Is any training required to become an Ice Road Trucker?
A. Training is required before any freight company will allow you to drive off into the day or night across the ice roads. Experienced Driver’s: If you are a licensed commercial truck driver, regardless of which country you reside in, all that you need to do is to participate in a 1 week on-site ice road driving program sponsored by the freight companies in the Yellowknife Region. Then you’re ready for your first assignment. Inexperienced Driver’s: If you are an inexperienced, unlicensed truck driver then you will need to participate in a 1-2 month training program at a truck driving school in Canada. Please note that the hiring freight company will pay all fees associated at the school. A complete list of the Schools & Training programs are listed in the directory.
