From driver to driver I gotta say you have my respect. I tried driving in the snow but I couldn’t do it. I don’t have much interest to drive in it if I don’t have to so I’ll vicariously live through you in your snowy videos
After 2 seasons in the Sierra Nevadas for an LTL company, and 1 of those 2 being one of the worst years on record. Listen to this man, he knows his stuff. I dealt with warm, wet snow that whole time. It ain’t no joke for rookies.
Another awesome video Mike. Thanks for letting us drive with you! I can be home without being home. One thing I don't miss after over 50 years there is white knuckling the roads after storms like this and dealing with people who can't drive in it. Esp new people to Co and snow. Takes alot of patience. I tip my hat to you. You're definitely a professional and know what you're doing. Stay safe.
Hi Mike, well you answered my question on how the drive to Denver was on Monday. Thanks for continuing the travels in our Majestic mountains of Colorado. Just keep on passing em. We love it. See you on the next one. Need a video of your neighborhood in Grand Lake now that the fire has gone through. Be safe.
From Minot North Dakota, our state is so flat that we send all the snow to New York city. LOL We've had very little, just a skiff and gone. Drive safe God Bless. Thanks for the video and sharing and letting me ride along
It’s nice to know that there are people out there that really have no idea what that they are talking about. Truck drivers will never lose their job. Ever!!
Hey MMM....fighting the covid here in chicago. I was diagnosed tuesday and I'm sure my hub has it now too. Grrrrr!! Tried hard all year to stay healthy and just like that we're both sick!! Anyways, while your watching the roads I'm admiring the scenery! Stay healthy and keep it between the ditches!!! Dee
Mike .. We are surely thankful for your Trucking Videos ... We comment all the time "we can now see God's creation thru Mike ... Thanks alot for your input, you are very interesting, keep it up ... Your stops along the rivers to fish are priceless, enjoy that ... Ron and Jannie
say brother you continue to be safe out there I am enjoying your videos very very much remind me of my days when I used to truck wish I can go back and do it again but unfortunately that's not in the cards for me because of an injury I want to do it so bad so you get a chance to come on here and watch your videos I've been a little over a lot of the same road that you've been over this reminds me of the good days thanks for what you do keep up the great work and be safe.
We are all so happy to be back in it with you MMM. Passing through the canyon was very beautiful and helped keep my eyes off that icy highway. Road/weather conditions make me a bit nervous but your driving never does. TY. MMM.
I thank you and appreciate you for sharing your video adventures, been watching your snow travels through the Colorado mountains- gave me ideas where to visit. Thank you a bunch! Merry Bless Christmas to you and safe travel!👍☃️☃️☃️☃️🎄❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄❄☃️☃️☃️
Much respect to you, MMM! I'd have wet my pants driving that. Exactly why I leave the winter driving to my husband. He drives like you do; cool and in control. Thank you for sharing your trips. The scenery blows my mind! Peace!
Hey Mike. Thanks for 🎥 filming your ride along videos. I think I should be all caught up by now. When I was a younger man, I use to be a Gopher and ride around coast to coast on trucks. Helping the drivers load and unload their trucks. Had some amazing experiences and learned a lot. Times were different then. Back when log books were made of paper and driver's made serious cash.
Love the video! I used to live in Glenwood, New Castle, Rifle and even Parachute. Seeing this was like being back in Colorado💕 It was cool to see my old valleys, where I once called home, in snow while sitting here in Miami🌴 God I'd love to go back and visit! Thank you for the video.
I work in retail all day for Costco wholesale. Over 15 years. Can be very stressful. So nice to come home and watch one of your videos. They are very relaxing. I enjoy riding shotgun. Thanks, Mike 👍😉😉
Like the fact that you talk. I envy your travels. The scenery, the people you come across. You are a patient man, respectful and you are great to listen to. You don't sound like s man who's old enough to have a kid who drives.
I was so excited to see you had posted another video... Love riding shotgun anytime... the snow was beautiful and your topics were on point as usual...wish I was young and pretty cause I would be all over it....Sorry but I tend to speak my mind when I'm having coffee with a little Bailey's... he he
Hey there Mountain Man Mike great view. Those kind of people think they are in a hurry until they get along side a semi,then it’s “ oh shit I didn’t want to go quite that fast “ so then they slow down. Thanks for sharing another great video.
That’s awesome ! You started the video right below my house. I went to Grand Junction to buy a snowblower. Had to take the frontage road back from Parachute, because of that jackknifed truck.
I been watching your videos before I subscribed today. I'm retired drove truck since I was 25. Only in Calif., started with a company that sub-hauled hauling tomatoes, onions, and garlic plus pulled tankers for a company hauling wine, and wine juice. I would have enjoyed driving across country if there was someone i knew that i could have been trained. I love your videos be safe with this mess we are going thru.
Love your videos. Every time i watch your videos i feel like im in colorado. Just be careful at night. I had a bad experience on 2001 i saw a body that went thrue my car. Got in shock and almost crash. I couldn't talk or moved for like 10 seconds. thanks to my wife that she holded the weel and somehow stop the car. I70 eastbound 20 miles east grand junction.
Hi mountain man! Greetings from Glasgow Scotland. I've watched all of your videos and love them. I feel as if I am always getting a driving lesson from one of the best. Not so sure I could get used to driving on the right side of the road though. Keep the videos coming Mike, they are like therapy to me. Take care and keep it between the ditches! Andy
Howdy, Hope everyone is doing well Thanks for another great.road trip from our host Mike. Riding shotgun has been an honor for me..Just wanted to thank ya for all you do for the consumer who may need what your hauling Please.be safe out there
O where o where is our Mountain Man Mike ! O where O where can he be ! With his sweet calming voice And his professional advise O where o where can you be ! Miss you !
I'm late getting here - been thawing out from our earliest-ever ICE storm here in OK. Many folks are still without power. Anyway, glad to ride along with you. Stay warm and safe.
Thanks for the ride along 2 months ago. Being a Florida girl this is dangerous beauty. A greatly appreciated job you do. 🐞🎧🎼🎶cheers🥂. Happy New Year🌟. Thanks for the post
Baby Yoda says, "No zoomy-zoom on the slicky-slick, or you go boomy-boom in the ditchy-ditch, and have to wait for a towy-tow in the cold snowy-snow". Love your show, brother! Without truckers America stops. 🇺🇸
Your right you do get better the more you do it! Gain more confidence in yourself. Thank you Mike for sharing. Have a Spooktacular rest of your day! Fall back an hour weekend.
I sure miss driving out that way my company hasn't been running that way to much in the past couple of years,I can be a challenge but I sure love it out there.
@@edwardjones9631 I feel sorry for what the truckers have to put up with on the roads ! I have a whole new perspective for them ! I’m still nervous when I get next to them or they are behind me !
Amazing video Mike. I drove that I-70, Hiway 82 corridor for so long. I miss the mountains bad. I running through the canyon as it was constructed. Quite the engineering fear. If you come through Casper, let me know.
i admire you being able to drive in this stuff lol...i really have a fear of it..i guess cuz i never really drove alot..tried to avoid it if i could :)
I always look forward to your videos. I am still playing catch up with all your other ones. You get to see so much beautiful country. I miss that. I wonder if you ever do like I did, mark locations on my map that I would like to spend time at to explore more. Thank you again for sharing. Stay safe out there! P.S. Not all minivan drivers are weird, I drive one and I like to pass people quickly so other vehicles can pass too. And I never slow down after I pass and that is all I am going to say about that. LOL!
Hey Mike! Your driving and the snow is not scary. What's scary is driving in the mountains in the spring time when the dear are migrating and lined up along the road like on the 125 in New Mexico, at night, just waiting to jump out onto the road. Now thats scary! Lol I love the sound of your diesel just humming along. I always took the 10 east from San Diego when I went to the Midwest. Never been on the 40 till I got east of Albuquerque coming off the 125, going over to OK City.
Thanks for taking me along, enjoyed the views and suspense. Stay safe in your travels. Do you ever watch Trucker Jukebox's uploads? Happy Halloween 🎃 and Happy Thanksgiving to YOU.
Go buy apparel and merch from Spirit of 1876 in Castle Rock, they plant a tree for each hat, t-shirt and other merch someone purchases. Plus you can get camping and outdoor equipment from them. Even rent trailers. If I still lived in Lakewood I’d be down there checking them out.
Couple tips for you. If your expecting freezing rain and have to stand up the wipers but a long pair of socks over them the wipers will not ice up, If you break your ice scraper, a old bank card will work. putting zip loc baggies over all mirrors will stop the mirrors from icing up as well,,,,,hope this helps on your Jeep or Rig.
Enjoying the spectacular scenery. Would be nice if you could comment occasionally on it for us non-US viewers. I have no idea what range of mountains it is, or the name of the river or even where Loveland is.
I love how beautiful the drive is. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I know nothing about driving a big rig but from a retired law enforcement I do appreciate good professional drivers.
Hey Mike, I lift my hat for truckers, I love your driving very professional and experienced. Keep doing your good work as always
Thanks for a great ride! Colorado is a beautiful state. Lived in Aspen a long time ago.
I could listen 24/7. Love the talks, love the views, love riding shotgun.
From driver to driver I gotta say you have my respect. I tried driving in the snow but I couldn’t do it. I don’t have much interest to drive in it if I don’t have to so I’ll vicariously live through you in your snowy videos
It's not that hard. If you have no other options, you get used to it fairly quickly. Driving in mud is similar, but can be more challenging.

Hola MtnManMike- Extremely good to see you again! Keep on Truckin! Just beautiful scenery! This snow doesn't burn! Be safe! Thks! Peace. ✌

Yes and yes. :O)
From Minot North Dakota, our state is so flat that we send all the snow to New York city. LOL We've had very little, just a skiff and gone. Drive safe God Bless. Thanks for the video and sharing and letting me ride along
Always good to hear from Why Not Minot
It’s nice to know that there are people out there that really have no idea what that they are talking about.
Truck drivers will never lose their job. Ever!!
Hi Mike! Wow those roads looked rough. Take care! :) I've never heard the blood clot analogy regarding traffic but I love it! haha

Glenwood canyon is so beautiful - you should talk about when they built that for folks that don't know. It was a huge engineering thing at the time.
I been watching your videos before I subscribed today. I'm retired drove truck since I was 25. Only in Calif., started with a company that sub-hauled hauling tomatoes, onions, and garlic plus pulled tankers for a company hauling wine, and wine juice.
I would have enjoyed driving across country if there was someone i knew that i could have been trained. I love your videos be safe with this mess we are going thru.
Listening to this at work right now, be safe!
Love your videos.
Every time i watch your videos i feel like im in colorado.
Just be careful at night.
I had a bad experience on 2001 i saw a body that went thrue my car.
Got in shock and almost crash.

Hey Mike at 8:10 mile post 107 that was one of my favorite sleeping spots when I was still driving over the road. Miss those days sometimes.

Get yourself up to alaska on the ice roads. Dont think you'd be out of your depth up there. All the best from the UK👍
Don't worry about other peoples know it all comments. You're the professional. Just do your thing.
That’s right keep on trucking 😃😍
peace brother!
Hey there. Commin through !
There you are !👍🏻 be safe ! Oh my gosh Mike I almost had a heart attack when that little car pulled in front of you ! 😩

Dont worry Linda, shotgunners just dont ever get involved in accidents! LOL!
