As a rookie (2 years) I've watched your videos to learn how to drive in these conditions and they've saved my ass I don't know how many times. Thank you sincerely
After 11:51 you talk about drivers getting into your "safe" zone. I drive a car and will create a safe zone and people are forever driving into it as if road conditions are good. It drives me crazy. Now after watching videos like this,I sure have a deep appreciation for all the men and women who are truckers.You drive in terrible weather,put up with a-hole drivers,and work long,tedious hours,so we can purchase the products that you deliver. I must admit,I have neither the skill nor courage to do your job. So, a big "Thank you!" to all you truckers out there. Millions of us are very thankful for all you do
👍For the rookies: this man knows his stuff👍, only thing I’d add about using the engine break in snow is… 1)you better lock you gear in manual mode if you’re driving an automatic. 2) no sudden movements if you throttle out of a slide, everything is gradual. Gradual throttle, gradual turn correction, gradual braking. I completely agree with you about the jake (engine brake) I drive dedicated Colorado to California, so I’m in that everyday other day during every winter. and I almost ALWAYS use the engine break on the downgrades in the snow to help maintain a steady speed. Great video hope I don’t seem rude, just wanted to build a little more on what you said.
I’ve been sick for 3 days. Yesterday I was so bored with TH-cam. None of the randomness in my feed was hitting my comfort spot. I tried documentaries, road rage fights, religious/political debates, fail videos, etc. None of them were curing my boredom. Then I came across your videos of you driving through the mountains. That’s when my mind finally relaxed. Thanks, man.
I've never seen this part of the country in snow before and was blown away by how beautiful it was, and from the snow and ice, as someone who lives in a tropical climate. Respect for a man who knows his job and does it so well!
Funny, I was doing the opposite direction exactly the same time... must have passed this guy! I did a round trip from Colorado to California and back a week later. It was alarming to see at least 10 occasions of truckers drifting off the side of the road, waking up, over-correcting, and having a hard time straightening out. It was particularly alarming to see the 3-trailer FedEx trucks doing that!
My f-i-law worked in the Ft. Pitt tunnels in Pittsburgh. I marveled how they achieved making them given the tools they had at hand. I can't help but marvel how they put roads in here. In some areas it looks like the rock face is merely feet away!
Been through there a couple of times, had to drive through a huge Summer Storm that had most traffic stopped. Luckily I tucked in behind a big rig and followed him at a snails pace near the Eisenhower Tunnels. Was fun once, wouldn't like it for a job.
I love these videos, cuz you don't really think about what these drivers are carrying, and what could cause them to tip over. This gives me so much more respect for the men and women who keep our country moving. Thank you.
My late uncle was an OTR trucker for 40+ years….enjoy hearing about your days, loads, personal jibber jabber, and just watching the journey down the road. Ty for sharing it all!
I’m sure your uncle had faced many different issues.. WEATHER, CRAZY DRIVERS, POLICE, SLOW TRAFFIC, DIFFERENT KINDS OF WRECKS and CONSTRUCTIONS. Probably over 10 million miles he drove… had his PATIENCE over 40 year worked… he deserved… thanks!
I’m down on my back from arthritis. (76) yrs. so good to ride with you on UT. 30 mg of morphine not working tonight. This gets my mind off my pain. Thank you for baby sitting🤗
I have lived in this area for 20 years. I live in Brighton, co now. Going over the mountains in co, isn't easy for truckers. But the views are amazing. At least you're going up, going down is much harder. Be safe out there, lots of crazies out driving.
Heyo, Mike With my maps and street view and the satellites, feeding the cat, and makin up super, you and i have spent the evening together. You give a good ride Mike. Smooth, no bumps, no errors. BTY, i'm an old cabinetmaker and sawdust producer. I've also hauled rock with double bottom dumps and slam-bangin transfer dumps. ...up and down the left coast, CA., OR., WA., what a gas. Happy Trails, Buen Camino
I love riding along with you. My dad was a truck driver for Safeway, he called himself a flatlander delivering in KS and MO. He always had the utmost respect for those like you who brave the mountains!
Dude, this is so cool you uploaded these videos. Most people don’t appreciate what you do, and you’re talking to us as if we’re riding with you. Subbed
CO native here. I wish people would learn to drive in these conditions OR know they can't, and stay put (including truckers not just civilian cars). Thanks for this! CO weather can change in a FLASH!
So am I !! I love sitting in the front seat with Mike driving in the mountains!!! In good weather and in bad weather!! I enjoy him telling what gears he is in and why, etc. 🤗♥️
Always a pleasure riding with Mike Mountain Pierce, as hs confidence shines through and other drivers could take note and by watchng his expertise, learn a thing or three about driving on American Highways but then I am Scottish so what do I know, in the right hand passenger seat, riding shotgun.
@@jeffreymcmillan7703 Depeends on which side of roads you mean the wrong sides, as here in the UK we drive on the proper side, unlike our Colonial Brothers and Sisters.
So cool how coming out of Eisenhower tunnel you can come out in what looks like a different world. I've seen that long downhill stretch take out a ton of cars heading west after exiting the tunnel.
I love your videos. Especially seeing all the snow. Can we do more rides on your drop off and deliveries? Stay safe and I knew you wouldn't chain up lol.
I take this drive to go skiing in Keystone every other weekend but I try not to have to do it in inclement weather. That being said, when you book a $250/night room for the weekend you have to make the drive regardless, and it can be terrifying, especially coming out of Eisenhower tunnel with icy roads ( you never really know what it’s going to look like on the side of the continental divide) and having to come down that damn hill into Silverthorne. Btw, I guarantee they closed I70 both directions shortly after this was filmed. They usually don’t let it get much worse, these are some serious conditions, glad you made it through safely ✌🏼
I loved it ! Keep videos coming and your voice is great this is really calming to me . Memories of my daddy driving all over that states. Thank you so much . The Continental Divide , Georgetown ❤️
Love these videos! ❤ Well done for keeping us up-to-date, MMM. I know I-70 a little bit from when I lived/worked in Denver in 1984 and many subsequent visits. Rob from UK

Also "Steep Grade Up Ahead" Eddie Rabbitt wrote that song "those windshield wipers snappin out a tempo..keepin perfect witht he rhythm of the radioooo....gotta keep arollin'" Drivin' My Life away...RIP.
Thanks for the ride! I used to haul beer loads 45 years ago from breweries in the Midwest, St. Louis and Peoria mainly. This was very nostalgic, from my perspective, although the mountains add a bit of spice to the mix!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. I don’t experience this type of weather condition while driving in Florida. You make it look easy, good job being safe👍
Thank you for showing the roads of the West. I moved from Colorado over a decade ago and miss my state. This drive on I-70 is one I did frequently. Although there as a little bit of snow I could see it as if it was a clear summer day. Take care and live well.
You have a GREAT GREAT channel! Love the long interactive drives. I feel I can be outside out of the UK on your journeys. Lots of love from Birmingham, UK.
Love being allowed to ride along . You're informative , entertaining ,and I agree with most of your politics . You're a consummate professional and I always feel safe as we journey to so many scenic places .
Ran across your video and actually enjoyed it. The mountains of Colorado are beautiful. And watching the snow was cool. Felt like I was on a road trip!
Thanks for the 'ride along' - former CO resident, know that road well - making me kind of homesick! Love waiting to see what's on the other side of that tunnel - always a surprise!
Spoiler alert: it snows! :) Thanks for sharing. We live in Littleton/Columbine, just at the foothills about 12 miles west of the Broncos stadium. We just had more than a foot of snow fall on us. Schools were actually closed for the day... very rare around here! But the hiking trails were open, and my wife and I enjoyed an after in the mountains in snow and 7 degrees! Again, thanks for sharing a little familiar piece of home.

Hello! New to your channel and have to say this was very enjoyable and love the views. I’ve always wanted to just ride along on a truck and see the country. This video gives me a taste of that so thank you and prayers for safe travels always. God bless you and thank you again.
in Germany we drive with lights on when it snows and visibility is poor. In addition, the cars in the left lane drive much too fast when there is snow and maybe icy.
I liked this video because you explained what was actually going on inside your head, and explained your logic, and why you do things the way you do while driving in the snow.
I work several years with heavy haul see how the machines were loaded on the low boys I have so much respect for you guys just stay safe so you can roll another day
It's always fun as a Coloradan to watch your videos and see how close you are to my house/try to find where you are based on the street signs/highway signs, or see the roads I drive every day from your point of view. unincorporated Jefferson County (technically but not technically Golden Gang) Note for other regular car drivers, remember to give a good bit of space when merging in front of a semi whenever you can!

Not sure why they don't use the throttle to get up to speed.. it's like they mosey up to the lane at 40 mph then they decide to get to 65 after they are completely on the fwy.
As a firefighter who's mostly dealt with highway accidents, the absolute rage I feel when people cut a 25,000 semi off with at least 30,000 pounds of cargo expecting y'all to stop on a dime. It honestly should be mandatory to have a separate section of drivers ed dedicated solely to semis. You guys keep this country running and I can't even begin to imagine the stress you guys feel. God bless you all.
Just found your channel. Love it. I'm in western Montana, heading out to Missouri in a couple weeks to train for my CDL. Hoping to get in some snow and mountains with a good trainer before springtime.
I love riding along with you. It gives me peace. It reminds me of when I was 7 & 8 yrs old I used to ride with my dad on "day trips". Basically from Louisville to up around Akron. Good memories. He died on the job in Dec '76 in the Indy area.
I am rewatching your video and realized you were talking about Hutchison Western which was founded in Manchester, IA in 1952 and has 3 divisions in Delaware County, lumber and building products and transportation. Manchester is my county seat. I also use a lot of HW products on my farm. Nice, noice!!!
I saw Matt’s video where he talked about mind over cold too, and it works! To a point… I lived in Alaska for six years. Twenty below and no matter what you’re thinking about, ten minutes and you are a pop sickle. I once had to change out a starter on a sheet of ice and decided I’d rather do it in a foot of rain. Moved south. Thanks for the ride! (Originally from Colorado)
Greetings! Euro trucker here. Beautiful country you have there. Say, do you ever encounter wild animals on the road? I often meet deers and wild hogs while driving in mountainous and forested areas. Especially during winter when they roam around looking for food. Last time I had a dozen of them jump in front of me. Slammed the breaks so hard I could smell the burnt rubber through the AC. Good thing it was late at night and no one was behind me at that time. It's really surprising every time I meet any wild animals, because even if you slow down and roll by you never know whats going to happen. I had a fawn last year jump under my wheels as I was passing it by. Anyway, safe trips!
Hi there. I just came across your videos and what I’m about to say may sound silly. I get very nervous when driving in the snow, and watching this video made me feel like I’m riding shotgun and out me at ease. Thank you for what you do, please please drive safe and take care.

I do not miss driving in that! Good to hear from you, stay safe, awesome driving!
The things I see up at the tunnel on a daily basis make me curl up and cry like a baby too. Rain, snow, or dry roads!
