Ice Road Truckers

[INTRIGUED]

Any of you guys catch this show yet? I think its pretty good, Right up there with Deadliest Catch.

[scheides]

When is it on? And what is it on?

It was on from 9-10pm tonight on the History Channel. We watch it, pretty fuck'n sweet show to show a whole other way of live, ey. People can go up there and truck for 2 months and make $75k.

[INTRIGUED]

Yeah, Every sunday night at 9 on the history channel. Pretty insane to think if their truck dies they pretty much die. 40-50 below temp, How their trucks even keep going of day after day of such punishment. Yep pretty crazy stuff ey!

My father inlaw saved that for me on his DVR. So when I go over there I have to watch it. It looked pretty sweet.

i caught this the other day. it wasnt bad. some of the stuff they do to keep the engines warm was pretty cool.

the only thing that made me say "damn!" was when they were talking about driving on the ice... they would see the ice cracking in front of them spreading like lightning bolts!

I just watched the whole first episode on Youtube. That looks like it would be a blast to drift an AWD DSM with cleats on the tires. LOL RALLY DA ICE ROAD DONT CHA KNO.

What i dont understand is why they dont put solar powered lights in the ice to show the drivers where the road is. Im sure someone could make a killing selling them to the diamond company, Maybe ones that are heated so that the ice doesnt accumulate on them, and also put them on a 8-10 ft pole so that it doesnt get covered by the drifts. It would probebly save a lot of lives and trucks from losing where the roads are.

I've been asked to go up their and haul a bunch of mining equipment, way to dangerous. And if you notice on the show not one driver has a decient looking rig except the youngest guy who has a 00 Pete/w sleeper. Going up their is a good way to make $75,000 but also a good way to lose $80,000 for the rig and another $50,000 -$100,000 for the product. F--k that, I'll keep my ass on the Asphalt!!! "I'm RICH Biiccchhhhh Honk,Honk". LOL

That younger guy that was like 21 or 22 on the first episode that was up there for his first year made me laugh. Scared to death cussing like a sailor and all the names he was calling the crow flying outside his window. He was easily amused... obviously so am I
