After the Live Broadcast.. Flagstaff in the Snow on Our Way to Phoenix AZ...

[@squeaksvids5886]

Isn’t KZbin 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.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

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 are driving too fast in those conditions.

[@apower912]

@@joannschmaltz6504 That's funny. Telling a seasoned OTR driver how to drive. 🙈🙉🙊

[@kathybahr2323]

Hi. Just happened across your live road trip Big Rig trucking recording. You’ve provided a rare & personal account of your everyday life of traffic , other drivers & road conditions you have to deal with. 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 !!

[@tomminer9675]

In August 1996 brought a load from Memphis ,Tn. to a jobsite in Scottsdale, Az. What a pleasure it was to stay in cool weather of Flagstaff, Az at Little America truck stop. The next day I got a lesson in monsoon thunder storms when I arrived in Scottsdale to find the jobsite washed away.

Coming down on I-17 is always a gamble cuz if there is any kind of wreck, they shut the highway down for hours and there is no other road to detour on.

[@ArizonaDevil-ep9ux]

I'm a local and live in flagstaff... if people don't know how to drive in the snow stay off the roads and don't Be Stupid...

[@wendyphillips5002]

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.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

So proud of you Mike, you made it 48 minutes without bragging about your car. And haven't biched about California yet

[@kevino4846]

What about his politics? Haven't watched this one yet.

[@SuperSpectus]

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.

[@cassie_to_heart734]

Morning Mike, it's autumn over here in down under, technically though we don't feel the effects of it until a month later. Our summer has been sultry and miserable (akin to FL heat) and that's a beautiful view of the Phoenix (or I like to call the dust bowl) travelling down

[@JoeMama41975]

Used to live in Phoenix. Loved seeing the snow in Flagstaff. Thanks for the vid and stay safe.

I love that feeling of coming down from high country to desert floor.

Now America has seen how much hard work truckers put into delivering products. Worked as a nurse close 40 years. Until covid , nurses were never appreciated either. I worked 14 hour shifts daily. Always 5 days weekly. As house supervisor over hospital ,7 days straight 2 off, 7days on 2days off, 7 days straight then 5 off. Worked these hours 7 years. Just retired recently. Be safe. Thanks for ur videos and hard work. Shalom. 💟.

We appreciate how you always try to give your subs the best viewing experience possible. Sometimes things are beyond your control, and we appreciate that. I enjoy your videos very much. I, too, have different vehicles for different uses. I have my Wrangler (the beast) for snow, and daily driving. For fun, I have a Corvette Z06, two different ends of the spectrum. Safe travels Mike.

My husband drives Monday through Friday to Flagstaff & he said yesterday was tough, because the weather and people driving and not thinking about how truck drivers have to maneuver around and they just speed carelessly

This brings back some good memories of travelling through Arizona with my parents going to Arkansas, Alabama and Kentucky. 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.

I drove back from Flagstaff to Phoenix on the same day. Slow going but it was all good for me. As we dropped down below 5000' all the snow on the road cleared up pretty well. That was enough snow for me. Back to the 70s in Phoenix where I live.

[@wendyphillips8424]

I remember driving in slush with falling snow in winter. Just drive with the flow of traffic and leave lots of room between vehicles. 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.

One of the worst snow storms we ever drove through was from Flag to Phoenix. Took us 2 hours to go 30 miles. Saw 3 trucks j-knifed in the median. 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.

[@mistyrainbow7299]

Was driving through Flagstaff once when the roads were covered in snow and you had to drive 10-20 miles an hour because you could not see a thing! This guy is driving way too fast for the conditions! Another car or a deer could send him plowing snow off the side of the road! Learned to respect snow, ice, deer,and humans in Northern Idaho!
