I currently work for a company that has been doing winter roads for a very long time. Everyone I've talked to about it says it's absolutely nothing like the show (drama for it's own sake) and aside from the abuse the roads put the truck through, it's pretty laid back.
That said, many also commented on the fact that "anyone is up there now" even those with no business being up in the bush. Rates are also not what they used to be apparently.Eamac2004, cke and MartinFromBC Thank this. -

I agree lol. One time i was under a landstar load going from salt lake to Minneapolis in a blizzard and i80 was shut down in Wyoming. I was thinking, "ill just cut through the middle!" Its crazy how i80 is deceptively flat in wy, because where i went was some of the scariest #### ive seen at night. Wyoming can get crazy with its 60 to 70 mph constant winds. Some of their snowstorms are tropical storm blizzards where the only way you can tell youre on the road is driving the rumble strip. Long story short, i arrived a day late and landstar fined me. #### Landstar "worlds ####tiest broker"alds and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

I’m not sure if this is a troll post or not but the ice road in the show you are referencing is in Canada. If you are a US citizen and are dying to freeze your berries off look for jobs on the north slope in Alaska.

I do believe that the most fake, of all the fake shows on tv, award goes to Dog the bounty hunter.
As for driving ice roads, it is the easiest driving I've ever done. Talk about going slow....the only issue is not falling asleep it's so boring.magoo68, FlaSwampRat, uncleal13 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I dont care about the show. I was asking if any of you have run it and know the rates. Its summertime so i figure the time to look into it is now. There are plenty of places to freeze berries off in the 48. -30 and -40 feel similar to me. The only difference i know is how fast your mt dew will freeze haha. Still cold afLast edited: Jun 30, 2019
