Ep 10. Rookie Rebellion

As the ice road season nears its end, tensions are high as the truckers face their biggest challenge yet – navigating the dangerous terrain of the Atigun Pass. But it's not just the treacherous roads causing problems for the drivers. In this episode, aptly titled "Rookie Rebellion," the veteran truckers are forced to deal with a group of young and inexperienced drivers who are causing chaos on the roads.

The episode begins with veteran trucker Hugh Rowland struggling to find his way through the dense fog that has descended on the road. As he edges his truck along the narrow icy path, he comes across a young driver who is stuck in a snowdrift. Hugh tries to help the rookie out but soon realizes that he's in over his head. The young driver is panicking and making the situation worse, so Hugh decides to take matters into his own hands and help him out himself.

Meanwhile, Alex Debogorski is feeling the strain of the season. He's exhausted and in need of some rest, but he knows that he can't afford to take a break yet. With just a few more trips to complete, Alex powers through, determined to get the job done. But when he encounters one of the young rookies on the road, he's frustrated by their inexperience and lack of knowledge. He's already had to rescue one driver who got himself stuck, and he doesn't want to have to do it again.

Back in the truck yard, the veteran drivers are discussing their frustrations with the rookies. Jack Jesse is particularly vocal about his concerns and feels that the young drivers aren't taking the job seriously enough. He worries that they're putting themselves and others in danger and thinks that they need to be reminded of the risks involved in driving on the ice roads.

As the day goes on, the tension between the veterans and the rookies grows. There are several near misses on the road, with the young drivers making mistakes and causing chaos. But the veterans are determined to get the job done and keep the roads safe, and they refuse to let the rookies get in their way.

In the end, it's a close call that brings the two groups together. One of the rookies crashes his truck, and it's only through the quick thinking of the veterans that he's not seriously injured. As they work together to get the truck back on the road, it becomes clear that everyone needs to work together to ensure that they all make it through the season safely.

The episode ends with a somber reminder of the dangers of the ice roads. As the veterans reflect on the close call, they offer advice and support to the rookies, reminding them to take the job seriously and never underestimate the risks involved. Despite their differences, they all share a common goal – to make it through the season in one piece. And as the season draws to a close, they're determined to do just that.
