Season 2, Episode 4: Arctic Whiteout
Here’s a few things that happened in season 2, episode 4 of Ice Road Truckers (episode title is “Arctic Whiteout”). The show kicked off by telling us that the ice is holding at 38 inches thick.
Eric Dufresne is working on moving a rig that wasn’t making any money. The company is losing $250,000 a day until they get the new rig up and running. “It’s just like a lego game.” Eric will be hauling 70,00+ pounds of equipment to the new location for the rig.
Hugh Rowland is hauling a load from Inuvik to Langley. The load is 30 tons of oak rig mats (the rig sits on these so it doesn’t melt the ice underneath), and Hugh will make the 115-mile journey to deliver his load.
Rick Yemm is off the ice again. He busted up the first 2 trucks and now truck 3 is also out of service. Rick is wasting time (and money) waiting around. Do you think it’s his driving that messed up the trucks or just the harsh conditions?
Drew Sherwood has an exciting load - groceries. He’s got to take 10 tons of junk food, pop and chips to Tuktoyaktuk 112 miles away.
Everthing is going fine until a bad snow storm moves in. It’s blowing like hell out there. Eric (I think?) has to spend the night in his truck. The episode kind of ended shortly after this, and I must confess I wasn’t paying as close attention as I should have to tell you what happened.
