This is just plain good entertainment for any fan of big vehicles and big men doing big jobs in the big outdoors. Despite the show's very simple premise and lack of any serious twists and turns, it never seems to get boring or stale. Of course, their biga$$ trucks are fun to watch in their own right! I've just heard that the show has been picked up for a second season and am well pleased to hear it. Just real guys doing real, honest, hard work and not being unnecessarily bitchy about it. His first wreck of the season tests his skill on the rotator plus his skills as a leader. While Jamie pushes further into new territory, changes rock the company - forcing Colin to take on a new role. Jamie and his crew are a pretty likable bunch who put up with demanding working conditions themselves, and unlike the similarly situated Ice Road Truckers series (another of my faves) there are no grindingly obnoxious characters to irritate. When winter strikes its first blow, John - Jamies newest recruit - has to save a snowplow stuck in the grip of an icy river. See how a local heavy recovery firm works through the hard winters helping. As a Western Canadian who's driven the Coq countless times - but never in winter - I've been fascinated to see what a zoo it becomes when the snow flies, particularly for the semi drivers who must push through with their loads year-round in every kind of weather. Highway Thru Hell: With Jamie Davis, Dave Pettitt, Al Quiring, Colin McLean. I stumbled onto this show quite by accident on the 'net a couple of weeks ago, as I don't have Discovery Canada in my cable TV lineup.
