Todd Dewey
Todd is a seasoned heavy hauler and low-bed driver, well-known by IRT fans for his loud personality and willingness to tackle any challenge. With years of experience moving difficult loads, he’s the go-to guy for jobs that others say can’t be done. The satisfaction of providing essential supplies to remote communities, especially when children run out to greet him, fuels him despite the harsh realities of the road. Todd is critical of the industry’s shift towards more casual training methods, feeling that new drivers lack the grit needed to handle tough conditions. He believes trucking is a lifestyle, not just a job, and that it requires skill and determination to survive the ice roads. Even though he has seen the industry change, he remains dedicated, knowing the importance of his work for families relying on his deliveries. Married for 26 years with four daughters, he credits his wife for her patience and understanding, admitting that his stubborn and often arrogant demeanor can be tough to handle. Despite his tough exterior, deep down, Todd is just as much a teddy bear as he is a hard-working trucker, and his commitment to both his family and his profession speaks volumes about who he is.
