Big Time Decent Productions announces the second season of Backroad Truckers has been greenlit by Corus Entertainment to air on The HISTORY Channel® across Canada

Matt Shewchuk, President & Executive Producer of Big Time Decent Productions is pleased to announce that the second season of Backroad Truckers has been greenlit by Corus Entertainment to air on The HISTORY Channel® across Canada in 2023. The popular TV series was also recently sold to the American subscription streaming service Hulu.
Backroad Truckers is a docu-series about a special breed of blue-collar drivers who do whatever it takes to make a buck with their 4x4s on tough northern backroads. That means salvaging machinery from the woods, rescuing stranded drivers, and “hotshotting” vital cargo to remote businesses in impossible locations.
There are a number of exciting projects in development for Big Time Decent Productions, including Rust Valley Restorers which was just picked up for its fifth season, as well as a ramp up of the company’s social media division with two original podcasts in production. The podcasts include a veterinary series called The Pawcast with Dr. Lauren and a collectible series called The Collectors Cast.
In addition, Big Time Decent has helped spin Backroad Truckers breakout star, Dale Kristensen, into a viral hit on TikTok with plans of launching a standalone YouTube channel.
Big Time Decent is also thrilled to be partnering with producer Rob Vroom of Vroom Productions to launch a new Montréal-based post-production facility called QC Post Media.
Last year, Big Time Decent expanded its support of local storytellers by providing $30,000 in post-production services to emerging Canadian filmmakers at the 2021 Whistler Film Festival with plans to do so again for the 2022 edition.
