In this interesting documentary-come-reality-show, we follow the daily lives of the Carlile Transportation employees as they rush to move loads to the Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields, one of the slipperiest routes imaginable.

The situational humour is great, and the well-written dialogue, especially that of housekeeper (Miranda Hart), steals the show.
