ice road trucker

Arctic highway hauler

An ice road trucker is a commercial driver who transports heavy cargo across frozen lakes and rivers, typically in arctic or subarctic regions during winter months.

The work is dangerous—trucks can break through weakening ice—and requires specialized skills for navigating remote, temporary routes: Ice road truckers haul supplies to mining operations in northern Canada.
