Glenallen, mile-marker 187 - 120 miles to Valdez
Dalton Hwy (Alaska 11 - Haul Road) Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay – using Dalton Hwy - 512 miles Haul Road Statistics Attigan Pass - 244 miles, elevation 4,800 with 12 percent grade
Gobblers Knob – 8 to 10 percent grade
Beaver Slide – 10 percent grade
Chandalar Shelf – 10 to 12 percent grade
Ice Cut – 10 percent grade Driving Time For Commercial Trucks (Fairbanks > Prudhoe Bay) Winter - 12 hours

Canvas covers called water fronts over radiators
Sleeper cabs to accommodate the required 12 breaks
Anti-freeze for 30 to 40 degrees below Fahrenheit
Haul Road trucks have a longer wheel base of 300 inches
Trucks are never turned off when the temperature is 0 or lower
To save fuel some truckers are buying generators to heat sleeping cabs during required 12-hour down time if temperatures are 0 or above
Truckers chain only when necessary in winter using triple rail tire chains with 7mm (.275 inches) inch studs
Chain two tires at a time with center rail between chains
