Highway Thru ****
 

I am sure someone has posted on here before but Netflix has a great series (from 2012-2016) on a Canadian heavy rescue company Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue the series is called Highway Thru ****. It is a blast to watch and reminds me of the O'Hare Towing Service show on SPEED a few years back.

Worth checking out for anyone on this board.

It's been on cdn history channel for several yrs, pretty good to watch most of the time, but sadly as with many reality tv programs, drama gets to be a bit much in some episodes.

A new series currently being advertised that is starting in January is Heavy Rescue: 401; which will be some (or many) towing companies in Ontario.

They have a similar program in Norway as well. But all of these programs have one big issue; if you get to work, you could die... Seems be the theme with all shows related to big rigs; even the smallest task involves extreme danger. Hard to understand that there's somebody left in the trade at all ;)

Highway through he'll is pretty decent, but the drama gets REALLY old fast. I've only seen the 3 seasons on netflix, but it's worth a watch.

I really like the cg accident reconstruction they do to show how the wreck got there. Then the drivers and swampers start getting into the physics of what they're doing, helps erase some of that pointless drama.
Blah blah blah, jamies kid's worthless, this dudes old, that guy misses his family, this pos doesn't get along with that jerk...

Wonder what the next one will be same story line with the same drama and similar anamation, just like all the truck shows on tv
At least the wrecker ones are better to watch than the old Canadian house movers with the crappy anamation that was the same every episode.........
Or the one that had subbies in it tring to bet there deadline and penalties...

Its on Sunday arvos here after the motorsport, it's ok, more interested in the gear than anything. Doesnt seem as repetitive as IRT with the whiny old dude dressed as a 14yo rapper.

The best is Outback Truckers...
