ATCHISON TOPEKA driver Neil Hawker will be following in the foot steps of the Ice Road Truckers next February when he heads to Alaska to drive down the legendary Dalton Highway in a Carlile Transportation Systems’ truck.
Neil was the winner of a Truckfest competition that ran throughout this year’s show season and attracted thousands of entries. The lucky ticket was drawn on 11 September at Truckfest Original in Newark, and Hawker received the news while driving through Germany.
At first the Ice Road Truckers’ fan thought it was a joke, having never won anything before, but as soon as he realised it was genuine he accepted the trip over a substantial cash prize alternative.
His decision was met with a huge sigh of relief in the Commercial Motor office, not least because we will be accompanying him on his epic journey. Look out for our feature early next year.
