Attention Truckers going to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

So, a driver that gets his/her CDL this November should book their first load to Prudhoe? Swift and CRE will surely give them the required experience.

 

I thought the Haul road was closed to the public?
When I was in Alaska back in the late 70’s it was considered a private road and and only the oil company trucks and their contractors could use it.

 

This I40, it got 2 bad places?

 

Memphis I-40 isn't particularly grand, either.

 

Looks a lot better than a bunch of the lease roads I've traveled. But I can't imagine driving on something like that for 500 miles straight.

 

I'm running Fairbanks to Tok 6 days a week.Ive seen a lot more trucks than normal on the highway.There were a lot a military loads last month.There is a lot of work going on at Prudhoe.
Drivers have said the Haul Road was a mess earlier in the spring,a lot of unprepared drivers.
I see mostly flatbeds and step decks hauling up that way.
I've seen a lot of Landstar trucks but mainly seems to be smaller owner op companies.Lynden has a bunch of O/O drivers hauling for them now.They're probably paying the best.
I saw a tarped stepdeck sitting at Fast Eddys in Tok for the last week,tractor must have broke down and got towed off for repairs.

 

Some of the secondary highways around here are about on par with that.

 

Should Loves open their Fuel stop at the top of Atigun Pass or at the bottom?

 

Coldfoot is at the bottom.Probably a better view from the top.
