Ice Road Truckers?

[ozzie]

he stated it would take him 9 trips to get that money back......I wonder if he doesn't get a little help to eleviate the cost from the show or the government if he has to pay a dime of it....

Just watched new episode last night. Had to avoid this thread until I saw it.

I thought TJ going to the ER room was kind of weak. I was waiting for some thing serious. If you are back out in six hour after a media vac and ambulance ride, it was not that major of an issue. I figure a little T.V. drama or T.J. is like my wife (going to ER room for the flu).

I think Hugh runs junk trucks. Well, at least his drivers run junk trucks. I think Drew was leaving South Paw shop to go get gas when he ran out of gas. I mean, come on! I was in the automotive repair field for many years. I would never send a customer right to gas station on fumes. I also would never tell a customer I am going to punch you in the mouth for a quick comment about breaking down after just leaving my shop. I think Drew should have clocked him right then and there. But it does seem Drew is a kind of person who talks allot when he is alone, but clams up when confronted. Hugh will get what is coming to him. You scrape the bottom of the barrel; you get what was at the bottom of the barrel.

I think the only driver that seems like he has a decent head on his shoulders is Alex. He seems pretty easy going and makes money. I think he will win.

I think they said that TJ didn't have health insurance. I don't know how the Canadian health care system works, but maybe you can opt out of paying a health care tax if you wish to not have health insurance. Not sure how it operates, just a hunch.

[MuskieJunkie]

I've always wondered about how Canadas health care system works so I did some reading online. I found this on wikipedia.

"Canada is unusual in that the government pays for almost 100% of hospital and physician care, but contributes very little in areas such as prescription drug costs, dental care and Emergency Medical Services."

[ozzie]

That would make sense then cause this would have been considered an emergency......

[Gissert]

That explains it then, thanks for the research.

In a way, I makes some sense to me. That should cut down on going to the ER for a hangnail...

[MuskieJunkie]

Hugh does run some junk trucks. You would think they would have some kind of saftey standards and inspection to make sure these trucks are road worthy.

Every time I watch this show I think to myself, are truckers weird or does trucking make you weird........

[Shack]

I would say a little of both.

I thought last weeks show was weak. Beside alex's run to the gold mines, it was just about being stuck in a snow storm. I think I am thinking of the correct episode?

[ozzie]

it was about he white out and the group left TJ at the sleeping area and he went missing for a few hours during the storm....

[Kyle Sandberg]

Hugh was live on KQ 92 morning show two days ago. He is a chuckle head and Terri made a fool of herself.

[Shack]

Shoot! Missed that one.

Got to see the last show the other night. That one was pretty good. This weekend is the last of this season. I think they recap with drivers.

[Down2Earth]

To nights show was the worst ever. I wanted to see Hugh chew the guy that hit him a new you know what. But nothing, we didn't even get to see the accident.

When it get's cold enough for the lakes to freeze again. You know that was coming.

Probably not until this time next year I suppose.

Actually said at end of last episode, COMING SOON- SEASON 2

So, ice road freezes in 6 months + 3 months of filming + 6 months of editing= Coming Soon? I don't think so, more likely instead of them following just those 6 truckers around they followed 12 or more and shot another season at same time if not a 3rd.
