The 37-year-old Alaskan who starred in eight seasons of the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers reality TV show built her career from scratch. She started as a courier driver for the oil fields – a job that didn’t require a commercial driver’s license – and practiced driving a heavy-duty truck around the company yard during her off time.
