UPDATE: Truck Recovered from Frozen Lake of the Woods with Driver Unharmed
im sorry but why the hell do they need fricking rocks on flag island? i have been there…..dont really recall there being a huge market or need for rocks?! seems extremely senseless to me. i hope the government didnt incur any of those costs..ugh some ppls kids
Bad bad day at the office
They use rock for shoreline erosion.
what dumb ass thinks he is ICE ROAD TRUCKER just like the tv show
What a deal. How scary for the driver! I bet he had to change his underwear!
God Bless all the Trucker’s!!😇
Need rock for erosion control in an area that’s nothing but rock 🤣
Boss should have had his driver haul minimal load. I forget about that mighty dollar. Hurry up and get the job done. Hope that boss is eating the bill and not the driver. Hope that you are doing well driver. 🙏👍✌
And what do you do for a living Delbert? Well, I hauls real heavy double trailer loads of heavy rock across kinda thin ice up here in Minnesota, hoping to not hear any loud cracking sounds.
Only a complete moron would even THINK of driving a semi full of rocks across a frozen lake. I'm betting he's one of them Q-Tip Trumpettes
Lot of weight but happy everybody is okay.
some of you peoples comments are just stupid and rude if you don't work in that kind of industry you should just be quite.
I'm glad everyone is okay. I'm glad they got the truck out too. Ice Road Trucking is a very dangerous occupation. My hat is off to the men and women who make a living doing this.
Why on earth would you do that this winter , this has been the warmest and least snow winter in Minnesota that I can remember. We had 7-8 days in a row of solid below zero weather that's about it .
They got it out by refilling all the tires with helium, and used a tether to guide it to shore.
Did he bring his life jacket
Glad all went well
God bless him
That's what happens when you salt the ice
Thank God
Why* aren’t helicopters or planes used to deliver supplies instead of traveling over ice?
I admit it…code brown !
How did they get it out?
Makes you wonder why do people act like they hate truckers? Since corona its lessened at least.
