Unusually mild weather set the tone for the premier of the 10th season of the History Channelās āIce Road Truckersā, writes Overdrive sister site Truckers News Editor David Hollis.
Warmer than usual weather caused the āice roadsā to not fully freeze as early as normal, and Polar Enterprisesā loads began to stack up on the yard without the roads being open yet, Hollis says.
The showās Todd Dewey was tasked with hauling a 25-ton load of construction supplies after a cold front allowed some roads to firm up enough to traverse. The ice over the lake Dewey was crossing was more than a foot thinner than normal.
Darrell Ward and Lisa Kelly also found themselves in a jam due to the unseasonably warm weather as the season kicked off.
