Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows what highway 87 & 260 from Tempe to Holbrook AZ is? I am specifically looking at railings on drop offs and how close the drop off is to the road. Mostly because I am a little scared of heights. Also would like to know how busy it is at night, curves, and are there places to pull over?

I don't know about those particular roads, but I do share your fear of heights. What I do is refuse to look at the drop off. I just concentrate on the road and my truck. I was going to Yakima from Portland running empty. The wind pushed me around a couple of times then I had to cross a bridge. Luckily I crossed alone, I just focused on the ending of the bridge. Hang in there.

I looked on YouTube. Seems to be a beautiful ride, on two wheels, at least. Several videos going up & down the escarpment. And a nice wide highway.

I'd love to go with you! One YouTube video

P & D:

Pickup & Delivery

Local drivers that stay around their area, usually within 100 mile radius of a terminal, picking up and delivering loads.

LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers for instance will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.
