I think I remember one guy on the show saying that a year's worth of wages can be made in about two months. That's pretty good incentive to head north, in my opinion.
Also, I think they said it's a thirteen hour drive from the yard to the mine furthest north, and it looked like they drove it in one sitting. Do they not have the same hours of service that we have?

Thats what they said,...1 years wages in 2 months.
I think that since the road is private (mines pay for the roads),.....maybe DOT has no jurasdiction, and they can drive whatever hours they like. Isn't the speed limit like 20 to 30 mph?? I would however make sure my truck was in tip top shape, and had a hell of a lot more lights that some of those trucks.
