collectorofsorts Review of Shipping Wars

Shipping Wars (2012– )

Season 1-5 were Awesome! 6-8 were Okay. The Reboot? Grrr...

[5/10 · 1 December 2021]

Loved the original series with Roy! Sadly, the series went downhill after his death until it was cancelled after season 8. Then we have the reboot that just started. I was surprised that they didn't even bring back one of the original cast members. But, that's okay. They may have all moved on. I've watched 6 episodes of the reboot so far and it's not promising. Most of the drivers are rude, crude or poorly equipped. Driver Notes: The young white girl (not good at remembering names) is terribly annoying. She acts like a fool and then comments that someone doesn't trust her doing the job because she's a woman. No, they don't trust her because she's talking and acting like an idiot. Showing up on the job like Sally Sorority. Toting her little puffball dog and telling the customer "let's get this done yo". The younger white couple argue constantly. Even in front of the customers. And, they show up with a flatbed trailer after taking loads that require enclosed trailers. And the middle-aged black couple are just rude to customers and inept at securing their loads. The older white guy and the older black lady are the only 2 real drivers on the show.
