Winter Blizzard on the Haul Road: Dalton Diaries-Chapter 2
Join me as I brave harsh Arctic conditions on the Haul Road in Alaska. In this thrilling journey, I gear up my Peterbilt with cold weather protection, setting out on snow-covered roads amidst the looming threat of bad weather. After sleeping at Slope Mountain camp, I encounter roadblocks by a vehicle recovery team on my way north.
Witness the intensity of driving the Dalton Highway in the aftermaths of a blow while journeying into Prudhoe, battling strong winds despite the weather easing from the previous night. Heading south, I face challenges as icy conditions cover my lights, requiring quick action to clear them. Finally, completing the trip at Hilltop, this episode encapsulates the rugged adventures on the Arctic Haul Road.

Hey Tiffany , Just wanted to say thanks for getting the word out on the road of our concerns . Seems that 90 % got it and are giving us safer work conditions in our areas . And we thank those truckers who are slowing down and calling out letting us know they are coming up on us . We thank all . Mike , Operator Sag River DOT

Did a winter up north a few years back enjoy it

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 7 месяцев назад

They've redone a few things. 25-mile corner is changed. They raised the road up north from chicken run to slope mountain. You might not recognize it. Lol. It's here when you're ready to return!

This is a great video. I’m seriously considering coming up from the 48 and found this very insightful in regard to the experience. Now if only I could find a video as good regarding employment opportunities at companies that don’t blow.

I have a pair of 7 inch Light Force lights they are hight output halogen lights and you can have different color lenses for them they never freeze compare to all other LED lights i have on the rood and head lights, got to have something that will never freeze, Good Luck!!!

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 7 месяцев назад

I've thought about switching them out. Thank you for reinforcing my thoughts.

@kolejnipolscykrakersi 8 месяцев назад

Tick I used a few times for ice cover lights was to stick some foil on the light. Then just peel it. Hit or miss if it breaks but can work.

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 8 месяцев назад

Hmmm. I haven't heard of this. Let me try it out. Any type of foil?

@murder5000 6 месяцев назад

The weather does stop hauls. They don't force drivers to be unsafe

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely!! Rig moves, road closures, and weather all cause delays up here. Dispatchers are good about not putting too much pressure on us. They trust our judgment, too. It's a symbiotic system. And it seems to work.

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 7 месяцев назад

That's great! I'd recommend getting behind someone for a few trips to learn everything you can. Hills, blind corners, rough spots, edicut, etc. It's definitely important! Safe travels!

@timothyprice9064 8 месяцев назад

I have driven in The Mid-West Kansas and Missouri during the winter. You have to be careful out there. I drove in Germany and Korea both are known for nasty snow. The scariest place I have ever driven during the snow was around Fort Bragg North Carolina. They may get a little snow every few years. In one 30-mile stretch of I-95, we saw 25 to 30 seperate accidents.

I haul fuel in Minnesota and North Dakota so I drive in freezing fog and snow also. One of the windshield wash companies makes a de-icing spray for windshield and lights but I found methanol works the best so I keep a spray bottle with some in it to spray off my lights and stuff. I used to use a card for one of the terminals to scrape off the lights but it may or may not have broke 😮

The lights were LED, so they didn't put off much heat. And unfortunately, we literally have no sun but for 4 hours a day. Eternal night. I'll look into little heaters, though. Thank you!

@jamescaliendo1030 7 месяцев назад

Can someone explain the cover for the air cleaners?? Usually the colder air going into the turbo doesnt pose a problem for any type of diesel. This is something ive never seen before

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 7 месяцев назад

The covers are for the snow. Air intakes get clogged and can kill a motor when there's nothing covering them. I've heard of drivers throwing T shirts over their intakes during blizzards. You have to clean them off every once in a while. But it's better than being in a dead truck.

@jamescaliendo1030 7 месяцев назад

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking ahhhh ok ok yes...makes sense. I'm in NYC it's cold here, and it snows, but nothing of the sort that you see up your way. Thank you for explaining that for me. Be safe and enjoy the new year

what speed can you safely manage on that snowy road as here in UK nothing would be moving.

@rosewhite--- 8 месяцев назад

would a clear flexible cover like a phone screen protector make for easy iced up light clearing?

@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking 8 месяцев назад

Hmmm... the cover would still get iced over, and you'd be scraping it the same way. Or did you have something else in mind?

@rosewhite--- 8 месяцев назад

@@DaltonDarlinAlaskaTrucking I was thinking such a cover would be flexible and just peeling it up a bit would crack off all the ice without scraping.
