YMMV / Ice Road Truckers

• Heartwarming Moments:
  • Near the end of Season 4, the truckers formed a convoy to bring valuable supplies to the isolated town of Nuiqsut. The warm reception that they got from the locals, including a potlatch ceremony thrown in their honor, led to a few Confession Cams of the "This is what makes this job worthwhile" variety.
  • Upon hearing that long-time rival Alex is in the hospital, Hugh drops everything to look in on him.
  • Lisa saving up enough money to buy back her horse, Sky.
• Nightmare Fuel: Deadliest Roads has this in spades, and not just for those who are afraid of heights. Just everything about the show concerning driving, period, is played as thoroughly terrifying. Even the drivers who had handled the ice roads with relative ease are scared of the free fall freeway.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: Aerosmith's "Living on the Edge" used to play over the opening credits; starting with Season 5, the show uses a suspiciously similar song instead.
