ICE ROAD TRUKERS' * USA - Surge in oil exploration boosts trucking on North Slope
Deadhorse,Alaska -The Alaska Journal of Commerce, by Rob Stapleton -April 3, 2008: -- A high demand for oil drilling pipe and steel, as well as the addition of seasonal ice roads have increased trucking activity to support oil exploration on Alaska's North Slope. Business has jumped so much, it's attracting outside trucking firms to the state... Ice roads across frigid expanses of the Beaufort Sea to locations west and east of Prudhoe Bay are full of vehicles headed to exploration sites and the camps that support the petroleum industry...
