I salute YOU Mike, and every driver out there keeping America supplied. Stay Safe. PEACE!

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@johnathanlewis7059]

Mike - I have nothing but respect for all you out there trucking across America. Right now it’s the truckers and the railroads getting the job done moving things to the stores into the hands of the folks at the stores. Thank you for what you do.

[@aday1637]

The roads will smooth out over time as the smaller cars fall into the holes and fill them in.

[@kellandreader]

I drove 93 north to Vegas several years ago (pickup truck), running the speed limit in light traffic, when I noticed a car approaching from the rear, rapidly. It became several cars in a row. A dozen Lamborghini Countachs passed me, all running around 100 mph. All colors. It was awesome. I managed to fumble my camera out and got pics of the last few. Pretty damn cool.

[@tomgray6123]

Yea pot hole crews may be late gettin out this year after the winter.That’s all I do when I drive here in NYC, is steer around the pot holes. But it’s the least of my worries right now. Thank you for your service Mike.

[@gregorydauterman6541]

Thank you for the great job you and the other truck drivers are doing during this crazy time! Enjoyed seeing the left fender mirror in the picture so I can help you watch for suicidal four wheelers.

[@dz7645]

Watching the last couple videos and all you see are rigs... made me think about the movie "Maximum Overdrive". Enjoy watching all of your videos! 😊 Stay safe out there! Aloha🌺

[@charlesc.parker1164]

All truckers deserve our sincere gratitude for what you do even in this emergency. You drive that truck like you own it by making sure you don't hit potholes which wears the truck out sooner. Hope your bosses see this. Be safe.

[@johnstephenson1533]

I live East of Flagstaff Arizona in Winslow, I have seen some snow around Flagstaff every month of the year. Thank You and God Bless

[@MegaSnow121]

Going to Lost Wages! Love your name for that city ‘cause it’s so true. Beautiful area you are driving through. :-)

[@bacoda58]

Desert lover's dream! Thanx man-stuck in "quarantine" in Houston but lived in Vegas.

[@applicator40usa69]

It's something when you can see the mountains in the distance and they seem real close to you. In reality they're miles and miles away.

[@budlife9980]

Such a fantastic clip....it indeed is a wonderful day in neighbourhood...🤗🤗🤗🤗👍

[@karenleger7583]

That's exactly what the Dems want. Dont mail in your vote. Glad you keep informed of what's really happening. Good job. I enjoy your videos. Thanks from another Patriot. 👍

[@buzzybee9997]

Beautiful driving mate nice straight roads sad about those other drivers keep up the good work Jim from new Zealand

[@Bogieking78]

I drove I40 a lot back in the 80's when I was OTR, and I swear I recognize a couple of those pot holes! Stay safe Mike!

[@davidc1859]

Thank you and god bless all the people in trucking and all the people in food,warehouses,

[@jesplain]

Hey Riding Shotgun, I wanted to let you know about an important update that just came down from the Navajo Nation - since I know you travel through often. Beginning today at 8pm, the reservation will have roadblock checkpoints that could delay traffic. This is as a result of mandated curfew in all parts of the reservation. This will go on indefinitely. The curfew is daily from 8pm - 5am. All other times will not have any checkpoints. This has potential to affect Hwy 89, 264 and 160 in Arizona. Hope this helps. Stay safe.

[@davidjacques3993]

Love I-40 and CA-58 from Little Rock to San Luis Obispo. Thanks for the ride until this is over. I have taken US-93 twice, once before the bridge was finished and once after.

[@debcarnes100]

Love the blue sky, it’s cold and wet in Iowa

Hi Mike, blessings my friend ❤️. Thank you and all the truckers!!!!

[@happyhighway106]

@101 Good morning, Mike. I am stuck at home, but enjoyed the Truck Videos and the scenery. I use to wheel steam ships many years ago (last century), I enjoyed the opportunity, listening to radio chatter and keeping wide of other vessels.

[@tommarshall333]

I'm with you on "gas station" burritos. A few years back, at a Chevron in Delano, CA., I bought a 'homemade' pork burrito..... it was mostly potatoes, a few beans, and PORK RIND! Never bought another food item there since.

I watched your video but I didn't have time to comment, so now I forget what I would have noticed on your video to comment on. We spent the whole day working in our yard. My husband mowing and planting live plants in the raised garden. I had a mess of old seed packets so I figured I would give them a try. I think we may need our own gardens during these weird times. We also have about 16 fruit trees but the winds we had blew off the blossoms. I hope we get fruit. I did notice tons of plums starting. I am not thrilled about plums but the type we have aren't bad. Keep us informed what you see out and about. We got a call yesterday from our county saying we are in lockdown until April 31st. This isn't hard for us since we are retired but we do miss our occational visits from friends and family. We watch over our 98 year-old neighbor and his family aren't able to get out of SF as frequently as thry used to. At least (for now) there still is phone service. We found out yesterday that in Pacifica, CA where my husband's brother lives they can not leave the house period. They have their groceries brought to them. Maybe this is to keep people off the beaches....less vehicles to deal with.

[@paulkurash685]

Enjoy your videos; keep them coming. Very relaxing and good for my overall mental being. Be safe out there and watch out for the other guy. Thanks for what you and all truckers are doing to keep US going.

[@wolfgangresch1650]

With all of us riding with you, we can call it,"QuarineTEAM😁😁😁👍👍

[@janespidahl1056]

We go trucking with you all the time. Fun to see different places when we're stuck at home in winter. It's just like being in your truck with you. Yehaw! Keep on trucking. We love your videos.

[@mikeservais888]

Thanks Mike nice when the traffic is light be safe out there!!!

[@michaelmorgan7893]

Dad used to have to do the same thing when we would drive that highway, and old Route 66, because of the potholes. At one time in the late 70s while that was under construction, the highway department would shunt traffic off of 40, and back onto 66, which was a washboard. Some sections looked like they packed the red clay with decomposed granite, and paint a line on it, especially in construction zones.

[@Boo-BoosMom]

The weather has been lovely in northern AZ. We had a wet winter, and it's nice to see the reservoirs at full capacity. I noticed you passed the turn off to my house, Williamson Valley Rd. :)

[@lonniephipps5329]

I sure enjoyed watching you going through Arizona I used to live in Arizona of two and a half years

[@luigi3964]

Thanks Mike for keeping our shelves stocked and our economy afloat. Be safe.

[@NapierNimbus]

Great video, lovely riding along with you, also enjoy your urban videos off the freeway when making delivery drops.

[@bernhardsorensen2576]

Love the way you drive keep it up

[@donnarussell3994]

I am new to your videos,like about two months. I have to say I love rolling with you ,it’s so relaxing and in these times I love your calm voice! Take care and God Bless!

First time I heard of Andy Devine I was a little kid watching Flipper in 1963 or so lol.

[@rickrich7325]

Love that ride, I’m going crazy not traveling about every weekend !

[@tazmod7272]

Hi Mountain Man Mike. Good to see you are still driving. Stay safe and healthy. I had a coffee cup with a handle and a cup holder on my Harley. I started using a plastic straw in my coffee cup so I could drink while riding. Ever since I use a straw in all my drinks. When I get a coffee at a drive thru I always ask for a straw. I use the same one many times over.

[@edwardmounsey9208]

Hi Mike: finally getting to Vegas. Been a long trek to get there. Hope you don’t have any issues unloading since Vegas is shut down. Nice ride, road was fairly smooth, great weather . Thank you for the shotgun seat enjoyed it a lot, see you next trip. Edward

[@patriciahetherington-parke1071]

[@johnathanlewis7059]

Mike - Thank You to you and all the truckers out there keeping what’s left of America’s economy moving. Vegas is a ghost town now what with all the hotels and casinos and everything else being closed. Please be safe out there.

You are so right, moved to CO from Bflo 20 yrs ago for 🌞! Not this winter...and if it's sunny it's windy.

[@kittykat999a]

You said it was 100 degrees in Oklahoma City the other today. It’s 2PM and 32 now! Hello from OKC safe travels to you. I had a CDL for 24 years, 99% reefer.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

Looks like that first surface is the 2" leveler cap. They may come back and lay another 2" crown then add the " cateyes" and the rumble strips.

[@docholiday1034]

It was so windy at exit 123 ......Was at gas pumps.. it moved my harley dresser sitting on it kick stand 2 years ago in april. Sand blasted my visor and windshield pretty good too...😂 Never saw a oversize load or camper from flagstaff to kingmen

[@harleyhawk7959]

closer to Vegas you drove the higher the vehicle population became. Nevada averages of people getting that virus grows exponentially. now I see why. Stay safe Mike.

[@samdillsaver7676]

I had a guy a couple days ago who saw the left lane closed sign yet still wanted to be in front of me. I had to take the shoulder to avoid collision and I gave him some airhorn. Couldn’t tell what nationality but I don’t think it was American. It’s sad some of what’s out here now, and I’ve only been driving for 2 years

[@Sandman253]

There are truck drivers form that same country here in Australia too, and some drive like they still are in thier home coountry.

[@tinahayes8203]

My husband and I stopped (when we teamed) @ the 123 just for a burrito sometimes. They are pretty tasty.

[@Linda2]

Great to be Riding Shot 🔫Truckers need a huge thank you. We don't feel we are in self isolation when we are on the road with our Mountain Man Mike ✌

[@butterworth235]

I use to camp in Golden Valley just outside of Kingman, AZ at a place called Adobe RV Park, nice honest people and monthly rent was really cheap for as nice as the park was and all the manager does there, like pancake breakfasts on Saturday mornings for free, ect. Hwy 40 has always been crappy far as I can remember, we always took 93 to Vegas for appts with doctors ect. Its a nice ride. I didn't mind it. Vegas is like a ghost town, and now AZ has closed its borders and you need a pass to drive to work my son said, nobody is allowed in from out of state. :(

[@foxa003]

I would like to start recording my trips what dash cam do you have?

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Mike, try Pike place 71 Starbucks. Its Ballanced , and smooth just a good tasting cup of coffee. Stay safe and Thank You for driving.

Been a while since I’ve been on that highway.

[@weremodel]

You keep trucking, Mike, during all of this to deliver. I would like to be shotgun with you but the cab is not big enough for six foot separation. I will continue to make dismantled kitchens usable during all of this. Be safe.
