The Alcan Highway is the road where trucks grow old before their time. The road where gravel end lessly sledgehammers the life out of trucks.

Running around the clock, they made this tortuous trip—normally a 72-hour run-in less than 45 hours. As a special test during the run, two of the trucks went the entire distance without once having their engines stopped!
