Ice Road Truckers
The dare-devil drivers are returning to History™ in 2010 in series 4 of Ice Road Truckers as they transport oil across the hazardous ice roads of the Dalton Highway.
This series follows the team across Alaska to Prudhoe Bay, hauling huge loads over the most dangerous of terrain imaginable. Tensions run high as they race to deliver the goods. The race is on - the bigger their load, the bigger their pay and everything is at stake.
Each trucker must make important decisions to ensure their loads get to their destinations on time and in one piece. One rookie mistake could mean an end to their trucking career and possibly their lives. They have everything to gain and everything to lose as they each tally up deliveries of much needed supplies. As they drive across some of the most remote, treacherous places known to man, the Ice Road Truckers undertake one of the deadliest jobs on earth.
As they battle through Phase 3 snow storms and total white out blizzards, each trucker must use their skills, knowledge and courage to deliver the goods on time. A lot rests on this season of trucking, as each driver must prove their worth as they navigate some of the most dangerous roads on earth. Trucks must be skilfully driven across treacherous frozen lakes; no roads and impossible conditions means that this incredible journey has sadly become responsible for the deaths of dozens of men.
Trucker favourites Hugh ‘Polar Bear’ Rowland and Alex Debogorski continue their rivalry, as Alex is on his final warning before losing his trucker license, tensions are running high. Jack Jessee and Lisa Kelly make a welcome return and are joined by new drivers Greg Boadwine and Ray Vellieux.
In this male dominated profession, Lisa Kelly must fight to prove she’s just as good and as the only female trucker, she must work twice as hard. However, will she earn the long time respect and the loads that come with it? The race is on, but this year things are heating up as they race North in the dash for the cash.
