My father-in-law drove that road for years up until recently. His big rig looked like a space ship. He'd pull that sucker in the shop in Fairbanks, turn on the oil heaters and sump pump and go home. He'd come to work the next day and service it after the hundreds of gallons of ice would melt off it. His HID lighting system was simply amazing. Yeah, he's a man's man. I have no idea how someone could drive thousands and thousands of miles in whiteout conditions for the years like he did.
