Ice Road Truckers errors

[silvan]

Did anybody notice that guy on tonight's episode of IRT who was pulling "10,000 gallons" of "gasoline" in a tanker with white blanks in the placard holders? In another shot, he was pulling a trailer with UN 1993 placards.

I wonder what's up with that. Maybe they didn't want to shoot him pulling a real hazmat load across that lake, but with tankers you always have to have placards for the "residue last contained" unless they've been cleaned out. So either he pulled that load with improper placards on national TV or else he was hooked to some kind of dummy trailer that was hazmat free. Either way, it doesn't jibe with what was supposed to have been happening.

On a different note, I hope they fire Dave soon, so we don't have to listen to him cry so much. Wah. Everybody is out to get me because they want me to be part of a team effort. Wah.

Yup. They had really nice looking uniforms, and they paid very well. Those are the only two positive things I can say about working for R+L Carriers. As a "combination driver" anyway. It's a different game if you're a full-time driver, but good luck with that.

So far, so good. I'm pretty amused with Eagle so far. Then again, at this point in my career there I was pretty amused with R+L too.

Who knows, man. I'm done getting married to any company, and if I'm as miserable here as I wound up being at R+L, that's what the door is for.

The worst case is I change jobs so much nobody will touch me, but if that happens it's probably time to get back out of trucking again anyway. All of this is still an experiment as far as I'm concerned. I hung it up once, I can do so again.

From right here and now, I don't think that's going to be a problem. If anything, I look to be keeping my options open when our TM eventually retires. He's awesome, but if we had a different TM I could be singing an entirely different song.

Lord knows the Tree Hugger's would have had a major fit if they saw gasoline being pulled across a frozen lake. "What if it fell through the ice? We would have a major ecological disaster." They probably did have a major fit even if it was a total dummy trailer. I think History is overdoing the drama on IRT to boost ratings. I've seen other things in season's past that didn't seem to jibe or drama queening it.

Sounds like the guy ,in charge of pulling up pieces of file footage to make up the scenes, isn't paying enough attention. Kinda like those idiot Canadians endlessly traveling the same stretch
of road while yanking on the steering and the hand valve and jabbering about how slick the roads are.

Its entertainment- not reality. Dave is being portrayed as a complainer and Maya as the nice girl. Btw Lisa winked at me in the last episode, i think she got my letters.

Fuel trailers fo through the ice with no "major ecological disaster". They recover them, then deliver the fuel.

They're sealed you know....

at the end of the day it reality tv like master chief and the rest of them .boring every day stuff not sell advertising on tv.

I'm just telling you what the tree hugger's would be clamoring about. I know they are sealed but those people don't.

Pointless 'what if' fact is noone said anything.

completely manufactured and over-dubbed rubbish.

real cops, real docs, hate police and hospital shows for the same reasons.

save your mind, turn off the sound and just watch the good scenery shots.

That's true, and a very fair point.

IOW, all the shots of Lisa. Woo woo!
