Damn 15 hours driving thats alot of driving time compared to our 11 hour rule. If you was to make better money go to canada lol. Make more money and more miles. Why do these bastards here in us r coming up with this shit.
in canada the h.o.s. are slightly different (13 hrs driving/14 hrs on duty in a 16 hr window. north of the 60th parrellel they change again (15hrs driving 18 hr on duty.
The ice road is a private road, paid for by the oil companys using it. DOT and all that other crap does not apply on private roads. It is up to the oil companys and trucking companys "due dilligance" to ensure the hours of operation are safe. Once y…
actually it's 15 hours. not 16. and it doesn't matter how boring of a driver you are, they can edit the show to make you look very exciting! hahahha
OK here Susan, let me help you with your grammar first. Your title should read "Do The Ice Road Truckers.... OK end of lesson. Actually you bring up a good point. Some of the comments I have seen advertised if that you have to be able to drive 30 Ho…
I am not trying to read to much in the show. But, my problem is that when ever the news or anyone else interviews drivers or have a show like ice road truckers they should show that drivers do have rules to comply with. They always interview the dri…
Absolutely! Otherwise it would be just a boring documentary. I happened to catch a rerun of a one-time show on the History Channel about the Canadian ice road truckers. I guess it was the precursor of the series. It had interviews with different dri…
what happen that season really happened . but you have to make a few adjustments to make it interesting to the veiwer and tv worthy
This is almost a part two to my reply to yours re filming in the dark. I know the show is entertainment, but it is also in the reality genre. It has a narrative that is presented as being non-fiction and having some degree of authenticity. I suppose…
we dont' violate the log book on tv! you are right that would be dumb. but tv doesn't show us sleeping or taking breaks. that would be boring. you guys are reading way too deep into this.... the show is for entertainment.
What do you know, this came up on the most recent episode. Did you know it was coming or am I behind on seeing the episodes?! The newest one I've seen shows Hugh getting cited for not having a 10 hour break. Somewhere someone mentioned that the rule…
P.S. to my earlier reply: It occurred to me that my answer about reality shows not being always real could also be the answer to the question I posted about why the trucks are shown almost running in the daytime even though it's winter and they are…
On "reality" shows, looks can be deceiving. I'm sure there are a lot of things in the show that look one way or really are, or happened, another way. I wouldn't think there would be an exception to the rule for such a dangerous road, unless with so…
i dont think they need to obey the rule because it looks like the were driving for 20 plus hours
I would like to know when the ice road truckers are driving on us roads if they have to make a log out. Do they have to obey 11 hours on and 8 hours off. Because when they are driving over 15 hours they are putting their lives in danger and other tr…
