Ice Road Truckers
Has any one seen this show? All I can say is WOW! I'd never do it...way too dangerous and cold for me...for any amount of money!

Yeppers,
I loved the guy with the potty in the cab.
I would never drive over any kind of frozen lake....
Yeah, people even fall through the water and DIE!!!
Hmmmm, I'll have to start watching the History channel. I never watch it and this looks like a really cool (pardon the pum) show.

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.
[/SIZE]
How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

Love this new show, it's great! But I can't even walk out ice fishing in 20 foot of water on 12 inches of ice and not get the willies. I couldn't do those guys job for all the money on the planet. Guess we all know now why DeBeers diamonds are so expensive huh?

Ice roads are very common in the North. I find it interesting that they picked the diamond mine for the show. I imagine that's because those truckers are paid more. The guy hauling groceries into Tuk, NWT doesn't make nearly as much as guy hauling a loader into the mine! In places that are inaccessible except by air most of the year and where fresh milk costs five bucks a litre, ice roads are vital to the communities' survival.
I've been on several ice roads. They are a little freaky at first, but some of them are better maintained than the Alaska Highway! That said, my hubby, who will do dang near anything to make a buck, has turned down several job offers driving on ice roads as it's too dangerous even for him. Someone, usually more than one person, dies every year, usually trying to go in too early or too late.
New season starts soon.
New drivers, including a gal!
First episode of Season 3 was dissapointing. Hugh & Alex are on this year but we barely got to see anything about them and didn't get to see how they handle actually driving on this new road, other than the simulator that is.
From what they did show looks like maybe Hugh will have his work cut out for him if he wants to be top dog 3 seasons in a row (2 as a rookie).

this new season's gonna be good! I like the new location. Wonder why Hugh and Alex aren't doing the Canadian ice roads? Or maybe this is a different time of year?
Has anyone been watching the new season?
I LOVE Lisa Kelly! She's something else for a little girl that's for sure!
Those roads are down right scary

I don't watch it on a regular basis, but I do catch it occasionally. I was floored when I saw that little girl driving one of those big rigs. She's got more baIIs than most men!

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

I've watched it.
And, I think you have to be insane to drive a extremely heavy 18 wheeler over a frozen lake that moves all the time.
I'm loving the new season. I hadn't watched the show before but since they are featuring the Haul Road (Dalton Highway), I got interested. I always wondered how they got all that stuff up to us in Prudhoe Bay.
I love Lisa Kelly, too!
