TRUCKERS' ADVENTURES * Canada - Follow in the tracks of the ice road truckers
10,000 truck loads of suppliers to the diamond mines are hauled over the 2 month ice road seasonYellowknife,Northwest Territories,Canada -Easier (Chester,UK) -23 October 2007: -- ... From February, when the ice is thick enough to support the heavy loads until the end of March when the portages begin to melt, there is a truck averaging every 15 minutes... The speed of these heavy loads is carefully monitored as the weight on the ice causes a wave that moves with the speed of the vehicle. If it travels too fast the ice shatters and breaks and could cause a break through... True North Safaris vehicles are outfitted with satelite phones and two way radios so we can monitor and talk to the "Ice Road Truckers"... (Picture from www.easier.com - The Toyota Hilux Invincible )
