The HISTORY channel will be premiering the Barriere-based Backroad Truckers Season Two on June 23 with back to back episodes one and two starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Big Donny Kleinfelder’s Barriere Auto & Truck Tow and hotshotting business runs with a colourful crew of characters out of Barriere, B.C.
“Big Donny”, as he’s known to the locals, is literally larger than life, and so is his business. Years ago, he bought the old highway maintenance yard in the middle of Barriere, BC to run his empire of hotshotting, towing, and recovery, as well as house his massive fleet of trucks and specialized equipment. Not much moves in the area without his knowledge and he’s nothing short of ruthless when it comes to scooping all the best jobs. He’s also extremely competitive when it comes to accidents and recoveries and prides his team’s reputation for getting to the job first.
On the side, Big Donny loves adding to his collection of old vehicles, vintage equipment, and antique treasures. It drives his wife and son crazy watching him hand out wads of cash and overstuff his yard, but for a tycoon like Big Donny, you never know when that treasure might come in handy.
As a hint of the antics to come, Kleinfelder hosted an impromptu Father’s Day Crush with some monster trucks in Barriere on Sunday June 16 just ahead of the season premiere of Backroad Truckers Season Two. The event was a ‘by Donny invitation only’ on Dad’s Day as visiting monster trucks climbed over and crushed on a pile of scrap cars in his tow yard in Barriere.
“The kids that were there thought it was pretty awesome watching the monster truck crush some cars and it was good to see everyone having fun,” said Kleinfelder.
Don’t miss the double episode season premier of Backroad Truckers on the History channel this Sunday, June 23 at 9 p.m.
