Ice Road Truckers
The six truckers gather at a remote truck stop in the Middle of Nowhere, Canada to hash out their differences and provide answers to some of the season’s unanswered questions.
Hugh, Alex, Rick, TJ, Jay and Drew, along with host, Steve Watson, start the hour by talking about their goals and competitive strategies in the dash for the cash. As it turns out, more loads don’t always equal more cash.
Before the truckers even hit the ice though, they must journey through the Ingraham Trail. They guys explain why this stretch of road is so treacherous and why the sound of ice cracking and shifting under the weight of the truck is both welcome and terrifying. The men who drive the winter roads must learn to decipher the different sounds and behaviours of the ice, to avoid breaking through and plunging into the freezing water below – every trucker’s worst nightmare.
