Default Ice Road Truckers

Any other white trash addicted to this series on the History Channel? This one should be right up your alley, CP. You'd like the characters.

It focuses on a group of big rig drivers in northern Canada...for a few months each year, the lakes freeze over enough (about 3' thick) to create a road for heavy transport to the diamond mines. There are guys up there hauling up to 100K lbs on the ice - you can hear the ice cracking as they drive over it, and trucks have fallen through. They can only drive 20 MPH or the weight/motion of the truck causes a huge wave under the ice which will eventually bust through. Pretty cool. The guys earn a lot for it - a year's worth of pay in a few months.

Anyways, 9 PM Central time on Sunday nights. Someone (Drew or TJ) supposedly dies next week.
