For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

The key points are: KJ has previously worked in the truck body and utility truck business. He recently left his job to start his own company, Service Trucks USA, which focuses on service trucks with cranes. Kurt and KJ discuss the current state of the supply chain for trucks, attributing the disruption to a lack of computer chips, Covid shutdowns, and labor shortages.

They also discuss a reality TV star, One Ibarra, who runs a gold mining business and uses custom-built service trucks.

34:11

Managing a fleet of vehicles in rugged and diverse environments like those faced by Northwestern Energy, which operates across Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska, requires careful planning and adaptation. Winter preparedness is crucial, with checks on tires, hydraulics, and the use of appropriate vehicles with snow chains being essential from October onwards. Deep snow necessitates the use of track units, requiring precise planning for installation and removal. Different terrains and tasks demand specialized off-road equipment, ranging from UTVs to snowmobiles and snowcats. Frequent tire changes are unavoidable due to the harsh conditions, and specific tire types are crucial for optimal performance. Finally, company policy emphasizes the use of professional towing services rather than employee self-towing to minimize potential damage in case of breakdowns.
