Running produce to Alaska

I usually go out and clear a lot of it off, but the rest will come of when coming South. I spent about 40 minutes after taking those pictures to get a lot of it cleared out. Just have to be careful since things get bridle when it is cold.

 

Isn't that the truth. I was showing about 25psi of boost when I was driving on level ground the other day on the Cassiar by Jade City when they hadn't plowed and I kept pushing snow with my bumper.

 

Canada is pretty good about posting signs with the local radio stations for the AM and FM channels, but not a lot of coverage. Satellite radio sucks and seems to work better when heading South. I have some CDs, a 32gb flash drive with music and the Satellite radio to choose from. I have started to listen to some pod casts as well. I do have a Satellite phone and a lot of times I cannot get a signal either. I bought a car install kit with a marine style antenna for the satellite phone and hope it will work better or at least I wont have to stand outside.

 

If you want a real challenge you need to get some LCV training and start pulling the doubles in Alaska. A friend of mine does that and his motto is just turn wide and never look back. Two 53' trailers make for one hell of a wiggle wagon. You get some nicely speced trucks with a C16 Cat and 800hp to the wheels. Chaining is a lot of fun too. Four sets of three railers with ice cleets, two singles for the last trailer axle and a cable chain for the passenger steer tire.
