Hauling fuel on the Ice Roads out of Hay River in the Northwest Territories. Short window of work till the ice isn't good enough. So you run like hell, 22 hours a day usually, make tons of money and take a couple weeks off when you get home.
It's a boring job, you are very limited on your speed. Watch movies while you drive. Worst that'll happen is you'll run into a snow bank. Guys even tie up the steering wheel and make food/housekeeping in the truck, etc. Course theres always that chance of falling though the ice. :P
