HISTORY continues its huge success story with SEASON FIVE of ICE ROAD TRUCKERS, which drew 30% more viewers than Season 4 when it aired on the Network. For two months every year, truckers on the world’s most dangerous tundra make history by hauling vital equipment to remote outposts hundreds of miles north of civilization – over roads briefly built by frozen bodies of water. This groundbreaking series continues to examine a time-honored profession that dates back almost a century, often through generations of families. And, in SEASON FIVE, Hugh, Alex, Lisa and Jack race against time, the elements and each other to transport thousands of loads before the road literally disappears into the sea. Experience all 16 episodes of this exhilarating, fan favorite series on 4 DVDs, also featuring additional never-before-seen footage.

I never thought that I could ever be so captivated by the life of an ice road trucker but even in season five, I am even more fascinated than I was in season one. If you haven’t seen this show, you are in for a treat this season and if you have, reliving the moments are truly like the first time. This is one series that I recommend everyone check out for at least an entire season. It is more gripping than you’d think and is not a waste of time like many docu-series out there. So keep an eye out for Season Five on shelves near you!
