Destination
Las Vegas convention season (January-March, September-November) creates massive freight spikes for event materials. Construction boom in both cities drives building materials demand year-round. Summer heat (115+ F) is dangerous for drivers and cargo. Super Bowl / major events create one-time surges.
US-93 between Kingman and Las Vegas (the final stretch) is narrow and winding through mountain terrain. Take it slow with loaded trailers.
Las Vegas has limited backhaul. Plan reloads carefully -- heading to LA or Salt Lake City is often the best option.
Summer heat is a serious hazard. Tire blowouts are common. Carry extra water and check tires at every stop.
Convention freight in Vegas pays extremely well but requires white-glove service and time-sensitive delivery.
Fuel in Arizona is cheaper than Nevada. Fill up in Kingman before crossing into NV.
