Ice road rides are long, lonely and dangerous and as result of that more than half of ice road truck drivers are quitting this career after the first trip. Can you imagine be in the middle of a frozen lake without phone reception and with limited survival sources?
Not everybody can bear the pressure of the job. We are humans and even the toughest will admit that from time to time they are shaken off from the thought that there is ice under the truck that can lose the stability any moment. This job does not depend on only from the truck driver ability to drive safely but also from the weather conditions.
There is not 100% security that the truck will arrive safely on the other side of the lake. That is what makes the ice road truckers salary higher than any other trucker salary.
