      "Ice Road Truckers" Season 3: Alaska

      Hey everyone, just letting you know I work for a trucking company here in Fairbanks, Alaska and recently we had a History Channel film crew with us for about 10 weeks. The company I work for Carlile Transprtation will be the fore-running stars of the new season of Ice Road Truckers closely followed by 2 of the veteran truckers Hugh and Alex from the previous 2 seasons which were filmed in Canada. The new season airs next sunday May 31st at 9pm/8C. Check it out, it's gonna be action packed...a few things you can expect that haven't been released yet will be the camera crews rig getting wrecked and a few emergency air-evac rescues on the haul-road. You can see a sneak peek and watch driver interviews at http://www.history.com/video.do?name=iceroadtruckers. And, watch for the guy pissing off the back of a Volvo front-end loader lol, that's me! lol

      How does that type of work pay?

      Is it difficult to get this type of work?

      my dad did that in sybiria in the early 90's, and back in russia the roads and truck are not what they are here.
      Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, rather than drive a fast car slow!

      Well, let me put it this way I'm just an operator and I'm 20 years old and I own my own home and still have room for my collection of project cars lol. Most the money I make is in O/T, but my regualar pay right now is 23/hour. I think I'm due for another raise in like 3 months though. It's pretty good, it's just hard work...no time for a personal life. In the summer I'm working between 80 and 90 hours a week and in the winter I work about 60-65 hours a week in temps down to -60*F. I love what I do though, I'm in charge of building every load out of the Fairbanks terminal, so we go to Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse, Valdez, Anchorage, Seattle, and Edmonton, AB. My company's the best at what we do and we're the largest outfit in Alaska. we also have terminals in Minnesota, Federal Way, and Houston.
