[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 568638"] I almost went up to Alaska in the 1970's when they were building the pipeline. guys were coming back and boasting a $1000 a week!!! which was real good back then. I was making about $200 a week. I also heard that the cost of living was outrageous and eating up everyone's paycheck. Some guys did send home a lot of money to the wives though. Alex and Hugh are making about $1300 a load but I'm not sure if that is roundtrip as the backhaul is usually an empty. If so that is about the same as us. They can do a trip in 10 hrs or 16 hrs or more depending on conditions. I wouldn't go up there for the money but for the adventure and saying that i did it. I think it's a young man's game. those drivers that have been doing it for years look 10 years older than they really are. [/QUOTE]
