Music plays
(Visual: The red CIBC logo slides in on the top left. Multiple quick flashes of lightning streak across the dark sky, illuminating the dark purple clouds.)
CIBC logo
(Visual: An empty street, with houses on either side. Hurricane-force winds whip trees and power lines back and forth, rain falls heavily, pooling on the road. The red CIBC logo in the top left fades out.)
Barrie Hall: Our busy season really starts in June.
(Visual: Trees bend in the strong wind from a hurricane, leaves blowing one direction and then the other, a palm tree whips side to side, as heavy rain falls, making ripples on the ocean behind the trees, which is scattered with pieces of debris floating on the water.)
Barrie Hall: The hurricanes start spinning up at that time.
(Visual: A strong gust of wind blows a large piece of a roof off of a building. It flies quickly up and away in the wind, breaking apart as it turns end to end in strong gusts of wind and rain. Debris litters the street. The trees around the building sway from side to side, and bits of leaves fly off the palm trees.)
(Visual: A scenic view of a coastal highway stretching off into the distance, with light traffic in the many lanes, running alongside the ocean, where waves break along the shore in large sprays of white foam.)
(Visual: A group of three people wade slowly and carefully through thigh-high flood water towards a building with a large nature mural on the side. A man in a wet grey t-shirt and shorts rests his arm on the shoulder of a man in a red baseball cap and black and grey hoodie, and black pants soaked with water, who holds out his hand to help steady the man. Slightly ahead of the two men is the third man, in a blue t-shirt. He is walking toward a silver pickup truck, where two women stand throwing belongings in through the truck’s windows. Beyond the truck, a river overflowing with water is separated from the flooded road by a small group of bushes. Large chunks of debris float by in the river.)
(Visual: Interview shot, Tim Noble and Barrie Hall, inside a large industrial-sized garage. Two orange and white bucket lift trucks are parked behind them. The orange and black T&T Line Construction logo is painted on the door of the truck directly behind them. They sit side by side, Tim Noble on the left in a blue plaid shirt, and Barrie Hall on the right in a dark blue golf-style shirt. Barrie Hall looks at Tim Noble as he talks. A red rectangle slides in from the left. Text appears in white identifying Tim and Barrie.)
Barrie Hall: We've traveled most of the eastern seaboard as far as Miami, Florida.
Tim Noble & Barrie Hall
CIBC Clients
Tim Noble: Alabama.
(Visual: A heavy rain obscures all but the silhouettes of trees and power lines in the distance. In the foreground, hydro poles and power lines lean over, and others lay strewn about, splintered, and twisted on the road. One pole hangs suspended in the air in a tangle of wires.)
Barrie Hall: Georgia.
(Visual: Two workers, in bucket lifts work high up in the air, at the top of a hydro pole, fixing and attaching wires. The workers are silhouetted against the darkening sky, their features indistinct. They wear lamps on their hard hats, lighting their way as they work.)
Barrie Hall: To bring the power back.
(Visual: A black SUV slowly moves through an empty middle space between two rows of trucks in of a fleet of orange and white T&T Line Construction trucks. The trucks are different sizes and configurations, some smaller and boxier, and some longer, with bucket lifts on top.)
Barrie Hall: And when we roll in as a company, people cheer.
(Visual: Close up on the front wheels of the black SUV as they roll to a stop.)
(Visual: Close up on the window of the black SUV. Barrie Hall sits in the driver’s seat. He is partially lit by sunlight, and partially in shadow. He wears a dark blue golf-shirt style T&T Line Construction uniform shirt, with a T&T Line Construction logo patch on the chest and a logo patch on the arm with a Canadian flag intertwined with an American flag. He is wearing glasses, and has short grey hair.)
Barrie Hall: Because they know that we’re there to help them,
(Visual: A man stands in silhouette in a darkened garage. His back is to the camera, and he is facing a large white garage door, which is slowly opening, moving upwards.)
Barrie Hall: and to possibly save lives.
(Visual: As the garage door opens, light streams into the garage, revealing the large fleet of orange and white trucks parked outside. The man stands, still silhouetted in the doorway.)
Barrie Hall: And we just kept growing and growing, because the demand was there.
(Visual: Looking into the garage, the interior is dim compared to the bright sunshine outside. Tim Noble steps out of the garage into the sunlight. He is wearing a blue and white plaid dress shirt with a T&T Line Construction logo patch on the chest. He is cleanshaven, with white hair, and is looking intently forward.)
Barrie Hall: And that’s when we reached out to CIBC for support.
(Visual: The screen fades to white, and text appears in red in the centre of the screen.)
T&T Line Construction
Fredericton, New Brunswick
(Visual: Close up on a man’s hands putting on thick brown work gloves with bright yellow stripes on the backs. He is standing inside the garage with the large white door.)
(Visual: A man in a dark blue uniform shirt carries a green safety harness in front of him as he walks outside, past the row of white T&T Line Construction trucks.)
Barrie Hall: When Tim and I decided we’d form this company,
(Visual: Close up on a man’s hands. He holds a coil-shaped metal part on a rectangular frame in front of him, wearing thick brown work gloves. He is wearing a dark blue uniform, and his face is offscreen. He stands in front of an open door of a panel, leaning over the rectangular slots inside. He gently places the coil-shaped metal part into an open space inside the panel.)
Barrie Hall: we started out thinking we were gonna have five trucks each.
(Visual: Close up on a clipboard holding a form with three columns on it. The left column is full of lines of type, and the other two columns are blank. Different headings separate sections on the form. The clipboard is being held by a person wearing thick brown work gloves. The person is holding the clipboard in front of them as they walk through the row of T&T Line Construction trucks.)
Barrie Hall: We’ll do a little work, help some people out.
(Visual: Interview shot, Tim Noble and Barrie Hall, inside the large garage. Orange and white bucket lift trucks are parked behind them. The orange and black T&T Line Construction logo is painted on the door of the truck directly behind them. They sit side by side, Tim Noble on the left and Barrie Hall on the right. Barrie Hall looks at Tim Noble and smiles as he talks.)
Tim Noble: Weekend trip.
Barrie Hall: Yeah, a weekend trip, yeah. (Laughs)
(Visual: Close up on the headlights and grilles of a row of white T&T Line Construction trucks. The closest truck has a black number 10 on the hood, just above the grille. The trucks are gleaming in the sun, sitting outside in the parking lot, with tall trees in the background.)
(Visual: Close up on the headlights and grilles of another, longer row of white T&T Line Construction trucks. An orange safety cone sits halfway down the row of trucks, directly in front of one of them. The second truck in the row has a black number 67 on the hood, just above the grille. The trucks are gleaming in the sun, sitting outside in the parking lot, with a large grey building in the background.)
(Visual: Close up on a black number 83 on the hood of a white truck, just above the grille, which is gleaming in the sunshine.)
Barrie Hall: We went from five trucks, ten trucks, 20, to 40.
(Visual: Interview shot, close up of Tim Noble, sitting in front of orange and white parked bucket lift trucks inside the garage.)
Tim Noble: Today we’ve got over 200 vehicles in our fleet.
(Visual: A male worker in the dark blue T&T Line Construction unform shirt, with a brown beard and moustache, wearing thick work gloves, a blue hard hat, and sunglasses, closes a panel on the side of one of the white trucks in the parking lot. Another worker, also wearing a blue hard hat, and sunglasses, stands nearby, the garage in the background.)
(Visual: The man in the blue hard hat who was standing by climbs into the passenger seat of the truck through the open door. The interior of the truck is grey, and the sun shines through the windshield.)
(Visual: The other man with the beard and moustache who closed the truck’s panel, puts on his seatbelt in the driver’s seat. He is also still wearing a blue hard hat, sunglasses, and dark blue uniform shirt. )
Barrie Hall: Once we get that call, and things start spinning up,
(Visual: Close up on the white truck door swinging closed.)
(Visual: Close up on the white truck door on the other side swinging closed.)
Barrie Hall: The meter is rolling at that time.
(Visual: Close up on another white truck’s driver’s side door swinging closed. The T&T Line Construction Ltd. orange swirl logo with the words in black is painted in the centre of the truck door.)
(Visual: Overhead view as the two long lines of orange and white T&T Line Construction trucks in the fleet start driving down the centre aisle and offscreen one by one, leaving only a few trucks, spaced out, still sitting in the lot.)
Barrie Hall: The cost? It’s quite phenomenal.
(Visual: A white truck drives through the now nearly empty lot, picking up speed as it moves toward the road. The view moves along with the truck, looking forward from just below window level on the truck, with the T&T Line Construction logo on the door in the foreground. As the truck moves onto the road, a solid yellow centre line divides the lanes. Trees and bushes line the road, and the sky is blue.)
Barrie Hall: We have to feed everybody,
(Visual: The truck moves past a white house with a red roof, past another car going the other direction, continuing at a steady speed to move down the road, the view still moving along with the truck, looking forward from just below window level.)
Barrie Hall: fuel the vehicles,
(Visual: The driver sits in the driver’s seat, in profile, looking forward, both hands on the wheel. He is wearing his blue hard hat and sunglasses. Tall trees pass by, glimpsed through the windshield. )
Barrie Hall: Lodge everybody, it’s a lot of money.
(Visual: A view through the windshield of the truck. The radio cable hangs down in a curve in the top centre of the windshield. The driver’s hands sit on the steering wheel, visible in the left of the windshield. Tall trees grow along the side of the road. A grey car drives past on the other side of the road as the truck moves along.)
(Visual: Close up on a dark blue suit jacket lapel, where a silver pin with the CIBC logo on it sits just below the buttonhole gleaming in the sun.)
(Visual: Two men, their backs to the camera, the one on the right in a blue suit, and one on the left in a grey suit, walk towards Tim Noble and Barrie Hall, across a parking lot. The man in grey waves, and Tim and Barrie wave back. Cars are parked in front of a grey building in the background.)
Barrie Hall: Knowing that CIBC is behind us and we can depend on them,
(Visual: Close up on the men’s hands as they move close together in the parking lot. They all extend their hands, and Barrie shakes the hand of the man in the blue suit in the foreground, and Tim shakes the hand of the man in the grey suit in the background.)
Barrie Hall: that makes them an integral part of our team.
(Visual: Interview shot, Tim Noble and Barrie Hall, inside the garage. Orange and white bucket lift trucks are parked behind them. The orange and black T&T Line Construction logo is painted on the door of the truck directly behind them. They sit side by side, Tim Noble on the left and Barrie Hall on the right. Barrie moves his hands expressively as he speaks.)
(Visual: Close up on Barrie Hall as he continues to speak, sitting in the garage.)
Barrie Hall: I feel that they understand that when we’re out rolling, they gotta be right there rolling with us.
(Visual: Five men sit in a circle inside the garage, which is brightly lit, the orange and white lift trucks still parked in the background, with the orange and black T&T Line Construction logo visible on the truck behind them. The men sit on metal folding chairs. Barrie Hall and Tim Noble sit on the right, with the men from CIBC on the left, in blue and grey suits, and another man with light brown hair in a black suit.)
(Visual: Close up on Tim Noble and Barrie Hall. Both smile widely as they converse with the other men.)
Barrie Hall: The team at CIBC has been great for us.
(Visual: Close up on Barrie’s hands as he moves them expressively while he speaks to the other men.)
(Visual: Close up on the man in the black suit, who has short brown hair, and is cleanshaven. He is nodding slowly as he listens with an interested expression.)
(Visual: Close up on the man in the grey suit. He has short blond hair and is cleanshaven, wearing a dark-coloured tie. He nods as he speaks.)
(Visual: Interview shot, Barrie Hall, in the garage, sitting in front of the orange and white trucks.)
Barrie Hall: Getting some financing in place to help us not have to worry when we’re on one of these trips.
(Visual: The men sit in a circle on folding chairs in the parking garage talking, all leaning in and talking intently and smiling.)
Tim Noble: Once they found out what we were doing, and what our needs were,
(Visual: Tim Noble, interview shot, sitting in the garage, in front of the orange and white trucks.)
Tim Noble: it helped us a long way in getting to where we are.
(Visual: Close up on the silver CIBC pin on the man in the grey suit’s lapel. He is wearing a tie that matches the colour of his suit. He sits in the chair, the background out of focus behind him.)
(Visual: Close up of the same man in profile. He is speaking to the others in the circle of metal folding chairs in the garage. The man in the blue suit sits in the background, watching the man in the grey suit as he speaks.)
Barrie Hall: But they’ve also helped us individually to look at our future.
(Visual: Barrie Hall sits in a metal folding chair in the garage, in the circle with the other men, smiling, laughing and nodding at something offscreen. He is looking in the direction of the other men in the circle. Behind him the orange and white trucks are parked in the background. A beam of sunlight sits across the right side of Barrie’s body.)
(Visual: Close up on Tim Noble as he sits in the circle, talking to the other men. He has a thoughtful expression, and is speaking to someone offscreen. Behind him, tools hang in rows covering the wall. He turns as he speaks so that he addresses different people in the circle, who are all offscreen.)
Barrie Hall: Not only us as individuals, but our families.
(Visual: A wide view of the garage shows the whole circle of men in metal folding chairs, talking. The man in the blue suit and the man in the grey suit sit with their backs to the camera, and Barrie and Tim sit on the right. The man in the black suit sits on the left of the circle, his face visible in profile. The men in the circle talk animatedly with each other. Tools hang on the garage wall behind them, and a small portion of the garage is reflected in a truck’s side mirror in the foreground, on the left.)
Barrie Hall: We have this wealth through what we’ve done and how we’ve grown,
(Visual: Close up on the driver’s hands on the steering wheel of one of the white trucks. He is wearing a dark blue T&T Line Construction uniform shirt, of which just the sleeve can be seen. Outside the windshield of the truck, trees and bushes pass by at a steady rate of speed.)
Barrie Hall: and they’ve been helping us manage all that.
(Visual: Close up on the driver’s face. He has long curly brown hair to his shoulders, and is wearing a blue hard hat. He has black mirrored wraparound sunglasses, and is looking straight ahead as the truck moves down the road. He is wearing the dark blue uniform shirt. Behind him, through the windshield of the truck, tall trees can be seen, and as he moves the truck into a right turn, his hands moving on the wheel, a white house passes by outside along with a scenic view of the road as the car turns into a driveway. A brick pillar sits at the end of the driveway, and he pulls into the lot in front of a large grey building. As the truck turns the corner, a red rectangle slides in from the left, with text identifying Tristen Noble in white.)
Barrie Hall: It’s something that needs to really be pushed forward, to the new generation. It’s not only about us,
Tristen Noble
Tim’s Son
(Visual: Interview shot, Tim Noble and Barrie Hall, inside the garage. Orange and white bucket lift trucks are parked behind them. The orange and black T&T Line Construction logo is painted on the door of the truck directly behind them. They sit side by side, Tim Noble on the left and Barrie Hall on the right. Barrie moves his hands expressively as he speaks.)
Barrie Hall: it’s about reaching out,
(Visual: Interview shot, Barrie Hall, in the garage, sitting in front of the orange and white trucks.)
Barrie Hall: and helping people within the community as well.
(Visual: A wide view of the garage shows the whole circle of men in metal folding chairs, talking. The man in the blue suit and the man in the grey suit sit with their backs to the camera, and Barrie and Tim sit on the right. The man in the black suit sits on the left of the circle, his face visible in profile. The men in the circle talk animatedly with each other. Tools hang on the garage wall behind them, and a ladder and more tools sit in the foreground.)
(Visual: The camera slowly moves around Barrie Hall and Tim Noble sitting in the circle of men. Barrie Hall sits with his hands on his knees, looking at Tim Noble as he speaks, who also sits with his hands on his knees, looking around the circle intently.)
Tim Noble: CIBC has exceeded my expectations.
(Visual: Interview shot, Barrie Hall, in the garage, sitting in front of the orange and white trucks. He moves his hands expressively as he speaks.)
(Visual: Close up on Tim Noble’s face. He is smiling and looking offscreen. Tools hang in rows on the wall behind him.)
Barrie Hall: We feel comfortable knowing that CIBC is behind us.
(Visual: Close up on Barrie Hall’s face. He is smiling and looking offscreen. Tools hang in rows on the wall behind him. A beam of sunlight shines to his left, and reflects light on his face. He laughs heartily, leaning back in his chair.)
Barrie Hall: They have our back so that we have our clients’ back. It’s a really good feeling.
(Visual: The screen fades to red as the CIBC logo flies in to the centre of the screen in white. Text appears below in white.)
