Ice Road Truckers

Ready To Roll

Jay hauls a 17-ton water tank over 31 inches of ice all the way to the De Beers Diamond mine. The rivalry heats up between Hugh and Rick as they compete for the highest load count.

Destination: Diamond Mine

An arctic storm forces a road closure. Alex hauls a 44,000-pound diamond ore crusher across 350-miles of ice to the BHP mine. And brutal -40 degree temperatures start to take their toll on the truckers.

The Big Chill

It's halfway through the grueling ice road season. Six hundred truckers have ferried more than 4,000 loads to the northern mines. They still have 6,000 left to go.

Into the Whiteout

The Big Melt

Spring brings a rush of warm weather and the big melt begins. The road is nearly empty as only the toughest or craziest truckers remain. There's a race to the finish between Alex, Hugh, Jay, and T.J.

The Final Run

From its geological history going back millions of years to the origins of the indigenous Eskimos that have inhabited the land for hundreds of years, this one-hour special will examine in depth the changes that have taken place in Yellowknife.

Then and Now

The truckers look back at their experiences during the last ice road season and explain what they do now that they're off the ice. Tensions are sure to be high as both Rick and Drew have not spoken to Hugh since leaving the ice roads prematurely.

Off the Ice

The truckers continue their look back at their experiences during the last ice road season and explain what they do now that they're off the ice. We'll also take a look at the town of Yellowknife--and the mining industry--and see what life is like.
