Iceroad Truckers- Canada's Extreme Trucking

I absolutely loved this series on the History Channel. When I heard that it was going to be made into a DVD I was ecstatic. This show shows the "ugly" side of diamonds. Most people only see diamonds on rings and other jewelry, but they have no clue where they come from and everything that is done to get them to you. This series shows how the diamond mines stay functioning year long even though most of the surrounding terrain is water. In negative degree weather, these few men go out and truck what the diamond mines need over ice, yes, frozen water, ICE! Even if the load is thousands of pounds, which most are, they still do it. And the money! I was amazed at how much money these guys make, that is... if they survive. Iceroad trucking will very quickly show you if you have what it takes to be an extreme trucker, and if not, you'll know it. Iceroad trucking sorts out the men from the boys. That's one thing I really like about this show. The men, and a few women, were tough. It takes a lot to stand the cold, physically and emotionally. It takes a lot of guts to go out there everyday, and its shows on these men. Like I've said already, these guys are TOUGH! This show is great for anyone who wants to see the rough side of things, the hard times, and the good times. I recommend this for everyone and anyone. My 5 year old nephew loves this show, can't get him away from it! Whether you are in the trucking industry or not, this is a great series to watch.Read full review...

Take a drive over frozen ocean with some everyday guys!

I came across this show near the end of season one during a marathon showing on the HIstory Channel. I am addicted! These drivers are brave men (and now women in season 3). Driving a fully loaded 18 wheel truck across an ice coated ocean--crazy or brave. After getting to know these everyday guys I would say both. Some are devoted drivers and family men such as Hugh and Alex. Some are clowns such as Rick (Ice Road Rick as he is better known). Through it all you learn more about these people and realize many of them love what they do despite the danger and time away from family. For them this is a part of life and how they support their family. The graphics are kind of crappy at times but the photography and scenery are great. If you haven't seen this show give it a try. If you have you'll be glad to own this set. Highly recommended!Read full review...

Ice road truckers

Wow!! What a great series. Not for sure if the guys are brave or just plain stupid?!? But, simply love this show! It's very addicting, have to watch it to see if anyone falls through the ice! Alex Debogorski is my favorite trucker. Well worth the money! Read full review...

Ice Road Truckers

Love this series! It's similar to the Deadliest Catch. Ice Road truckers is a great set to own! I don't like some of their coarse language but other than that it was great seeing what a few brave men do to get the much needed supplies to the diamond mines in the frozen months in the Northwest Territories. It's amazing all the hard work and people involved to get something we take for granted we can just go to a jewelry store to purchase.
I'll never see a diamond without thinking of these guys that help make it possible.Read full review...

Being the best and finishing the first is everything to them,only one can win the top prize. Can't wait to watch season two. Wish I had the guts to do this,tho I would love to try.Read full review...

The Premiere Season

This is a great combination video from the entire premiere season for the show and gives a great insight into a type of work in an area many know nothing about. I watched each show on the History Channel each week and felt this was a good way to watch some of the best moments again. For anyone who wants to see a different way of life for several months a year of how people make money I would say this video is for you.Read full review...
