Real Ice Road Truckers
Good Day!
If you'd like to read about a real ice road trucker, get a copy of Denison's Ice Road (by Edith Iglauer, ISBN 0-525-09006-1). I think he pioneered the concept of using road tractor-trailers to haul where previously they'd used crawler-tractor-pulled trains. These would make a very few mph; once the road was ready (after Christmas), they could haul much faster & cheaper with tractor-trailers. I'll tell 'ya, folks were tough back then.
Blessings!
