Re: Ice Road Truckers

It's not that its not an interesting show. But i don't get why they have to drive to the mine. why can they send the stuff they in in helicopters and planes. it would be so much easier and not as dangerous.

Re: Ice Road Truckers

I'm totally hooked on Truckers right now. There's no way you could get me driving up that lake. That's really an insane job.

Re: Ice Road Truckers

It's cool for sure. Last nights was a repeat from last week but still good.

I'll be watching it for a while for sure. Deadliest Catch is very cool too.

Re: Ice Road Truckers

Someone needs to start a freight shipping service to cater specifically to that area. What about shipping the stuff using boats when its not frozen?
If the mines are worth that much wouldn't it be logical to use airplanes or helicopters? I missed the point on that one. But nevertheless Im watching.

I don't think helicopters can work in that kind of environment...and I think it would be tough to work planes in that kind of environment due to blinding snow and hurricane type winds.

Re: Ice Road Truckers

There's obviously some of the world's top engineers working at these mines, I'm sure if there were better ways to get the supplies up there they would have thought of something by now.

Exactly.
While it would work fine in the summer, the mines are open all year round. I doubt "daisy crushing truckers" would have the same ratings.
