π WHATβS IT REALLY LIKE DRIVING A SEMI TO ALASKA? βοΈ
We sat down with one of our drivers who has been with the company for over 3 years and has driven to Alaska 15+ times!
Hereβs what he had to say:
π£ How often do you go?
Every other week
π₯Ά Hardest part?
The roads
π³ Craziest thing you've seen?
A semi sliding off a mountain
βοΈ Coldest experience?
Around -65Β°F in British Columbia. His engine locked up, and he started sliding down a mountain with no power
π¦ Wildlife?
Bison, moose, deer, elk, porcupines, foxes, bobcats⦠pretty much everything!
β±οΈ Chicago to Alaska?
Around 60β70 hours of driving
β½οΈ Fuel cost round trip?
Around $3,000β$4,000
And after 15+ trips, does Alaska still surprise him?
Every timeπ
π° Does Alaska pay enough to justify the risk?
βSometimes. Most of the timeβ
Would you take a load to Alaska? π
