    These carriers are not always doing things right, safe and lawful!

    Watching episode today and just for the record the husband wife team transporting the three little compartments possibly for A sky lift of sorts. The husband states that having only one ten thousand lb strap is enough to hold each of the units. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but but the FMCSA requires no less than two straps or chains per piece. This is required just in case one breaks there will be a second strap to keep from losing load.

    Its this kind of irresponsible broadcasting that can literally get people killed and property damaged.

    So when watching these episodes be vigilant and don't fall victim to the I saw them do it on tv syndrone ! That will carry little weight in a wrongful death lawsuit.!

    Two things that killed the show.....

    Roy's death and Rusty's breath.

    Episodes with Roy Garber are awesome, after that it's pretty much more of the same. And adding more neophytes with less than average experience is a repetitive. One Jared is enough!

    Annoyingly Addictive

    Much like "Storage Wars" or "Storage Hunters", i did not want to watch this, yet - it's good. However, Shipping Wars outshines both these shows, as the setting, items and journeys are different every single time. Roy is by far the star of this show, with Jarrett providing some look through your fingers viewing. I did not expect to enjoy this at all, however the downright fun of it, and the constant remarks from Roy such as "perfect, just like me" make it fantastic viewing. The one let down to the series is Chris and Robbie, whom do not posses the "entertainment factor" unlike Roy, Mark, Jarrett and Jennifer who always manage to come out with snide comments, hilarious one liners and always produce a wonderful show. As I said before, Roy is by far the star of this show, and sometimes overwhelms everyone - however, this is a good thing. Once you start watching, you wont want to see anyone else.

    Shipping Wars is well worth a watch, and will leave you rooting for Roy and his one liners, and leaving you a bit starstruck with the idiocy of Jarrett.

    A real, true, gritty 10 out of 10 show.

    Does not make sense, but Entertaining

    At the end of one episode, one driver finished in San Francisco, another driver in Phoenix, one in Dallas TX, one in Charlotte NC.

    The next morning they bid for new shipments. One of the shipments was scheduled to be hauled from Austin TX to Fresno CA. Now here is what puzzles me: The drivers sitting in San Francisco and Charlotte have to drive thousands of miles just to pick up the shipment in Austin TX, while the driver sitting in Dallas, can be there within a few hours. Would that not influence their bidding? It's 1800 Miles from San Francisco to Austin. Does that cost not have to be factored into the bid? I guess not, because all drivers act as if they are sitting in Austin, yet we know they are not.

    Makes the show appear to be fake, yet I believe the loading/unloading/driving is real. Still very entertaining, just not realistic.
