Go get a CDL and get paid to do it!! One of the reasons I do it!!

[@adammcdonald611]

One of the most beautiful states I’ve ever driven through!!

[@marypatten4853]

Adam McDonald I am studying for a CDL as I read you message. Not sure about driving Truck but I hope to buy an class c even soon. I was hired to drive school bus this fall pending passing the written test they will train me and test me for the CDL. Thanks for the encouragement reading the test booklet is a little intimidating.

[@anthonyamendolia818]

I always learn something new everytime I watch a video..I bake and never knew about baking soda...see how we take things for granted. Just go to the store and get a box of baking soda..never knew that had to mine it. Fascinating

[@lanamarie3626]

Hi how are you doing

[@LadyMarie880]

Thank you for stories, and it's cool you get a call from your son, it's Family. They are # one. You can pick us up a few miles down the road. Lol. The trips you make are views I well never see any other way and after I have made the many times well not get tired of it. So do your thing and we well enjoy. Thanks again

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Nice Marie.. thank you for your nice thoughts and thanks for watching ☮️

[@marshallcahill4958]

I'm with you my friend, traveling out west is the best✌

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Absolutely Charlie.. thx

[@mandoramirez1205]

I was reading some comments below and was amazed at how many people don't get to see how beautiful this country is, witch makes your videos that much more important, not to mention entertaining, and a great way to review the rout you wish to take before heading out, kinda like providing a service and a very good one at that, thanks for sharing.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thank you Mando.. I wondered why people like the videos but after reading a few comments as well.. I understand now and you are correct a lot of different reasons but glad to be of service..☮️

[@rustybrown1835]

Yep been there done that, miss my days of Trucking all over this great nation, I loved being a long haul trucker and I miss it.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

I hear ya.. I miss it when I'm off for two days.. lol thx

[@ridingshotgun1251]

I agree with Rusty Brown! My wife and I drove team...now retired...still miss seeing our GREAT country!

[@ridingshotgun1251]

It's addicting..

[@grahamshillingford8229]

I've driven all over the UK and it is a magestic place but your travels across the US takes scenery into the stratosphere!! Wow what an office!!! Keep on keeping on brother!!

Hi how are you doing

[@mikefortune4796]

Hi without people like you we would never see your beautiful country as for the spectacular scenery your videos are by far the best on you tube and i am happy to subscribed

[@anthonyamendolia818]

Hi Mike...It's Helen ...ABSLOUTELY STUNNING!!!

[@bobcarter4343]

beautiful drive... what a scenic canyon. WOW

[@dewaynemiguel3349]

I drove truck 42 years i dont miss it with the new laws i retired i miss the traveling i just came through there in july comming back from pennsilvania,beutiful country

[@moonshiner5412]

I took pictures from the rest area at 3:00 a few years ago. I have watched the pictures come up as screen saver and couldn't remember where it was. Now I know and doubt that I will forget.I think I have been by the baking soda mine. I remember a mine that wasn't like any other I have ever seen. I enjoy riding with you. I live in Colorado Springs and have driven most of the roads between here and Missoula Montana. I take 2 lanes roads when possible. Keep the greasy side down!

[@frankcassidy7673]

Another great video, boy what a job you have, the scenery is so beautiful. I seem to have wasted my working life working in a factory for 45 years.. Thanks again. Drive safe

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thank you Frank.. I think the same way.. I want to see the world so I got a job that will help me do that.. thx for watching ☮️

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@sunandsage]

I used to deliver vehicles around the country - a jobs very similar to what you're do. This brought back memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@jlfcopter]

You have a great recipe for your Vlogs Mike. I really enjoy your travels out west the best. You also add good commentary and short stories as well as describing your thoughts on driving technique. MAGA!

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Lol.. thx Jerry . MAGA

[@terrimichaels3018]

Pound cake van Halen. Gotta get me some of that good downhome cooking 😆

[@finleyfendt3750]

An amazing stretch of road. The first time we approached that rock formations we thought we would parallel and go south. What a drive. Made it many, many times living in Nevada and family in Grand Junction. Thanks again Mike.

[@lanamarie3626]

Hi how are you doing today

[@craigparker3434]

I'm 66 and I didn't know that. Thanks for the information and ride. Peace.

[@lanamarie3626]

Hi how are you doing

[@martageist106]

Thanks for the info on baking soda. I never knew that it comes out of the ground. Interesting. Love your videos. Safe journey always.

[@momtoone93]

Camping in the Swell is a blast! Such beautiful scenery!

[@virginiavieu3383]

Love the ride. Great video.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thx Virginia

[@bahu1]

Again you are traveling on the same roads I have been on all summer. I was commuting to work in Boulder from Temecula then exploring on weekends. Really enjoy seeing them and hearing your commentary. New camera and mic setup is great. I would love to drop my fancy job and join you driving OTR but infirmity prevents that. Thanks for your broadcasts and I feel like you are part of our family of freedom loving Americans.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Absolutely Mark . Thx

[@sylviareynolds8463]

I didn’t know that about baking soda. Thanks for the ride.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Thanks Mike for this one! Haven’t seen a Jake one for a while! I love them! 3 brakes on that long long grade! Keep on trucking dude!❤️😀🚙

[@Obamne01]

I am a geologist and near the start of this video you will note some flat lying sediments, and very close to that you see the upturned beds of the San Rafael Swell. There have been 9 mountain building events in the west, and they generally represent a migrating eastward locus of these events. The second to last one saw compression transmitted from island arc collisions directly to the ancient crustal blocks (not the overlying sediments so much as in other orogenies). The crustal blocks adjust to the massive plate collision forces by pressing hard on the big deep continental crustal blocks causing some to go up and others to drop down, in some cases by thousands of feet. In general this caused shortening of tens of miles laterally and blocks overriding each other etc. The next and last orogenic event was the Laramide Orogeny which continued this compression environment through the Rocky Mountain Province producing the high ranges and dropped valleys like South Park. BTW, I quite enjoy absorbing the geology from your videos and I share your penchant for US-50.

[@georgewashington938]

I love driving in the western states, but live on the east coast. It is amazing to see the different climates. Within an hour or two drive you can go from a moon-scape to green forests. One side of a mountain or hill will be brown, and the other side green.

[@colin9732]

One of my favorite places to drive. Your videos have gotten much better in six years, and overall yours are the best trucking videos out there. I’m glad you’ve been able to bounce back from your leg bothering you, and continue with your videos.

[@lanamarie3626]

Hi how are you doing

[@finleyfendt3750]

Speed control. When we purchased our vehicle in Grand Junction the sales person told us we would like the cruise control. This Diesel Excursion 2002 maintains speed up hill and down hill, amazing. Down shifting on the very steep downhills and staying off the brakes. 90,000 miles on the brakes before replacement.

[@robertthompson1489]

Outstanding video---I like your videos better than the ones you mentioned for that very reason and your conversation is interesting

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thank you Robert.. I try to bring the best.. ty

[@robertthompson1489]

@@ridingshotgun1251 You do by far

[@railfaninpf]

I notice climbing those hills that there are many burn spots on the shoulder. Thirty years ago I rode with a friend of mine who was driving for Martin transport. I remember we were on HWY 15 in Arizona heading towards the Nevada border when we were climbing this big hill and there were about 5 burn spots every mile going up that hill. He said a lot of those burn spots were from people that had motor homes that didn't realize that they couldn't climb that hill at 65mph. It would overheat and burn up in the shoulder before the fire dept could ever get there.

[@sandramiller3107]

So enjoy watching your travels actually beautiful be safe❣️🙏😍

[@carolciscel1666]

You do a really good job with your videos. And I like the prairies as much as the mountains.

Beautiful drive, next time I drive to Colorado from California I will take I-70 through Utah. Thanks.

[@mikioni]

Great video🤗

[@cacjf1]

My wife and I just drove this route Eastbound last week (driving from LA to Sea IsleCity NJ). It was just some of the most beautiful countryside anywhere.

[@maritsaltrones4298]

I like your diverse routes. Much more interesting!

[@colinmanion4988]

More great country...I Was using a 550hp Volvo FH12 towing Btrains a while back, they pull well but dont like how they lag down on the hills so usually flip to manual and do it myself, computers cannot see whats ahead but we can, same on downhill I prefer to use manual to get it to hold in gear and use whatever stage jake you need. Your roads are in most cases so smooth, don't have that here in NZ

[@doskraut]

Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 It is a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na+) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO3 is a mineral and The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. I use it in brewing beer and wine.

[@jjc882011]

Stunning scenery, always enjoy it when driving pass here.

[@kennyc388]

Mike, you're ruining my life! I've got several projects around the house to get completed and I'm stuck in the mud flopped on the sofa with my little dog eating up one video after the other! At least I'm single and don't have to suffer the hen pecking all day long. LOL! I am forcing myself to break away but I shall return later this evening for my shotgun duties ! Thanks for all the fun rides, this video is one of my favorites because I love Utah and all of it's great scenery and geology. Keep it between the lines buddy.

[@marksnider8914]

Son " the shotgun duties you and I have is who's going to kill lunch , hope you got some buckshot .

Interstate 70 again I'm lovin it 😆

[@frankirwin2377]

Hey Mike also like JBG Travels, Longhaul Larry., etc and I like yours because of the different routes and your narrative. It makes it enjoyable with where you started and destination as these are some beautiful routes thru our country. Showing a bit of your rig would be interesting . Keep up the good work

[@davecunningham5285]

Hey Mike , Driving those Fed Ex trucks with the triple trailers must be a challenge in bad weather conditions

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Yes it would be.. hopefully they have twin screw drives and not singles..

[@lindabriggs5118]

Hi! I used live near I-70 up Utah Hwy 10. We'd camp alot off the interstate. There are alot of really great places to camp. I used to have an 85 acre ranch out there. It was a great place to raise my kids. I live in Western North Carolina now to be closer to my grand-daughters but I really miss Utah. Drive safe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@TheLoner70503]

What an amazing landscape.

I would love to see you do that amazing plateau again

[@oldlady6229]

So beautiful. My husband said we drove here on one of our trips. I am not sure as we drove by alot of beautiful scenery like this. I bought a poster of the USA and was going to draw in the route we took in our two cross-country trips. Now I am mad I didn't. Is this a strike-slip fault where two tectonic plates slip past each other? Regarding your son working for intelligence. We need some good people to get rid of the hackers, countries working against us, etc. Good for your son. I was hoping my grandson would have went to work for the FBI when I saw a call out on Twitter they were hiring. Unfortunately he is REALLY into being a Rap Music Producer. My grandson is very intelligent and can see him do great stuff. Maybe his rap music will be good for him, time will tell.

[@joaquinpercusses]

One of the best drives in America!

[@mussongal1232]

Some of the most spectacular landforms from Green River UT west to the Mountains! Is this still the longest stretch of highway in the US without any services? Certainly more traffic than there was when I went through there several years ago. And then you get to see Zion and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Some of God's best work. Thanks for letting me visit it again.

Hi Mike! Your videos would make beautiful jigsaw puzzles!

[@ronalddean4834]

Thanks for another ride just like being there. I'll probably never really get there but I feel like I've been there. One thing you said that's kinda scary ( truckers who have never driven in snow) how do they survive the winter. Thanks for the ride I'll be back

[@lesd9783]

Hey Michael, I'm sure you have probably heard about the snow up in Montana, but in case you haven't yet, here is what I seen online from that snow storm in Montana. Parts of Montana blanketed in several feet of snow - and it's not even October yet. Great Falls got a preliminary 9.7 inches of snow on Saturday Feet of snow have fallen and powerlines are down in the Rockies -- and it's only September. A winter storm is blowing through parts of the region this weekend, just days after the start of fall. So far, some parts of Montana have received more than three feet of snow. Browning was blanketed by 23 inches and East Glacier Park by 21 on Saturday - and the snow is still falling on Sunday. The National Weather Service's winter storm warning for portions of north central Montana is in effect until Monday morning. CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said in that time, another one to two feet of snow may fall. Great Falls got a preliminary 9.7 inches of snow on Saturday, which will set a new daily snowfall record. That number would beat the previous record in 1954 by 3.6 inches. The National Weather Service anticipates that the storm will bring damage as well as surprise. "Very heavy wet snow and strong winds will lead to downed trees, power outages, and treacherous travel conditions," the weather service said. With winds this strong and the sudden cold air interacting with the warmer mountain lake water, there is the chance for damaging waves across Flathead Lake. And given the expected wet nature of the snow, a host of potentially dangerous impacts could result. Widespread tree damage and downed power lines are possible, resulting in power outages. Agricultural damage could be caused by the record cold temperatures. Looks like it might be a rough winter this season!

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Yea I heard about it . Looking forward to it.. lol. See ya soon. Thx

[@billy2182]

Gotta be my favorite MMM video. The reefs of San Rafael. Still expecting to see Fred and Barney driving home to Bedrock from there. Peace!

Hi how are you doing

[@OdySlim]

Videos like this is where your new camera shines. The picture is almost 3-D. And no, I am not eating magic mushrooms :-)) I will be in the exact spot on Rt-70 next month. Hopefully my camera does this well. About SodA, Talc is also mined. Crazy! About chromed up trucks, I live not to far from the Giant food warehouse in Jessup, MD. Every so often they buy a totally decked out truck to give to the Safest Driver to as an incentive . Regards from Ody Slim

[@kennyc388]

People can say what they want about America and emphasize all the negativity, but if I lived anywhere else I would be busting my ass to live in the USA (legally). So many areas where the beauty goes on forever and MOST of the people are good !

[@johnnypoppyhead4116]

It comes out of the ground in the form of minerals nahcolite and trona, which are refined into soda ash (a.k.a. calcium carbonate), then turned into baking soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate), among other things. Most of it comes from the United States, which contains the world's largest trona deposit.
