Talk about the questions. 1 Would you like to do Lisa Kelly’s job? Why / Why not? 2 What other dangerous jobs do you know?
We see truckers driving on the roads every day, but ice road truckers are different. They drive trucks in the north of Canada. But they don’t drive on roads because there are no roads in the north, just lakes and rivers. In winter, the water freezes and the trucks go on the ice. Then the truckers take food to the towns in the north. LISA KELLY Lisa Kelly drives a big truck on the ice. It’s a long journey of 600 kilometres and she doesn’t stop for hours. It’s not easy, but the good thing is Lisa doesn’t drive in the summer because there’s no ice. She makes all her money in the winter so she doesn’t work at all in the summer – she has a long holiday.
A DANGEROUS JOB The weather is bad and ice road truckers have a lot of accidents. Kyle Gulkowski, also an ice road trucker, talks about how he does this dangerous job. ‘I drive with one hand on the door handle. Sometimes the ice breaks, you see. Then I get out quickly before my truck goes into the water! I lose the truck, but not my life!’
Lisa and
the other drivers are in Ice Road Truckers on Wednesday at 7:30.
