[@Nobluffbuff]

Just hearing that motor sounds like my salvation. I am almost finished taking care of stuff at home and my job!

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Love the sound of motors also..

[@skibee50]

Silverton Silverthorn :) Thanks for the ride and visit Shady Lady when in Silverton

[@ahmetyilmaz3210]

Wonderful great roads and landscapes... I want to drive on CO so much

[@902Steeler]

Man you have the nicest otr videos on youtube I swear. The footage is fantastic. The conversation is awsome. No drama, no swearing just great trucking, scenery and talking. Keep up the good work and stay safe brother

[@javablues1678]

Thanks for your lovely videos!!

[@christineepright7045]

Oh my gosh. Beautiful view. Since I found your videos on KZbin, I can't get enough of them!! Thank you so very much. Take care out there and God bless

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Addicting videos huh? He travels my home state of Colorado. Love the videos.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thank you Christine.. and thanks for watching ☮️.

[@altonmedcalf5790]

Thanks for what you do Mike. When I was 17 my uncle, who was an OTR driver with Parkhill out of OKC stopped to visit. He invited me to ride shotgun with him. I was a week into summer. Jumped on his invite, riding shotgun all summer longhouse, and hopped out of that Peterbuilt a week before my Sr year in high school. Got to see this beautiful country from coast to coast, and incurred a traveling bone. Been all over the world since then. Thx for letting me ride shotgun once again and reliving some one of the best times of my life. Breaker Breaker 19, you got the Alley Cat, do I you copy?

[@jacquelinebaxter6420]

They do that here too. The kids go back to school then the road construction barrels come out. I agree do it in the spring. Its called job security.

[@PanamaRose]

Thanks for showing the Grand Junction area! Might be where we're heading on our move!

[@oldlady6229]

Beautiful snowy mountains. Beautiful trees at your daughter's. Watch out for fires in CA....and BIG winds starting this Sunday (10/27) at 2am.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Will do.. thanks.

[@CosmicStargoat]

As a resident of Colorado, I'm really glad I found this channel and subscribed. I've been on most of these routes many times in my Toyota 4R.

[@joannford5860]

Good Evening. Mike Western Washington time 9:22 pm. Nice to ride along with you.

[@catalinaramos9789]

Awww man you just making me remember those places when i was in Colorado 😔

[@Bentron10lb]

this man is in the fast lane!!! HURAH!!!!

[@jipsiemune]

dang what a beautiful view your video started out with

[@mikeservais888]

Thanks Mike really pretty scenery good luck with the spare truck peace!!!

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

When you're driving on I-70, you're driving to Fruita, from Silverthorne, NOT Silverton. Silverton is on U.S. 550, between Ouray, and Durango.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Oh.. did I mess up? You are correct..

[@darrellbordeaux6132]

Great video! Beautiful scenery! Happy trails, stay safe.

[@gummybear9564x]

I always enjoy riding with you Mike

[@Philios2Glory1]

Love you videos, keep pumping them out.

[@Skullitor]

Beautiful scenery.

[@seamusdaley3961]

We're burning up in California. That cold snow sure seems very alien.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Hopefully you get some rain..

[@kathypage1674]

Stomping grounds nice back yard what do ya do for fun Thanks for the ride Rocking down the highway Be safe

[@soponsuree9352]

Beautiful country!

[@charleshanna3123]

Mike Thanks For The Amazing VIDEO

[@theyuha]

Perhaps no construction in spring because of frost in the ground yet. Enjoy the trips, keep posting!

[@virginiatolles1664]

I'm constantly amazed by how well you maneuver that truck -- in a cul de sac, on roundabouts . . . Good grief, man! How do you do it???

[@rflower6157]

I love your videos,

[@ksanurse]

Hey trucker I see why they call them the Rocky Mountains. We have a place in south Western Australia they call Weedonbushes. I guess you can imagine how that got it’s name. : )

[@felixdatche9278]

I'd love to see some of your videos of East Coast

[@oldlady6229]

Pretty view when you start up. I am sitting in a dark house with only KZbin to watch. Power for us went out at 7:30pm. I am also listening to police scanner on my cellphone. Heard a call to dispatch calling in all of day shift....thinking Martial Law??? I saw in Reddit that President Trump tweeted (my Twitter isn't working) "something happened" then he calls for an announcement at 9am EST.....what is up? Be safe in CA. Now back to watch your video.

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Foxie Dog loves cold weather. Snow sounds tempting. Sounds like the mechanics need to lose their jobs and someone else who will do what they are suppose to and appreciate it.

[@oldlady6229]

Check engine light....something wrong with your fuel cap not being on tight????

[@harleyhawk7959]

bio diesel blend. hard on fuel filters, and anything with a rubber compound. not to mention paint and aluminum.

[@mikioni]

Beautiful scenery🤗

[@ShellymanStudios]

Wow! They already passed peak! All the trees in the mountains are naked

[@geraldfoster6253]

Who you drive for? This video over Vail Pass brought back some memories. Both good & bad.

[@ronitopacite2707]

It's Frisco not Silverthorne, you start beside Taco Bell

[@ronitopacite2707]

@@bertveldhuizen8699 did you hear where he start, know why i know? i just lived 50 meters away where he start 😅😅😅

[@ronitopacite2707]

@@bertveldhuizen8699 that is why i correct what he said. Since the don' t know the place

[@freightdawg6762]

Love your vids thx for doing these

[@oldcrone]

Look how dry it is. Forest fires!

[@bergydermeister5616]

@13:30 I mean I know you have to scoot to the left lane when there's someone parked in the emergency Lane and you were on top of it and it's not like it's your fault because somebody was in the passing Lane refusing to get out of your way people drive around in their Subarus and their soccer mom SUVs with their heads up their smartphones and the first thing that happens when they cause a crash is a grab an attorney and try to sue the truck driver and the company I mean what do they expect you to do slam on the brakes and have somebody pile into your trailer I don't know how you drivers deal with the nerve-wracking shit you have to go through everyday much respect Mountain Man Mike.

[@clayz1]

The same shit the cars put up with dealing with truck drivers I guess.

[@sudhirgaur2559]

Kindly tell which dashcam you use , thank you

[@donchastain4516]

No coffee?That's why I always keep a coffee maker and food with me.Then I don't have to hunt a place to get a bite and a cup of 40 weight.

[@paulvonauth7254]

Nice video Mike, appreciate it...(yes, it's typically the fuel filter)...

[@ridingshotgun1251]

And it was.. thanks.

[@danielhiggins4331]

THE VIDEO HEADLINE PROCLAIMS WE ARE TRAVELLING FROM SILVERTON TO FRUITA ON I-70 ... THAT DOG DON'T HUNT ... PERHAPS YOU MEANT FROM SILVERTHORN ???

[@blakeferris7797]

Hey you said it was from Silverton not Silverthorne. Silverton is way down in the San Juan Mountains in SW Colorado between Ouray and Durango.

[@edwardjones9631]

Blake, I also got caught off guard about Silverton!

[@davejacoby1459]

Description is wrong. This is Silverthorne to Fruita. I70 doesn't run to Silverton.

[@tassecup8149]

Why sign off and then continue video. I almost missed out on about 20 more minutes of video😊

[@jackterry7664]

Off to the right at 26:18 you can see the old hwy, before the interstate, it is a fairly sharp turn, almost a hairpin, that killed a lot of truckers, back in the day.

[@guysolis5843]

How far west did you start from? My dad and I were caught up in that oil shale project in Parachute back in the day. Lots of memories. Great video!

[@calio99]

What snow?

[@retiredatlast1976]

What happened with the truck? At 28:00 your going to your daughters house with no explanation about the truck. Haven't we seen this before?

[@vernoncoe714]

I don't hear any cb talk do they still have them?

[@THAVASIKKANIDRIVER9080]

Nice

[@aaronneumeyer5572]

A beautiful drive, thanks for letting us tag along. Sorry if you've been asked this a hundred times already, but if money wasn't an issue, what kind of tractor would you choose for the runs you tend to make?

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Did you change both the primary and secondary filters? The secondary filter could be your problem child

[@902Steeler]

In Eastern Canada they wait until fall to do road work here too. Its really annoying

[@johnseitz438]

Sounds like a turbo sensor

[@ceciliaalurralde8759]

Me llama la atención que en las calles de los pueblos nunca se ve gente

[@edwardmounsey9208]

Hi Mike: Interesting video, must be hell trying to make a living with a truck that’s not performing as it should? Hope the filter fixes the issue. Where are you on acquiring the Caddy? You mentioned a leaky wheel, I assumed you were talking about the current one you own? Be safe out there, see you next post, thanks Edward

[@arlenespringstead6309]

How long have u been trucking? Just luv the sceneries. Thanks for sharing

[@bobkersten1957bk]

Foutje Silverthone..not Silverton i was there..

[@DD-bn2mx]

those franchise stores make all the old towns look the same, too bad

[@tazmod7272]

Howdy Mike.

[@ettaplace6716]

Hey where was that town with all the beautiful trees 🌲?? Was that glenwood springs? Thanks for first snow views..

[@reddrum1529]

Grand Junction

[@Skullitor]

Is this I-70 ?

[@reddrum1529]

Yes

[@Bernie5172]

its unnerving to see someone driving on the wrong side of the road

[@josecarlossilva42]

parabéns pelo video meu like

[@jeffmcneal8659]

Silverthorn Summit County

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Yes sir Jeff . Stomping grounds

[@davidbarlow350]

I.m surprised at the lack of comments about the roundabout (or "rotary"as i think you call them). From the UK in the late eighties i drove from Houston to San Francisco and didn't see one. I stopped in the truck stop in El Paso one evening and got talking to some truckers who'd come down from (i think) Oregon,and i mentioned on a previous visit i'd seen a roundabout in Orange County ,California. I recall one of them said to me "a what"and i explained "roundabout".His response was "Oh,you mean a rotary,they got one up in Colorado"!

[@pablitovelez4126]

Frisco to Fruita.

[@iainsimpson1816]

Yeah I forgot about the brake on my test and stalled at the lights near the test Centre nearly finished examiner passed me I asked him why he didn't fail me he said you kept control and went when the lights changed sure love the mountains you go through bigger version of Scotland why do most Volvo's brakes squeal same with the steering rack a noise comes from that area Volvo's I drove in Britain seemed OK safe trucking

[@wethepeoplefred648]

SO IT'S A VOLVO

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Yes sir.. a Volvo 860..

[@anabelvasquez2614]

Que hermoso

[@bergydermeister5616]

👍😁

[@gordonbesancon709]

you got a couple bad coils.

[@user-fm1zi1oy9j]

Driving with pleasure. Smooth road. What country?

[@TitanSlotS]

Volvo's are good I hear

[@yoshinobuouta9980]

agood. Legenda. In. Portugues. Ok...

[@flynnjp19]

This truck doesn't sound right, the first thing I do when I buy a used vehicle is change the fuel filter, sometimes the increase in performance and fuel economy is shocking!

[@bighornriver1648]

Silverthorn, Silverton, Silver Plume?

[@stevecrosby7401]

Do you ever get down to !ouisvlle ky area

[@jackterry7664]

Nothing like Vail pass in the Winter with a snow packed road, and idiot drivers not knowing how to drive on it.

[@josecerros9110]

Frisco not dilverton

[@oldcrone]

I wanted to see the Rockies!

[@lloydanderson5832]

I do believe that Silverthorn is correct, as Silverton is in the southwestern part of the state.

[@wademcmahon7618]

Frisco not Silverthorne

[@ceciliaalurralde8759]

Que pena que está en idioma ingles

[@clayz1]

. 13:20 What are you talking about? They wont let you get over. For what? What is it you are seeing that the little people are missing. I’m right there in the cab via your camera and I must have missed it too.

[@902Steeler]

Are you on facebook?

[@michaelkurz9067]

Turbo is out

And those folk who dont live here are saying " huh? Wtf. Where be the snow. Gone and why we live here. God's country . Now if you'll excuse me, I hear bungling. .....
