Truckers with nerves of steel take their lives in their hands driving heavily loaded vehicles across frozen lakes to deliver supplies to remote locations in Canada and Alaska. Whether they're bringing supplies to Canadian diamond mines, supplying offshore oil rigs in Alaska or even charting new territory driving over frozen swamps and rivers to bring much-needed supplies to small towns, these extreme truckers face troubles from their machines and from Mother Nature.

3.5/4
The show reveals a world most of us didn't even know existed and captures it so vividly that you can almost feel the chill of its 40-below-zero temperatures. Go to Full Review Irv Letofsky The Hollywood Reporter 03/10/2020
What demands your attention is that the producers keep their watch over a few of the drivers, like Hugh, Alex, Rick, etc., who are great characters in their own right and have their own special sense of the gallows rides. Go to Full Review Virginia Heffernan New York Times 03/10/2020
Watching these guys make their runs, it's hard not to share in their cold, fatigue and horrible highway hypnosis, that existential recognition behind the wheel late at night that the pull of sleep and the pull of death are one and the same. Go to Full Review Kelly West CinemaBlend 03/10/2020
In terms of entertainment, the show falls short. It didn't do much to raise my already limited interest in extreme-trucking. Go to Full Review Jake Meaney PopMatters 03/10/2020
5/10
I like the idea of the show very much and its Wages of Fear vibe, but the execution is just generally lacking, and I don't know what they can do to change it, really, aside from sabotaging trucks and the road itself to ratchet up the danger and drama.

3/5
These big personalities keep Ice Road Truckers interesting, but viewers without a taste for rough-and-tumble guy humor -- or the show's inherent tension and somewhat salty language -- may not be in it for the long haul. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
