Shipping Wars - Die Transporter

I love this show. It almost makes me want to switch careers. I think the network manipulates it a bit though. I saw Robbie with something that said veti on it and then saw Roy with a veti can cooler. Its to promote that garbage, fake, waste of programming show about trying to catch big foot. If they find him, I will personally fight him at the garden, and I'm an over weight, average dude with no real fight experience. Other than your common school fights and a little bit of boot camp. Regatdless, marks on point most of the time, I think Roy's on point but plays that tough guy thing up a bit, chris and Robbie are by far the best with all there awesome equipment. Not to mention Robbie's very easy on the eyes. Then there's Jennifer...wow...she's crazy hot, I'd love to just ride along with her, even if she wouldn't let me speak. I was heart broken that she got pregnant but the man in her life is very lucky. So much for my dream of running into her on the road and having love at first sight. And I'm a chubby kid from PA so the odds were never in my favor : - (

At the end of one episode, one driver finished in San Francisco, another driver in Phoenix, one in Dallas TX, one in Charlotte NC.

The next morning they bid for new shipments. One of the shipments was scheduled to be hauled from Austin TX to Fresno CA. Now here is what puzzles me: The drivers sitting in San Francisco and Charlotte have to drive thousands of miles just to pick up the shipment in Austin TX, while the driver sitting in Dallas, can be there within a few hours. Would that not influence their bidding? It's 1800 Miles from San Francisco to Austin. Does that cost not have to be factored into the bid? I guess not, because all drivers act as if they are sitting in Austin, yet we know they are not.

Makes the show appear to be fake, yet I believe the loading/unloading/driving is real. Still very entertaining, just not realistic.

Roy's death and Rusty's breath.

Episodes with Roy Garber are awesome, after that it's pretty much more of the same. And adding more neophytes with less than average experience is a repetitive. One Jared is enough!

Much like "Storage Wars" or "Storage Hunters", i did not want to watch this, yet - it's good. However, Shipping Wars outshines both these shows, as the setting, items and journeys are different every single time. Roy is by far the star of this show, with Jarrett providing some look through your fingers viewing. I did not expect to enjoy this at all, however the downright fun of it, and the constant remarks from Roy such as "perfect, just like me" make it fantastic viewing. The one let down to the series is Chris and Robbie, whom do not posses the "entertainment factor" unlike Roy, Mark, Jarrett and Jennifer who always manage to come out with snide comments, hilarious one liners and always produce a wonderful show. As I said before, Roy is by far the star of this show, and sometimes overwhelms everyone - however, this is a good thing. Once you start watching, you wont want to see anyone else.

Shipping Wars is well worth a watch, and will leave you rooting for Roy and his one liners, and leaving you a bit starstruck with the idiocy of Jarrett.

A real, true, gritty 10 out of 10 show.

Its entertaining! Love the cast and the humor of the show. I recomend this show, time flies by quick when i watch it
