Every time I see a blue rig on the highway, I almost break my neck trying to see if a rubber chicken is hanging on the shotgun window. If ever I get to see mr. chicken you’ll know. Be honking my horn like crazy 😜. Sweet riding.
Im glad you are doing videos again, ive been home since December. I had shoulder surgery on December 16th, the i was diagnosed with prostate cancer had to have surgery, i have enjoyed all your videos thx mike helped my recovery go a little smoother. Be safe out there mike.
I am new to your channel. From what i see, i am enjoying to riding along and the beautiful view from your office widow. Be safe out there. I will be watching out for the next video.
Thanks again Mike for sharing the videos with me, love ridding shot gun.the lady at the truck stop was a nice lady glad you filmed it, let's me know that there's still some good people out there.be safe out there .Peace and much respect.
I live near the truck stop T&A in Sweetwater. My buddy works at the truck oil change place next to it. You must have made this vid a few days ago when we had that lightning show. It was one of the most spectacular lightning storms I've seen in 71 year. The flashes were much brighter than usual. I used to live up there in Arvada working local deliver around the front range. So I know your area too. I once delivered a pallet of bleach and a pallet of ammonia to the state capital building...and no one realized the bottles were leaking and mixing on the floor. Emptied the capital building out during session. I think that was in 1980. Good luck going up that road. I seen that building on the news today with protesters all over the place. Reminded me of the leaking delivery. There was a place along I-70 in Arvada at the time that did custom bottling of those chemicals. They got a bad batch of plastic jugs. It made the news that night.
I enjoy your u tubes . I’m Canadian up here . You explain your county and great views .l think I’m in the truck . I get to see America in a good way and hear about it . Keep rolling.
Nice weather for that run! On 84 through Lubbock, I used to live there for many years. My best friend lives in Farwell near the NM line, you prob went through there too.
M MIKE, your eye LENS see more than your camera LENS are capturing FOR ME. Maybe i m alone in this. I still spend a lot of my time riding with you. THANK YOU FOR ALL the highways thru the HILLS. I ENJOY THE TIME.
Hello Mike ,enjoying the talk on your run back to Denver . I like the look of your Caddy on the last video ,looked clean an sharp with a good shine .I am not in a politacl mode right now so I will not comment on the left today .Take care . See Ya . Peace .
I am with you Riding Shotgun. I am an advocate of freedom. I love America. I came here to better my life and make my dream come through. I count my blessings for what America has done for me and my family. We fulfilled our goals in life by working hard and become stable in life. We became citizens by following the laws of the land. We pay taxes, not take advantage of other peoples taxes or a welfare.
Good to see you again, Mike. I agree with Toni, in my drives on 1-70 from Rifle to Denver and back i'm always looking for those blue trucks and white trailers. Saw two on Wednesday on my way back home. Say, do you travel CO 9 from I-70 to Kremmling or Berthoud Pass? Did that this week. Nice mountain views to the west. Safe travels.
No load is the only way to get in the stock market. A good friend told me how to get out of the stock market with a million dollars......start with two million
#74 Good morning, Mike. I'm retired and enjoyed your video. I believe all major highways should have passing lanes every two miles as this is the 21st century. The Highway is the Happy Yellow Brick Road to make money and a living!
Hi Mike: I agree with the comment regarding investing, use no load funds. Vanguard has a great deal of choices, probably some monthly investment plans. Global warming, been going on since the end of the ice age some 15,000 years ago. When glacier bay in Alaska was discovered, around 1700 the glacier was at the mouth of the bay. Today it’s a seventy mile trip from the mouth to the glacier. There’s nothing we can do to stop the warming. Thanks for the ride, be safe, we’ll see you next trip. Edward
Hey Mike, if you ever do go down 287 please make a video, Lamar is my hometown n would love to see if anything has changed besides the size of the potholes! Lol, love ridin’ shotgun, stay safe
@Riding Shotgun I was surprised and shocked when you said you're 58, the reason why is because you have the voice of a 28 year old, and you clinch it when you shout "PEACCEE!!!!!" at the end of your videos. Thank you for letting me ride shotgun with you and see our beautiful country. PEACE!..... I forgot to mention, you're a breath of fresh air listening to your views about lots of different things like masks & not wanting to wear them, I also don't want to. Also your views on Trump I agree with, even though I'm independent I lean towards Republicans, TRUMP 2020, let's hope he gets reelected.
Buddy Mike, speaking of stocks buy these PLUG, DDD, VECO, LILA, PGEN, VSTM, AEO , GBTC & PACB and let it ride for 2 to 3 years or more.. And good luck!
After skimming the contacts below, I agree with most of them.... I look at every blue Volvo to see if Mr Chicken is hanging and I always look the map up and follow you... I wish Y T would allow comments on politics but stuff happens... Glad I'm in the red state of Alabama...
There is Window "UV Film" that nobody would even know is on there that would stop a TON of that Heat coming through the side Windows, just so you know! " PEACE" See Ya
Yeah, I learned the ' You drive your truck, I will drive mine ' about fifty years ago and ' If you wanted to be in front of me you should have spent less time flirting with the truck stop waitress. '
In Australia mike our politics is the right and far right ,socialism is a swear word and to mention it in any form could get you into a bit of trouble with the natives ..god bless all heavy transport drivers 🙏🇦🇺🇺🇸
Another thing I've been listening to you I've been watching you I watch you for like 5 hours last night you said that you have to be at certain places at certain times to either unload or load but yet it takes you a while to get there now who is scheduling your appointments to be here at certain places is it your boss supervisor what are you supposed to go over the speed limit and break the law and order to make these people happy you have to have a leeway in there because you got to figure like in the winter or at the high winds or rain where it floods certain areas you have to have a leeway somewhere to where you don't have to be there at a certain time to unload or to load
I have one to beat your highway drivers, I am driving on Route 130 in New Jersey, the deadiest highway in Jersey...But the Nimrods, come barreling up the side roads, sit there sit there sit there , looking see you coming, you are getting closer moving at 55 MPH they have to see me and they pull out...COME ON FOLKS I KNOW THIS HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU TOO!!!
Raider Expresses slow speed does more harm than good. Yeah there getting the best fuel economy, but there impeding traffic. I don’t like running 287 cause of them
I heard a great explanation for why this particular global temperature increase is important for us humans. It is true, as you say, that over time the earth has had warm periods and cool periods. This heating and cooling has been due, however, to increased or decreased numbers and volumes of periodic volcanic eruptions around the planet. This is readily provable through geologic layering all over the earth showing the various previous eruptions in the age of the rocks. Over the history of the earth, CO2 has been measured (in rocks and in ice cores) and its percentage of our air has always stayed in a fairly steady range depending on whether the earth has been experiencing high volcanic action (high CO2) or low volcanic action (low CO2 measurements). The problem for humans NOW is that while the earth is in a period of LOW volcanic eruptions the CO2 levels are actually soaring. Why would that be? Who cares? Well, these high CO2 levels trap heat at the surface and sure enough the overall earth temperature is rising rapidly. It will eventually (and not too long from now actually) take a toll on how and where humans can live (and eat). We should react sooner than later. We probably won't. We won't be looked back at fondly.
Many of the staunchest defenders of MAN-CAUSED global warming, also say that we've irreversibly damaged the Earth's Plate Tectonics System, not only with the erection of dams and skyscrapers, but by way too much testing of Atomic Bombs and Hydrogen Bombs, and, oh yes, Conventional Bombing during WW II, with bombs of unprecedented power.
I don't know how long ago this video was put out on but yeah Facebook I haven't been on Facebook for over a year now they keep wanting me to go on there but I just don't want to go on there I've been thrown off of Facebook a few times for freedom of speech and it's okay for them to sell your information to companies but yet they tell you you can't say certain things or they'll throw you off of Facebook then they should be selling our information we have freedom of speech in this country and more people need to put it out there
Why is it you have to have these loads at certain places at certain times and then you got to call number all while we're not going to be there until next day but yet they want you to be there on time to deliver the product you know you truckers are what keeps this country going but these big factories are these distribution centers will not get up off their butts and get things done in order for you guys to go and move on and deliver other loads to other people I watch a lot of these videos and these people need to get up off their butts and do something they're slowing things down in this country
I may have already commented on this older video, but dang, you said that truckers dying more with Obama log. You need to retire. You have those sweet young grandkids that need their grandpa around....especially now in these crazy times.
Hi Mountain Man Mike. Too bad the cities are having riots because of the death of George Floyd. Hope you don’t get caught up in it on your travels. They were blocking major roads in LA and other cities.
Every time I see a blue rig on the highway, I almost break my neck trying to see if a rubber chicken is hanging on the shotgun window. If ever I get to see mr. chicken you’ll know. Be honking my horn like crazy 😜. Sweet riding.
Me, too! LOL

Me too ! I’m always on the look out for Mike !
