Well hello to all of you truck drivers. My question is. Do i have what it takes to be an iceroad trucker? I have been driving a truck scence 1990 and I would like to complett my choice of being an ultimate ice road trucker. I realize it is a very diffuclt and dangerous task. But I am willing on taking my chances safely and courteously. I see on television the dangers on the ice but the actual reality has not yet set in till i get there. Hope to see you there.Be Safe out ther.

I really want to be an ice road trucker when I’m older. It’s not actually something I said just because of the show; I really do want to be one. I’m researching Canada’s universities so I can get my Canadian citizenship (it says on the Tli Cho Landtran site that ANYONE has to be a Canadian citizen to get a job of any sorts up there).

I just want to say that you don’t need 10 years of experience. Cody Meseros has been trucking since he was 19, and he was 20 when he went on the ice road in season 1. TJ was 21 and he hasn’t been trucking since he was 11. So you can go to the ice road with as little as 6 months experience (I think that would be a safe margin rather than no or practically no experience).

Sorry about having to prove you wrong Jordan :D. I didn’t think I would have to lol!

I like a girl asking for trucking. Here in Norway there are more and more girls taking a drivers lisence. I like it.
My ex wife’s first experiens was a truck with timber. and 22 meters long…….she fixed it pretty well
I think every girl can do this, if they want to….
It takes som time to learn, but it’s the same for men and women..

good luck

Long boring hours working in a very cold climate. Few can handle the work but for those that can it’s rewarding.

First you would need a Canadian work visa, Then a job. I would suggest looking at the fuel haulers to the diamond mines.

A work permit is required. Plus about 10 yrs experience working in Northern Canada. Try the fuel haulers that supply the Diamond mines out of Edmonton, Alberta.
