Mike's voice! While watching the video (3 days ago) I thought that the narrator's voice was the voice of actor Christopher Walken. Then it turned out to be the voice of Mike Pierce aka Riding Shotgun.

I started watching you a few months ago. My husband died Feb.17th and now I even watch reruns of your videos as for some strange reason I find your voice and chit chat calming. I really like the snow videos...nail biters at times. Thank you for your videos.

Never apologize for the long videos! I watch them all the way through, so much better than anything on TV. I miss trucking and you make me feel like I am back out there, even including the bad drivers I had to deal with. I was watching the weather channel today with the blizzard hitting Colorado and Wyoming, was hoping you were safe someplace and not out in it. Stay safe and Congratulations again on the house!

Always enjoy your videos. Have travelled many of those Colorado hi ways and like your commentary. Always wanted to have a chance to have a short ride in a big rig just to see what it is like. You give us an opportunity to just that. Keep posting, we need it. Especially in these crazy days we are living in, Stay safe.

I am so grateful for your videos!. I've driven many of these Colorado highways many times over my life but I always have to keep my eyes on the road. You allow me to actually take time to see the scenery without having to worry about the driving. I see so much more beauty because of it! Your commentary is just right. Please keep trucking videos! If you went left, it would continue on 141 through the Colorado Plateau to Junction. Beautiful stretch of road you should try another time.

Wow Mountain Man Mike - awesome drive in that rig and thanks for taking all of us along in the shotgun seat and all the bouncing around too... Lol -- and what beautiful scenery too! Yes sir, your spot on with politics, get ready for high fuel prices and get ready for even more donkey politics too. I'm sitting here thinking to myself... wow, he got on a filming spree and posting spree all of a sudden, but I also know that there are times when you just don't have the extra time to mess with editing videos, downloading videos then posting for all of us to watch. Also, me watching those wacky wipers there, reminds me of a old retired wacky trucker that's teaching new drivers at the tech school. Many of those students that have seen your videos call your wipers... wacky wipers... Lol and a few of the students have even called me "wacky wipers" when I'm talking to them during your videos when I show the class a video. Lol Congrats on the new home purchase too in Grand Junction and you're the man helping your kids out; but that's what true fathers do too! Very proud to call you, my friend! Happy trucking trails and stay safe!

wife and I were on a road trip, we rode thru glacier park Montana. came out the Eastside, went north up into Canada. stopped in Cardson for the night. hotel price was ridiculous over priced, we walked out for dinner, I stopped at a grocery for a beer to drink back at the hotel. DRY TOWN! next morning I asked the hotel desk how much rooms cost going north? she says each town you can figure the price doubles at each one. I turned and went south back to good ole USA.

I love your long videos I am disappointed when they stop. Love your voice too, (some of the other trucker shows they don't talk ot not much makes them boring) I think it is very relaxing and if I am sleepy I knock out and have to wake up reverse the video so I don't miss any thing. A lot of times you say ok thats it for this one but I would like to see you get to the destination.
@athollmcnicoll2563 жыл бұрын
Mike : The English guy you refer to probably meant a TIPPER TRUCK, which mean a truck that raises it load into the air and via the rear doors , empties its load. A TILTER Truck is used for sideways motion and as it tilts it load sideways has a habit of pitching sideways leading to it overturning. But I think what you misheard was he said Tipper truck. Nice mountain rote that you took and on a clear day, be quite the thing to see down into the river below. Cheers.

Mike, I just turned on YT and saw this Part Two and your opening comments. Yes, going left does take you to Grand Jct by driving thru Long Canyon and then to Gateway. At Gateway, you will continue on 141 until it "T's" and then you turn left again and you are then situated within spitting distance of GJ. I discovered this are by chance after staying overnight in Cortez. I saw some videos of the beauty for Long Canyon so I made it a point to drive and see it. I had to go the Rt 141 route until the R or L turn, for Grand Jct OR Montrose. I went left and when I got to Gateway, I turned around and drove back on 145 to Ridgway and then after the long drop into the valley, I drove north on 62. That drop into the canyon before your turn on Rt 62 was also something I didn't expect (just like the high ground area after Egnar). Very beautiful and I would love to travel those roads again. I was hoping that you were going to do this route as it helped me remember that area but this time now, with a dusting of snow. If you want to do a scenic drive, go thru Long Canyon on Rt 141, it will definitely be something to remember! Thanks for the memory jogging!

Hey Mike, yes these roads are sick, but the sicker they are the more we like em. I just read the comments this morning Monday 3-15 and you know somewhere we lost the freedom of speech. All of you who unsubscribe just because Mike shares his opinion, seem to have forgotten that freedom. Make your own opinion known, then we know where you stand but you can't get past the enjoyment of RIDING SHOTGUN . Or, just enjoy RELAXATION HIGHWAY. Just think, when Mike is talking, at least we know that he is not sleeping. HA. SEE YA
