Ice Road Truckers has been a real hit for the History channel and it is a very fun show to watch. What goes on off camera and the real stories of the drivers is even better. Hugh Rowland is kind of hard to define. On camera he comes across as kind of an arrogant SOB. In his book here he actually does have a human side yet he also does not take offense to those that consider him an arrogant SOB.The guys who live in these areas as well as work in them have to have a bit of crusty in them to survive it would seem. This book is a must read for fans of the show. Also not to be missed I will put in a plug for Alex Debogorski's book King Of The Road.
