leah takes off into the on no i think it's gonna be pretty good. i'm not really sure. we'll know when we get there. and that's what makes it so interesting for lee . so how does she feel excited? i like the challenge. hundreds of kilometers that had 11 to 12 hours of driving. mine is 30 degrees celsius solitude. darkness. lea loves the thrill of it all. she says, even though she knows truckers who have died, even though she almost died once herself, when a trucks laid towards her while she was putting on snow chains. when i looked up and there's a, his trailer was locked up and dragging in my ditch. coming right out of the it was like a wall of dumpsters on this. i was like,
12:33 pm
i don't know where i'm going to go to the start was no worry go. it was pretty scary. only at the last 2nd did the truck re gain control that's another reason why lia checks her load whenever there was space for her to pull over. the thing we checked her load. i had one of these come loose 2 vans and 2 pickup trucks. that's what she's hauling this time around. leah is traveling with ron. he works for her and is driving the 2nd truck. the do check the side already. got back to catch me. oh, okay cool. i put it in the top from here on it and it gets really lonely for the 2 of them. almost 130 kilometers, be on savings. alaska is 2nd largest city. the dalton highway begins. it is the only road that leads to the oil fields in the north highway. we sounds like
12:34 pm
a well maintained road is mostly gravel in summer and covered in ice and snow. and the winter here at the bridge over the yukon river is one of just 2 gas stations. on the 666 kilometer long road be appear to me of solitude next to the highway, the oil pipeline cuts its way through the landscape. the 2 are inextricably linked, the highlands like the live point, where the oil field, cars, gasoline, building, materials, food, everything the oil company workers need has to be transported across the, our much of it comes by truck over this one lonely road. if we don't get our loads there on time, then the oil field cut substantially shut down. there was little cellphone reception out here. so leah, ron and other truckers stay in contact via radio about the weather and road conditions that you never know there has to be an avalanche. you never know when
12:35 pm
the when's going to check out? i haven't seen a lot of trucks to that concert speed. so i'm thinking that something happened up the road, not really sure, but well find out. we arrive in cold foot, the only big town on the 666 kilometer root. big means $34.00 inhabitants to gas pumps, and the only hot food on the trip. omelettes, soup and fried food. leah has cellphone reception again and find out more about the road conditions. our friend was talking to my husband saying last night. it took him like a couple hours to get couple 100 feet guys, so that heal up there can make your break. and the thing once you get started, there's no place to go. but there's danger of an avalanche at the past, whether it will stay open is unclear. that's too hazardous for the
12:36 pm
rest of your safety issue, calling you today in the day. it's 0 degrees fahrenheit just under minus 18 degrees celsius. via protects the engine woods tops and makes yourself comfortable behind the driver's seat. her trunk is her home and sleeping and it overnight is free. the trucker doesn't get cold. the heating runs all night. the next morning she calls her husband before she loses reception again. she wants to tell him that he needs to take out the garbage . he's worried about the road conditions. you know, that leaves, husband is also a trucker and understands the challenge that the face of is on the mountain task,
12:37 pm
where there is no going back or waiting periods. we drive as soon as he passes us, everything goes well in the past. despite the danger, leon loves her job and truckers are on well. she said she pays our employees about $165000.00 a year. that's well above the us average. she found it's a trucking company together with their husband trucking and he'll stay on with the kids. then they'll go trucking and i'll stay on with the kids. so we kind of take turn then they make it out of the wilderness and our bank, among other people. we are not allowed to be there for the unloading. the oil fields are sealed off. there's not much in the village apart from container hotels for the oil workers and all that's needed for oil production via and ron, want to leave quickly it
12:38 pm
will be a while before that happens. the return journey takes a day and a half this time. after that, lea a has a day off and run already has his next trip lined up of the around $43000000.00 people worldwide up lines which poses huge challenges for everyday life. and what do you do if you've lost the ocean, but can only feel and hear it and don't see how about plunging it? but i mean for me sir, thing is everything. although it's, it's piece, it's freedom. it's sitting in the
