It's kind of awesome and frightening at the same time, watching the show. You get to know the drivers as they tape and it takes a while because the truckers can only go a few miles an hour on thinner ice, as the vibrations from 30,000 pounds and up of truck shake the ice loose and create cracks in it. I haven't watched the show this season but I remember seeing one poor guy get one tired caught in an ice crack and it split wide open and his whole trailer and part of his bobcat was sucked down into that thing. He and the crew scrambled to get out and they showed a bit of that footage. Having ridden with a trucker for a couple of months, I find it absolutely amazing and terrifying at the same time.
