Frozen Tundra Trucking: Popular trucking show not on thin ice

Frozen Tundra Trucking: Popular trucking show not on thin ice
2/4/08

 

I run in this neck of the woods year round & the show did not demonstrate at all what it is REALLY like working in these conditions. Last I heard Luna Logistics (they own & maintain the Ice Roads) was very displeased with the depictions in the show & refused to let the History Channel come back this year.

When I am able to post pictures I have a whole host of what the reality of it really is!

 

I have 13 episodes of the first season of ice road truckers and would love to see the second round my self. We dont get this channel here in canada unless we have satellite to watch it.The channel is different here for cable tv compared to USA.But let us know more on this subject when you get a update Wildkat

 

You CAN post pictures NOW, but they have to be in the photo section...let's see them, LOL.

 

I can certainly post them, but it looks to me that they have to be one at a time? I would much prefer to just start a thread & post them a few at a time with proper explainations & place for comment.

I will post a couple now, & more later

 

OK I have posted some of my pictures! Enjoy!

 

I have heard a couple of times now that the show isn't realistic. Can someone that knows, explain what is not realistic and what is?

I'll go try to see the pictures as well.

 

The show is definitely NOT realistic. They made the work seem much more dangerous than it really is. Yes, it CAN be dangerous, the hours are horrendously long, the weather can be terrible, but on the whole it is as safe as any other job out there.

 

Thank you for posting the pictures. They are very cool!! No pun intended. lol
