Season 4
Season 4 of Ice Road Truckers premiered on June 6, 2010 and returned to the Dalton Highway in Alaska. In addition to the destinations from season 3 (Fairbanks, Alaska, Coldfoot, Alaska, Deadhorse, Alaska, oilfields of Prudhoe Bay), the destinations of Bettles, Alaska and Nuiqsut, Alaska are added which can only be reached by driving over frozen rivers and swamps.
Drivers
Alex, Hugh, Jack, and Lisa continue driving the Dalton Highway in this season, and Carey appears in two episodes to help the other truckers bring exceptionally heavy loads up from Anchorage. Two new truckers are also featured.
Greg Boadwine: At 27, Greg is starting his second season with Carlile, after his first one ended early due to overturning his truck. He is grateful that his employers have given him another chance; at the same time, he feels that he has a long way to go in order to regain their full trust.
Ray Veilleux: Ray, 44, ran his own construction business in Kalispell, Montana until it failed as a result of the U.S. housing industry crash. He signed on with Carlile and has worked his way up from freight yard duty to making ice road runs.
Route and destinations
- Dalton Highway: The truckers make stops at Fairbanks, Coldfoot, and Deadhorse as in Season 3, as well as the following destinations:

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
