Ice Road Truckers

    The hit History™series Ice Road Truckers is back and is more extreme than ever. This action-packed adventure reveals the virtually unknown occupation of ice road trucking, one of the world's most dangerous jobs. Ice Road Truckers charts the lives of the extraordinary men who haul vital supplies over frozen lakes and oceans that double as roads to outfit companies and people above the Arctic Circle. The livelihood of many depends on these tenuous roads, which are comprised of hills that resemble rollercoasters and even a 120-mile stretch of frozen ocean. Through the years, these unpredictable ice roads have been responsible for the deaths of dozens of men. It is a race against time, against the elements and against each other. The series will continue to examine this time-honored profession that dates back almost a century, often through generations of families.

    Ice Road Truckers is a daring new genre of programming that honors the men who carry on the traditions of the pioneers: men who live for action and danger; men who make history every day, proving that the frontier never closed…it just got tougher.
