Mr, Polar Bear (Hugh)
I am 63 years young, 6 ft 225. In a past portion of my life, 30 years as a master automotive tech, 5 years as yacht capt. with 3 transatlantic voyages, encountered hurricane mid ocean. Experience necessary to safely handle that situation, with a crew of ten, was successful, and exciting.
I am not applying because of tv. I could care less about that. Your experience is my draw. I am up for the challenges, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I realize their is danger, one of the draws, excitement of completion of successful season the other. Of cource a good pay check is a factor. The level of competion is a good mototivator.
I have an excellent work habit developed over many years, if the job is worth doing it is worth doing right.
You may be looking for the over the top personality, I am not it. My age, and life experiance warrant a grounded approch to jobs and life in general.
I have just gotten my Class A cdl with hazmat, and this would be my first job. A credit to that position is, I would bring no bad habbits to the profession that would have to be over come before becomming a dependable, safe, and product asset.
I would appreciate serious consideration for this position, and will respect you input.
Yes there is danger, falling thru the ice, not a bad way to go. God has a plan, if its is my way to depart this life, it is what it is. Translantic voyages are dangerous as well, more people die at sea yearly than on the ice road, I’ll take those odds.
Hope to hear from you, as you must get reames of e-mail like this. I hope you see something in this general synopsis, that will grasp you attention and give it a shot.
Respectfully,
Pat Harris
Mountain Rest, SC 29664
Mr. Harris, Did you get any response from Hugh or have you recived any response from anybody? Like you I have a very strong back round. I am buying a 2007 pete 378 and would love the adventure up north. Dave Hayden Las Vegas Nevada
I have been a local driver in Michigan for years now. All i run is Michigan Specials. My average load is 100 ton on the deck. I run B-train, Rolloff, and Crushed Car Haulers with up to 11 axles. One load I have hauled was 406,000 lbs with a 4 piece 15 axle lowboy. So i am used to odd loads and Ice and snow. I even have about 6 weeks OTR experience also… lol
I called the Nuna Logistics number and left a message for them to call back. I would really love running the ice road. My truck is a 2000 Volvo 610 with a Redhead Cummins running 525 HP. Heated tanks and fuel system. I did my own overhaul on the motor and trans a year ago. I belive it would handle -60 F temp with no problems and not break down.
Hello, my name is Andy, I live in New Jersey, and one of my dreams is to be side by side with the polar bear, he is one of the reasons I became a truck driver, he is my real life hero, I hope I get to meet with him some day…
I’m sure they get a lot of applications, especially with the success of the TV show. Just keep trying . . .
