Heart breaking: Lisa Kelly shortly passed away at the age of… more details

When it came out in 2007, “Ice Road Truckers” was one of the History Channel shows that got the most viewers. It started things off with a bang. The show ran for 11 seasons after a successful debut and showed the extreme difficulties of transporting cargo in big rigs across perilous ice roads. The program followed Alex Debogorski and Hugh Rowland, two famous drivers, on their legendary journey. However, Lisa Kelly was unquestionably one of the standouts. She was the first female driver on the reality show and drove through some of the harshest environments that Canada and Alaska had to offer. When Kelly was six years old, she moved to Sterling, where she got her first taste of life in Alaska. She went to Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she was born, for a semester after finishing high school. After that, she went back to Alaska to start working. She revealed to Business and Technology that while working at a pizza restaurant, she quickly discovered that she enjoyed driving and secured employment as a bus driver and bakery delivery driver. She eventually got a job at Carlile Transportation, her first job in the trucking industry, years before she was on the show. Kelly began appearing on the show as a regular in Season 3 in 2009, and she also starred in the spinoff series “IRT: Deadliest Roads,” which ran for two seasons. Kelly made a lot of noise at that time by appearing on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” At one point, Esquire Magazine named Kelly “The Sexiest Trucker Alive.” She continued to appear on the show until the fifth season, at which point she decided not to return for Season 6, but that did not mean that her time on “Ice Road Truckers” was over.
