Backroad Truckers

I can't believe I watched the entire season. I just kept wanting it to be good, but it never delivered. Overly scripted, overly dramatic. I just couldn't get into it. Every accident, mishap, or setback was obviously staged. The people in this show are actors. Nothing real about it.

It's supposed to be about hotshot trucking, and you quickly forget that's the premise of the show, since it's featured so little. I know a lot of so-called "reality" shows add drama, but this one is all added drama, with all the reality removed. The time I wasted watching this show is time I will never get back. Perhaps two stars is too generous a rating for this show.

Tough people in spectacular rural British Columbia making a living in trucking, towing and salvage. Very enjoyable scenery and entirely plausible plotlines. Never a dull moment with these independent and individualistic folks!

They are not truckers .. My family drive 18 wheelers and dump trucks .. Please stop insulting the industry .. They are 1/2 Toner's .. .. Backroad mudders .. Backroad 1/2 toner's .. Not Trucker's .. Stop it u look silly .. Change the name .. Let's go .. Show is kool other wise .. 👊👊

I'm 5 episodes in, so it's keeping me interested. As other have said, it's clearly scripted, but still entertaining.

However, in the middle of episode 3, the narrator caught my attention as I suddenly realized it was like listening to someone read a 1st level Dick and Jane book.

Narrator - "Angela drives up a hill!"

Narrator - "Dale starts his truck!"

Narrator - Angela has a cut tire!"

Tough to ignore once you hear it, but I'm pushing on.

I love this show, I must admit it's clearly staged and slightly laughable at moments. However I found myself binge watching the full season. Fingers crossed for season 2.
