“Rolling…Rolling…Rolling…” I’m with you Mike, got to keep moving to stay ahead of all of life’s bad stuff being hurled our way presently. Riding with you enables me to smile for awhile. Love those long hauls. Stay safe.

Like way you begin with your truck on the outside of it. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Mr Mike ....been watching off and on this past year. Been housebound due to a heart condition which finally got resolved. Love your videos and really liked this one. Very refreshing in this 106 degree temp here in New Mexico. Thanks for bringing this one in an especially much need time. Be safe and God bless.

Around 1970, I was delivering newspapers in Colo. Spgs. and got stuck in a parking lot. I had stopped with drive tire on a pothole filled with ice. I could not move because the rear end sent power only to the tire on the ice. I was alone so used a newspaper to give some traction. If I had stopped a foot earlier or later I would have been fine. Drove all over the city and never used chains even on hilly streets. I learned where to and where not to stop rather quickly. Years later I did use chains to get around and was amazed how nicely they worked when properly put on. God Bless and Keep the Greasy Side Down!

Great video Mountain Man Mike.Thank you for taking us along. Beautiful snow trip.

Your videos and what you're doing gets my mind off of my daily grind, so please don't let these few haters bother you, i think some people are just miserable and have to nit pick at other people for what i don't know. Love all the videos and thank you!

Mike , us Aussies love seeing the out side of your rig ,it gives us a better grasp on what you guys drive we never have to use chains

Hey Mike. Thanks again for the upload, Drive safe as I know you do. :-)

I love listening to you talk and watching you drive ☃️

Love the long ones...keep coming please 🙏

Thanks MMM that was a good ride along. Peace!!!

gday from sunny Queensland Australia , i have driven through mountain snow country here , cept we do not have your altitudes or low temperatures , so , hats of to you mate for safe driving and a top video , cheers , been following you since i first saw your first vid ,

My motto for my 42 years of truck driving was, If chains are required, the road is closed.

Beautiful day in the hood!.... Lol 😁.... Great trip, as always, thnx Mike ... Best regards x🇬🇧

Enjoyed the snow video, got my mind off the Canadian smoke we are dealing with in Iowa this summer. Keep the videos coming.

I liked the hilly/mountainous scenery on this trip, & the snow looks nice. By the way, this is the first time I've seen an 18 wheeler so packed full of snow -- and I used to live in Hudson & Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for many years (Circa 1955 to circa 1992).

Hello Mike! long time since I seen your last video, but is nice to see you still driving and filming!👍🙂⚘🍒 Is nice to see the snow now that is HOT !

It’s a good thing I looked at the date when this was filmed because I was thinking ain’t no way there is snow on the hill right now! Lol

Nice to watch during the present summer heat.

It's great to hear you See your videos.

That's Just Plain crazy.God bless🇺🇸🌹❤️

I’m about to start my work day, looking forward to watching this later……..noice✌️

It would be nice to go back to 55 MPH as a national speed limit, at least for trucks, like it was for 14+ years. ('74 to '87 when interstates could go above 55)

That truck in front of you starting at 22:15 looks like a ghost truck. Looks like you're seeing through it.

You must have been freezing!! Thank you for your videos.. I love them!

Surprised there were no 4 wheelers spun off the roads. Looked pretty icy out there, but you can handle it.

Plowing a road down to the ice is like changing your transmission fluid for the 1st time after 200,000 mile's...$LIPPAGE !

Watching from the Philippines and not missing the snow/ice driving/chaining. I do occasionally miss the views across the country but just took my motorbike across mountains here and what a view.

I live in the north east now, but I lived in CA for 20 years and had friends in the Sierras. CA has so much more snow, and more persistent snow, than the north east. The big difference is that in the NE the major population centers get snow. In my time in CA I seldom saw snow on the hills and only once at sea level in the Bay Area. But the snow in the CA mountains is epic compared to the snow in the NE mountains. People are still skiing in CA long after snow is nothing but a memory in New England. It's mid December now and we've had no snow at sea level in New England, though the mountains have had some snow. In CA there's already enough accumulation to have some runs open at all ski areas. California is just much more extreme than New England.

Great video. You did an excellent job. Be safe and catch you on the next one.😊😊

I Australia tractor/primemover and single trailer combinations are speed limited to100Kmh (60mph) . There are speed restrictions on multiple trailer combinations.

Thing is,,, some are Soo frightened that only thing they're seeing is straight ahead😂

I watched your videos while still in the Philippines, I still watch it and I am here in the states already (for good).

I enjoy ur video be safe out there God bless

I used to make that drive all the time hauling wood chips from NV to the power plant on the other side of Honey Lake. Never did it when it was snowy like this. You're way braver than I passing people in those conditions, though.

Hey now I've got to go to work. Rats oh well good watching tonite. Thanks for another one to cool off on a hot day

I’m not wearing a seatbelt!!!!!! Jkjk . Safe travels God bless brother

I had a dedicated flatbed run in the '90s from Portland to Reno and Sparks to Seattle can do that road in my sleep

Date does not matter to me. The snow is always beautiful. Got my Blanket im ready to roll. Love all of your videos. Question --- I like listening to ya talk ,But what do you do when your not making a videos??? 😊🤩😊 Bless you!

Having a heat advisory here today makes your trip a relief.

Seeing the Reno cops manning a truck check point doesn't surprise me, as someone living in Reno. I have seen them running the one on I80 into Reno a few times as well. Not sure if the state asked them to operate it occasionally or the city just wants more revenue from fines for trucks out of compliance? Anyway, great video! Always a joy to watch.

our WA governor ....we had back in 78 ..want the speed limit to be 45 mph ...I try to get over very often as my max speed is 47 . People drive our country roads as fast as they can..which is nuts,,we have people backing out of their drive ways on to our HWY ,olus stopping in time for deer is very hard going faster than 47

1000 percent agree with in all your words. Who knows what newbies do in loading and uploading in yards. As well, what they do to avoid shit! P

100 miles on chains and sat in the passenger seat as we do, slept thru most of it , as good old Mike is in charge so knows the score.

Nice

Ein fantastisches Video Winter Impressionen many greetings from Germany Cologne ein Fan aus Krefeld Germany Rhein side 🥇..

Great episode Mike

Great video! Probably, the other trucks got by because the officer might have been in the middle of another stop.

The UK introduced the 56MPH limited to prevent accidents caused by excessive high speeds of Trucks. Mainly to do with Braking distances, i.e. Lower speed means shorter breaking distance.

😮Stay.safe drivies❤❤

Referring to your comments about truckers not using their mirrors. When I'm behind a rig that's drifting to the right, and then pulling left in their lane in a regular rhythm, I know that the driver is using his mirrors, and I can relax, knowing the driver is paying attention. To conserve fuel I like to drive at a minimum safe speed, and when I see this type of driving I know I can safely draft - at a safe distance. Doing that on a trip from San Diego to Los Banos I was able to average a bit over 40mpg in my 2007 Scion xB.

called just a normal night going over donner pass. to deliver in many places in reno and back in 24 hrs. ca shuts it down for ice, and there states union says "to much snow".

47:00 Thought. Have a rubber mounted front bumper that "acts" like a long throw shock absorber, so that whenever you come up behind an AHole (in a much slower truck) - or if another SLOW truck pulls out (in front of you) and has a turtle race with one he's been behind forever - (to stop YOU from passing either one). Run up the AHole's rear end with your "dodgem-car" bumper, and SHOVE - SHOVE - SHOVE (until you are both past the slower truck), then back off a shade to see if your "shoved" AHole has gotten the message to let you through, and if not - SHOVE the bytch until he begins to jack-knife in front, (backing off far enough to let him jack right off the road, then slide on through). Always been a dream of mine to own a big rig with enough OMPH to shove an idiot into submission with a "sprung" dodgem bumper (and later - they won't pull the turtle race in front of any other faster truck - in future).

Ahh! There you are 🎉

Hi how are you doing friend l like your video l'm trucker too from Zim🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼l do Zimbabwe- South Africa-Zambia-Mozambique l drive a FLD flatbed 3 Axel

Hey Mike, Tires blow mostly because of under-inflation. It' especially bad in the heat. You are so correct, it has nothing to do with the speed.

No way I'm driving in that. I can wait two or three days.

Mike, when the trooper saw the troubles you had, he didn't bother the others cause he felt your pain. Or maybe he was freezing his ass off and had to warm up and missed those two.

I had To Chain up in On State Hwy.40 in Wyoming to Colorado that was in February of 2021

Give me Africa, Any Day, Snow is Unnatural !

Man, he must haul A LOT of cheese...😂 Beautiful scenery tho.

34:06 Interesting intersection of KZfaq videos; this same valley appears in Trent Palmer's small airplane video. At 15:45 in his video he lands (going north-ish) in the dry sandy bottom just to the left of where Mike is driving the truck (going south-ish). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ramnnZyasLy5dmg.html Mike: 40.002420 -120.087060 Trent landed at 40.013374 -120.083097 37 miles northwest of Reno, Nevada

Three things. One shovel to remove snow around tandems. Two you didn't clear rear lights. Three bracket for rear tandem air lines was broken allowing air lines to drag on road.

I got a DOT inspection coming through Dallas by a city cop while pulling a H/M load . Some city cops get qualified to do that , looks like cities have found a way to make extra money .

I’m glad I drive for Prime! Chains are required, but not used!

💪💪🏆🏆🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

I agree.

Can not tell you how many three railers (real chain) I tore up on dry pavement because of California chain-up stations. Hate driving in California passionately

You are right. These lowlanders are not from the mountains of Colorado. I guess we are unique that cars pass trucks here. LOL "Why do I need chains?..." Man, you've seen how these people drive. ... Legend says, he's still driving with chains on to this day...

Why is a chain on the trailer wheel?

sir what is a glider kit

Good old Honey Lake Valley .drove395 slot

«Наверное, одна из самых потрясающих песен, которые я когда-либо слышал».

Howdy ,I say thanks for letting me eligally ride shotgun with you Mike . I love long hauls wet or dry. Your looking good ,bless you (sneeze) .stay safe .

Ngl, i wiped off my phone screen when you got behind the wheel.

With Canada fires coming upon us...I welcome seeing snow right now 😅

They’re not going to be short water this year. If only they had reservoirs to impound that melt water.

We have snow again here now

you should try to drive the Coquihalla highway in canada

I got a star on my car and one on my chest, A gun on my hip and the right to arrest I'm a guy who's the boss on this highway, So watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know, I'm workin' for the state, I'm a highway patrol If you're drivin' too fast, like you shouldn't do You can bet your boots, I'm comin' after you If you wanna race then get on a race track 'Cause if you try to run away, I'm gonna bring ya back I'm here to keep all the speeders drivin' slow, I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm a highway patrol.

Hi! I m drivng in Norway and would like to move over there , do you know any places I could try?

looks cold! )

In regards to the Fox News conclusions/lies. A) Did they cite any studies on tires and semi-trucks and their speeds? I doubt it. B) if they were correct and had studies to prove it then the answer is not slowing speeds, the free market would dictate better tires.

You should have put the single on your steer instead of your trailer. it isn't doing anything to help back there.

I read somewhere that California is trying to require all trucks electric, how can they do that.

I'll tell you I don't miss any of that. Over 2 million miles I've paid my dues.

It's always a great day when I get to ride shotgun!

I don't think drivers are intentionally holding up drivers, I think they're afraid to get out of the tracks.

mike ....... great rides ....... what routes mike .............. ??

I love this country also ... it’s all we got and i agree it is sad to see it being ripped apart ✌🏼 in all the videos I have watched I have never felt you were really talkin a lot of political stuff ... toothpicks and water is a good thing to have on board ✌🏼

Kitty litter work 4 that too

aint nothin in that trailer worth driving in that

Good video. Thanks and by the way....I can tell you're scared, scared, scared lol

You made me laugh

You were the last driver in the world I expected to loose a chain without knowing it or "hear" it.

is That even vinter tires?

tire chains are for a safety move

Mike, they are fixin to tear up i40 in north texas. i10 is clogged in Austin, i80 is out soon i40

never seen chains on a trailer before, is this something you do often? what about chains on the steers?

need more vids
