I love this show. It can be addicting. You are always wanting more. I wish some of the people would be on more shows. Jamie is a good person and takes the time to explain helpful hints and the best of bad situations, to new and old employees. He does this without making them feel like a fool and he doesn't talk down to anyone. That is what makes them want to continue working for him and doing their best. This trait makes Jamie a great person and employer. Jamie also, has trusted people working for him. He has confidence in then and they work hard for him. I also, like Al, he is quite a character. All of the people on the show work hard to keep the roads open and moving, while doing the work as safely as possible for everyone. The main thing I would like to see is for the show to have cc. I like Colin and hope to see more of him and the good people that work with him. Thank you
Shows honest hardworking people doing work in conditions no one else would work in. Like that they show interactions good and bad between the guys who tow.Jamie is always willing to teach guys. Give us more shows. Love that they now how 2 locations. They understand safety first but get those roads clear.
Love this show, it's an honest look at life of Heavy Rescue. Nothing else like it on TV. Nothing staged, no phony characters, no fake action. It gives us a view of what life is like for the world of truckers and what they face driving on our highways. The good, the bad and the ugly conditions they face everyday. Not to mention the good, the bad and the ugly drivers. My only complaint is not enough shows. Winter usually starts in October or November and lasts until March or April. You should be able to have plenty more shows, especially now that you a second team in Alberta. You could have a whole other show just for the guys on the Alberta team. Ask any fan and they'd say the same. We'd even like to see more of Al, his team and his big green rig. Give us more HIGHWAY THRU HELL.
I stumbled onto this show quite by accident on the 'net a couple of weeks ago, as I don't have Discovery Canada in my cable TV lineup. As a Western Canadian who's driven the Coq countless times -- but never in winter -- I've been fascinated to see what a zoo it becomes when the snow flies, particularly for the semi drivers who must push through with their loads year-round in every kind of weather. Jamie and his crew are a pretty likable bunch who put up with demanding working conditions themselves, and unlike the similarly situated Ice Road Truckers series (another of my faves) there are no grindingly obnoxious characters to irritate. Just real guys doing real, honest, hard work and not being unnecessarily bitchy about it. Of course, their biga$$ trucks are fun to watch in their own right! I've just heard that the show has been picked up for a second season and am well pleased to hear it. Despite the show's very simple premise and lack of any serious twists and turns, it never seems to get boring or stale. This is just plain good entertainment for any fan of big vehicles and big men doing big jobs in the big outdoors.
So far no staged characters script. Just actual emergency situations and the folks that perform them. Makes sense it's a Canadian show.
We are honest and real! 😀🇨🇦
