They travel In groups of ten or more, driving in close formation, and it takes hair trigger concentration and expert driving know-how on the part of the men behind the wheels Except for brief stops at relay stations, spaced approximate­ ly every one hundred miles, the trip is non-stop. Relay stops are made only to gas up. check the trucks mechanically, and to change exhausted drivers. These Army convoy crews would willingly wag­ er six months pay theirs is one of the toughest jobs in the Army to­ day But they're just as unwilling to give up their back breaking grind for assignments elsewhere. After hours on the road, eyes focussed not on the magnificent scenery which one day will make the Alaska Highway one of the tourist wonders of the world, but on the tail of the truck right in front, all the boys ask for is a six hour catnap in their ever present sleeping bags to refresh themselves for the return trip. They're back- Lake and Whitehorse, where two and three lane roadway permits comfortable travel and a 40 mph speed can be achieved. There are a few sections, how­ ever. which still provide tough go­ ing and repair and construction crews are working feverishly to improve this roadbed. Despite the many handicaps, some of the trucks "highball" the 1000 mile stretch from Dawson Creek to Whitehorse in about 72 hours time, and boy. that’s rolling. Only first ^ate mechanical skill in maintaining the rolling stock at a peak of efficiency makes this'tre­ mendous transport job possible. The trucks used on the Highway were the first in this war to be built to Government specifications. A directive for a "pilot” production model was released in December. 1940 and production models began rolling off the converted passenger car line at the Studebaker plant at South Bend, Ind., a few months later. Trucks are four speed and have a conventionally mounted six cylinder engine with a multiple drive feature included to assure positive driving force regardless of the unevenness of the terrain.
