Hi folks , I'm throwin this out to anyone who watches 'Ice Road Truckers' My question is , 'Do you think that the girl trucker who's somewhat gaff prone constantly playing the "I can do this cos I'm a girl" card, is mere eyecandy for the tv viewers or is she really up to the job ?

Is she actually driving the truck across the ice?

If yes, then she's doing the job, just like the men.

What's 'gaff prone'? confused

Well there was a spin off where she and 2 guys went to India and the 2 guys wouldnt do the last trip and she went up the mountain alone because the supplies were needed so yeah i think she showed determination there.

Hi Libra , well I'll answer gaff prone first , if someone's gaff prone then they tend to attract accidents to happen to them in goin about their daily life . And yes she does drive a bit , out of one disaster and into another . Thanks for tuning in .handshake

Welcome to the discussion GalwayGuy , if I'm to be honest I've not seen Ice Road lately , I was going by what I'd seen of her performance . Maybe just a run of bad luck for her .

Hi , yeah the money is said to be very good for the job they do , but I cant help but question her ability . I drive a truck myself and get a great buzz from it . I dont get it right all the time either but I try keepin that side to a minimum . Thanks for your comment Twinkle.

In the spin off, it shows a truch coming off a cliff and its flat bed trailer explodes when it hits the bottom. This only happens in Hollywood which leads me to believe that there's lots put in just to hold your interest. conversing

I love the show & couldn't believe it when Lisa was told she was ugly. She is as attractive as any Alaskan i have ever seen confused

Don't think she is there as eye candy though . Feel she is just a driver like all the others.
