I retired in 2008 after 20 years of driving. Whenever I feel I should be back out there I look for Mike's videos. It puts me back in the saddle for a little while and allows me to stay sane. I miss the driving. Everywhere he goes, I've been, and a lot of the times in the same kind of weather on those same roads. He's a damn good driver and handles every situation exactly as I did. It makes me feel good knowing there are still good drivers out there!

I've never driven a truck, but I have rode with my dad on the truck many many times. He's a trucker of 42 years and I remember him driving in some of the worst weather ever, passing people left and right like he's not even driving on the same road as them. If they closed down the interstate because of bad weather he would always find a back road around. I remember him driving in complete white out conditions trying to make it home in time for Christmas. He's never been in an accident. One of the last true truckers out there. I just laugh when people say you need to slow down. Really just shows there experience level and how much they actually know about driving a truck. I know my dad would be trucking right along with ya in this weather.

I am a native of Denver. My grand parents are from Sterling. Some of the best drivers are from the Western States or from up North. You learn very fast what your truck,car,van can do in the snow, while it can be fun driving sideways, it's not fun driving sideways going down a cliff. Utah, Idaho, Colo, Wyoming, have some of the prettest driving canyons, the snow just flavors it. Love the West!

Thank you, we so enjoy your videos. You Truckers are the captains of the open road, piloting the ships of commerce. My father was an over-the-road trucker in a different era, before I was born, back in the 1940s. He drove a 1946 Chevrolet tracker pulling a refrigerated trailer north to Canada and back to NYC. My professional driving experiences have been in my native New York City; I drove box trucks to the airport with air-freight when I was young. Later I drove yellow taxis and limousines in the city and operated my own car for hire. I love the road and especially enjoy the magic of a snowy highway at night. May I suggest, or ask you to show your stops also; pulling into the truck plazas, etc.also: I liked the one where you showed making coffee, and your video set-up playing the Clint Eastwood movie. interested to see you picking up a trailer, connecting it to your rig. Your use of the "Jake" - or Jacob's Brake is new to me. Had not heard of this before your telling, so any added comments about that, like when you are using this and why, what it is, how it works, etc. would be of interest. Be safe -- thanks

I recall times both trailer and tractor jackknifing when only letting off the fuel; then, safely made it to the bottom, but doing over sixty. To this day.. the scarest time of my carear.

He is too fast. He should be doing 30mph or below in those conditions and not passing people like that. He shouldn't be driving fast than the speed of traffic with a tractor-trailer.

The fact that the traction control is coming on like that shows he is going too fast.

I always enjoyed driving in those conditions bc usually you have the rd to yourself. I had to deliver a load of lumber to an Amish family in Pa one Monday morning. Got there Sunday night and slept in a store parking lot. Got up next morning and it had snowed ab 4-5”. Well I head out at daybreak and got to an intersection and had to turn off on a small 2 lane rd going down side of mountain. Time as I turned on road I realized no plow or vehicle had been down rd. I forgot what grade it was, but all I can remember is praying all the way down slipping and sliding. No guard rail and probably a half mile straight drop off. Scariest ride I ever took. Rd was only a couple of miles, but I tore a few holes in the seat with butthole grippin the seat squeezed up 😫😫😫. Also from the coast in South Carolina and had never drove in snow at that point. Pulled plenty of logs out the woods on miles of slippery wet clay rods though and that paid off.

Nice driving! California has the California Lane Blockers Association. It is their creed to go slow side by side in both lanes. This kills momentum and folks with lack of throttle control start to slide. This scares them and they go even slower. Nobody understands that momentum is your friend.

That would explain why we have that problem in CO. we legalized weed and they all came over here and drove the same way.. they came .. got high.. now leave.. lol

Hey Willy. This is instructional for driving in the snow. You guys should say more: Explain why “some folks would have a lack of throttle control”. Wouldn’T you have more throttle control at higher Rpms? Does this apply to just trucks or to cars and 4WD Suvs too?. Also, if you were following behind this truck in your SUV would you stick with him and drive behind in the the snow side where he can clear at least one track for you or would you slow down and stay in the right lane with the rest of the crowd.

Driver, I do not want to be critical, just honest. Appreciate your posting besides your going too fast. In regards to an individual from California driver not familiar with snow...agree with a little of that statement. Remember A LOT of CA has areas where it snows, and people live there! Lol

I just did that stretch coming and going from King of the Hammers race in CA. It was dry for me, with a 30 mph headwind going and tailwind coming. However that can be a wicked stretch

East of Boise, ID the speed limit on I-84 is 80mph, I think trucks is 70mph. Trouble is people still try to drive those speeds when the roads are bad.
