Ice road truckers
The season is over.Hugh top dog this season.36 loads at the pay of 58,000.Let me see 58,000 in 72 days.Is it worth it ?I dont think so.He travel est. 550 miles roundtrip.(36x550=19800 miles).Lets say 4 mpg would be around 4950 gallons of fuel.1 gallon equal 3.78litres which comes out to 18711 litres.Fuel price is 1.07 a litre total 20.020 dollars. 58,000-20020=37980 left.He drove 1300 miles to yellowknife.2600 miles which will bring him to another 2629 taken away. Let say he idle another grand plus other expeses he might of had came out with around 32,000 or so.Pay taxes,insurances which is probably throgh the roof,etc.Let say he walk away with about 25,000 is it worth it driving for over 14hours straight at a time.Not getting that much sleep,freezing temp,gone from home three months and the chance of losing your life for 25,000 hell no .You could make colse to that working a normal job without the big risk.
