For me it is the Salt River Canyon in Arizona. I picked up this load of copper from a mine there.
When you first enter the canyon you are greeted with this sign. And you had better pay heed to the warning!
Here's a shot of the road as it winds it's way through the canyon...
Well, first off, I am not a trucker but I plan to be in the future. The most beautiful stretch of highway I've ever been on is I-77 from Charlotte to VA and then I-81 connects all the way up to Maryland. The best thing about it is the Appalachian Mts. My family moved from Florida to Allentown, PA. Me and my dad were in a Budget box truck with our furniture. We didn't want to take I-95 cause it was a straight 1,000 mile drive so we switched it up a little. I can tell you it was totally worth it. Just beware when you are entering VA, the State Troopers there are always pulling over people for speeding since there are a lot of hills on I-81. I remember just when we were entering VA, there was a trooper right after the Welcome to Virgina sign and then we saw many more throughout the state. Truckers travelling on I-81 pretty much try to floor it and the 4 wheelers kinda have to back off there, but truckers also have good control over turns on downhill and uphill. Overall the scenery is gorgeous and there Is good amount of elevation that you have to go through since you are passing in the mountains. If you drive in early morning, you can see the sun rising behind the mountains. I loved every second of it. Also, they have made alot of truck stops on there for truckers, places like Love's and Flying J were the most I noticed were there.
That's beautiful Old School. I hope KLLM pushes me out that way so I can see some of that beautiful south west county side. I've heard Glen Canyon in Colorado is a beautiful site to see as well.

Haha! That's me... I'm gonna get every little bit of that top speed of 63 mph out of my truck!
Old school you crack me up lol!
The 101 on the Oregon coast. When I was pulling a chip wagon I used to drive the 101 from Lincoln City to Newport every day. 🚛

What's the most beautiful stretch of highway you've seen since you've been trucking? A buddy of mine who's been driving for 10 years now claims that south west Utah around St George and Zion National Park is the most beautiful he's ever seen.
