Most frequently these trucking companies are serving the needs of the people who are living in northern Canada, that is to say the indigenous people.
Thereupon, ice road trucking is one of the most difficult ways of truck transportation. Ice roads are in fact built on frozen waterways, and frozen waterways are not that safe.
The safety of ice roads is decreasing straight proportionally with the melting of the ice. The rapidly changing conditions are melting the snow sooner, and that makes it hard to maintain.
So, to get to the point. There are people and companies that are in need of goods that have to be transported via ice roads. Thereupon, ice road transportation sometimes is the best option, and sometimes is the only option.
Henceforth, ice road truckers as I mentioned before are mainly serving their customers who are in need of some goods, and don’t have the ways and the means to get them.
