Dalton Highway Winter Ride-Along Advice

Can I get a trucker ride-along on the Dalton Highway to Deadhorse in winter?

Commercial trucking companies on the Dalton Highway almost never allow ride-alongs to Deadhorse — insurance and liability rules effectively rule it out, and winter conditions make it riskier still. Instead, book a guided winter Dalton Highway tour from Fairbanks. Reputable operators run multi-day Arctic Circle and aurora trips in winter-rated vehicles with emergency gear and drivers experienced in whiteouts, ice, and the road’s long remote stretches.
