Fargo ND.. Grand Forks ND to Devil's Lake ND. Over Weight For California's 40' Bridge Law!

Filmed in November 1st 2019

[@mikepech1648]

I used to deliver material to the reservation at Devil Lake. They used to have a contract with the army. They made the canvas tops for trucks and trailers. I got stuck there a weekend no backhaul. They put me up and fed me. Awesome people.

KZbin suggested your channel to me. I've been living outside of Grand Forks for over a year now (moved here from California). According to the news, the blue building under construction at 15:00 is going to be a "high bay cold store freezer." It's being built by the J. R. Simplot Company. Thanks for the ride!

[@kennyw.8644]

Just spotted this video on ND. I used to haul spuds out of Ryan Potatoes in E. Grand Forks and deliver to Super Value Warehouse in Bismarck back in the 60's. Occasionally came across 2 and also down 3. Snow and Ice, sometimes starting in October and lasting through April. Don't miss that weather. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your site.

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Wow Mike alot of DRIVING. Now I see what Fargo looks like, sort of... Drive safe. I love the way the sky looks. It looks like a ocean. Always loved that about the sky when traveling where you can see for miles.

[@bobkersten1957bk]

I am new and i like you beautifull drive videos,

[@jerryuptmor2826]

These videos are oddly very relaxing. I can't get enough of it. Thanks.

[@cindycrockettbradley5058]

I love maps! I even check out the map sometimes when I read the Bible to get it in my mind where the places were at! And my land marks to navigated in California in the valley back in the 80s were kmarts ! Lol I knew my north south east and west .

[@edwardmounsey9208]

Hi .Mike, yes I enjoyed it. Hope to see you back on the air soon. Be safe out there. Thanks Edward

[@nancylitton390]

Thanks for the ride. Take care and be safe out there.

[@azcactusflower1]

33:43 Yes we are very friendly. Born and raised in ND

[@medic2807]

The cemetery to your right is one of very few Jewish cemeteries in ND. There was a cemetery off to the left that I think is Catholic. Maybe everybody. Never could figure that out, but whatever. I was born in Grand Forks and headquartered there for school/work as a paramedic. Every corner has a story in that town. My favorite town ever.

[@LadyMarie880]

Thank you ,,,,Mike....great job...you are a natural at this video game ....you do not get two miles down the road and I'm cracking up. Who would ever think one would have to explain rear wheel drive, but your right ,people dont know and I bet have never driven before. Lol. God they don't know what there missed. Give me a 429 any day. In a candy apple red car Hey lol. Im out of here have a great day Mike.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Well another great video. You back that trailer with ease. If I was I think I'd hit the building first , hope no other trailer would be there might get to the gate. The product would be worthless.lol Watching you as I ride is a learning experience for me. Most the time you use phrases I don't know what it is but I'm kind of figuring it out. Thanks for letting us ride. As always be safe and God Bless ✌️

[@sharpshooter012345]

Thanks for the ride along

[@TheRedDevil_NC]

Love your videos. Thanks for sharing them

[@leanderpukade]

Immer wieder spannend mit dir zu fahren, würde gerne mitfahren.

[@neeterb5584]

Now I've been to North Dakota. Pretty sure I couldn't do winter there and I'd be lost without the mountains. Thanks for letting me ride shotgun. Stay safe.

[@saltydog3714]

Enjoyed the ride Mike. Thanks.

[@edwardjones9631]

Mtn Man Mike~howdy! You're truly in Big Sky, like Montana! Just hoping the load has no jumping beans, just lots of vegetable protein! Thks for good ride! Be Safe! Peace!

[@cindycrockettbradley5058]

Navy beans and ham and fried potatoes and cornbread! Yum

[@oldlady6229]

Thanks for not being in another snow storm. That last one scared me. Again you are semi-close to my friend's. They own some acreage in Gary, South Dakota. I think in this area you would be hard pressed to find many fast-food places. Women in this area stay at home and cook, or they have a part-time job. In this area (MN) remember to say Uffda if you are pissed. Also make sure you say "Well, I suppose" alot. My God son hated the movie Fargo because it emphasizes their slower life. I told him I love that movie as it reminds me of their area....the slower pace. To me that is nothing to be ashamed of. Drive safe.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

Yah, yah; I love the movie "Fargo".

[@freightdawg6762]

Im addicted to your videos keep em comin’

[@showaltermicro]

Thanks for the ride Brother

[@mikioni]

thanks for the ride 🙏🙏

[@susansarver4554]

Since I've never been in ND it was nice to so a bit, thanks.

[@steve5975]

I lived at Grand Forks Air Force Base from 1996-2001 and went to Grand Forks Central High School. Good flat eastern Dakotas... I lived there during the flood of '97.

[@arthurmacias6625]

I enjoy all your video have a safe trip on all of them

[@louisbecker5799]

One block west of your shipper in Devil's Lake, there is a ND State Highway Department maintenance facility. There's a axle scale there, too. You can see it on Google Earth on the north side of the building facing the highway. You don't even have to get out of the truck. There's a big digital read-out right there on the wall. It's free to use... that is, unless one of those gold on white vehicles you saw earlier pulls you over on the highway & escorts you in there, or the signs are up... and you happen to be overweight. Then they charge you!🤣

[@stuartroland9605]

Hello Mike, enjoying this trip to ND. . It looks cold were you loaded ,snow and frozen ground . Take Care as you head south .Be Safe . Peace .

[@mikeservais888]

Hi Mike I used to have to plan ahead where I was going some time there wasn’t many places to eat lol peace!!!

[@sbmatt]

👍 Mike, I had enjoyed watching your adventure touring of western United States. Although I don't have CDL ...too much homeboy. LOL Hopefully you inspire some to obtain one.

[@dougsigman4724]

Brrrrrr!❄️⛄️ Thanks Mike. 👍✌️🇺🇸!!

[@barrydee587]

[@robbieknutson5980]

Good driving Mike like riding with you

[@MrHatcollector2000]

There is a fork in the river that combines The Red River of the North and The Red Lake River. The Red River flows north.

[@singaporedan1597]

Nice river called the Red River that flows North there in Grand Forks

[@robbieknutson5980]

Is that Rage Against the Machine you were tapping out on the steering wheel there:-)

[@harleyhawk7959]

wild haired guess, I'd say the blue building is memory storage facility. being its located in a cold environment.

[@jr-gx7wf]

I was stationed at Grand Forks AFB once upon a time.

[@vargo0515]

CALIFORNIA AND NY CITY HATE TRUCKS SO MUCH! THEY SHOULD HAVE DROP YARDS LIKE IN MEXICO WHERE YOU DROP THEIR FREIGHT THERE AND LET SOMEONE SHUTTLE IT ! BOTH HATE TRUCKS. 😒😕

[@Rhaspun]

@Bubba B That would help the traffic situation.

[@MrFloppy131]

Really how so please tell me, I am a Trucker and I am out of California, remember you Red States wouldnt get shit if it wasnt for California and being a Port Of Call.

[@arminglibic880]

Im new to this channel, alreaddy watched like 10 vids in two days

[@bigninja2]

Excellent timing lets hit the highway.

[@jipsiemune]

Lov watching u drive set it and forget it lol i like that saying

[@jackkreighbaum783]

That right turn didn't look like a button-hook? My family and I spent six years in Minot this looks so familiar.

[@mikecromwell4245]

Sucks no stop signs in a 4way intersection.

[@pete84101]

just wondering, do you truckers travel with road maps? You were in ND and needed to get to I-90 in SD, that took probably another 3 to 4 hours, unless you meant I-94.

[@rowdy0190]

21:55 You don't see many trucks with bull bars in the U.S, they're common here in Australia.

[@ramtuff2007]

i live in grand forks ND good video

[@canadianthistle3915]

Blue building turned into a giant refrigerator building

[@robbieknutson5980]

Hey Dave good see you up here

[@robbieknutson5980]

I meant Mike I don't know I said Dave

[@TheSlagman0]

The blue frame building is going to be a giant freezer for Simplot !

[@markpinther9296]

Thanks! I wondered what the hell that was. Giant is right.

[@mrwordlie9400]

Drive safe!

[@justduff8990]

Pinto beans smothered on corn bread and sweet relish on the top....YUM and warming.

[@yellowdeer7163]

That's a lot of Frijoles!

[@stantheman9689]

Yes definitely blue scaffolding, After they're done if you pass by again,, see what kind of face is on the building,, Usually that will let you know why there's so much scaffolding Or you can look it up on Google Earth and Google street maps in about 1-2 Year's

[@beinghuman3225]

ND hand book stats that whoever approaches first in an unmarked has the right of way. If approached at same time, person on the right goes first

[@SAHamel_]

yes, I'm starving, lets stop somewhere and grab a bite! LOL

[@daniel1571]

I get cold just thinking about North Dakota

[@maxim430]

Does everybody own a darn pick up out there?

[@duddlyinfargo8543]

My home town,Just let me off at the corner. HeHe

[@karenecurran7895]

Heard Colorado person hit lottery twice in same day. Could this be our driver?

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

If you found a good place to eat, you have to think about a big enough place to pull into with your tractor trailer truck. What was the most awkwardest spot you got yourself into, with the size of a truck like you are driving now? Peace be with you as well.

[@mrjlbarrett5556]

The last time I tried that 100 dollars an hour

[@heatherbradley5030]

Not sure if you can help this but your mic makes a ton of noise. Just sayin..love your vids though 👍

[@SignorNessuno65]

That's how people are nowadays!

[@MrHatcollector2000]

The blue building your talking about is a Freezer for potato products

[@toddc5744]

Ventu-sky... "ven-chu-sky" not ven-tusky lol

[@LoginusLagonow]

[@natetrain6968]

Your were mention drivers don't know how to read a map I'm been having trouble finding Atlas at a truck stop

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Didn't say that.. I said they don't use a map. They use GPS. they do still have road atlas at truck stops.. mostly at the major stops..

[@omargonzalez6299]

Hola amigo

[@alejandradelpilarpizarroar2542]

Hi, MIKE how are you my ángel face

[@stantheman9689]

Smart people will always buy a map, The stupid ones will Bother you for directions, And I will always be a lot of those🤣

[@johnnypoppyhead4116]

See this video 40 years latter ..we hurt our backs ..we should told truck drive to come back in morning when office was open & go sleep some where... as u say ..It is what it is ...lol
