- Over 3.4 million people watched the premiere of “Ice Road Truckers” on 17 June 2007, making it the most-watched original television broadcast on History Channel since the network was launched in 1995. The reality TV series featured people whose job involved driving across thin ice over deep lakes in the remote Arctic region of Alaska and Canada to deliver critical supplies to cut-off communities, industrial sites, and diamond mines. After 11 seasons, the show was canceled and its loyal viewers were left wondering why. It received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Cinematography for Nonfiction Programming in 2008.

I asked a Swedish trucker what he thought of it.
"A lot of drama...we do the same, but our Scanias don't break down or get stuck."
Scania is sterile
I LOVE SCANIAS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE 😍. I'VE ALL WAYS LOVED SCANIAS SINCE I WAS LITTLE & ALL WAYS WILL 😍
Same in Switzerland ! You are on road's mountain with snow? Stop crying, put the chains snow and do your job !!!
It's a TV show MORON If there were no drama no one would watch. Swedes are full of crap anyways
@@jonnychingas5757 You are right, it is a TV show with a load of wannnabefamous celbs pulling funny faces for the camera.
Apparently the real ice road truckers hate it because it's so divorced from reality.
Ice Pilots is much better. Mikey doesn't fly, but he's got a shrewd business head on him in spite of appearances.
For myself having a 47 year career in trucking BC and the Yukon this show was a load of Bulls**t right out of gate.
Right. hollywood drama.....suspense with no end....never getting real life, true. Ice road truckers....yeah, all the wrong type of trucks, for those winter/road/weather conditions. THEY SHOULD HAVE OLDER R MODEL Macks, with large older Mack engines, No computers: just all mechanical stuff. Camel back suspension / NOT AIR RIDE. And, 2 air dryers, with a hotbox behind cab, for heat, in case of engine failure/coolant leaks, etc. (old trucker in Alberta)
I worked along the Dalton Hiway for 15 years putting a few hundred thousand miles on 4 wheelers and yes it was a bunch of BS. Hell they even wrecked with my work Excursion that was being transported for a blown head gasket repair. They did it on a straight stretch.Carlille had a reputation as being rude with not slowing down for oncoming traffic even when that traffic slowed.
I hauled water in the drilling rigs in northern Alberta and BC. I had to freeze in muskeg before trucks like on this show could drive on. I drove out on the lakes to load water, it was no big deal but always in the back of my mind I might fall through.
Any responsible owner in that type of region would never shirk on maintenance like Hugh did, leaving staff without heaters etc. It's all BS talking about going through the ice, but nit saying "but only if I drive like a dick over ir"
It's all bollocks.
@@kennethyoung1164 During the early 1980s oil companies were drilling offshore on island the were natural and man made off the Prudhoe Bay coast. You could drive close to 60 miles on the Arctic Ocean to the furthest site..
Watched till the end, but this video did not say why it was canceled. And to be honest all the fake crackling sounds of ice and repeated types of non sense in the show got really old... so I'm not surprised it got canceled. I hope Hugh got nothing... he was the worst of humanity, couldn't stand him. Hope Kelly is doing well. Alex was the best character. I'd likely watch again but if Hugh came back I'd think twice if the show kept him on.
Rick was as bad as Hugh and maybe even worse. Those two regularly showed a total disrespect for laws, rules and equipment and only cared for delivering the most loads per season, at the cost of everything.
You are crazy, art was by FAR the WORST! Annoying manchild ALWAYS fkin up!
I really loved Alex too. What a lovely beautiful man, kind, polite, generous spirit, quiet nature, sense of humour and faith in the Lord🙏💕
I also liked Jack Jesse and the young lad Austin Wheeler though their relationship didn't start off well.
Didn't particularly like Porkchop. Too much of a smart arse and arrogant. "Can't stop the Chop"! Well, that didn't age well did it😕
I miss the shows and still watch the old episodes. I watched till the end. I'm a trucker and am always amazed at the skills these truckers display. I live through them on the ice roads. Please bring it back !!!!
Never missed an episode, felt the first couple of years were the best.
Like until like season 5-6 it was decent and season 9-10 it wasn’t bad
The show wasn't the same without Darrell.
@@palerider7632 He definitely did standout .
Hello what are the best seasons ? I have seen only a few episodes that too bits and pieces .
@@111danish111 It’s been sometime since I watched, would say the first three years.
I've driven for 26 years, no one drives like this show
I watched till the end and miss Ice roads truckers
I ALWAYS WATCHED ICE ROAD 🛣️ TRUCKERS/ALASKA,THAT WAS MY #1FAVORITE SHOW,NEVER MISSED A SHOW, ALWAYS HAD MY EYE'S ON LISA BUT DIDN'T CARE FOR POLAR BEARS 🐻🐨 DRIVING ATTITUDE,NOT STRAPPING HIS LOAD DOWN GOOD ENOUGH,ALOT OF TIMES YES BUT TOO MANY TIMES,YES, IT'S THE DRIVER'S RESPONSIBILATY,PERIOD.SURE MISS THAT SHOW.
I am probably one of the very few that actually liked Hugh on the program. Did like looking at Lisa too.
Yep, Lisa looked great on the show. She has really put alot of weight on last time I saw her, looks nothing like she did before.
I admired Hugh. He certainly knew how to drive a truck!
Every time he named one of the truckers, or their wives, he showed the trucker Lisa - and never mentioned her.
I got confused alot as the pictures do not match the story
@@davids4063 Yeah, I watched most of the series and the pictures had almost no relation to the story - plus the story was disjointed. He'd mention something about one trucker but didn't finish the thought, instead abruptly switching to someone else. I had to rewind a little bit through the whole video just to make sure what he was saying, and about whom!
Lisa was hot. I wonder if she slept in the nude
I watched every episode & still watch the re-runs.I miss watching them all,I wish they'd bring it back.I hope they're all doing well & wish them well💕☺️🙏
I watched til the end. Great show they had some great personalities. I especially missed watching Alex, Lisa, and others. The dedication and sacrifices made by then is great. ♠️🎩☯️🏁
I absolutely loved watching these episodes! Sad to hear it was canceled.. will the documentary episodes continue again??
I watched till the end I never missed an episode from season 1-11 every time it came on I would sit down an watch it
Over 13 minutes to not, with any authority whatsoever, answer the question that forms the title. I believe that is called Clickbait.
I watched til the end and also miss Ice Road Truckers.
RIP Darrell Ward
I believe it got canceled due to Darrell's untimely death in season 10 and they only mafr season 11 to see if it was still OK since I myself was a huge fan of Darrell and even applied to drive for him and I was also unfortunate to see the crash site on I 90 in MT where he passed the day of the accident
I think it ended cuz like most shows over 5 seasons it got played out and was boring as fuck.
darrell was far from the whole show.
Incredibly thought out! Everything feels nice.
I have always wondered what the regulations are regarding log books and driving hours are up there ?
It was made for TV but does not reflect the true driving experiences for the the people that do this all the time the true drivers keep quite that is the name of the game
Watched it from the first episode to the last. In the beginning it was really good, but near the end, there were things done to make it look more dramatic. Those in the trucking industry caught on to the phoniness of some of it and were able to pick out the "dramatized" parts.
I watched all of it, still watch reruns when it comes on.
My brother and sister got to meet Alex and Lisa at truck fest in Edinburgh. Lisa is tiny in real life.
I atched til the end. I loved watching ICE ROAD TRUCKERS and i still rewatch the seasons.
I watched till the end.....I have all 11 seas0on DVD and watch them repeatedly 👍
I watched this awesome show to the end. Missed this show.
Soooo....why was it cancelled?
My friends in Alaska said the show was utter bullshit. They're also telling me about how difficulti it's going to be to have ice roads with all the melting in the permafrost.
ALL STAGED. I worked on the camera crew for the first 2 seasons. It was so staged and almost comical at how they scripted "incidents". I eventually quit as I didn't agree with how much the producers lied to people.
Watched 3 episodes of season 1 last night !! Fantastic !! I never saw season 1
i just wish the show would have been more real. The over dramatization was really annoying.
Hope the Ice Road Truckers are in Ottawa in the Freedom Convoy!
It was cancelled cuz when you seen one episode you perty much seen them all...
I literally got my AZ (cdl) because of this show. When the first show of the first season aired, I became a trucker and was fully licensed 3. Months later lol
Thought that farse was canceled 10 years ago?
It was OK at first but got old pretty fast. The same old fake drummed up drama got embarrassingly stupid.
I watched to the end and still follow some on there own channels like lisa & alex plus few the others !
I watched to the end and Darrell worly was a great ice road trucker
If you saw one episode, you have seen them all. It's the same thing every episode. Are they going to fall through the ice ?
No...there was some seasons on the Dalton highway in alaska which did not involve driving on lakes.
I watched till the end !!
What are the best seasons ? Just saw the first two episodes on hulu for the first time .
I watched to the end and I miss watching it .
Thanks to IRT, I have deep respect and gratitude for ALL long haul truckers, whether they are on ice roads or the interstate down in the lower 48.
My favorite bit was the animations when they showed what could kill them.
On ya Lisa. Love from Australia 🇦🇺.
Great show
I watched til the end it's an amazing show that I miss watching
They broadcast all the episodes,this show is still
popular, people want too
watch this show! They have
millions of fan's, they should
have ice road truckers available on DVD!
Still waiting to hear why it was cancelled ?
Non fiction programming? The entire show was full of fiction. Yes, real people do the work that was shown but none of the real people are as stupid as the characters in the show. Most of the things shown were over dramatized and just plain ignorant. All B.S.! I felt sorry for the characters being portrayed as completely brainless.
I kind of agree. But I don't think they made some of those guys look ignorant, they were ignorant.
Darrel Ward was a good driver. So is Lisa. As they both were truckers off the show. And Lisa is still trucking in Alaska.
Lisa also became an owner operator in October 2021
As a trucker (non ice-road) I learned a lot that I didn't know about the whole concept. But ultimately it was major trumped-up drama. The under the ice shot, ALWAYS with the fake cracking sounds, the insinuation that deaths are so commonplace (they aren't), etc. Don't get me wrong, a tough job for tough folks. And another risk factor for trucking. But overly dramatic/fake.
Lisa Kelly was a good truck
driver on the show,they made
her prove herself,driving on
the ice,with a heavy load.
They wanted to see if she can
handle the stress! She did,and
the other driver's,respected her! I wonder,if she is still a
ice road trucker?
Why didn't you talk about the driver that kidnaped Lisa and held her against her will
I never heard about that!!
I never missed a show. I thought it was one of the best shows on tv. I hope it comes back. I miss the gang.
It's admirable not just sublime!
i watched till the end....i have fond memories of staying up late with my dad and watching the show......its part of the reason why i have a fascination with the trucking industry
Talked about everyone but Lisa???? I really liked the show.
I watched till the end.
The confrontations were set up and soooo fake. I'm normally not a rude person but with few exceptions these Drivers seemed to be some of the dumbest people on TV. A close second or maybe even tied with some of these guys would have been those Clowns that harvested trees on the side of mountains. Where they'd drag the trees up the mountains. I can't remember the name but the guys in the Southeast that cut trees in the swamps was a good show. Smart and hard workers.
@12:27 the truck saying ridgway that’s never been in ice road truckers has it’s from England U.K
I watch it when I get stuck it helps me get it done
Dont miss it! Tired of the stupid stunts they did! Pulling the trailer brakes on to make the trailer slide sideways around a curve and running in the "ditch" to make some drama, just stupid. Not realty trucking.
Oh yeah running supplies to Oil fields on ice is not really trucking. Did they try and create drama sure that's what TV is for, did they create accidents no.
The oil field men know what the hell there doing, it's goofballs like Hugh and Rick that just clown around and bust up trucks.
Lol in the first season an RTL truck fell through the ice on Waite Lake (I pumped the load over to one of our empty trucks) Hugh was the next truck behind the guy, he dirty his pants and turned up a road for just empty’s and stopped on a portage Nuna left him there for 30hrs till they profiled the ice. Driving on the ice is the easiest most boring trucking you will ever do. (Out of Yellowknife)
@@RomeKG471 Lol
I have seen truckers that have real respect for the winter roads knowing that there's only so much frozen muskeg enough to hold all that weight to drive at a minimum speed but these guys have no respect at all especially art,I'm surprised he didn't punch through the muskeg with the way he's driving.
Ice Road Truckers should have been developed by the CBC, not dumped by The History Channel.
We are a symbol of freedom, the special people hate freedom.
The truck depicted in the original show was a small scale model using icing sugar for snow, they (at times took l8berties with the truth, which may have put some viewers off.
Watched till the end
was replace here in Canada with 401 emergency...
They had this on the TV at my truck driving school on day 1 while we were doing physicals and drug tests.
That is the most I ever watched. Never got into it. But you could tell there was manufactured drama and bs.
It's a TV show IDIOT If there was no drama No one would watch WTF is wrong with you?
@@jonnychingas5757 you should probably calm down. Lol. I bet you got a big ass vein in the middle of your forehead, just waiting to burst. Lol
I still follow Lisa on her RUclips channel.
I know why it canceled because it really sucked. It was so fake. I talked to many ice road truckers and they all said the same thing.
AND we still don't know why it was cancelled. Only reason I can see is ratings money !!!!
Turn the video to 0.75x, for better watching.
I agree 100% with everything
I watched till the end
I never made it thru the first season. After the thousandth or so video of under the ice and them just doing truly stupid stuff I stopped. It was just staged so-called reality.
So why was it cancelled?
They still do the job, it's just that they don't film it anymore
You keep showing,"Screwy Dewey",but never mention him by name.That "clown" must have very long arms,as he was constantly,patting him self on the back!Hugh was very entertaining,Alex was by far the best man on the show as was the guy who lost his life in a plane accident.The guy who worked for "Polar" and was alway"s screwing up was hilaurious!
I watched till the end. Loved it. Miss it.
Going thru the ice is all that counts but nobody has seen it.
We miss the show lisa was good
I miss this show so much! Come back please please please
Ice road truckers was a good
show about real people!
The show ran 11 season's,
that is very good! It had
number one ratings for several years.lots of drama
kept the episode's interesting;
I'm a big fan of the ice truckers I wish they would come back
I always loved watching Ice Road Truckers
It was good at the beginning, But was just all fake reality TV at the end..
Like all reality shows it ran its course and was getting ridiculous....plain and simple.
Not enough drama for TV
Wish they would bring it back I miss watching it
the narrator sounds like Jimmy from South Park if he grew up and lost the lisp
Non-fiction..? 😂 That show was so over-dramatized that it was directly embarrassing for truckdrivers
I watched tell the end really like the show
Bring it back missing it great show
because like ANY other tv show it ran its coarse??? SMH
I watched till the End.
You failed to mention Lisa Kelley.
I watched until the end
What History channel did to Alex Debagorki was unexcusable.I will never forgive them for that.
Watching trucks drive across ice. How exciting smfh
