Le Convoi de l'extrême

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 :)

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.

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.

Short and sweet and to the point. Is anyone aware or understand that this show is a Reality Show? So what makes a Reality Show? Google has your answer if you need help in finding what a Reality Show is all about Google it This show was awesome and for anyone who loves to drive them big rigs Watch Ice Road Truckers. In my opinion the music blended right in with the suspense of driving on Ice and making it across to the other side safely. They did an awesome job with the drama on the show. Didn't this make you watch what happens next? I mean really that's what Reality Shows are made for and people criticize too much on the Characters personalities These characters on the show are definitely not the people in real life off camera. Does anyone follow what I'm saying?

Channel 5's new television series, "Ice road truckers" was suitably intriguing at first sight. Further into the series we are introduced to more and more characters and we see their personalities unravel before our eyes.

We learn about aspects of their job such as the huge machines they use to carry out their bidding, and what kind of a life they lead while trawling the Ice Road. All the truckers we see are working for the head honcho "Hugh Roland" a big, hairy, macho man nick named "the polar bear" by his employees.

Soon enough, the true personality of the drivers is revealed; from the very likable southern Californian "T.J." to the rather arrogant Rick Yemm. That brings me to another point, the swearing. Unfortunately the drivers tend to swear every other sentence which leads to a series of very annoying beeps.

The introduction for every episode has so far been repeated from the pilot episode, which has lots of cheesy introductions like Alex's line where he says "It's called the dash for the cash" which makes for some cringe worthy viewing. Apart from these small hang ups (and all the other stuff I have no doubt forgotten) Ice road truckers makes for a likable documentary and some easy Friday night viewing.
