Well IMHO Hugh is running junk for his fleet. The only truck he really seems to care about keeping in good order is his. Other than that the only time he really cares about the other trucks is if something happens that stops them from making him money.

Here is something to consider about the condition of Hugh's fleet. Hugh has 2 trucks sitting empty and Rick has no heat, but for some reason Rick is not jumping into one of the other trucks. What does that tell you? Tells me Rick knows the other two trucks have even more problems than the POS he is driving.

I worked for a guy like that one time. I was running a M-F dedicated run, about 450 mile round trip. Unless the truck stopped running he would insist on waiting until the weekend to fix anything.

:roll: :roll:

 

Rick quit. Now Hugh is the only one left from his company driving the Ice Road. Next week, Season Final. Wonder if the History Channel will make another one next year?

 

Rick called into the Bubba show last week and said they got picked up for 2 more seasons. He will be driving for someone

 

Cool. WDVE in Pittsburgh had Hugh on a couple weeks ago. He didn't say much about the show because they only aired about 4 episodes at the time. He did however hint about Drew. If I find the interview on line I post the link. It was funny though.

 

They're picked up for two more seasons?
Wonderful. :sad: Just how long can you watch the
same boring thing over and over again?
On the plus side, more chance for Hugh to fall
through the ice. Now that I want to see. :lol:

 

Ive only seen one show; 'junk eqipmt.' exactly :?

 

I guess I had it wrong then. No need to get so defensive! I thought he was still in Yellowknife when it happened.

TJ just doesn't seem like a good driver to me. What do I know though? I'm just a rookie myself with only a couple years experience.

 

That's why above I said I wouldn't mind working for Hugh. I knew there were things the show was leaving out. The only thing I really thought wasn't cool (or actually was) was leaving Rick without heat. You can't run without a heater up there.

I understand running junk equipment in that kind of enviroment but it's gotta have heat and be safe.

 

The key word is running. It has to run before it can be safe or heated. Hugh said he also employs Rick at his excavating company. Those trucks are going year round. That 1995 FLD Rick had with no heat must have some serious miles and wear on it. I liked how Hugh said Rick was "whining" about his heat. What a clown that guys is. No wonder he had no drivers at the end of the season.

 

We can't get that show where we live, it is filmed in Canada but we can't even watch it on Canadian TV
