Love your channel but I'm so glad I quit trucking 35 years ago and started wrenching... I don't miss the drama of driving with the only thing on my mind, getting somewhere only to have to get somewhere else next. It was no fun always getting somewhere on time. Now I just have to worry about getting home in time for dinner 😎 keep up the good work brother!!!
Just saw this video. Glad you had a chance to see Flagstaff. Its much better in the summer. This is a tourist town, so we get lots of people from Phoenix who have never seen snow, much less drive in it. If you're from here; you know to be home and dry by 6pm or the black ice will get you.
Video turned out great. Your go pros are doing just fine for night recording, even with low lighting if any at all. Besides, it's different and those that don't like it can F off! It's your channel, your videos, your time, your job. We just watch. Btw, Flyers are in town tomorrow and Let's Go Pens!!!!! 🐧🐧
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. At least you were able to navigate through the snow covered streets with out fail other than the dude on the bicycle Wow! Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
I left Orland,CA one time in the 70's in a cabover Freightliner with a shiny 290 and 45,000 lbs. of Italian Olives and l hit snow going over the pass. I never drove another mile on a highway that wasnt snow covered all the way to Manhattan, NY. It was so deep crossing Nebraska that they had tied broom handles to the reflectors with a ribbon on them so the plows could see them. Such was the days of wine and roses.❤
I use one of those clipboards that has a storage to put that type of paperwork in. Granted mine is plastic rather than metal but still works for what I need.
Hi 👋🏽 Steve and Orwell love video I shotgun with you from Wyoming beautiful country and love how Orwell climbed icy hills and as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I grew up in Prescott a few ways away from flagstaff. Casey Liddell of Cascade Heavy Rescue of zBend Oregon had the same thing happen with a bicyclist in black coat at night. the steam locomotive you pointed out used to be at the Coconio County fair grounds
Hi Steve, I totally agree with you on traffic lights crossing. However, we have traffic light camera here in the UK which are nightmare. You could have lost your license just in this episode ( four amber-red ). Imagine how stressful it is
If you park in the lot across from Little America there's an awesome steakhouse right next door, there's a gate in the fence for truckers to use to get to it.
Just found your cool channel and Orwellian Truck. I'm just here to offer negative comments :p Just kidding. Your truck is awesome and I enjoyed 3 videos last night on the big screen starting with that crazy cold start of Orwell.
It's dark. All we're looking at is the road. It's nice all. Just lug it a little here and there through the snow. I don't take advantage of it. But, yeah, just go through the lights.
Call a cop .they have slim Jim’s . I’ve driven I 40 many times to NM . Sun lite in morning is real rough off the snow this time of year . I’d drive it at nite ! Flagstaff has gotten bigger . Haven’t been there since 1981 43 years enough time for lots of growth
Hey, Steve? For opening a locked car door, you could always carry a Slim Jim. I happen to know Advance Auto Parts carries them, and they are legal to purchase if a store like Advance Auto carries them. That way, the next time you come across a car with the key or fob inside, you could open up the door with the Slim Jim.
Everyone over here in the Netherlands rides bikes but I've never seen anyone this suicidal to be cycling in the snow with nothing but a ffing reflector to be noticed by other traffic. Hope he made it home safe.
Hey Steve love watching ya work the COE!! When ya gonna fix them headache rack lights?? Workin a RGN in winter. You Da Man! Hated it sumtymes!!! Stay Safe🇺🇸🏴☠️🍺
nice wide open place! I don't know if U need a truck, or a sled! yup! we had some bomb cyclones a few years back! man they were mean storms! I would have a set of snow eating tires, and a tire machine...just a special note: the video quality looks good! that's some tough weather 2 drive through! U did good, say's this rookie!! ha..ha.. a chunk of coal on 2 wheels! geez! the snow-man!!
CAR LOCKOUTS--If fire/police can't help call hospital and speak to security. They do lockouts all the time. Request they work on passenger door. Sometimes car dealers will help. You got lucky Steve. Flagstaff gets lots of snow due to elevation.
Hey Steve. Have you ever lock your truck door then shut your door and get 4 fingers in the door then reach inside your right pocket in your jeans with your left hand to get the keys out and try to unlock the door. Trust me it hurts. Hahaha
Were u there when they closed I-40 between there and gallup? Local radios kept broadcasting it all day sayin it was gonna close that evening till next day. 😱😧
U should add a light in the back of Orwell so u can see better putting chains and straps back in the headache rack. I had an elderly lady approach me asking if I had a slimbar to get her SUV door open. Cause her door automatically locked up when she shut the door and I said sorry. Jessie heard me telling the elderly lady that (ear piece Bluetooth) and I was like what a minute. I approach her and I said maybe the back hatch will open. W d it did open and the alarm system went off. I was able to climb in from the back of the minivan and climb over the seats carefully cause she had her grandkids in car seats. I was able to climb in the passenger seat. I am 6'5" 280 pounds. And I unlocked the door and she was really happy. I took her to get a belt clip keychain and she was like I am going to get it now. She did cause she was at the truckstop buying one. The person on the bicycle is required to have a flashing red light underneath the seat and a headlight on the handlebars. And supposed to be wearing a reflector vest (what construction people wear) they get ticketed for no lights and no reflection vest here all the time and we seen people lose their bikes because of they been warned to get light's.
Two sets of keys. I always keep a main set of keys in my pocket that never leave my pocket unless I need them. Then. I operate everything with another set of keys. That only belongs to that vehicle. Too much weight destroys the ignation.
@steveib724 I just got done watching another channel. He had a brand new one. Why he got ride of it. Him and his wife has/had one. With the door open. The parking break is on. Bad for him opening gates. Bad for her to escape someone doing harm to her. She hasn't gotten rid of hers yet. He went with Ford. The Ford doesn't do it. I don't depend on technology. I depend on myself. I learned not to trust the technology. If you're happy that way. So be it.
What are you even talking about. The rare curse gets the truck horn. If even that is too much for you, then move along to a vegan diet, soy milk, and safe spaces. Working class people aren't for you.
I bet you don’t have a problem with all the other horrible things that are happening in this country tho….but heaven help us all if someone has cursed….
Hi Steve, nice video....I love how you put the clip of Cletis running over those motorcycles 😂😂😂
Best I could find
People on bicycles in winter always scare me. You never know if they're going to fall under your vehicle or what.
Love your channel but I'm so glad I quit trucking 35 years ago and started wrenching...
I don't miss the drama of driving with the only thing on my mind, getting somewhere only to have to get somewhere else next. It was no fun always getting somewhere on time. Now I just have to worry about getting home in time for dinner 😎 keep up the good work brother!!!
That was awesome they unloaded you without any hassle. 😊
Its awsome to see Orwell in Northern Arizona. I live about 40 minutes south of Flagstaff in Camp Verde. Love your channel ❤️
Nice to see the finish of the Flagstaff adventure. Head to Albuquerque tomorrow.
Steve you need to add a led spot or flood light on the rear of your truck.
Magnetic led lights are awesome. You can stick them anywhere that's metal and point in the direction you need to see
He could use a set of those Fire Wire headlights too.
@@thomasdragosr.841Auxbeam lights work great, have 2 Auxbeam spot lights on my mower since I do alot of mowing at dusk or nighttime.
I was in a local area Love's this morning. They had plenty of egg cups just waiting for a visit from Orwell.

Always like the night ride along. Excellent video Steve!
👍👍💯🇺🇸
Stopped at the Little America Travel center back in 98 on my way to Sacramento
It was so clean and nice
Can’t imagine what it looks like now
Last tyme there was in 05? In '98 was at Ft. Irwin, Komiefornia. Earnhardt won Daytona 🏁🏴☠️🇺🇸
Still Clean and nice. Owned by an old time Mormon family.
Amazingly clear footage and you have a big heart Steve
THANK YOU FOR VIDEO AS SHOW THE SNOW THAT ROADS
Loved the bike runover
Dave

If you're ever in trouble and get stuck out there call Murphy's Diesel. First class guys
Learned my lesson got locked out of my car once never again
Here comes another observation, why not carry a clip board so that the signers have something to write on??
tbh that is a good suggestion
I use one of those clipboards that has a storage to put that type of paperwork in.
Granted mine is plastic rather than metal but still works for what I need.
Because he can roll the bill up and carry in his back pocket if need no clip board here man
He doesn't carry one so people ask why he doesn't!🤣👍
Hi 👋🏽 Steve and Orwell love video I shotgun with you from Wyoming beautiful country and love how Orwell climbed icy hills and as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Snowman reference running over the bikes 😂 🤘
I always enjoyed Little America in Flagstaff. Great people, great showers with deep soaking tubs. Very relaxing place! Enjoy!
Good one take care be safe 🙏
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.
Brings back so many memories!
I saw that train station and immediately thought it looked like a Rico style station.
I live off of Forest Ave (12 percent grade), had you taken Switzer, you would have encountered that. it was to your left just before 23:30.
Steve, if you want to stay out of the snow , come to northern Wisconsin
I grew up in Prescott a few ways away from flagstaff. Casey Liddell of Cascade Heavy Rescue of zBend Oregon had the same thing happen with a bicyclist in black coat at night. the steam locomotive you pointed out used to be at the Coconio County fair grounds
Thumbs up 👍 thanks for sharing 😊
I noticed that steam locomotive when ya went by it on the way in. On the last video
Maybe u should keep things like that in Orwell so if someone else needs help like that then you could help
Stay safe and be careful enjoy your trip God bless
I’m finally 1st today awesome job Steve keep up the amazing job
Hi Steve, I totally agree with you on traffic lights crossing. However, we have traffic light camera here in the UK which are nightmare. You could have lost your license just in this episode ( four amber-red ). Imagine how stressful it is
The overall lighting was great.
Your lucky it's moving there bad about closing the freeway gate when it snows
Hey man! Love Your Shots you record of the places you drive by, love the truck, but love that stuff just as much
At least the van will be warm 😂
You should head to the Twin Arrows Casino which is 25 miles east on I-40. Lots of truck parking there.
If you park in the lot across from Little America there's an awesome steakhouse right next door, there's a gate in the fence for truckers to use to get to it.

ALL OF UR VEDIO TURING OUT PHENOMENAL HERO
Call a cop .they have slim Jim’s . I’ve driven I 40 many times to NM . Sun lite in morning is real rough off the snow this time of year . I’d drive it at nite ! Flagstaff has gotten bigger . Haven’t been there since 1981 43 years enough time for lots of growth
Good evening brother feels like a spring day

I believe I would just call it a night and get breakfast in the am and truck on
Steve on video more than 1/2 of it had no sound I like to hear what's going on Steve!!!
Everyone over here in the Netherlands rides bikes but I've never seen anyone this suicidal to be cycling in the snow with nothing but a ffing reflector to be noticed by other traffic. Hope he made it home safe.
Hey Steve love watching ya work the COE!! When ya gonna fix them headache rack lights?? Workin a RGN in winter. You Da Man! Hated it sumtymes!!! Stay Safe🇺🇸🏴☠️🍺
Safe travels 🍃💫
It's been a mild winter this year.

a chunk of coal on 2 wheels! geez! the snow-man!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who puts his straps in the side box.
I saw it in your last video you posted lol when you were going to the drop off
You should definitely invest in some low light go pros. It was a little unwatchable during the dark parts.
Video turned out pretty good, might need to get better lighting for loading/unloading, and driving on the road. I use Auxbeam lights on my mower.
CAR LOCKOUTS--If fire/police can't help call hospital and speak to security. They do lockouts all the time. Request they work on passenger door. Sometimes car dealers will help. You got lucky Steve. Flagstaff gets lots of snow due to elevation.
PEOPLE ON BIKES CAN BE DANGEROUS BETWEEN WABASHA, MN. AND NELSON, WI. IN THE SUMMER TIME.
Good job steve
🍭SWEET🍭Nice👍🏻God Bless🙏🏼👍🏻💖🌞
Hey Steve. Have you ever lock your truck door then shut your door and get 4 fingers in the door then reach inside your right pocket in your jeans with your left hand to get the keys out and try to unlock the door. Trust me it hurts. Hahaha
Gettin close to my "20"
It's about time you got that delivery posted...I was about to turn Traitor and go watch South Georgia Hotshot whine about his never ending dramas.
forgot your wood block on the trailer steve
It's nailed down
Were u there when they closed I-40 between there and gallup? Local radios kept broadcasting it all day sayin it was gonna close that evening till next day. 😱😧
Heard that cough, hope u ain't gettin sick. 😱😨😰🤢🤮

no computer has the pucker factor
I tell you what 😂 some of these comments are ridiculous 🤣
What is that GPS that even shows cars on the side of the road?
Can't say, algorithm will yeet it into The Shadow Realm. Just look up maps and it's the #2 most popular
Waze
More states are passing move over and slow down laws trying to save lives of first responders.
@@fsctrucking I thank you all
@@fsctrucking thank you my friend

Yep I can't lock my keys in my tundra if I wanted to won't lock while running
@steveib724 I just got done watching another channel. He had a brand new one. Why he got ride of it. Him and his wife has/had one. With the door open. The parking break is on.

SOME PEOPLE NEED TO REALLY BE AT WORK.
On most of of the videos taken at night, it’s nearly impossible to see what is going on, maybe you should try using a light on the camera.
24:00 - WTF is up with that light? 5 seconds of green? That's gotta be some revenue trap. 🤦🏻♂️
👍👍
They wouldn't let you stay on the lot for 10 hours?
I probably would have. But where would I have restrooms and food available?
That Idiot on the bike had a Death WIsh for sure.Stay Safe Steve and Thank You
Why is he asking *you* for chain??
And also, why is he asking *you* for chain??
your phone will have your location just look on it
Hide a key works wonders, or keep a spare in the wallet??
Drama...just drive.
ste iven is that your true name? jus trying to do right anyhow why so anger all the tme???
Not sure that guy appreciated hearing the "broad" comment about the woman you talked to
Far out
Get some duck tape put on window and pull it down
Yellow lite men's go faster
Re: (keys locked in the car), l guess her car key would be the type that l wouldn't keep in my wallet due to it's bulkiness.
Did I hear Steve call Orwell an old girl? Uhhhhhh... is Orwell self-identifying these days?
NANNIES SHOULD NOT BE IN TRUCKS PERIOD
🤩 *promo sm*
I'd watch the channel more often if it wasn't for the frequent Profanity,that's a Big turn off in our home,but if that's what some have to do.
What are you even talking about. The rare curse gets the truck horn. If even that is too much for you, then move along to a vegan diet, soy milk, and safe spaces. Working class people aren't for you.
Yeah, you're thinking of some other channel bud.🤔
I bet you don’t have a problem with all the other horrible things that are happening in this country tho….but heaven help us all if someone has cursed….
Been there a few times 😂
