Ice Road Truckers Season Two Finale
”Before the meltdown, comes the show-down…”
There was a lot of good action in the final episode of Ice Road Truckers season two. After 12 weeks on the ice, there is less than 12 hours to move a crapload of materials before the road closes. The temperatures are rising and warmer waters are melting the ice.
Trucker Jerry Dusdal said (about the ice): “You can make good margaritas outta this stuff. nice and slushy.”
The truckers are racing against the heat and each other to see who can finish with the highest load. Hugh Rowland and Eric Dufresne (the man to beat) have each hauled 66 loads. Hugh is running into some tough ice up north, where the water is coming up on the ice and turning it into slush. The artic road has lost 6 inches of ice in two days.
100 miles south, Rick Yemm is waiting to go on one last run of the season. Rick has an annoying, know-it-all attitude, don’t you think?
While Hugh is on his way to Inuvik, Eric, who is heading north, runs into a giant white-out. I can’t imagine trying to drive in these conditions. Have any of you out there had to do this? Visibility is horrible in this ice fog!
Rookie Devon Neff looks like he’s freaking out a little bit on his way to Inuvik. I probably would too if I was used to seeing ice and then I started seeing a lot of water.
Finally Rick gets the go-ahead to go to Tuktoyaktuk. Can’t believe he doesn’t know how to run a winch though, so he’s having problems getting the loader on the truck.
Meanwhile, Drew Sherwood is driving on the ice roads on his way to Aklavik. Not sure how I feel about Drew. Definitely like Hugh a lot better though. Season two of the show has only confirmed this belief.
Eric finally makes it to Langley but by that time Hugh is done with his load. Rick still can’t get his stuff loaded haha. Finally he loses it and is fired. Moron. Other truckers don’t seem to feel too sorry for him.
Eric has one more load to complete, going back to Inuvik. If he makes it back, it will be his 67th load, tying him with Hugh. But Eric is 3 hours behind Hugh.
HAHA Drew driving naked wtf!? I don’t know if anyone wants to see that…
Bear Swenson is pretty rational when it comes to talking about the melting ice. He says, “suck it up and get goin’”
Rookie Devon makes it back on solid ground, and I’d bet he’ll be back as an Ice Road Trucker in the future.
It’s all coming down to Eric and Hugh. When they pass each other it’s like the trucker version of a face-off/stare-down.
Hugh dumps his load and just has to make it back to Inuvik.
Hugh “the Polar Bear” Rowland has edged out Eric for the win. That wraps up an awesome Ice Road Truckers Season 2. What did you think about season 2?

Total BS about any rivalry with Hugh. He got put on the easiest job available. Eric did alot tougher stuff. Hugh is just a blow hard and couldn’t possibly keep up with the local drivers.
September 14th, 2008 at 1:24 pmI agree that Hugh had it made. Eric did alot of hard work with all his loads. Eric is #1 no matter what anyone says. He is very sexy, funny and has good work ethic. Wish he was my man!
