Now that the 135-foot derrick has been delivered to the MGM exploration site, and now must transport the 80-ton substructure that will form its base before it can be erected. Weighing 160,000 pounds, the base must be delivered in pieces and will still be the heaviest and most dangerous load of the season. The job is given to veteran trucker Bear Swenson and Arctic Ice Road rookie Alex Debogorski. Compounded by on-going and increasing health problems, the pressure on this trucker is rising fast.

Ice Road Truckers Show Summary

At the top of the world, in the coldest parts of North America, there is a whole trucking industry that most people had never heard of. Some communities and industries can only be reached for a few months each year, when rivers or seas freeze over. Ice Road Truckers features the activities of drivers who operate trucks on seasonal routes crossing frozen lakes and rivers in remote arctic territories in Canada and Alaska.

Seasons 1 and 2 are based in Canada's Northwest Territories, first the diamond mines around Yellowknife and then the Mackenzie River ice road from Inuvik. Seasons 3 and 4 move to the USA and focus on Alaska's improved but still remote Dalton Highway, supplying the oilfields in Prudhoe Bay. Seasons 5 and 6 split coverage between Alaska and the winter roads Winnipeg, in Canada's Manitoba, while Alex heads farther north than ever before on the deadly Dempster.
