[@twellgood9109]

You left out the occasional lane departure warning because he's more worried about filming content than his driving.

[@jafo766]

@@twellgood9109 Bob Ross brushes that out !

[@david9192]

Born and raided in Los Angeles area. I remember the Santa Ana winds was crazy some years. One year blew out over 100 brand new roll up doors in the Rancho Cucamonga area!

[@ecole3139]

[@alsup11]

Hey Mountain Man Mike. Great to see you again. Love riding shotgun with you. Keep up what you doing. Stay safe.

[@deniseboudreau324]

Two things made my day. Your video and I got released from physical therapy which I've been in since my accident in December. Looking forward to your next video.

[@majorpayne4098]

Good to see you on the road again Mike. Must be near time to throw a line and catch a little dinner in the open air Cafe......

[@marceechristofferson6648]

With all the dangers of truck driving i think the wind would absolutely be the scariest, I have followed you for a lot of years now and you still amaze me at the way you handle everything. You made my day again. ✌

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@empeamparo4501]

You inspired me Mountain man Mike. I’m scared of gusty wind just driving my Car from Vegas to I-215 South during Windy season . I salute your excellent driving skills.

[@geraldjones8032]

Enjoyed the ride today. Yes I remember those wind’s when I lived in Southern California. Love your videos they are really great. Be safe and catch you on the next one..

[@scottsasser7749]

I sure would like to hear what the mother truckers think when you're just keep hauling ass you just drive Blow by every one of them truckers on that stretch of highway because they're afraid of the Wind you are a dang good driver and thank you for your video

[@kenhofer8063]

Has nothing to do with good driver

[@greystash998]

I Love the sound of the Engine.😎

[@rachelfellers1126]

Hi Mike. So nice to see a new video from you. I came across one of your Armageddon videos the other day and had to stop and watch it.

[@nofider1]

Thanks for the upload Mike, Keep safe , glad your OK.

[@christinesales905]

Nice to see your video again, where have you been? Know your weather is different there, you seem to handle most conditions. Thank you for keeping products moving, most important. Life's cycle. Stay safe.

[@katielin2379]

Thanks for driving thru my neck of the woods, Mojave. Its not always windy. Space X and Virgin Galactic are at the airport you passed at 4 min mark to the right.

[@marcbyrnes293]

Drive safe MM Mike

[@Sandman253]

Mike;- I used to work wieghbridges too and I've had the driver step out to meet the wieght. Mainly on the steers.

[@masterspin7796]

Heading north on 580 to Altamont and Livermore Calif...It try's to blow me across the freeway lanes on my 1250 R/T motorcycle hence.."the wind mills"..scary AF!

[@shanesjourney7603]

Hi best wishes from Ireland I'm Shane

[@lorenlieder9789]

Mike you can go up to 36,000 on your drives and Trailer axles in Colorado and Wyoming on the interstate. Wyoming you can over 80,000 on the interstate if you have a permit and more axles. Colo gross on the Interstate is 80,000.And up to 94,000 on secondary roads with proper permit and up to 40,000 on your drives and trailer axles.

[@angoor101]

I used to live in Southern California in the 90s. I was on my home with my girlfriend from a Vegas weekend on my motorcycle and the winds had picked up at the highest point on the highway around Big Bear mountains that I had to lean more than 45 degrees at times and suddenly no wind for a couple of seconds and then on again. It was the scariest ride of my life. I said God if you get us home in one piece I’ll never get on a bike again. I lied to him, of course and upgraded to a new Goldwing in the early 2000s. I’m sure I’ll have some explaining to do when I cross into the land of the dead.

[@spookygirl7761]

[@dennisjohnstone4739]

Hi Mike, lovely trip with the wind and dust. I've driven through a few dust storms here in Australia, the worst was when it rained towards the end of it, muddy windscreen and wipers not much fun. Regarding light vehicles driving so close behind you can't see them until suddenly they're beside you, happens over here too! At least when it's sunny you can see their shadow but I dislike them being so close as you don't know what they might do next. Keep safe and keep the shiny side up. Peace brother !

[@debbiebjorklund3241]

Hi Mike, love hearing about your weather and your truck weight. Hey ya know you never need to talk on my acct.. I like your voice, and news and stuff about ya rig an you ❤

[@ToddDouglasFox]

Just in time! My sleep inducer vlogger guy! I will sleep some tonight!

[@happyhighway106]

White knuckle driving, Yup! I've done that, too! I thought I was going to flip in Wyoming, but came through safely! Just have to be careful. Motorhomes are light and high --- they catch the wind very well, like a sail boat. A heavy "Hemphill Brothers" bus at 66,000 lbs. is required, if challenging the wind in a RV. Happiness is The Highway!

[@judithwilber2540]

wb mmm,,long time between takes :) hope all is well with you and your family

[@Bernie5172]

50 years ago we used to be given a 10% leeway in weights.

[@flyboy6876]

I drove in eastern Montana a lot if I didn't drive in the high wind not a single drop of freight would be moved

[@onerichzoejulien6639]

CA 58 west stretch of highway is treacherous especially west from kingsman AZ to Mojave

[@dalejensen5828]

55 MPH truck speed limit. Like the old days, the nationwide 55 MPH speed limit for all vehicles that lasted 13 years, longer in some states.

[@calparsons2502]

Used to drive a rig with a permanent load that weighed over 80,000 with full tanks, we always weighed the truck before we fueled so we knew how many gallons of fuel to put in to be legal. Have a dump truck that has a legal gross of 33,000 lbs, came out of the quarry one time grossing 40,000....short way to go took it there. Drove in a high head on wind in Victorville, CA, couldn't get the truck over 30 mph the wind was pushing so hard, was going west bound. In VA going south , had a bad cross wind, 79000 lbs, trailer tracked 3 ft to one side because of the wind. Not a fun way to drive.

[@jamesmills9240]

I love riding shotgun, now worries, no log book. We some how magically skip the traffic jams. It don't get no better than this.

[@pickakacamperjohn2262]

Out run the Wind! ✌️

[@KeepItMoving999]

Mountain man can you buckle up and upload more, it's summer already 👊👊

[@truckindawg1]

When it comes to High-wind, I will not drive in wind over 40 miles an hour unless I am at least 70,000 pounds, 75-80,000 in 50 plus mph. And even then it’s a judgment call. I hate wind just as much as I hate snow and ice. You super truckers can say whatever you want, my 2.75 million safe miles speak for themselves !

[@Franco1395]

Yup. High winds suck

[@Mau-map3]

2.76 safe miles hiere

[@azcactusflower1]

36:15 If you're heavy on 395, take Air Expressway to 15

[@MVMHansOlsson]

👍👍👍

[@jwardcomo]

Yay. Finally!

[@lugnut839]

👍🇺🇸

[@herroausw]

I am really brathering your excellent Videos!

[@scottontheboat2340]

You also get weight allowance for APU

[@DD-bn2mx]

I stopped watching after 10 minutes yesterday, because it was cloudy out there ). I will finish this video today, it is safer.

[@wolfgangresch1650]

💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Set it and ferget it 🎉😂

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

California looks like the entrance to Hell.

[@tyount1984]

Northh Carolina allows 38k on tandems and South Carolina allows 36500 on tandems and florida allows 44k on tandems

[@larimar48]

Did the video shut off early?

[@doskraut]

Dude, 58 is nothing during our santa anas. I 215 and 10 is to worse, fully loaded trucks get put on their side's even parked.

[@fumanchu9770]

I THOUGHT AN APU ALLOWED 400 MORE POUNDS

[@calparsons2502]

What is means when the scale is CLOSED ..chickens loose on scales, extreme danger.

[@jackball4201]

Only two comments, Cackala LOL. So what was the ticket for, just asking for a friend?

[@tomm4423]

Would you rather have ex-pres. Rump?

[@GuyBretches-c8e]

Very blurry vidio this time?

[@matthewggreen]

It is not legal to just plug a tire. Must be patched from inside no more than 3/8 in size and can't be too close to the sidewall.

[@suepeterson163]

I don't like the wind at all!

[@nancychughesredfern8604]

Cling on ( black bag )

[@dan-fr9dn]

they just went to sleep

[@twellgood9109]

1:20 "Those guys got blown over because they don't know how to drive in the wind and we do." Spoken like a true arrogant SuppaTrucka. 3:29 "You can still get blown over parked. Wonder why they wanted to park right here." Typical of SuppaTrucka Mike. Chastise people parking where they did to be safe and criticize those that didn't and were blown over. 32:08 So that semi driver that you were so quick to be judgemental about at 25:20 wasn't as bad a driver that you railed about him being? Say it ain't so.

[@howardnielsen6220]

Pull in the side Mirrors don’t watch the trailers

[@jesseweed2144]

Fing tailgaters

[@ronaldallen8765]

Let you tell it everything was just fine with Trump.

[@pyewacketpeggy8329]

And people knock Illinois? This is just scrub. Love you, but I don’t see why people in California get so arrogant.

[@jp58]

No sound 😮

[@AllanONeal-yw4ly]

Your not very bright, everyone that has a CDL knows the commercial laws. And and telling a woman it's ok to drive in a massive wind storm while she isn't comfortable with it, well that explains everything about you
