Real Ice Road Trucking

Hurry up and actually retire so you can write a dam book!^ lol

 

Retirement?-What's that!?-I sold my construction company in Alaska 3 years ago and about went crazy!-I'm driving winch/vac/hh in E. Montana-first time I've drawn an actual paycheck in years-loving every minute of it! It's like being a teenager all over again!
A couple of guys I grew up with were O/O's for KAPS-they had a yard about 30 miles from where I grew up in Ak. Prairie Boy-We probably know a lot of the same folks-I get up your way once in a while-I need to buy you a cup!

 

nate-I know you were referring to Prairie Boy-he's probably not going to retire anytime soon either!

 

It's beyond me how Carlisle can have such a bunch of idiots running around with their name on the doors.

I like watching IRT and my opinion is based on what i see on tv. You get to know the drivers and somehow you form an opinion as to their calibre and personality especially when you can relate as a driver yourself.
I like Alex, i like his nature and the fact that he takes everything in his stride and i especially like his laugh, bwahahaha!
Hugh and his sidekick are two of the worst drivers i've seen, they have no respect for the trucks and i think even less for people and i don't like Hugh's fake laugh.
Jack seems the most sensible of the lot.
I guess most of the real drivers are behind the scenes though.

 

I like watching it too, mostly for the scenery. I have to constantly bite my tongue as far as a lot of the action goes. Watching Alex get out of his truck, walk down on the river ice, and say, yup, feels pretty good to me. Safe to cross. Really? Anyway I wanted to ask prairie boy and wymon if you ever came across any of these guys: Jim Livingston, Tommy Marshall, Jack Braithwaite, or Jim Malone back in those days.

 

And what about Jim Livingston? I was at his 70th birthday get together, back in 02.. Far as I know, he's still alive.

 

Have you ever done this I want to do this next season
