How much money do they make?

Road Truckers Salary Revealed


If you were going to risk your life driving a truck on thin ice, what would your
salary have to be to make it worthwhile.


For the men who star in the History Channel's Ice Road Truckers, the answer is
simple: as much as $38,000 total salary for 8-10 weeks work. That is a
salary of $4,750 a week if they work 8 weeks total.


But here's the catch. The Ice Road Truckers don't all get paid that. Their salaries
vary from trucker to trucker, due in part to how big their loads are.


That salary of about $38,000 for the season is what the top guy is making
of the six of them. The salary for the lowest paid Ice Road Trucker is
about $2,500 for 8 weeks.


Would you risk your life trucking supplies across 350 miles of frozen lakes to Canada's
remote diamond mines for the salaries these Ice Road Truckers are making?
