    are hauled over the Ice Road, what companies are
    hauling all that stuff to Yellowknife, NT

    It's a reality show, the majority of it is staged, or events are played up to be more than what they are.

    YEP..I wanted them to get into more detail of the job itself and all the other aspects of it but mainly it's competition between truckers which got boring in a hurry.

    Yea, that show has REALLY disappointed me. It makes some of them look like idiots, without shirts on, setting the cruise and walking back in the bunk for a drink, and on and on. They could change the name of the show to: Northern Hillbilly Truckers, IMHO. I watched it twice and gave up on it after that.

    At below -20 degrees, it probably is pretty difficult to dress up
    a reality show. Long time in the truck where it's warm. Short time outside in the cold.<br>One must remember those drivers are not running over
    20 mph or whatever when on the ice. Setting the cruise and getting a cup of coffee is not like <br>being on an expressway. I think running 360 miles at those speeds would <br>drive most truckers nuts. Different?&nbsp; Yes. Boring? I'm not sure. <br>

    No its not staged but they film hundreds of hours of film.
    Then only show select few.
