new job prospect means bye fer now...

well well well
i have a decision to make........do i leave next week leaving my family behind to make a small fortune?
or stay home and slowly sink into the financial abyss til my summer job re-starts at end of april?

i guess there is little choice......
so on that note, i will be leaving likely by the end of this coming week for the new job....

driving road trains to the arctic circle on the ICE ROADS!!!!

being away will suck...but i CANT turn down this opportunity.......125,000 lbs or more rolling on 3 feet+ of frozen lakes and rivers!!!

sweeeetttt!!

this is one of my fantasy jobs ( yes, i'm a sick bugger)
the other two are the 400 ton dump trucks in the alberta oil sands
and road trains across australia.......
hmmmmmmm
my summer job goes april-november each year

heck, i could maybe do the other two in the next 2 years, and have one heck of a resume....AND payoff the house!!!




ps.......to our aussie friends.......anyone have any connections they could share to land a road train job?

Arctic circle huh? You might actually have to pull out the winter jacket for that.

Just think of the mods you can do to your SVX with the extra money!

thanks guys!!
ive been lookin at pics online (do a search for nuna logistics)
thats not my employer, but they actually build/maintain the roads...some wicked shots in there...

the roads are private and only trucks are allowed......and they are limited to (i think) 40 km/h 25 mph
the weight of the trucks deflects the ice below them and they drive in the trough of a continuous ice wave, so to go faster means the ice cant deflect quickly enuff and down you go...

but to look at the roads is to dream..........AWD.........230 hp..........smooth wide gentle bends.........what a WICKED svx ride that would be!!!!!!

i'm buyin a camera and will post pics as/when i can...

I saw a television special on what you're about to do. It's amazing stuff. Be safe and take lots of photos.
