To Supply - USA - Prudhoe Bay Oilfields Relies on Durable Kenworth Trucks
FAIRBANKS, Alaska,USA -Layover -May 30, 2006: -- Delivering supplies and equipment to the Prudhoe Bay oilfields on Alaska's North Slope demands durable trucks and drivers to handle the rigors of the 414-mile Dalton Highway or "Haul Road", among the world's most treacherous stretches of highway... The demanding, mainly gravel road begins from Livengood, Alaska, follows the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and climbs more than 120 mountain grades and hills with 25 grades approaching or exceeding 18 percent. Temperatures along the route can fall to 50 or 60 degrees below zero. And forget about finding lots of facilities along the way. After the lone truck stop - in Coldfoot, Alaska - the next 250 miles is said to be North America's longest service-free section of highway... Carlile Transportation Systems and its drivers rely on Kenworth trucks to get their critical work done...
