Either they are truly idiots, Hugh & Rick or the producer/director has them running like that. If its not for TV, and I would lean towards that it is, no real driver would run off road terrain like that, Hugh bouncing off the headliner in the cab, and the hammering on the suspension. Last year the one owner was really angry with Hugh, because of the thousands of dollars of damage, any real driver knows the difference, I have a class A since before it was CDL, was Class 1 in NY.

Has to be for the show, new drivers, one from Montana, the other from South Carolina, and I'm not biased, but would Carlisle really be interested in people with no snow or ice experience, that roller coaster section of the haul road sure is not the place to learn, I've driven off road on pipe jobs, over log mats, also in snow storms, icy conditions, no way I'd want to fool with that haul road, has to be all for drama and the audience, ratings and so on.

The guy they fired last year, absolute jerk, he had the load count right up til the end, but the personality of sheer ignorance, if that was real, who would deal with it, I'd have fired him when the instructor was riding with him, on attitude alone.
