a. little going to look you know. what they don't want to do is spend the night on the mountainside on the ari pos known to all as hell's road which is partially collapsed the drivers only solution is to rebuild it themselves. and. the first to do. something the world is full but loaded to the open part of the people the people at the foot i'd like to look long did look a little. little. better. than the burka. but it's taken the drivers seven hours to fill in the gap on. the pos is roadworthy at least for the time being. the

worry pos begins in the town of deer in the tribal regions of northwest pakistan. the road is two hundred forty kilometers long and is the only supply route through the mountains to the small villages of ashi trial valley which is shared with afghanistan. a road where even the slightest error can be fatal. the most dangerous double. most vicious is the realty posse. to think serious here great ones are good but the political will doesn't get out of setting. up a lot of foot delay and i don't get the. bill

as i. said that. there. will be a lot many bodies we have a bodies that men are coming back to more homes may not meet on june seventh. and student can plays in that area they don't want to bus any to. the holy city of do and its twenty thousand inhabitants make their living off the

road each day tons of goods are loaded and unloaded from trucks the only means of transport in the region. the truckers quarter provides most of the jobs here. drivers. mechanics assistants of all ages book yet every day amid the dust and pollution. twenty three year old come are a is a successful businessman he already owns. two trucks one of his trucks laden with two tons of sugar for a village in the sheet trial is about to tackle the ari pos and not surprisingly he's worried. he has his best driver at the wheel. at a. fellow with a shake. shack that's. sixty dollars a month is the average pakistani signer

a few drivers would accept the risks of a pos for that money so come our eye is offering a one thousand dollars bonus each way a bonus the younger drivers find irresistible with dignity and take that damn little for yourself i don't really know what a bit of a resume david it was in a can or so because they're finished that i see that i never was there to pay them and they said. that but not if i did raise. it so he did it. in a. rush to get out of it was a. bit out there with a day that i got paid for the board i feel. at seven in the morning it's time to start i. the journey along below are a pos is far from being a picnic over two hundred forty kilometers the road snakes through the mountains

and breathtaking cornish is in syria should take one day to reach the destination but there are a few drivers that can manage that. i would however is eager to get the trip over as quickly as possible despite the danger he wants to make as many journeys as possible in order to take advantage of the bonuses so he drives without stopping and seems to spend his life behind the wheel of his truck. but that is. just it i fell for. it. well it will be in focus of us. still well a lot of people thought a good deal. would have been to drive a ten year is the truck is ageless he has been stuck forever on seven hundred seventy six thousand kilometers. the brothers don't appear to care and have decorated the truck in their own fashion photos of benazir bhutto to form a collage with those of the indian pop stars young pakistanis idolize.

two thousand meters up and the first difficulties. melting snow shoes from torrents that's why it's through the road dozens of meters at a time creating holes and landslides. tell us a moment. that they get that they want a. bus to get a little out of us. come to see that i think that's the ticket of you know this is . what i want they put out dick said but they think that their day.

every trip damages the tiles further cut up by the shop brought some ready to form so kind of checks them one by one for any risk they might bust. the ari pass poses one problem after another to help them relax the drive a smoke the local drug. damn this just what was that at that. you know what i. his head elsewhere the words condition i mean adds to the dangers of the road drugs

on one of the main causes of accidents. four years ago faced with an increasing number of injured the pakistani government financed the construction of a tunnel through the mountains i thought by now i think i shall fall at that i think that is ours you know that if i was awful i would lives just a short distance away before tackling the mountain roads he stops to kiss his children goodbye. i know but then i let you know what. else with olivia to do with. the wood has three kids two boys and a go in this valley where religion is paramount the women are obliged to hide themselves from the glances of a man that would even forbids as his wife and his daughter for meeting the currency

. and its photo would have. been and that's of us that's was the cop out but i just don't know. what side is casey well as you. see that footage this us of them that like that. beast piece they have put there was. this are today. must you play less that alice you are. after a two hour pause the brothers resumed their travels the hardest part of the ascent is about to begin. it's an area where the melting snow causes avalanches and landslides.

within an hour they will have climbed one thousand meters to a height of three kilometers as. a climb that poses a stern challenge to even the most experienced drivers. in. the truck struggles to make ten kilometers an hour on the steep climb. at twenty eight hundred metres the lack of oxygen causes drowsiness and concentrating becomes a chore. the smallest movement requires a real effort. and staying awake is

a major challenge. three hundred metres to go before the pos had a chance to rest. that's a little. bit of water. the. thought. was that when the grammys c.m.l. which i thought. was about the fourth. day with the guy in the hot tub correct place i know what it was. about. more than a. good outside the tavern the drivers check their merchandise is securely fastened. to the experience of inside others relax from the

strain of the climb and good themselves for the next leg with a hearty meal of boiled mushing the local speciality. would cover the field with you don't know where you always are going to go but. i did do. several from just over the rush to go with a look at what gets you still a good for you to. tell you by james i took the stand so this. guy wouldn't his brother head off to face the forty five bands. plus some moron. but i just know nobody got it. was the fellow i didn't know about out of. their back you wouldn't suffer or are. still around but you suffocate.

to go shooting the curves becomes a physical battle. the goal is simply go downhill without ever stopping and pray no truck is coming the other way. oh. the melting snow has turned the road into a muddy track braking too harshly means using control and

a one way ticket over the edge into the ravine. so much as a composite on the. did. was to go to. look up that there was no thought. oh well at the. end of. the wood i was his life to the perfect control of his truck but he has no control over nature of course and is at the mercy of the sudden avalanches that sweep old before them such as this electricity biden. did

a. lot. of us. on it. was a good. bottle of. one final bend and the brothers finally in the chitral. finally. i think. the road is better here that surfaced and protected by the foothills and it will soon be time for collins driving lessons. but there's bad news in store just a few kilometers further down in the valley thanks

to the mountain has slid onto the road making any further progress impossible. thank you thank you. thank god for that the blank i. like the city but rather than rush it i know it was during. the both of them was one of the self-indulgent oh i didn't know what. but thank you for that i was. thank. the side of the mountain is unstable and there's a constant series of rock falls. below risking life and limb the work has labored nonstop to open the way through thank you and we thought it would be done but yet all of that but not a. walk breaks loose

and hits the front of the truck to thank uncle. on either side of the one behind me although some thirty trucks wait for the road to reopen and. some of the truckers of being stuck for days. some more patient than i was poss the time as best they can. i do what the political leaders over there were allowed to go much. broader i don't know quite know what that will just look what i'm going to. hold out there but the fault was that a problem. it's a small truck to for such a huge mounds and everybody's pinning their hopes on the big government that has

been sent out from drop a few kilometers away. drawl she is renowned throughout pakistan for its splendid trucks. and it's no coincidence. that since the small town is where the most famous trunk decorating company in the valley some mean and co can be found. it's a family run business that attracts clients from all over the country. that's an endangered as you kind of and i think that that generation if you're going to mention but really wanted to. cut everything on the house was thinking you know no one has to be pushing picky i don't but he. told me. that you know you know christmas night he got

a definition of thirty. the following morning on the stretch of road that's being closed the much anticipated bulldozer finally arrives it doesn't take long to clear a path through the rocks i. was thinking of i cook. i took this. quote up i think it was a little bit like i believe that. it's only a temporary pop through the rubble as the mountain continues to collapse i think.

braving the rocks the first drive is chance that luck i. i now it's dogwoods to. younger brother x. has this guy. i. think. they make it and come find me resume bed journey. it is particularly proud of his brother who helped ensure they made the trip in safety and decides to reward him. though out of the.

love of the god of the. this is. the stuff that i would agree or. rather. listen to you know going off on about writing and how no one is also not. a little. careful i think it.

is mere driving school in these parts the young by their old school. was out on a. lot of cars allen. says. the . slogan was a system that had. no. idea all that.

there does not us. just so it's just snatched myself get almost says all this there was just skip. stylebook i thought it was one of the. twenty of us in the us doesn't know it and there was quite a. right eye shadow and republican who was essentially for how do you keep in. your head there was really a lot of us my love i'm dumb i doubt he's ever owned. how he would finally make it to chitral the two hundred forty kilometer long journey

took nearly four days. with other they now need to unload the consignment quickly and get back on the road as soon as possible if the make another round trip before the end of the month i don't feel alone. on the. world on the fly there but. i lead a somewhat disillusioned the life of a trucker is not what he had hoped it would be. the child is never getting this risk. but nothing can stop them in their tracks chasing the american dream escaping poverty but the eagle route is their only option and their hope for a better life can lead them into trouble braving tough conditions generally the more they'll put their lives in danger just to hurt them in risking it all this
