ere’s me thinking that was what irt was all about driving stupid roads with crazy drops on one side and suicide drivers in cars.
given the choice i would go with the ice all day long?

To be honest, you’ll struggle finding competitors for the world’s toughest truckers in the UK. Most of it is fairly low skill/effort.

Heavy Haulage drivers may be your best bet or perhaps drivers hauling logs out of forests, you could even try sewage tanker drivers!

Good luck anyway.

I agree with Silver_Surfer… not many tough truckers in this country! (But worth a laugh watching some try to be tough…)

We’ve all seen what happens when you point a camera at a bunch of truckers! It’s just a big creamy mess…!

I’ll pass thanks… :grimacing:

The very name “worlds TOUGHEST truckers” puts me off.

Conjurs up images of fighting drivers and the like, why not call it something positive like…

Worlds Most Experienced Truckers.

Then again that wouldnt get the ratings would it.

More bull for the cameras and the anti-truck brigade me thinks.

Would like to be proved wrong on this one.

I’m up for a go of this no probs. You only live once eh!

I’m warming to the idea now!

you wont get many from the uk apply unless the trucks are autos, have aircon, cd players and leccy windows and the trailers are curtainsiders. :stuck_out_tongue:

running repairs ■■?, some wont even change a bulb.

reckon an indian driver will win.

20 hour shift in a tata, 100 degress, no aircon, no brakes , mountainous terrain, 55 ton of straw on a 10 ton truck and when he finally parks up for the night gets out and fixes that duff turbo with a prayer an an old baked bean tin.

I nominate this guy as the UK’s entrant…

I’ve applied. I’ve got nothing to lose and it sounds like a laugh.

Exactly.

That’s the whole point, they want to entertain. Ask yourself if the cast of The Apprentice are really the sharpest business minds out there… :wink:

Hilarious! I hope his cab is locked? You wouldn’t want to see his handbag get pinched now would you? :laughing:

What a prat lol! Can you imagine the repsonse you’d get from the gov if you asked him to get you one of those…

We’re still looking for the toughest trucker! email us for an application form truckers@dragonfly.tv

I’d happily have a go, but when you look at what the Ice Road Truckers go through we in the UK are not exactly in the same league. Whats tough about driving in the UK apart from the traffic and fuel prices really? I would need a great deal more information before I signed on the dotted line, just look at the stick the Stobart drivers got…nuff said.

Have we got to eat these tough Truckers,if so I need some new teeth :smiling_imp: :laughing: :laughing: .

Ive had my Weetabix and ive got a Yorkie bar KINGSIZE where do i sign :laughing:
