Years ago one of my kids was up there building those roads.
Told me they were using 100 yard belly dumps...
Said first time he jumped in one it felt like you were going 100 at 20 mph..
Little bit of a learning curve on handling one..
I hit like 36 the other day and it was like I was NASCAR!
Contraction guys say it is a learning curve here, literally no hurry. Slow and steady and taper off from there. They literally have said if Dick made one turn a shift it'd be OK, just don't f'k anything up.
He told me they disassembled those big dumps and hauled them to Arizona to work the off season.
I wonder, there's some bigger roads made annually I could see them used on. The Colville Road apparently has like 6 lanes or some chit. We're all about getting the drill rig in and out.
They've been out here in seismic trucks and based on that, billions are being thrown at it to see what'll flow. I expect 5 years from now, this will be a major production area. F'ck OPEC. MAGA! Living out past the Gravel is tougher than other Slope gigs but not as bad as others.
We had a guy show up here, un diagnosed diabetic. Started to have issues and all strings were pulled to get him to Anchorage. He's alive. Unforgiving sob out here.
