get
intimidated. I was raised to be tough. - I've been driving since birth. Coming down!
- MAN: There you go. - What can I say--I'm awesome. - JARRETT: I'm very much
an amateur at this, and definitely having
an "Oh, [bleep]" moment here. - JESSICA: It's just me,
the truck, and the road. You guys need to get
that back on there. I got places to go,
people to see--let's go. - TODD: Time is money--
I want to get it loaded. - [squeals] Ah, look out! We're gonna knock
them out of the water. Yes! - Every time I win a bid, man, it's just like
I hit the jackpot. Look, let's face it, I'm
the seasoned professional here. Hell, I got mustache hairs older
than half these "transporters." It's time to give them a little
lesson on how a pro wins a bid. - Today I'm gonna be just
like that annoying bee that attacks your sweet tea. These people need to know
who the queen bee is. - I'm here to bank,
unlike these other dip [bleep]. I'm gonna keep these bids high, and chip away at it
$5 at a time. - Lately I'm thinking being
the underdog has its advantages. No one expects me to swoop
in and steal their bid. Bam! Strike 'em when
they're least expecting it. - I'm comin' out guns a-blazin'. Bid high and boom--
pick off the price later, something I call Samko Blamko...
pow-pow. - I think we just keep
the money high and not take anything too crazy. - But I want to get a load--
I want to make some money! We're not gonna play it safe. I'm talking about going
hard and getting paid. - NARRATOR: Every day, uship.com
posts special timed auctions for select top-level
transporters. - Let's see what we got today. - NARRATOR: First item
up for bid-- an armored tactical vehicle. - That's a badass truck. - I'd really like to see
this on my trailer. - MAN: The Sentinel TRV
is a fully armored vehicle. It's manufactured
for the military, law enforcement agencies, as well as high-net-worth,
private individuals. The Sentinel is being
shipped to a client that has a very large
car collection. - Look at those tires, man. - In life, I can't stop. I always continue
to push myself. I order new things all the time. The Sentinel tactical vehicle
was next on my list. It's top of the line. I need the Sentinel
to arrive before dark because I'm going to a party
where I can show it off. - It's critical
that Sentinel TRV makes it to the client
by sundown or the client will refuse
to pay for the shipment. - NARRATOR: This armored SUV
needs to get from St. Augustine to Sarasota, Florida,
for a party in one day. - Let's tactically assault these
guys right out of the gate. Boom! - The underdog never
throws the first punch. I'm waiting. - I'm not very far
from this load, and it looks pretty simple. It's a one-day run and I'm done. - This thing's pretty cool. - $1750. - What are you doing--you just
took all the money out of it. - Relax, it's a gut thing. - My gut feels a little
sick right about now. - Dude, Tamera and Todd just
torched most of the profit. Jackasses. - This thing is badass and I think it should
come with a warning label-- "Caution, should only be
transported by a badass." $1730. - You know, I gotta stick to my
guns here--droppin' it 5 bucks. - $1500. - Hell, no.
$1450. Buzz, buzz, [bleep]. - No one's expecting
me to win this load. Now's my chance. - Never ask half a man
to do a full woman's job. - Come on! - You know we're
better than these guys. - Still about $3 a mile. As long as the money
keeps workin', I'm in. - You're frickin' crazy. Marc thinks he's
gettin' this load? Think again.
$1145. - Your little $5 bids
are so precious, but it's time to get real.
$900. - Oh, [bleep] me, I'm out. - Sayonara, Samko,
now where was I? Oh, yeah, kickin' ass. - Take a hint, take your
big stash and leave. - Hit the road, $825. - I see the frickin' idiot
brigade has arrived. - It's time for
an all-out assault. - Jarrett, come on! - This is mine. Boom! - What?!
Screw being the underdog. Next time I'm gonna
be the favorite. - Amateurs. I'm on my way to pick up this
tactical vehicle. I really don't know how I'm
gonna get back to my truck after the drop-off,
but I'll figure it out. The seller wants this to be
driven, not hauled. I don't get it, but customer
service does come first. This must be the place. Hey, are you Alex? - Yes, you Jennifer?
- Yes, nice to meet you. - Alex Wilson, nice to meet you. - JENNIFER: Oh, wow.
- ALEX: That's the Sentinel. - JENNIFER: Oh, my God, that thing is way
bigger than I thought. - ALEX: The truck's built
out of ballistic steel, has different accessories
and options on it which I need to go over with you so you can discuss
it with the client. You can see it better
if you stand out there. This is the LRAD.
- [piercing alarm sounds] - Oh, yeah, the LRAD, the Long
Range Airhead Deterrent-- totally functional. - ALEX: I got another
little surprise for you. - JENNIFER: Okay. - It's a smokescreen that we
install in the vehicles. - JENNIFER: Ugh, it's
burning my eyes. - I'll turn it off. One more thing... - What else could
this thing possibly do? - All right, I think you're
really gonna like this. - What are we doing? - There is no way
I'm driving this thing. I can't--I can't. I'll end up torching
someone on the highway. Like, I don't feel
comfortable driving that. I mean, I'm clumsy. I've gotta get this
thing on my trailer. You think it'll work? - Uh, yeah, this weighs
about 17,000 pounds. I think this is a very bad idea. - I got this. I can just drive it up there. - It's--it's like a basic F-550
pretty much, so it's a diesel, so you wanna turn it over
and let it sit for a second. - What about this red
button--don't push that? - ALEX: Do not hit
any of the buttons. - Unless, of course, you like
your customers extra crispy. - Very slow. - I can't see [bleep]
out of these windows. - Straight, very slow. Keep going. Whoa, your truck--
- JENNIFER: Ahh! - [loud crunching] - ALEX: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! - JENNIFER: Ahh! - ALEX: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Back off! That's not gonna work. No way. [bleep] jeez. - Just a wee bit on
the heavy side there, Jen. - We're even digging
into the ground here. That's not gonna work. It's gotta get to my client--
I don't really have a choice. - JENNIFER: Oh, my God,
I don't know if I can-- - ALEX: We've already, I think,
destroyed the trailer, so-- bent the steel, so this is gonna
be a no-go. - [sighs] - I really gotta get
that truck down there. - Well--
- It's gotta get there. - I cannot afford to walk away
from a load. - I know you don't want to drive
it, but we'll, uh, take the flamethrower off. And you're gonna need to show
it to the buyer. We gotta get you going.
- All right. If we do a quick tutorial,
I'll get on the road. - It's gonna have
to be real quick, 'cause we have got
to get it there. That right there is
your master power switch. - Okay, so I'm just
gonna flip it on? - Yeah, to turn the camera
system on, you use this first button and it'll bring
up all the cameras. - Okay, wait, which button? - Jen has this thing
called armored hearing. Stuff really can't
get past her ear. - So that red button
activates your siren. - I'll get, like,
a sexy cop outfit. -That'd be considered
posing as a police officer. - Um, correction--that'd be
posing as a sexy police officer. - Here are the go lights--that's
the remote-controlled spotlights on the front of the truck, so you activate
them with this switch, and then they rotate
with these joysticks. - You know she's not gonna
remember any of this, right? - Please don't hit
any of the buttons. We don't want to have
any problems. - Okay.
- Good luck. - Here goes nothing. I can't believe
I'm driving this. - NARRATOR: Next item
up for bid-- the wall of death. - None of these other guys are
worthy of hauling this. - I betcha the boys crapped
their pants over this one. Luckily Marc
wears adult diapers. - We are professional
motorcycle stuntmen. We ride a vintage wall of death. The wall of death started
off before track racing. It was a real dangerous sport
because of the high speeds. We charge a ticket for a people
to step inside and watch us ride. - A wall of what? -The wall of death
has to be in Panama City and on time for Thunder Beach. We don't get there--
- BOTH: --we don't get paid. - He can't get paid. - NARRATOR: The wall
of death needs to travel from Pavo, Georgia, to
the Thunder Beach Bike Rally in Panama City Beach,
Florida, in two days. - I like this already--
sign me up. - Not this go-around. Go ahead and drop it $5 down. - Hell, yeah, my rig
is perfect for this. - These guys ain't nothin'. - TAMERA: Let's show 'em. - Is this a joke? This thing ain't child's play--
$2800. - Take a hint and leave--
$2100. - Hell, no! Todd and Tamera just dropped
this think like 700 bucks. [bleep] the $5 thing! If I'm going down,
I'm going down swinging. - They're tanking this thing! Want to see daredevil? - Nice try. You are not gettin' this load. - Take a hike, you punks. - Come on.
- I'm gonna make one last bid. - I'm gonna show these kids
some professional grade. - Time to win this war. - Thanks for playing. - Any lower and this load
hits its own wall of death. I'll match that--
$1500. - [bleep] it all! - That, my friends, is
what experience gets you. There's a big bike rally
going on, and these guys are gonna ride
the wall of death down there, providing I get it there
on time, you know, there's no damage
and no problems. There's the guys right here. Wait a minute, are
these guys the daredevils or the daredevils' kids? Hey, what's up, guys? - How are you? I'm Kyle.
- Kyle, Marc Springer. - Nice to meet you.
- Hi, Cody. - Right on, guys,
let's get to it. Holy crap, guys,
that thing's huge. This looks like
quite a project here. Holy [bleep]. - KYLE: Lot of work to be done. First we're gonna
take down the top, and then we'll drop the top
and get the pole popped out, then we'll get rid
of the walk boards, then we'll take down the blue
poles, we'll take that down. - What's your estimate on time
to break this thing down? - It'll probably be anywhere
from about five to six hours. - You guys are out of your
frickin' minds if you think anyone can do all that in a day. That's something I
wasn't really anticipating. I was--that's gonna
take me into-- over my hours of service. I won't be able to make that
drive down there today. - Because at 4:00 p.m.,
it's nappy for pappy. - Based on the information
off of the listing, it would have been
a one-day deal, ready to go, so I think I'm gonna need more
money to do this. I'm gonna have to double
my bid on this. - Oh, man, we can't do that. - You know, to be making
a profit out of it, I can't just do it for nothing. You don't tell me how much
disassembly's required, I double the price. - I'm gonna have to double
my bid on this to be making
a profit at it. - I mean, can you help
us out a little bit? - No, three grand's what
I'm gonna need to do this. - JARRETT: Those
kids should give up. Marc's like a carny
game--you can't win. - We can't do $3000. I know in our budget
we could do $2500. - Um... - If you're willing to take
$2500-- - And that would be everything
we've got. - Yeah. - I'll do that--
that's fair enough. - KYLE: Cool, thank
you, I appreciate it. - You know, I would have taken
$2000, but $2500's fine. Let's just get 'er done. Get on the other side
and drop the other side. Hurry up. One, two, three. Phew! Think I'm gonna pass out. - Oh, [bleep]. - I'm hot--Georgia hot. - DUSTY: Welcome to Georgia. Hey, Gramps, kick
that walker in high gear. - MARC: I hate tarps! - KYLE: Keepin' the, uh-- - Get rid of that 11 pounds
of fur under your nose, you could move a little faster. - MARC: Aww, man.
- KYLE: Just don't be late. We can't afford
for you to be late. - I can't afford
to be late, either. - Have a safe trip--
drive careful. - Thanks, guys. - This thing goes so slow. I mean, 17,000 pounds is a lot. I just want to get
to Sarasota as fast as I can. I don't have time, and I'm running out of daylight. [groans] This thing is a gas guzzler. That's the last thing I need. I'm gonna pull into this truck
stop up here--make it quick. I gotta get back on the road. Okay, I don't even know what
buttons to push for the gas. - [loud siren sounds] - Well, thank God it
wasn't the flamethrower. - [different loud siren sounds] - Oops, that was the siren. - [cell phone rings] - I'm trying to open
the gas tank. - I don't even know
what key opens it. [bleep] Really? What the hell? - This is kind of like watching
zoo animals problem solve. - JENNIFER: I just
had this [bleep]. Oh, my gosh! Come on! - Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. - Gotta get on the road. Oh, I can't get out of this. - [loud siren sounds] - Sir, in the Road Warrior, can you please, please,
please move up? I can't get around you. Much obliged. - I'm heading down to
Panama City Beach, Florida. If this thing isn't set
up in time for bike week, this wall of death
could be the death of me. Here's the big issue
that I got right now. I'm driving into
a major storm front. Well, here it comes. It's looking pretty
severe at the moment. - [cell phone rings]
- Hello, this is Marc. - It's raining and blowing
and every other damn thing. - Is this guy serious? Noah's ark couldn't
keep this thing dry. I can't control the weather, but I'll certainly pull
over and take a peek at it. - That's good to know. Unbelievable--there's enough
water in here to swim in. - TODD: Get it wet? Technically, they didn't say
anything about it being soaked. - MARC: [bleep] - MARC: Un [bleep] believable. This load is drenched, and there's really nothing
I can do but just get there and hope it's gonna
be all right. You know, I tried to get
this water off the tarp, and, of course, by doing that, I kinda messed up everything. Now I gotta fix the tarp. It's keepin' the water off it. Unbelievable. If this thing shows up warped, the wall of death
might live up to its name. - [truck horn beeps] - JENNIFER: I'm
getting really close. I hope I make it there
with some time to spare. These houses just keep
getting bigger and bigger. This is, like, really bad. Rich customers are pretty
particular about their loads. Oh, my God, this thing is huge. - DAN: Hi, Jen.
- JENNIFER: Hi, how are you? - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. Thanks for coming
with the Sentinel. Wow, she's a beauty. - Hey, at least
he seems nice so far. - I'm really tight on time,
so I gotta get a move on. Show me how
to operate this thing. - Okay. - Whatever you do here, don't
set off the defense mechanisms, 'cause I have neighbors
and they're nosey, and I don't want to scare them,
so none of the defense. - Please don't
push the wrong button. Please don't
push the wrong button. - JESSICA: Please push
the wrong button. Please push the wrong button. - So these are the lights.
- [loud sirens sound] - Um, there's
a lot of buttons on here. - And they're all great for
pissing off fancy neighbors. - JENNIFER: This, maybe?
- [sirens get louder] - Uh, maybe-- - Oh, man, I'm seeing smoke. - I didn't think it did
anything. - DUSTY: I don't want to tell
you how to do your job, but you're doing it wrong. - I've got smoke everywhere. What a mess!
- BOTH: [coughing] - I'm sorry. - Well, if this guy's in good
standing with his neighbors, that's about to change. - For the delivery
of the vehicle, I thought you'd probably
know everything about it. - Um--
- With the smoke problem-- You delivered it on time,
I can overlook that. So I'm gonna pay you in full. - Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - I must have pushed
some of the right buttons. - I gotta move. - Great, now how
am I gonna get home? - Boy, I'll tell you this isn't
really ideal conditions for bike week. The show starts in a few hours,
and if this load's damaged, I'm screwed. - You made it. Let's get over there, let's make
sure this thing's rideable, and didn't get wet or anything. - Hope you boys
got some Speedos. - MARC: Get it done. - KYLE: Got some
holding water over here. - CODY: That kinda sucks
[bleep]. - Gettin' wet. - It looks like Marc might
have turned this thing into the wall of imminent death. - The moisture from the walls
being wet makes it hazardous. - If this thing's warped, I might as well kiss
that cash good-bye. - I think the water's
warping the walls. Push down. - MARC: Well, finally, huh? We ready to pay the man? - Actually, first off,
we're about to take it for a practice run, so-- - Did you really think you
were getting off that easy? - [revving motorcycles] - TAMERA: If I was their mom, I'd want them
to inspect this first. Then I'd spank them
for being daredevils. - MARC: The wall of death
lives another day. It's time to get paid. - Pay the man.
- Perfect. Right on, guys, thank you. And I'll come back and watch
the show before I head out. - NARRATOR: Marc
braved the storm shipping the wall
of death for $1500, plus an extra $1000
for an additional day's work. After expenses,
he made a whopping $2136 for a 2-day run. Jen didn't fare as well. She won the load for $775, but after trailer damage,
other expenses, and a bus ticket
back to her truck, she walked away with $175
for one day's work. - JENNIFER: Sir, is this
the bus stop that takes you to St. Augustine? - You can't get to
St. Augustine from here. - He dropped me off
at the wrong bus stop--great. It's just not my day. Well, I guess rich people
don't know bus routes. - You know, this run was
kind of a pain in the ass. But I have to admit
it's pretty badass. That was cool--really cool.
