    I am wondering if somebody who had this kind of experience could tell me what are the pros and cons, the real dangers and also the benefits of ice road trucking.
    And just to be clear, I am NOT talking about that TV SHOW I've heard people talking about. Never seen it.
    I am very new in this buisness, I started just a month ago with my husband, and I am not planning on starting some wreckless adventure any time soon. I am aware that it takes years of experience, but I am curious to find out what people think. I know it must be worth it, since there are truckers that do it constantly.
    Thank you.

    Im not sure what info your looking for...but they are real jobs you need experience to get the jobs and usually if u know someone that does it you can get in. Like Sean (Eskimo Sean on youtube) did one years and the next year he was able to get Todd (newfiguy89) a job up there. It not nearly as dangerous as they make it out to be on tv. Royalhighlander from YT is on here he dose the ice roads im sure he can be more helpfull
