Been in Alaska my whole life. In 1968 a photo was taken of a D-8 moving snow off of Thompson Pass, it was an effort since the snow was several feet above the dozer's blade. Been though the pass many times and Alaska's D.O.T does a great job on it, so Thanks to all of you for you efforts.

My hat off to you all in the Thompson pass....... very few people have experienced a snow plow truck in a blinding storm... handling power of whatever chassis.... not knowing if one should keep going or slow down and stop... expecting to get rear ended.... and YOU ALL are trailblazing new technology of operator guidance to keep you on the road which I have much interest in.... this is not place for a ordinary..... signing off, the TPLow inventor...Bob

Ther awesome trucks the plough is great I see Nova Scotia Canada also uses them as of now although they have a different plough I think the plough is awesome the big snow drifts you go threw it don’t end up on your windshield

Not to take anything away from what these operators and plow trucks do in Valdez, however there are a few similar roads in the north that deal with these Pacific coastal mountain passes with their mind boggling amounts of snow and accompanying avalanches. The Haines road as well as the South Klondike highway coming out of Skagway for example easily come to mind, occasionally they reach a point when there is just to much snow for similarly equipped plow trucks trucks to handle and the operators have to use large snowblowers just to get out the shop doors and keep right on going from there with them, now that’s a heavy snowfall.

Well....Mack must have given the Alaska Dept of Transportation one hell of a deal on these Macks ‘cause nobody else in the state uses ‘em. Left there 18 years ago so this could be old info. At that time there wasn’t a dealer in the state so if you had one every replacement part had to be flown in.

5 days to clear a damalanche seems pretty quick considering all the snow they moved. I would have screamed bring in the blow torches.

What is the cost of that rig as it sits? I know that the Internationals and Freightliners are around $140K +/- without the plows, sanders, dump beds, etc. And those are usually with Eaton manuals.

WSDOT currently buys Freightliner SD114s, and a ready to run heavy duty 3-axle plow truck with a wing plow, sander, radios, etc, costs around $300K. Considering ADOT/PF's satellite AVL tracking, and some other gadgets necessary to working a snowstorm alone, I'm guessing $400K. I wish we had Macks. Hell, we should be operating Kenworths, since they are made here in our own state.

I can’t believe those striped down Volvo’s can handle that, they have trouble in Illinois in cold weather. That’s why they’re at least $15,000 cheaper than Kenworths.

Tell Mack/Volvo engineer's to better design the placement of the fuel and oil filters so the everyday owner doesn't have to remove the inner fenders to access them which are still buried behind the frame...makes for a pain. Here's an idea,look at Peterbilt how there fuel filters are on the outside of the frame and the oil filters are high enough to access. Would it also be too much to ask why Macks front axle feels EVERY imperfection in the road,Peterbilt's handle so much better and more stable. Macks steering has always been heavy and you really have to work the wheel to keep it between the lines. No bashing just pointing out mine and many others experiences with Macks,then again as they say,you get what you pay for!

Our entire fleet of county highway trucks (15) could NOT keep one mile of this highway open during the storms they get. We don't take pride in our equipment because there are 100 roads leading out. They depend on these trucks....to live.
