  • Isn’t KZhead fantastic. I’m from the UK and I’d never see this and hear the problems truckers in the US experience working. Just love looking at the beautiful scenery and passing through small towns and cities. Thanks for doing these film Mike.

    • Neither have I in the U. S., heard the problems truckers face in the U. K., and I'm sure they have plenty of problems. Where can I go to see the same in the U. K. Paul?

You have my total and utter respect for your dedication to assure delivery of your line of goods transport and delivery. Quirky as it sounds ...but keep on trucking !!

  • The quality of the video and audio is wonderful. We want to hear from the driver. We did the drive from the Grand Canyon national park in a blizard through Flagstaff maybe 35 years ago in later November. We were driving a rear wheel drive nissan pickup through the snow. The good news was: as we drove down to the south from Flagstaff towards Phoenix the heavy snow turned into rain. The driving in the rain was so much easier than in the snow up near and in Flagstaff.

  • Some good memories here from when I lived in Phoenix in the early 1990s, and made several weekend jaunts up I-17 to various fun destinations: Sedona, Jerome/Cottonwood, Flagstaff... I was hoping to see that 6000-ft. descent down Black Canyon, but alas, your clip ended at the Jerome/Cottonwood exit. It was still cool to see the transition from snow at 8800ft. elevation to dry roads and landscape as you drop to... what, about 6000ft. along the Verde Valley? Always amazed me how much of a difference that elevation change made around Flagstaff.

I wondered why back in the day, the old delineator posts had a black target with the white or yellow reflective patches on them. Seeing this snow, I know why after all these years, they had those black markers.

Don't slam on the breaks or floor the accelerator or try to do drastic turns. Your trips will take longer. But, you will get there through the snow storms with snow, ice, and slush.

I don't think AZ puts a lot of money into snow maintenance. But once you hit Valley Verde (green valley) the snow stops, the weather raises 30* and you forget all about that snow.
