Many a trucker saved my butt when traveling on unfamiliar mountain roads. I would get a good distance behind them, when they sped up or slowed down I followed suit. Also kept me from getting speeding tickets.
Your last hoorah for this winter? The fun is over now! Boring spring, summer and fall! We passengers can relax and enjoy the other seasons you take us thru! It's been interesting, I will say that!😃 You're the best!
Yes following a trucker in unfamiliar conditions is a no brainer. I will initially come close enough to the truck I wish to follow so the driver can identify me. I want him to know I am not a highway patrol. Then I will back off to a respectful distance and follow. My uncle was a truck driver who taught me, old school respect and sense with sharing the road with trucks. Here is some advice he would be happy to hear me share. People, when behind a truck and trailer, always stay at a distance where you are able to see at least one of his/her mirrors. That means they can see you. Thank you Uncle Les Fritch. He is gone but not forgotten.
It's cool you truckers give Obama credit for all the lives saved by those regulations. That's really nice of you! I am a big fan of not being killed by some sleepy cowboy, just because some beer HAD to get to Denver...
Thank you for sharing your travels. I enjoy the "educational " value as you tell your side of the story behind the wheel of a big truck/tractor and trailer.
With the feel you have for that truck you would have been a hell of a race car driver. Just like that truck that passed you , you were determined to catch him. This ride had my butt drawn up the whole ride. Thanks Craig
Mike have you ever considered when trucking day are done becoming an instructor for the DOT and trainee Truckers? With your valued years of service to the trucking industry I'd think you would make an ideal instructor!! Just an idea fro you to think about. Cheers.
Great video Mountain Man Mike. You sure can tell that you know the roads and snowy conditions better that those other truckers. And you are doing it all safely. Happy trails Mike.
Sometimes that's the way it is when u gotta go gotta go I've been to green river Utah many times it used to be a good place to sleep I don't know about now it's been some years since the good old days anyways thanks for the ride along mountain man Mike. Be safe out there in America
I’m with you about trucks getting right in front of you when there’s nobody around. Normally it’s not bad unless it’s raining or snowing then I have a problem with it
I try to watch your videos. I'm not surprised we get the big pile ups in tee winter with driving styles like yours. You show you can do it and others try to duplicate without your experience. I'm not telling you what to do, but I'm worried this may give others ideas that they can't handle.
Katie S, Thank you so much for your reply. Some americans love to criticize Barak for everything and anything and I don't understand why. Again thanks and have a blessed day.
Your engine has a great vibe...sound of great power, with a bass! As a highways lover, your videos captivate me. I wish I would emulate you and make some.
OMG! MIKE U HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS 1 PARTICULAR VIDEO MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!🥲 Because 2 of the trucks u happen to pass were family that aren't here any more, and when I saw the company on the trailer I slowed the video down to see what trucks, 🥺😢 The 1st 1 was Brother and the 2nd 1 was Dad. They were on their way home that night cuz my nephew was born so they were trying to get home as fast as they could but u know I 70 and snow LOL. Cuz it was brother's son that happened to born early so my dad met up with him to make sure that he made home that night. Which they did, it was just few months later we lost my brother and then dad 2 months later they both were home then too. Thank you so much for making this video, now I have a video that I can show my nephew how Daddy and GPA were racing too get home to see u on the night he was born thats going to be very special since we shut down the company after Dad passed away. So, once again, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! YOU JUST MADE THE START OF THE NEW YEAR A VERY BRIGHT ONE FOR ME, MY FAMILY IS GOING TO FLIP THEIR WIGGS LOL WHEN I SHOW THEM THIS!! THANK YOU MIKE FOR GIVING US 1 LAST TRUCKIN CLOSURE! GOD BLESS YOU, ND KEEP YOU SAFE OUT THERE, KEEP ON A TRUCKIN SEE YA ON THE FLIP SIDE MUCH LOVE❤🥲
Hi Mike: Interesting video, not much scenery lol. Seems as if you had everything under control. I’m glad it’s you not I in the driver’s seat, feel safer. Look for you on the next leg, keep em coming. Thank you, Edwad
thankyou Mike, as always beautifully done.... rest well as you sounded tired at the start. I do enjoy the ride in the snow,lol must be a good Canadian right......Up here we can start driving in snow from Oct. to April....hahahahahah so keep up the videos ,enjoy
Some guys just dont get it when using the hammer lane. If i am out there i want you to be able to see a long ways off too if i pass...Hell PA on I 80 at night its so rough we run the hammer lane and pass on the right.....for over 40 years now... 👍👍👍👍👍 Mike
I appreciate the instructional videos. I drove through some hairy areas while it was snowing on I-80 in Wyoming last night, and I took some of your suggestions and kept the speed up pretty good. I have 26,000 on my drives
Btw, is a triple driver able to brake just the last trailor? (Greetings from Germany, where we don't drive triples, but I think under some road conditions it's pretty obvious just to brake the very last trailer while going downhill.)
Here it is 9:00 pm mountain daylight time Tuesday Sept 14,2021. Just had to go back in the RIDING SHOTGUN archives and pull out another good one. Oh wait, they are all good. Wonder what the winter in the Colorado mountains will be like this winter? i guess i will just have to wait and see. Keep going Mike, we are behind you all the way. HA SEE YA
Great video and commentary, rarely do night driving or have those conditions. Good motto of smooth driving, no sharp movements or brakes and buckets of experience, plus know your limits and what your vehicle can handle.
I notice over Tehachapi, CalTrans uses a cinder cone pumice material similar to old school railroad ballast, only this stuff is about 1/8" in size. It's kind of a dark gray/and dark red mix.
Riding shot gun with you doing great job driving on the Snow. This is 2022 as I'm watvhing.. But I saw on news this morning that Hwy 49 closed because with snow lots of Semi's and cars all smashed tovether. Hope everyone is okay.
I would really like to see you fishing sometime to see what kind of lures and rod and reel you use. you most likely have different lures then we do in sweden.
Road salt turns your vehicle white after it drys Mike. I live and drive in Minnesota so I know. Rinse off the underbody and wash 1 a week. No matter the temperature. So find a wash with a good blow dryer when its cold.
Sir Mike !!! Thanks as you showed getting to your stop !!!! Enjoyed the ride as Don't get to travel those roads anymore !! Alot said about snow driving ,,but years OTR will train you to know what to do for sure !!!! Seen many wrecks with the inexperienced Drivers !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""
really, really luv your vids. Sure wish you would only do 30 min ones. hard, for me, to keep a attention span going longer than that. Keep on trucking!
#182 Good morning, Mike. I have a crazy idea? Build a fifty ton "Snow Mobile" like a giant Ski-Doo with a freight box and steering skies in front and a massive snow mobile track that drives you along the road through the mountains with "no worries".
I love your channel. I just randomly watched a video, and I was hooked! I find it oddly relaxing. I also find the information you give, while chatting, fascinating. Question: What is a "jake", I gather it refers to the breaking system. Could you explain? Thanks. Stay safe out there!
You got any of that good Kansas and Colorado snow footage from last week? I saw the white outs on the weather channel and was anxious to see if you were in any of that lol.
OLA AMIGO AMU DO BRASIL AND I FOLLOW YOUR VIDEOS, I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES AND WORK AS A TRUCK DRIVER, MORE SUFFICIENT A DIVING ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER AND I WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR, SINCE THE FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND WATCHING ITS VIDEOS DESTROY ME AND I SEE HOW AND LIFE AI ON THE ROADS OF THE UNITED STATES, I AM YOUR FRIEND ON THE ROAD STAY WITH GOD FRIEND AND REMEMBER IF YOU NEVER THIS SO IN THIS LIFE GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU THE NATURE REVEALS THAT THERE IS A VALEW BROTHER CREATOR,
Hey Mountain Man, @30:00 I don't hear you talk too much about the double and triple trailers, other than to call them Rocky Mountain doubles. What's the deal with those? Where are they legal, how much can they haul, do they fit on scales, what's it like to drive them, how do they handle in weather and wind, etc? I remember years ago there was a lot of chatter about legalizing them in certain states. I guess they're allowed on the roads now, but I don't really know too much about them. Maybe you can share some insights into how they handle. Keep on rolling! ...
Hi Mike, what is Mexican overdrive? My dad and husband were both truckers but they are no longer here to ask them. I enjoy your videos, especially in Colorado. I lived in Estes Park for 23 years, your neighbor, but didn’t get to the southern mountains in Colorado. So I enjoy seeing what it looks like since I had to move out of the mountains last year. You are great driver with that 18 wheeler. Best of travels to ya.
This section crosses the San Rafael Swell. 106 miles IIRC between Salina and Green River without any gas stations. Not a problem for you truckers but a BIG issue for motorcyclists going cross country. If I ever get out that way I'll have to keep it in mind and not forget. What kind of range do you normally get out of your truck? Fuel capacity? Great video as usual. Peace!
One thing I’ve noticed these days are there are lots of trucks on the highways but fewer expreanced drivers I understand that it takes time to collect knowledge and gain the experience... just saying like...Mick Yorkshire England.ps..have you ever thought of being an ice road Trucker Mike...??? Lol.
Wondering your thoughts on the recent 100 car/truck pileup on I-80? If you would have been traveling that stretch at the time, would you have been able to avoid being part of the pile-up?
I have enjoyed your videos for a while now. But you calling the DOT driving regulations Obama's clock more than a bit misleading your viewers. 98% of the DOT drive time regulations were written and in effect before Obama became president. I know, I drove OTR. I was trained in 2009, same year Obama took office and those driving hour regulations had been in place for years before I was trained. While I couldn't care less what anyone's political leanings are, but calling it Obama's clock is just an outright lie. You do the trucking industry a disservice making those kinds of statement.
I noticed you never encounter any ‘deer’ That will slow you done a bit weather you like it or not. In my neck of the woods there is at least one deer that crosses the highway every time I take a short drive in ‘Minnesota ‘. What’s your opinion on that ?
There were 4,657 large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2017, a 10% increase from the year before, according to a May report issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, an agency of the Transportation Department. Sixty of the truckers in these accidents were identified as “asleep or fatigued,” although the National Transportation Safety Board has said this type of driver impairment is likely underreported on police crash forms. If truckers were not so stupid, we wouldn't have needed the Obama clock.
Nunya, I know I'm two years behind here on commenting, but the ignorant are ignorant of their ignorance. You prove this! Before the "Obama clock", drivers could stop & sleep whenever they got tired at any time of the day & not lose driving hours. Now drivers have to keep going straight through no matter what to drive their hours, they cannot stop to rest or they lose that driving time, the clock keeps going even if the driver stops, so they lose those hours that they stop to rest. In the time before the "Obama clock" if they shut down when they were tired, they didn't lose those hours because they counted as time off, then when they resumed driving the clock would start up again, not resulting in lost hours. So, before you open your bullshit spewing mouth & calling truck drivers stupid, maybe try doing some research first! You've shown who is truly stupid here, & it sure isn't the truck drivers! Yes, I drove truck for years, am retired now though. So yes I know what I am talking about.

I’m with you about trucks getting right in front of you when there’s nobody around. Normally it’s not bad unless it’s raining or snowing then I have a problem with it
You need the sticker that says “lead or follow but stay the F**K out of my way”. Lol. Thanks for the ride Mike.
It looks really cold....brrrr. I love I-70 in the summer though...…. good truckn'
Outstanding- many many teachable moments -thanks brother 👍

Looks like some dangerous stuff to be driving on. Look like you’re doing a great job. Be careful keep it Between the lines. 👍☕️🍩
Katie S,

Thanks Mike good ride along in the snow peace!!!
You are definitely one of the best when it comes to driving a big rig. Most people wouldn’t drive threw this in a car much less a big rig.
Hello from NM...you have such an amazing videos of your work traveling to and from with us in shotgun side...Thx..awesome and cool.
I remember when Green River had one truck stop with a gravel parking lot. You do a great job running these roads my friend.
Great Driving that nice rig. havin fun on the road trips thx @ Riding Shotgun.
Some guys just dont get it when using the hammer lane. If i am out there i want you to be able to see a long ways off too if i pass...Hell PA on I 80 at night its so rough we run the hammer lane and pass on the right.....for over 40 years now... 👍👍👍👍👍 Mike

Btw, is a triple driver able to brake just the last trailor? (Greetings from Germany, where we don't drive triples, but I think under some road conditions it's pretty obvious just to brake the very last trailer while going downhill.)
Nice driving Mike, appreciate the video, be safe!

I like this show. I grew up on my dads truck, whenever possible. I really enjoyed it. But not for a career commitment.😊
WOW Mike What A Ride Amazing Video Please Safe Take Care
Thanks, Mike!
That guy should know better than get in front of you!
He wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer...can't believe he got over in front of us that close...
I notice over Tehachapi, CalTrans uses a cinder cone pumice material similar to old school railroad ballast, only this stuff is about 1/8" in size. It's kind of a dark gray/and dark red mix.
Woosah Mike. Woosah.
great job fellow trucker up in B.C.

I would really like to see you fishing sometime to see what kind of lures and rod and reel you use.
you most likely have different lures then we do in sweden.
That plow truck is just ripping up the road no need for that.
DON"T NEED NO STINKIN CHAINS...BUT ITS THE LAWWWW!! BREAKIN THE LAW BREAKIN THE LAW!!
Judas priest awesome song
You are the Bomb Mike ! You should be an instructor . PEACE Mike :)

I love Riding Shogunt i, am from La Serena city in Chile 🇨🇱
Good deal Mike!
really, really luv your vids. Sure wish you would only do 30 min ones. hard, for me, to keep a attention span going longer than that. Keep on trucking!
One hell of a driver knows that the brake is not your friend in this weather.
#182 Good morning, Mike. I have a crazy idea? Build a fifty ton "Snow Mobile" like a giant Ski-Doo with a freight box and steering skies in front and a massive snow mobile track that drives you along the road through the mountains with "no worries".
Flicker Vertigo is also a problem with snow at night.
when does the weather get better for a safe vacation trip to Utah?

Interesting how some people can be racist without even trying
You got any of that good Kansas and Colorado snow footage from last week? I saw the white outs on the weather channel and was anxious to see if you were in any of that lol.
wet snow the worst, at least it didnt accumulate more. start getting in 3 and 4 inch in that wet, starts to get some pucker.

I noticed you never encounter any ‘deer’
That will slow you done a bit weather you like it or not.
In my neck of the woods there is at least one deer that crosses the highway every time I take a short drive in ‘Minnesota ‘.
What’s your opinion on that ?
he wanted to help wash your truck

Yes, I drove truck for years, am retired now though. So yes I know what I am talking about.
What is the truckers lingo for the double and triple hitch trailers? Mostly with FedEx?
In Canada called "trains or B-trains".
Wiggle wagons ....
Hey MMM, did I hear you say once that you're rockin an auto transmission or are you a gear jammer? Just curious.
Wayne Foster he rockin auto now
I CALL SHOTGUN.
What is an obama clock?
why were all those people using hazard light?? is it not that common to drive on snow there?? looks like all those car drivers were scared...
Where are the other ones? (Except the guy who overtook you, trucker's delight ...)
