Ice Road Truckers Season 3
 

Downloaded the torrent and watched episode 1, hey it's typical Hollywood drama but I like the new driver :)

I never watched the first two seasons and when I noticed that the History channel had an Ice Road Trucker marathon, I set my Tivo to record it. Now I have about 22 hours of recording from Season 1 and 2. I want to watch the season 3 premiere after I complete 1 & 2, so I need to watch this while I have all this time on my hands!

So far what I have seen is pretty interesting! They sure do have a lot of Hollywood drama, but it is interesting to watch these big rigs on the Ice. From what I see on TV, they must have different log rules in Canada. These guys are talking about running for 26 hours straight before they hit the sleeper......

Season 1 was "mostly" on private road, I think the mines own it.

Season 2 was on government road, but your not allowed to stop on the ice.

Nobody is checking logs up there, season 1 they hauled drums of fuel in van trailers up the Mackenzie's winter road and I know they check logs there.

If Lisa has 6 years experience, she's doing something right...

the first show of season sucked, hopefully it will get better
I miss Rick and Drew

Looks like this season's going to be interesting, focusing on Alaskan drivers and throwing one of the Canadians from the earlier seasons into the mix.

Two Canucks, Hugh and Alex, eh... Oh, you mean Hugh is just an azz, not really a Canadian... I'm sure they got their work Visa's because their actors.

1st season rocked... the 2nd was horrible!! I loved the kid that had the flat top pete... that pete was bad ass!!

That was Jay, He hauled all the oversized stuff.

Yep, I agree, Jay had the 378 winch tractor. I also liked that French guy from season 2.

HOS in the Northwest Territories are You cannot drive after:
15 hours of driving or;
18 hours of working

Seems in the first season the ice road had no set HOS regulations.

I'm not sure how you can follow their HOS, as the show is edited.

Besides, their logs only need to look good for a very short period of time, from the ice to the yard...

18 hrs a day is enough, they likely have an exemption from the resets, like some oil-patch trucking company's.

I just watched the Season 3 premiere on my Tivo, and it was not nearly as good as seasons 1 or 2. I am glad to see Alex is back for another round, and it will be cool to see Hugh driving that "Roller Coaster"! I have to say that I really don't miss Rick very much. He was just an A**, and complained way too much. He thinks he is too good to be driving a truck unless it's on the ice.

Would Ya?

In about two seconds...knowing me it would probably take about two seconds!

long live the three pump chumps.........

Right now I could go for about anything ;)

you don't really care about her driving skills, do you?

not really. :D

me too......now if she was trying to blind side back in a bikini, I think we would care.......

I would be more then willing to blind side into her bikini.

Oh Hell Yeah! I, like Matcat would go for almost anything right about now.

I knew there was a reason I loved this site! I haven't had anyone to play the would ya game with in a long time! :banana2:

I read elsewhere that Steve Booth is wanting to go be an ice road trucker. That is too friggin funny.

I must say one thing that bothered me a little bit about season 1 and a LOT in season two was playing the same footage over and over for fill time. I can't count how many times they showed rick dumping the same load of snow.

Just going by what the drivers would say about how many hours they spent driving etc. I could be wrong because I watched the first season before I knew anything about HOS and don't remember every episode word for word.

I doubt the tv audience does either... (hence the reason why she's on there). Personally, I'll take whoever your avatar is over her any day, driving skills or not.
They also seemed to seek out drama queens for that show, which I'd reckon was for ratings, etc.

And while I agree that Jay's 378 was a cool truck, I kinda liked Mike's W900.

Arent you afraid Rick Astley will get jealous?

over.. and over.. and over again! :D

i'd care more if i was watching and she was blind siding looking out the window of a day cab. better yet.. i'll sit in the passanger seat and make sure she knows how to use the air bags right.. i mean.. the dump valve.. i mean.. finding a hole for the trailer.. i mean.. well you guys get it

:eek1: :eek1:

How does she qualify as "pretty"?? To much eye crap....and way to skinny. :hellno:

Gotta love the thick girls :thumbsup:

He is only saying that because there are only a slim percentage of skinny girls in Indiana ! (Pun is intended!) :rofl:

:hellno: :hellno:

you like 'em MEATY, dammit driver

Mmmm meaty women... drool...

I like women "Healthy". Not fat. Not skinny. Healthy!

Excuse me..... are you ordering lunch or something :D

A good woman could be my lunch :rofl:

BAD, BAD boy
