Across the globe, there are places where roads freeze, vanish, or never truly exist-yet the freight must still get through. Extreme Trucking: Roads That Dare the World is a gripping journey through the harshest environments on Earth, where diesel engines and human determination battle ice, heat, altitude, and isolation. From Canada's ice roads and the Siberian "Road of Bones" to the deserts of the Sahara and the glaciers of Antarctica, this book tells the stories of the trucks and the people who drive them to the edge-and sometimes beyond.
With vivid storytelling and unmatched scope, this book uncovers the forgotten lifelines of our modern world: seasonal ice crossings, mountain switchbacks, jungle bogs, and Arctic convoys. It is a tribute to the machines built to endure and the drivers who redefine resilience with every load delivered. These are not just roads. They are trials.
