EP1 The Death Road Sep 25, 2011

Three teams of North American truckers take on South America's Andes Mountains, where they're out to prove they have what it takes to haul any load over any road. Veterans and rookie drivers alike will have to battle thick Amazon jungles, landslides, and cliffside routes where any mistake can be fatal. It's only the first trip, but already the roads are forcing even the most seasoned veterans to second-guess their decision to challenge "The Death Road."

EP2 Rise of the Rookies Oct 02, 2011

Patience and tempers are stretched to the limits on the Bolivian Death Road day after day. Dave and Lisa deal with their malfunctioning truck, racing against the clock to make sure they can still deliver their load on time. Hugh and Rick battle both the international language barrier and muddy roads as tempers boil. Inexperience catches up to rookies Tim and Tino, where they'll have to second-guess their ability to drive the deadly, cliffside roads. And at the end of the day, two truckers, pushed to their limits, call it quits.

EP3 Lisa vs. The Devil's Bridge Oct 09, 2011

After two veteran truckers give up and head home, Hugh Rowland and Lisa Kelly are forced to take on the Death Road without spotters. Lisa moves to the Southern Death Road, where she faces her biggest challenge so far--alone. The rookie team of Tim and Tino have to navigate treacherous cliffs as well as tight fits in town, where navigating around cars and buildings may prove as challenging as dodging landslides, all to get their load to a community in need.

EP4 The Replacement Trucker Oct 16, 2011

Trucker Lisa Kelly gets a look at her new partner, Texan long-hauler G.W. Boles, and G.W. gets a look at some of the deadliest roads on the planet in his first outing as Lisa's spotter. Hugh Rowland, still trucking solo, does his best not to play demolition derby in a local market with his giant truck. Rookie Tim Zickuhr gets his first shot at the Death Road, and with rookie spotter Tino Rodriguez riding shotgun, the young team struggles to keep their over-sized load from falling off the truck, or worse, pulling them off the cliff.

EP5 Death Race Oct 23, 2011

The rookie team of Tim and Tino are feeling more confident than ever, and are out to prove they can drive with the veterans by challenging trucker Hugh Rowland to a race down the Death Road. But Hugh isn't ready to hand over his title as "fastest man," and is forced to make up lost time and miles on one of the deadliest roads on the planet. Lisa Kelly settles in with new partner G.W. Boles, doing whatever they can to deliver their load--local crops and the farmers that grew them--to market in time.

EP6 The Flattest Place on Earth Oct 30, 2011

Taking a break from the high-mountain passes, Lisa and G.W. take a load of live animals over the world's largest salt flat, where they'll have to rely on a faulty GPS and a bit of luck to find their way across one of the flattest places on Earth. Tim and Tino take on the death road, and Tim's out for a new, high-adrenaline experience, finding there's plenty of room to ride on the roof of the truck. Hugh's gone about just as far as he can, too, finally learning that you can't deliver your load any faster if you don't keep your truck on the road.

EP7 Oxygen Required Nov 06, 2011

All three trucking teams get a little entertainment in on the side when truckers Tim Zickuhr and G.W. Boles show what they've got in a Bolivian Cholita Wrestling ring. Back on the road, it's the team's last chance to prove they have what it takes to conquer the death road before moving on to Peru. Lisa again relegates G.W. to the spotter's role, still hesitant to let him take the wheel. As Tino and Tim climb higher and higher into the mountains, their emergency tank of oxygen comes in handy. Hugh struggles with the altitude and attitude trying to get his truck through tight squeezes and narrow roads. Finally, all the drivers meet up for dinner and recount their weeks on Bolivia's Death Road.

EP8 Desert Disaster Nov 13, 2011

The three teams of truckers leave Bolivia in their dust as they make tracks for Peru's deadly Andes Mountains passageways. Lisa Kelly finally hands the reins over to G.W. Boles, and he's ready to prove he's got what it takes on some of the worst roads on the planet. A road race between Hugh Rowland and the rookie team of Tim Zickuhr and Tino Rodriguez leaves both teams on the side of the road with mechanical failures, but while Hugh's able to find a quick fix, "T and T" are left stranded overnight in the desert.

EP9 The Hangover Nov 20, 2011

Lisa Kelly and G.W. take on the same road that almost sent G.W. over the edge the day before, but now, with Lisa behind the wheel and a heavier load, the same mountain's rigged with demolition dynamite and ready to explode. Hugh gets his old truck back and hauls a load of sheep through the dark Peruvian night, where sharp switchbacks and cliffs come out of nowhere. A rough day for Tino means partner Tim is forced to drive and maneuver on his own, and Tim learns how quickly he can go from "hero" to "zero."

EP10 Dead Man's Canyon Nov 27, 2011

Trucker Hugh Rowland takes on an old donkey trail with some dynamite during his nearly impossible climb into the Andes. The trucking team of Lisa Kelly and G.W. Boles drive head-first into "Dead Nun Canyon," praying their truck isn't too big for the miles and miles of hand-carved tunnels in front of them. Tim Zickuhr and Tino Rodriguez aim to take on the canyons as well... if their mishaps don't stop them cold again.

EP11 King of the Road Dec 04, 2011

The truckers tackle the Peruvian Andes with their most fragile loads yet. G.W. takes a turn behind the wheel as he and Lisa tackle "Dead Nun Canyon" with a load of dinosaurs too tall for the tiny tunnels. Rookies Tim and Tino challenge veteran Hugh Rowland for his self-proclaimed "King of the Road" title, and they're willing to trade words--and paint--to beat Hugh this time around.

EP12 Landslide! Dec 11, 2011

The rookie team of Tino Rodriguez and Tim Zickuhr haul barrels of gasoline over roads wired with dynamite, and Tim's ready to challenge local police to get the job done. Lisa and G.W. have to cross treacherous, decaying bridges to get to their destination, and hope the boards can hold their truck out of the raging rivers below. Hugh races the clock--transporting a truck full of perishable, frozen fish--and braves a dangerous, cliff-side short-cut.

EP13 Bull Run Dec 18, 2011

On their last runs in Peru, all three trucking teams are charged with delivering loads to a large, local festival, high into the Andes. Lisa and G.W. haul a load of bulls, some of which have G.W. running and diving out the bulls horns' reach. Veteran Hugh Rowland hauls a truck full of fireworks and firework towers, forcing his truck through fire and flames in the process. Tim and Tino also haul bulls, and Tim tests his speed in the ring against the dangerous animals.

Reviews

laurenthoutent My marks are for the fantastic views of India, the Himalayas and South America. They are NOT for the show. The show spoils the viewing. Why oh why do they have to make it so dramatic when it's so obvious that it's staged?The silly voice over about the truckers being miles from anywhere with no one around. We know jolly well there is a whole team with land and air vehicles, camera crews etc escorting them.Fake arguments, fake tempers, amateurish editing. Best example of bad editing is when Tino and Tim stick TNT on their container. The lorry starts and stalls,TNT is gone; 1/2 mile later TNT is back on. Why stage a lorry stalling?The most awful bit of obvious staging is Lisa taking the fuel drums to the rescue team. The truckers going on and on most unconvincingly about "these people need their fuel" and Lisa repeating it ever more unconvincingly ... Please guys, take acting lessons! Then we have a short footage of Lisa driving, footage of drums in a lorry, footage of arriving in a field. Hmm...As I stated, the scenery is wonderful but the bit about trucking is so obviously staged that it's superfluous. I won't mention the daft annoying CGI of trucks exploding, falling down cliffs etc.
tonopah6 I liked the ice road truckers season three, and some of season four - the India trucking was okay, too (being Deadliest Roads Season One): so I had high expectations for better entertainment with the deadliest roads series for season two, filmed in South America.But I was wrong.I was wrong not really because of the location, and the different towns and cities, nor the different culture: I was wrong because of the crew that the production used as drivers - in particular: the two bozo idiot rookies! Those two guys were imbeciles! And they had no right to be criticizing anybody on how a road is to be driven: as with the episode when they scolded a veteran driver on how he should drive after they themselves only drove the road once.And to top it off: Lisa Kelly: the semi-cutie female from Alaska, turned out to be a real conceded bitch. Lisa's head swelled even more than the rookies after she managed to get through the route. At first she was soooo scarred - then she became gods' greatest gift to trucking after a successful drive.Okay ... Bolivia and Peru were interesting; but give me the crew from Alaska to watch - or some guys worth liking: without anybody quitting after the second episode like Rick and Dave. But Hugh Rawlins was great.Was this program real, or did they become actors, using a script from writers: because it sure seemed like an insane asylum to have to put up with the attitudes of those truckers? I think that some of what goes on is scripted; including drivers quitting or getting fired in order to hype up somebody or a situation. I guess that had to be done, because of what they hauled; stupid things, like: ceramics, plaster dinosaurs, cases of beer (why can't a remote city make their own beer?), real live Llamas (why can't remote communities breed their own livestock?); and then they hauled some normal things, like: cement and metal pipes. BUT ... there are large helicopters that can carry a tank, so why can't it carry those pitiful loads that the trucks had? It would be a lot faster and safer.Well ... what the hell: the program was still better to watch then 90% of everything else on the tube. Maybe Lisa will try mooning on one of the episodes?
strider1960 This may contain a spoiler to an episode. My wife and I started seeing how unprofessional Hugh is in this last season of Ice Road Truckers when he and Rick Yemm teamed up driving their separate trucks in Canada. During the second to last episode in IRT Deadliest Roads when Hugh got into a race on the road with Team T&T (Tim & Tino, the new drivers) that caused damage to each trucks cargo just goes to prove that these three drivers have no right to call themselves, or be called, professional drivers. Professional truck drivers don't drive like children, cause damage to their cargo, and then just shrug their shoulders. I hope future employers of these three drivers see this show and wisely choose not to hire them as truck drivers.
lancedulak The cast from Ice Road truckers minus a few of the more annoying drive the worlds most dangerous roads. This series actually makes me miss trucking. The dangerous parts were actually the most fun parts. Unlike Ice road truckers in which the drivers in reality worked short (comparative to the average hard driving trucker) hours in situations that were made to look much more dangerous than they are. In this series you get the real thing with some very professional drivers. Note in the original show only Lisa and 2 other drivers were what any serious trucker would consider professional, and Hugh the least.The drivers take on roads that crumble as they drive. In trucks that wouldn't be allowed on the roads in the US or Western Europe. If you liked ice road truckers but want to see the real thing with actual professional drivers this is it.
