Who do i call about driving the ice roads ?

I don't have any trouble with Lookout or any mountain pass in any weather condition but put a newbie on there who thinks Donner is hard then what do you think we have.

This winter wasn't bad on I90 but last winter MT DOT pretty much decided we could make our own way. It was a blessing in disguise but we had ruts on Lookout and a non experience driver would have been in trouble.

Those are the same drivers that when a high wind warning on I80 across WY think with their 30,000 lbs they have enough to cross. Uh nope....

 

Oh, I absolutely agree with ya. I was just bragging a bit, I guess. I live just down the road from Lookout and Fourth of July and, to me, after crossing them so many times, those are almost, to coin a phrase, beginner passes to some. Still the rule still stands; You can come off a hill too slow as often as you like, but you'll only come down too fast just once.
Teton, Monarch, Stevens, Wolf Creek, and a bunch of others make going over Lookout seem like crossing the state of Iowa. Hauling cyanide to the mines in the Northern US an Canada exposed me to some pretty healthy experiences.

 

I have relatives in Alberta who occasionaly drive on the ice roads, they tell me ever since that stupid tv show there had been a flood of people who want to try it because they think it is such a big thrill. My cousin once told me years ago that a lot of guys don't last, they couldn't take the constant cracking of the ice.

If you did go, you better hope that it is a good year for it, about 4 or 5 years ago the guys were sitting around most of the time and didn't make any money because it was a bad year for the ice.

Anyway, if i feel the need to drive on ice, we have some ice roads here where I live, going over the river,when the ferries stop running when the ice comes they build ice roads to drive across, and I don't need to leave my hometown to do it.

 

Does anyone know who to talk to about getting a job hauling that stuff up to the north slope like they are doing on Ice Road Trucking show? Besides Carlisle.

 

Try calling the dang show up and asking them. You wont catch me driving those roads. Me and ice cold water don't get along too well.

 

1) Go to a search engine, such as Google
2) Type in "Trucking jobs in Alaska" or "Ice road tucking jobs"
3) Follow the links
4) ?????????
5) PROFIT!

 

If you can't spell Alaska you should stay in the states to the south

 

Hey knock it off

 

Haha, did he hit a nerve?
