Ice Road Truckers

Basically, it's show of where the premise of possible disaster is the entertainment while also filled with fake scinarios (scripted hostility between main characters).

I am from Norway and don't think the temperature is so extreme , if i calculate it right -32F is just at water freezing, and they show it as terrible at -42. Also i think the trucks are so different than we are using, many things looks like its been around since the early 80's. Who in his right mind uses steel-wire to load and unload the trailer on the rig. That's my opinion,you're technique and solutions are strange for me. And to use alcohol on air tanks was a system we used 20-30 years ago, now its just air drying system, so many different ways to the job. So I think its a good series but some of the characters are a little over the top for me,they are a little full of themselves :)

In addition to so many other programs oriented towards certain adventurous professions, this one at least has charisma and better pictures. The job is also interesting, but could be processed in a more informative way. Nevertheless, the show is fun, especially in the sense of a little pastime and dreaming of the cold northern regions of the world.

I have been suspicious of this being staged for a long time. Now I know for sure after seeing Todd getting his rig stuck on a tight turn. Even a novice knows you do not make a sharp right turn from the very right hand side of the road. It looks to me it was done on purpose to give the show something that a trucker might do to try to get out of trouble. A trucker would never put a rig in that position to start with, even with the least amount of experience. Good By IRC.

Used to be interesting despite the overall repetitive nature of it harping on the dangers seemed neverending to pad it out.Had seen it for a while but just started watching again and it really has rapidly declined into a soapie,hugh & vlad are just totally loathsome backstabbing babies.Even Darryls become quite irritating the whole thing is now too repetitive & scripted
