Ice Road Truckers Season 5 Episode 9 part 2

8:05 Maya, you need to re-read the odometer young lady. It is at 132,860.8 miles. It's not even at a half a million yet. The last 8 is the tenths. I can only hope she was in the moment with the camera on her and that's why she misspoke?

@whiteribbonman1 Dude, that odometer has rapped around back to 0 , You really believe that truck only has 132 ,000 miles on it. Thats new for a truck and that truck is wore the fuck out. So yes, Maya is right , its over a million miles !!!

After MONTHS of sitting?! When did the boss make his decision and decide which tractor to assign to Maya, that morning?!! How does equipment make money for you if you don't keep it ready to run? The batteries should have been on trickle charge the entire time!

@whiteribbonman1 , Ok, you are not a truck driver or never have been a truck driver, Yea trucks sit out in the yard for weeks at a time, thats all over the country. Drivers come and go, Not sure if Maya was going to make it. You know how many cowboys go up there thinking they can do that shit and guess how many come back home about 90 percent .

@draculascoffin Please, do tell how YOU know the odometer had already "rapped around" back to all zeros to wind up at what it read when the camera showed what it was? I was going on what it read, not assumption! Your 2nd post, "Ok" nothing. . . . . .I was a driver for SWIFT, OTR, all 48 states. They keep their tractors in operational status. If a non owner-operator stayed on home time longer than 4 days they re-assigned the tractor. My father drove for Chevron and CF, my brother drives now.
