Naw...
When that ice cracks, if you're not a moron you've got plenty of time to get out. Especially a truck cab which is- what?-four or five feet above the ice? Sure, people can die of hypothermia in a cab stuck in a snowbank, but that's not really what they are selling.
The producers paint of picture of trucks plummeting through the ice in a second, with screaming truckers trapped inside. That just doesn't happen. And no one dies within seconds- even if they are underwater. In fact, even if their heart stops beating, the cold protects them and they can be revived even fifteen or twenty minutes after the "death".
