Ice Road Truckers
Driving On Thin Ice
S1 E6:
Truckers have hauled more than 100,000 tons of supplies in temperatures of forty degrees below zero, but accidents and strict safety regulations have sent many drivers packing. Jay Westgard embarks on a trip to the De Beers mine with a 95,000-pound diamond ore scrubber. Without it the De Beers mine can't go into production in the fall, but Jay has to haul it across two hundred miles of lake ice to get there. Rookie T.J. Tilcox is being investigated for driver negligence. Rick Yemm continues to make the long hauls with no heat in his truck. Emergency crews spring into action when a truck goes through the ice.
