This interview that you provided for us, worths a lot. I'm from a cold mountainous region of Iran, and I know what extreme cold means. I've see -30 degrees celcius and blizzard with 2 meters of snow on top of it (yes all of Iran is not desert). I think one has to be a very good driver, has to know what cold and snow is, has to be mechanic, has to love his job and has enough will and physical power to commit to ice road trucking. It's much more fatal than driving a road train in the middle of australia. Pls upload more of these kinds of contents 👍👍👍

I'm not going to lie; I've been in the business for four years as a fleet driver. I've traveled the Northeast, Northwest; ran across Donners during the winter. Hauled in Brooklyn, Bronx, Jamaica Queens, Boston, Philly, and the Chicago rail yards. But no. I'm not heading up to the lakes to run on ice. I'm not tough enough, I'm not strong enough, and I won't run outlaw either. "It got down to -97." God damn.

[@aGoat666]

Im what you guys call a "rookie"... 26years old, 3 years experience on snowy Canadian roads. Most of my experience ive had was in northern Canada. After living blizzards, closed mountain roads, stuck with truck frozen on the side of the road. Having other truck drivers try to pass you in the most dangerous/worst way imaginable, only to see that same truck who passed you rolled over in a ditch farther up the road🤦‍♂️ I am not scared to admit, I dont have the guts for ice road trucking. Trucking is dangerous enough as it is, i dont need the fear of breaking through the ice, or getting stuck where no one will find me. Those who do this have all my respect! Thank you for your content! I have learned so much from this channel these last couple of years!

[@SmartTrucking]

I did the iceroad in 2004. I went a day further north than Ekati, to Tahera mine. I have never been so bored driving a truck and as an owner operator, it paid less than average oilfield. Worked two full months and pulled 26000 after fuel and plates.

I was there in 2017. I'd love to go back, although I make as good of money doing heavyhaul in Western Canada. The biggest thing I hated was the mentality of some of the drivers. To some of them it was just 1 big race. Even with all the security doing radar checks. My truck stayed warm all night idling at 1400rpm. The Cummins mechanic in Yellowknife changed some of my parameters before I set out on my 1st trip.

Tire chains are not allowed up there all barefoot so it doesn't damage the ice

[@darcywalls1465]

Hey. Dave. I went up in 2018. Ran two trips from Yellowknife into Diavick mine and back. First trip out it was minus 51C and snow was sideways. Ice roads were very smooth and lots of grip. Going up and down the portages was the scary part , very narrow and rough as hell. Got frostbite on my right hand during first trip and couldn’t even tie down my load for the second trip hand was so bad I packed it in and headed home. Seeing Caribou and listening to the Northern Lights was cool though

Hopefully in part 2 we can get a little info on what the companies require to get hired on for a season. Is there a chance guys in the states can get a job or is preference given to Canadians. Thank you Dave and your support team for the great content.

[@kevinlesch9656]

The closest I ever came was watching some guys do ice racing down here in the finger lakes of new York. They had to have 12" of ice to race , which has been hard to get last few years, but boy was that some good racing! Not much of a spectator sport, my feet froze! What really got me was when they went for lunch at the local bar, I was walking to shore as they drove by and I could hear the ice crack. That was nerve racking. I didn't go back for the afternoon session but they were some real good drivers! They could wheel those cars better than any NASCAR or Indy driver out there!

[@ReluctantLuddite]

What’s not to love about an engine that runs for 3 months and keeps our economy running? If it were a newer emissions truck it would have broken down in the first week as the DPF wouldn’t have gotten hot enough to properly burn off the particulate matter. Everyone loves all the gadgets they own that mining makes possible, but then condemns the actual going out and getting the raw materials. It’s a good thing we still have a few real men left to do the important work that society relies on to survive...

[@briandarazs6620]

I have been driving tank truck now for many years. All of it off road. Bush roads, ice roads and sometimes not much more than a goat trail. I have the Yukon, the territories and the arctic under my belt. I have also built hundreds of ice roads. Let me make this very clear. Ice road truckers is way, way over dramatized, big time. I cant even watch it, I think its that phony. There is no doubt that a lot of what happens in the show is staged. They also are running little tandem tractors. Nice skinny steers, a lot better to steer with. I run all these roads in all those areas in either a Tri Tri or a set of trains. With the balloon tires on the Tri Tri, steering chain is the name of the game, plus 3 axels on the truck, and a drag chain on the trailer. I would love to have Ice road Truckers spend a couple of days with me.

Lots of switch backs, I really do hate that one Lol. I got this one vid where I just about went over the ledge. This was about 5am. Snow, blowing snow, I just could not see the bend. Anyways, when it finally got light out, and the cat showed up, that's when I saw all 3 axels on the passenger side were about 7 inches in the air. YIKES.

Ice Road Truckers was a good idea, but the drama associated with it, threw me off. I prefer shows like "Highway through Hell" with Jamie Davis Towing over that. Cold temps make everything more annoying, MAINLY: Wind. Im just a tow driver myself, and like every trucker knows, climbing a hill with a decent head wind is a downright piss in the wheaties. Id be willing to give a shot at Ice Road truckin though, but I cant drive in Canada due to a DUI/OWI years ago. But considering a newbie skinny lil gal can run it, or a hotshot young buck, I reckon, throw them in inner city Minneapolis or heck, even downtown Philly and see how they fare. I guarantee theyll be missing those empty Ice Roads REAL quick
