I drive in Alaska. I am local and make 26 and the Ice Road Guys make about 50-70 a year. Far from dangerous by the way.

70K in Alaska is very low in my opinion, I make same mistake everywhere on everything in America. You will never learn how much you can make until you make it yourself. So I will never know how much can be made unless I go to alaska and my first week paycheck arrives
-
Thats not very low here actually. 70k is decent. Big money is on the Slope for over 100k

I know several guys hauling fuel from Fairbanks to the Slope and out to the pads that gross $7k a month. They are company drivers, and run that route all year. Just to bad the company laid off half of its drivers 6 months ago.

Off topic a little but are there a lot of loads that move up to AK like to Fairbanks from down in the lower 48?
-
rank Thanks this.

It's called supply and demand. They could not find drivers to haul up there then. Now they have every idiot knocking on their door wanting a job. They can pay a lot less now thanks to the show.

The Diavik diamond mine on East Island in Lac de Gras in Canada is served by an ice road. It's operated by mining giant Rio Tinto. I imagine the pay there is pretty good. Anyone have any info on that?
