Maybe there allready are.

I was just thinking the exact same thing ......lol.......... there was a time when our company trucks were hauling travel trailers and boats all over.
Then one jack@$$ cut off our vice president with his 5th wheel and ruins everything.
Memo went out the very next day ............ lol.

I've seen lots of nets being lifted and never saw a hole anywhere near that big or that square being used. I'd say that shape and size is from the front of the truck going threw. Better him than me anyways.

Story I heard was the front wheel fell through and when they tried to pull it out the front end broke through.

All joking aside thats really too bad. Gets in trouble?? doing the things he loves. Harsh reality. I notice the ice got softer and softer all weekend. Heavy snow coming up the auger instead of fluffy white pow by today and fished 3 dif lakes.

what a bummer. some employees are encouraged or even required to drive the co. truck at all times in case of an emergency or urgent service call. for all we know he might even be the owner of the co. looks like everyone should have got out saftley which is good.
it does look like a nice square piece of ice was cut out at some earlier date.

I doubt it....its the oilfield in northern alberta. Chances are the company didnt even blink an eye. If a customer that might spend 5 mil there wants to go fishing, these guys will accomadate. Thats how we roll.
My co-workers and i sunk a company (oilfield) truck yrs ago, a 2 month old dodge. Not including the recovery the truck damages came out to $ 27,000. When we broke the news to the boss...he asked if we changed our shorts before sitting in his office...then he laughed and nothing else was ever said...well other than the odd joke thrown our way...

Utik has got my number this year, worst fishing i have seen there in about 25 yrs. I dont think im the only one as anyone i talked with is having the same results. Last yr was probably my best yr, followed by my worst this yr.

Company trucks are a write off for the company so they don't really care that much. My welding truck is leased so I basically write the payment off on my taxes, that being said I would still be somewhat ****ed if it went through for the sheer inconvenience factor.

"Boss, I think the engine is flooded..." 
Indeed. Hope there's not too much damage.

LOL... A guy at work just showed me a picture of a front end loader that apparently went through the ice trying to rescue this guy. Can anyone verify this?
Hey I've got an idea, lets send out a Cat to rescue the loader! See if we can get a big "The old lady who swallowed a fly" kinda thing going on out there

You must mean this picture. The recovery mission has now involved a helicopter, nothing short of a $25,000.00 bill
