The balance of power on the winter roads is turned upside down. Reigning champ Polar Industries returns, looking to maintain their dominance by any means necessary. But trucking rival, Darrell Ward, isn't backing down. He wants to turn his upstart company into a force on the winter roads. His first order of business is poaching an ice road legend out from the grips of Polar Industries. The bold move sparks an all-out war on the frozen frontier.
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.
