I enjoyed the ride along on 191. Drove from out of Ga for over 12 years before I got injured and had to retire never got to take 191. I use to get off the interstate as much as I could if I had the time. So much more to see on the 2 lanes. Drivers that stay on the interstate all the time don't know what they are missing. Was able to go across Hoover dam several times before the bypass. Been on gravel road in Montana going thru national grassland, that's when I found out just because it's a US hwy and it's grey line in the Atlas it aint paved. I Love Trucking and you videos.

With a population of nearly 60,000, Grand Junction is the largest city on Colorado's Western Slope. The city takes its name from its location at the junction of the Gunnison and Colorado (formerly the Grand) Rivers, in the heart of the Grand Valley.

Your Cabover Peterbilt. They had 12 of those trucks brand new in 1984 when I worked for Keen Transport.

[@danielseelye6005]

"Orwell" is one of those 12, literally. It was a Keen truck brand new before being bought from them, run for a bit then sat for a few years before Steve got it.

[@anitahameister6798]

Love your Camera work. Cool Ride Along!

[@FHollis-gw4cc]

What's the difference between a weigh station and a port of entry? Not much any more. But, back in my day, if you were not permitted to run in a state out here, you could buy a permit at the POE and continue on your way. Out East, if you were not permitted (fuel permit, TMT plate, etc,) you sat at the scale until you got one, and then you could go. After you paid the fine for being in that state without it. Now you know.

[@tgland02494]

Minnesota used to call the scale on hwy 36 just across the from Hudson Wisconsin a port of entry😂

[@rexvarr4574]

The reason that you had to go east a mile at Monticello, is that there are two major highways that split there. And the heaviest use is 491. About every truck coming out of the Salt Lake City area uses 491 to get to Albuquerque going east on 40. There isn’t near as much truck traffic going west on 40. I hope that helps. And yes, driving out of Idaho, I know that road well.

[@gregoryrapier3021]

I drove mostly tankers up and down the West Coast back in the 70s. I drove COE and conventional Cabs. Sleepers were for the rich guys. Spent many nights sleeping over the dog house. Paper logs (usually three of them to look legal). Company trucks had Tach-o-graphs. No automatics. Drove a lot of 13 and 15 Roadranger's and 4 and 4 and even a 5 and a 4. You could rent a room at a truck stop for $5 a night. Only did that maybe two times because I never had the time.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

That's old school trucking, I slept on the floor of a single axle freight shaker fld120 1 time ,when I was younger and skinner

[@gregoryrapier3021]

One time My wife came with me on a load from Richmond CA to Mason Washington on lake Chelan. Back then there wasn't anything in that small town. No hotels the biggest thing was a Tree top apple factory. The wife had to sleep in the cab of the conventional Pete and I slept under the 40 Ft flat bed. I could write a whole story just about that one load. For some reason she never wanted to come along again. Even though we did get a hotel on the way back to the bay area. A lot of the time I drove for two or three other truck lines. It was tough times and you had to in order to make enough. This was when Jimmy Carter was president. So much of the time I would go from one company to another with out a break. Have to get the load to its destination and drove many a time. Having to sleep for 20 minutes over the steering wheel so a could go another two or three hours. One time a drove 48 hours without any sleep. I am 75 now and after about 6 years of trucking I went back to metal fabrication. @@kelvintorrence5994

I lived in Layton Utah for two years in early 90s worked at Hill AFB . I loved it. The mountains was beautiful and bigger than life to a ol Louisiana boy lol not sure how things are now probably almost like Colorado if had had to live out that way now it be in Idaho

[@paulbowler2760]

I hink the name Grand Junction might have originated with the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad - the Rio Grande, which is now part of Union Pacific. In Rio Grande days, GJ was the boundary between the Colorado Division (Denver to GJ) and the Utah Division (GJ to Salt Lake City & Ogden). From GJ, there were 2 branch lines to the south and east - one to Delta & Montrose and the other from Delta to Oliver.

[@SuperCookieman13]

If anyone needs Starlink internet, it's you Steve. How can DOT make you change your route? I wouldn't have drove outta my way just to say hi to the DOT. Thats a new one for me.. other than the freeway, Minnesota DOT troopers use portable scales. Port of Entry, has to do with Admiralty law. All commercial law is Admiralty law. Which is the law of the High Sea. Flag with gold braid fringe is a Admiralty flag. A license makes legal an otherwise illegal act. UCC Uniform Commercial Code has been adopted in all states, and it pretty much has replaced Common Law. Beautiful scenery
