Carlile trucks transport stranded North Slope workers

Steve Sutherlin

During the flight ban that followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, Carlile Transportation Services Inc. pitched in to help some of its customers' North Slope employees get home from the North Slope.

“Officially we don't transport passengers,” Kevin Cilk of Carlile’s North Slope office told PNA. “We’ve given some customers a ride home — people who work for BP, Phillips and Colville.”

The company was giving the workers a lift in Carlile trucks as far as Fairbanks, where rental cars were available.

Passengers were permitted on the trucks as long as they had company permission. No fare was charged, said company President Harry McDonald said.
