Anyone else watching this? These men are insane...

All I gotta say that it's suicidal.

I know nothing of these ice truckers, but coincidentally I was driving on the highway today and I ended up behind a gasoline tanker. The whole time I was behind it, I kept waiting for it to explode. I don't think I could be a gasoline tanker driver.

I think the absolute worst hauling job would be to drive one of those big chicken trucks, Mr. Rain Man. If you wreck, you don't die, you just have to chase chickens for the rest of your friggin' life.

Every time I drive behind one of those, I keep waiting for it to explode.

Kevin- I've heard from a few peeps in Denver that we are the only major metropolitan city that permits flammable and toxic materials to be driven on a major interstate less than a mile from the city's downtown.

It is against the law for trucks carrying dangerous materials to be within a certain mileage from major downtown areas, but since I-70 and I-25 both run within a few miles of Denver's downtown area, we have no choice but to allow it.

A few years ago, they had to haul radioactive materials north on I-25 and it caused quite a concern for a lot of folks here, including myself. Imagine if a terrorist group decided to do such a thing. The consequences could be horrifying...

The Ice Road truckers thing has been on before. I guess now History channel has dedicated a series to it.

Being said, each and every one of those summbitches have ten times teh cajones I will ever have.

I'll bet the one time he doesn't worry about it exploding, it will explode.

Ahh, the humor of Catch-22.

booger · 06-20-2007, 02:08 AM

no kidding.

That's a lot of chicken feathers.

Its all made up. Same producer did the moon landing back years ago. And he is a muslim they say.

I watched the show Sunday night. I put it into my Season Pass to watch the remaining episodes. Those mofos are nuts. There is no way I would be driving over frozen lakes. The one truck broke down in the middle of the lake and another driver rode into a ditch off the side of the frozen lake. I am assuming they make a lot of dough for this, if not, they are nuts. I think they said the ice is only 28 inches thick. At some points you can see it splitting and here it cracking under the weight of their loads. The one kid was hauling a huge turbine like structure that had to weigh 100 million tons.

HonestChieffan · 06-20-2007, 07:00 AM

100 million tons is a lot.
