History
Everything starts in 2000 with a new episode released by History channel. It lasted for 46 minutes and the title was Ice Road Truckers. This episode was released as one of the episodes of Suicide Missions series (eventually, the title was changed for Dangerous Missions). This episode followed the drivers doing their dangerous job on icy frozen lakes, famous as Canada’s ice roads. Then some of the episodes were released as a part of Modern Marvels series instead. At this period of time Ice Road Truckers project managed to get growing ratings and stable viewership, which made the producers release an independent project.

Ice Road Truckers is filmed in HD. The project is devoted to six men with strong will, spending two months in remote locations facing frozen roads and hardest weather conditions.
