I am disabled and basically home bound as well. I’ve never been a trucker, but I love watching these videos seeing all the beautiful places he goes

Same here. I had to quit driving and became permanently wheelchair dependent in 2013 due to post-polio issues. I love watching videos like this as it keeps me distracted from all of my stuff, and the videos are great.

been a subscriber for the last 6 months, and have watched every episode!!! I myself was a truck driver for 5 years, and my father was a trucker for over 40 years, but growing up back then, he was never home, and our father/son relationship was destroyed because of the way he was forced to drive all pilled up, running 2 logbooks, and sleep was a deal breaker!!! that's the reason I got out of driving, with the prospect of having children.. so I quit, but always loved riding shotgun!!! i look for your new episodes every time i get on the youtube, Your skill is very impressive, and am in awe of your ability to back a trailer into a blindside dock is awe inspiring!!! so keep it between the ditches, and keep on trucking!!!

Hello Mike, thanks for the beautiful ride! I watch your video"s at night when I wake up at 3am and I can not go back to sleep. It is relaxing and helps me not stress about things on my mind. I Had R. Knee replacement ten days ago. Sleeping has been a challenge. Sorry this note is long I just wanted to express my gratitude for you time. Stay safe. Mary

Hope your knee heals soon. My grandma had her knee done, still not the same. But better then it being broken!

Westbound and down...loaded up and truckin'. We're gonna do what they say can't be done. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. We're Westbound, just watch ol' Mountain Man Mikey run! Great movie - one of my favorites.

The Scenery is absolutely beautiful...God's Creation! One of the many Creations! Thanks for bring them to us!

By far the best trucking videos on KZread. Keep up the great work Mike.👍👍👍👍👍

I enjoy riding with you , no loud horrible music, just peace and quiet watching the beauty of the open road good job good commentary thank you

love watching your videos on you tube i am 84 years old my husband 2was a truck driver and he is deceased for 20 years your videos make me like i am in he truck with him again i travel with you all the time i am seeing places iwill never get to go to Be safe

Driving with you I have gotten to love to see the snow videos. So beautiful. You got the skills so no worries. God Bless you and your family. Safe travels. ♥️🇺🇸🤩

Hey mike, another great ride!! It never gets old for me. I could take that ride everyday, as long as your driving!!! Keep on trucking!! Dee from chicago!!

I started to get a panic attack going through the tunnel !! Confined spaces!!🤢 I can't believe just a video does that to me!! Yowza!! Glad YOU were driving!!😀

Such a great stress reducer. I really needed this lovely, calm ride tonight. I'm in a battle with my landlord, who keeps breaking rules (with impunity so far...) and affordable housing is in very short supply around here. Maybe I should buy an old semi trailer & turn it into a home! LOL

I love seeing our country and what better way than with a truck driver. They go place’s I’ve never heard of before and a lot of place’s I’ve never seen. Thanks for sharing.

Fun using google earth to find your location and follow you along, I love setting the playback speed to 2 times speed, makes for an exciting ride, lolol!

Thanks Mountain Man Mike for this for this fantastic view of the continental divide along I-70 from Eisenhower Tunnel past Vail. This is an awesome part of the country. I'm proud to live in Colorado. PEACE!

Tanks for all your wonderful vids its fantastic sat here watching on my tv in the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍻🍻

I'm late to joining your channel, but I after watching several of your very soothing winter trucking videos in Colorado, I feel like I want to watch Cannonball Run.

Another wonderful ride. Thanks my new found friend. Beautiful and peaceful

Beautiful scenery! Now I know why my sister has lived there for almost 40 years. Thanks MMM!

Great drive. Sorry doing that run in daytime esp Saturday delayed you with that heavy traffic but gave us stunning views of the scenery.

🚛🗻Your The Best Mike!!! 🙏Be Safe!🌞Sunny Woods🌲

MMM, you finally went visually by Exit 147 on I-70 on one of your many wonderful videos from your windshield view, that was for Eagle, CO. My wife and I spent two weeks in that town, in September of 2019, it was nice to see it again from your viewpoint, we loved visiting that area, and would like to do it again someday. Thanks for what you do, not for just trucking stuff (which I never take for granted), but also for posting these really cool videos, some places I have been to many years ago, some I have never been to. But it's nice to see them all again, and I really like your presentation. Keep up the good work, good buddy! John in Montrose, PA

I just feel so relaxed during and after watching one of your videos. The scenery is awsome. Thankyou until next time. More power to you. ✌

When you said you were behind in time I sped up the video double time for you. Just trying to help! Thanks for the vids, Mike.

Its always so nice to be able to ride along with you mate thank you much Jim and bernadette from new Zealand

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Wow what a ride on this kind of weather and road - thanks for all the truck drivers!!!

Can't say I enjoy driving anymore , so its a pleasure to travel with you without the hard work , love the videos .

Love your videos, don't change them, especially through the snow and the mountains in Colorado, awesome!!!

Really nice seeing the area during the day. THANKS MIKE!

This is such a great idea. I’ve been riding with you a few hours now, dozing in and out of sleep. So relaxing! Thank you!!

Hi. I just watched your video of I 70, where there was lots of snow and chains. Watched both videos. OMG, this was a can’t breathe, sitting on the edge of my seat video. Couldn’t even go pee. Lol. Absolutely love driving thru there. Never did it in the snow. But I would take Loveland pass when I had time just for scenery. Thank you for the video

Mike, if you were too tired to think about Saturday morning traffic to Copper Mountain, you were waaaayyyy too tired to drive! Our city has a new slogan...tired driving is as dangerous as drunk driving.

Thanks for the ride Mike. Beautiful scenery. Loved it👍✌️

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL 💖💗💖. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike For Your Amazing Videos I Also Do Not Get Out Due To A STOKE In Left Eye So This Is Awesome Thank You

Thanks Mike for another great ride. Until next trip.

Love it when it’s a lot of road, thanks

Fun to watch. It's just like being on an otr ride along!!! It really takes nerves of Steele and the patience of ol' Job to drive these huge rigs in all types of road and weather conditions!!! Good driving!!! Thanx for sharing your truckin' videos, keep up those good safety skills even tho some of "the other guys" get sloppy! (Its a craxy" job but where'd we be without these road warriors?!)

Hi Mike from uk, Thank you for showing me the wonderful scenery in usa , I am 86 yrrs and drove many miles hgv in 60s and 70s love your vids . The only driving I do know is my bmw z3 sports car hi hi . Good luck . And keep safe . Cheers

Thanks, this is a beautiful place to visit or live! I'm up for a visit now after viewing your video! Don😇

Thanks Mike pretty scenery be safe peace!!!

I remember being on a greyhound bus for the first time in 1999 going westbound down this pass, the bus number was 6190. I boarded that bus in Cleveland, Ohio on my way to Los Angeles, California. It was a beautiful trip coming through these mountains.

I wish I knew what model of camera and lens you have. The image stabilization is incredible, plus the video is super sharp. Great job.

Hi Mike here again take it steady down this hill Got me coffee and ready to go.Here in the uk very wet no snow this year yet.

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

After a couple of months watching your vids I feel like I know I-70 intimately already. Just sayin.....

Hi Mountain Man Mike. I am glad you are doing the driving in the snow and ice and not me at my age.

Today is a really great day; to have a really great day !! I-70 is beautiful.

wow hard to believe they built that tunnel that long under the mountain..amazing!

thank you for this beautiful video.

I made the same drive on 1/22. Was one of the last vehicles over Loveland Pass before they shut it down. Those roads get gnarly quick.

Thanks again for the great video

Beautiful thankyou

Beautiful scenery!

Good Day Mike . Nicee run on I 70 west from Denver .You had a slow start but the run got better as you went west .Take Care , Be Safe . Peeace .

Thanks for the ride Mike oh, I enjoyed it.

You see a sign that says "BUMP" and as soon as you read it you BUMP. ROFL Thanks for the ride Mike.

Hi Mike Its Helen, am I the only one that got a glimpse of you...You got a nice looking goatee going on there...Sorry Mike I don't miss a trick when I am riding shotgun...we all appreciate you

I like your videos cuz I love traveling so I like seeing places I haven't been to yet, my sister...… she likes your motor sound and uses it to sleep....go figure! Lol She says it "soothing ", Im like wth?

I hauled steel explosives, and gasses up there when it was being built 🤠

Beautiful scenery.

Nice video Mike, seen a news documentary relating to Grand Lake, very nice!, appreciate the video...

Me and my grandson Christian really love this video

The last time I was going just like you are in a truck right by those big yellow signs there was a bighorn sheep munching on the grass in the grader ditch. Keep the rubber side down. 73's

Thanks for the great ride, Mike. Remember having to take Exit 147 (46:13 on the video) for what seemed like forever as I-70 westbound ended there. A two lane road would take you past Glenwood before it went back to four lanes. Great memories for me. Thanks again.

It took about 10 years for the Glenwood Pass deal to get finished. Hours of delays, I had forgotten what a nightmare it was. And that was when Colorado only had about 2 million people

Hi! I just wrote to MMM about Exit 147, Eagle CO. Is that where I-70 effectively ended before the final section was completed through Glenwood Canyon in 1992 or somewhere thereabouts? Please advise, I drove the old section back in 1984, but have little memory of it.

Gotta love it when people who are slower than you have to get in front of you, then slow down to their comfortable slow speed.

Thanks for the tunnel Mike.

The Eisenhower does take one THROUGH the mountains.

MIke very interesting when we were going through the tunnel and you mentioned the difference in temperature from one side of the tunnel to the other because of the continential divide...

@Joseph Smith I was not speaking of the length of the tunnel, Mike even pointed it out, one side with snow and the other nothing.I was speaking of what Mike said, the other side of the tunnel, the other lane of traffic..I am from the East Coast and Disabled and Never Will See The Divide...Just posting a question Joseph! Glad you found it amusing to LOL. Some can't mind their own.

Hammer-time !! 🤛🏻🤛🏻👍👍

Rut Row! Hope you avoid that California snow.

Great video

Sir ""MTN. MAN"" Mike !!! When you travel over US550 at Silverton ,CO.., do you see the Durango/Silverton train running along side of the road ?? Would be a great trip for You & Family in your new ""CADDY"" this spring Or Fall to see the leafs coming & going !!! Anyhows,, Enjoy your videos & waiting for MORE !!! "" KEEP IT SAFE """"!!!! Yupper !!! Losing 2.5 hrs in traffic makes it IMPOSSIBLE to catch up !!! Been there many times & have to take it for what's it worth !! 2.5 multiplies itself everyday till the end of your 70hrs total And you still will be 2.5 hrs late when you start again the next 70hrs. EXAMPLE !! If you could start at 0600 mon. then with the 2.5 hrs added then you can't start till 0830 mon.. NO way you can make it up without speeding over the limit & then """ELD"" will throw you a VIolation for speeding !!! GREAT FUN !!! IF you remember the movie ""SPACE COWBOYS "", TOMMY LEE JONES had a Hula Girl on the dash too !!!

Nice ride Mike! Even Jesus gets hate mail on Sunday! 😂. Stay safe Mike 👏👍.

Welcome to another day at the office. The guy has his own private window to the outside world.

Starting to enjoy your videos. Good escape from the BRT mob.

On a warm day after a storm, take lots and lots of washer fluid!

wow beutifull road take cre for driving.

Doing this drive tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be part of the skier traffic going to Keystone.

Nice vedeo beuitefal pliece

lindo vídeo e boa sorte

Nice relaxing video Mike. Thanks. Have you ever had to use one of the “Ski Jumps” because of brake failure? I would think it would be a harrowing experience! Keep on Truckin’.

It sounds like you have plenty of reason to 'rant'. We can hear your frustration and understand your feelings about having an important resource taken away from a pro driver. I'd nominate you for that job of Supervisor of your area! 😉

Hard to realize what that tunnel has done to going over the Divide! i remember hours of knuckle busting travel over Loveland Pass before the tunnel.

Il be running through there Thursday hopefully the weather won't be bad

Stats: 5.7 million Colorado residents; 575,000 hunting and fishing licenses/80,000 or so of which were sold to out of state residents at an elevated cost. That's pretty good.

23k! Woop Woop 👍✌️🇺🇸!!

This Like... Goooood

Relatable with the MGMT situation

I would love to know what brand and model of dash cam you are using. You have such clear video with great color. Just recently found your videos. I love a good road trip and can't take one right now so you have been fulfilling that need. Especially since you're covering a lot of roads that I have taken road trips on it's so nice to see them again. I live in Idaho and especially love your video going up through White Bird and north. Thanks for putting these videos up. I really do want to know the name and model of dash cam. I've been looking for one but they all seem to have low recording time or bad visuals. I would appreciate your help. Thanks again for all you do.

They blow a lot of snow on Golden Peak so they can make that snowboard Park.... LOL when I lived in Vail that McDonalds was called the most expensive in all the US

I tried that for 6 weeks and decided to escape back to my normal life, lol

I don't remember that tunnel hel it's been so long ago when I have drove a truck that is a beautiful scenery the mountains

I like 50, the loneliest highway

Nice
