Yikes! If after taxes..you only make 15,000-18,000 that much life threatening driving wouldn't be worth it. I don't know the tax laws up in the Yukon..
I thought it was like $50,000 or more-take home. Find out the tax laws...maybe, call up there to a trucking co and find out.
From what I gathered the income is around $25,000 a month-depending on loads-not that much for that kind of danger-and then after taxes..$58,000 for 3 months-if the ice road holds up.
;in the uk a driver on class one work that is 40 tons will get about £20 000 to £25 000 a year that is abot $50 000 so you lads are 4 times as much thats sounds good to us in the uk
@Yeshuamysavior1 Sorry man, I got a quetion for you and it's kindda personnal a bit, I'll ask it and feel free to answer to it. I am actually in class for my class 1 driver license(end in june +/-) and I'm aiming at these iced roads in the future. My question is about the pay. You sais 25 grand and over, was it with or without the taxes?? I won't aim at this goal being told you'd make 50 000 in 3 mouth and come back home ith only 15 000 or 18000 or 22000.Working for nothing, you see.
Good on you. Its a dangerous job but thats what makes it fun and exciting. Im applying to be a truckie aswell. But its good too see a girl giving it a go!!! :)
It's a methane time bomb waiting to happen. Northern Canada and Siberia are both turning into huge positive feedback loops for putting methane into the atmosphere.
ice fishing, we have thousands and thousands miles of privet trucker roads here for loggers, but public is allowed on em at their own risk, so anything happens its their fault no matter wut. no, i was just woundering.
noticed you had to pick up some speed off the ice to get up that little incline. I got one video posted here now, similar terrain. drivings the easy part? winter weather and trucks are my peeve!
You sad little character. At least, if you wish to insult people, try to learn the language first. You should, perhaps, take up a hobby like watching grass grow or paint dry as it clearly would suit your lack of intellect.
Why thankyou. A touch of education left me with the tools but the lack of will to use them.
It's funny, I tend to use the clutch in the low range now I am back on a standard, and because it is a Volvo the engine responds faster than the Cat so I double declutch more than I used to.
What a dumbass for suggesting this is fake. Like to see him get out there and chain up the driver axles and then thaw out a frozen truck. What a dumbass. Be safe out there man!
Always work on the safe side. Nobody else can do that for me. You forgot about the shovelling 3 tonnes of snow when you do end up in the rhubarb, or cutting trees to refill the ice bridges when they wash out!! lol!

I think that a dutch friend of mine is going to do them with me this winter. He arrived in Canada about the same time as I did.
The cold is not a big problem as a rule. I had a Kenworth T800 on the Winter Roads, but I am changing company now so don't know what I will have yet.
Have a great day.

you're too articulate for a truck driver.
are there any drivers who actually double clutch it on every shift? I only know of one (old) guy who does it, everyone else doesn't.
