·This old truck is still running up and down the road.It helps make my pay cheque every month. I use it for hauling equipment. As hot and dry as it is up here, it will likely spend most of the summer on fire watch. Hauls a D6 cat with ease, as old as it is.

·This old truck does vehicle recoveries as well.These young truckers get quite upset when you go out and load up their fancy new truck on a trailer and haul it to the repair shop.

·"Ice Road Truckers" hmmjohndeerefan said:
The only real ice road trucker I have seen on that show is Alex. The rest are just a bunch of want to be truckers. Been out on the ice north of Inuvik a time or two and it isn't what they portray it to be.Dangerous, yes but it is hyped up for TV. Licence To Drill gives a more honest and accurate picture of how it is moving stuff on the ice. This only my opinion of course. When winter sets in here again and we head out into the frozen swamp, I will try and get some pictures of what we do in northern Alberta. I would venture to guess that you will think we all belong in a mental hospital.

·The old truck quit on me the other day. Turns out it was the fuel pump. $700 plus tax and a trip to Edmonton, two hours work and it is up and running again.

Masseymechanic, what do you call the trailer set-up behind your great looking KW? Here in Oz, we call these "B-doubles". Also often set up as "B-triples" hauling bulk goods, general freight or cattle and used on our road train routes. At a previous work site, we run a fleet of KWs powered by Cat C15s hauling "B-quads" or four belly dump trailers. Often, with the use of a dolly, these are connected behind a conventional semi trailer and called "A-B doubles". If anyone wants some photos, I will post them when I get a chance to do so.

·Took the old truck on the longest of journeys so far.Went from Whitecourt AB to Wrigley NT, which is the end of the road up there. Made the whole almost 2000 mile journey without so much as the littlest of problems.
