Alaska

No, but communist Canada which you drive through won't let you enter..... kinda takes Alaska off the table then. Unless you have an amphibious truck

 

Hopefully there'll be a change of government soon enough and that covid shot BS will disappear. Sounds like Mr. Poilivere is winning a ton of popularity with the under 30 crowd.

 

Looks like they got the best truck to use for those trips.

 

You have to be vaccinated to get into Canada .

 

Walmart started the Alaska runs around 2008 with 3 Owner-Operator specs straight hood Internationals. The trucks looked really sweet when they were new, with lots of chrome, but were beat to hell within a year. Then they started using some of the old company team tractors, but those really fell apart fast, forcing Bentonville to order up those special-built Kenworths. At first, Walmart had no trouble filling seats, but after the first month, several drivers couldn't bail out fast enough! The major complaints were the drivers had a very hard time sleeping, the weather, and having to deal with Customs 4 times per trip. The whole purpose was to get perishable groceries up to Alaska fast, as the general store freight came up to Anchorage on a barge. Everyone I knew really didn't like it, because management tried to push them too much. I'm guessing they're hoping some new hires will take up the challenge.

 

What's so special about those KW's?

 

Good smooth ride,good heater,good gears and hp

 

The first one had a really huge sleeper, a full moose bumper, and a full Arctic Package. Don't know about the others.
