This is sort of a ridiculous show. These guys (and gals) aren't truckers. They're tow truck drivers who also do odd-hauling jobs. Dale who's "the bosses top man" is a joke. First show, he locks his keys in the truck, freaks out and later thinks about quitting. In later episodes, he poorly straps a drum of fuel-oil onto the back of his truck, drives like a maniac and sends it over a cliff where he leaves it (hope the EPA was watching). Then in a later show, he drives on an ice-road going too fast with no sun-glasses on and slams into a snow bank because of the glare. Someone is always having to help this guy because he's always messing up. And I won't even get started about him popping prescription pain pills WHILE DRIVING after he hurts his back or the constant whining about the jobs he gets and refusing the bosses phone calls. The other characters are screw-ups too. Even the lady driver who I started out liking because of her determination and drive has showed what a joke she is when she took a job for one of the local tow-truck operators and then sold the guy out when her old boss called her and demanded that she do the job on his behalf (her word means nothing). Why have I watched 5 episodes so far? Because the natural beauty of the area is awesome and the drivers are OK'ish for a laugh when nothing else is on.
