    Thanks for taking us along, You are doing a great job. Don't get discouraged when you travel those roads. I use to live on roads like that. an yes got stuck or slipped in the ditch. And this even before cell phones ..... you will get use to it. I've heard you say that you wish your automatic truck was manual sometimes...... I can hear you stressing. You got this!!! Keep on rolling... Enjoy your videos....

    Hi Mike! it's bleak over there & you've got stuck! Omg those muddy tracks are dreadful! . That's a hard job you've got & nobody around to assist. Makes me appreciate all those wonderful trips you took us on previously. I can follow yr roads on Google maps/Earth, so know roughly whereabouts you are. Safe travels & thnx, as always x🇬🇧

    Back roads are just exactually like the roads we traveled on to get to the potato storage sheds, always amazed me that my KW would stay together after being shaken to death, but it did, load after load.😋

    Hi Mike, I think my blood pressure goes up watching these videos. God Bless!!!!

    What happened to you on this trip is what we called a "Wormbite". A "Worm" is a green hand and most of the time when a wormbite occurrs is because the green hand is overly confident or is faced with a situation that they are unfamiliar with. You did good working through it and those situations have a way of humbling a person don't they ? I'd say your experience today was a win-win situation...you learned a valuable lesson, didn't tear up any equipment, and didn't get yourself hurt !!! It's a whole new world out there and your doing good !!! Keep the videos coming !!!

    It's a whole new ball game. Great video! I think I'm enjoying these more than your old OTR series. Very challenging! Best wishes and God Bless you Mike!

    Well I know what I'm watching on YouTube this morning 😁
  • @allenburdett4923
    We all learn from our mistakes, that looks a harsh drive, youve done well, enjoying these new videos
  • Anybody can OTR...it takes a professional to do what you're doing! Good job Mike. Keep up the good work.
  • @thuggoe
    This is an exciting level of trucking you are embarking on
  • @elmerfrejoles98
    Good thing, you got unstuck man! That's when experience counts~ and still learn new things even though your OTR for a long time.

    Hi Mike! I've been enjoying your channel for several years now. Sorry that things went south with your old company, but glad to have you here in Utah. Before I knew you'd left Quality I was watching for you whenever I was near Lakepoint, as I recently moved out that way. Kind of a bottleneck for trucking. The Uintah Basin is an interesting place. I guess you're often near Skinwalker Ranch, just south of Roosevelt, a very interesting place. Keep your eyes to the sky. 😊 Looking forward to your videos from this new job.

    You are in post-graduate school of driving!! We're going to have to start calling you Dr. Mike from now on!

    Been there done that, dude. Put A set of 3 rails On before the road gets bad and chances are you will make it to your well And back out without Incident. And the sense of security let's you Concentrate on not spilling your coffee. Watch out for skin walkers and aliens. And the shadows you see at night might not be a shadow.😮

  • Mike, you know I love riding shotgun and have for years BUT I'm having a hard time adjusting to riding way over in the passenger side. I prefer riding in the middle closer to you cause I find myself leaning in my chair right here in my living room, looking like we are going over the edge sometimes. Being an older female, I can remember the days of riding in the middle next to the boyfriend....lol Thanks for sharing my friend, it was exciting that's for sure. Peace!
  • @TANKERMONKEY
    I always told my pumpers that if they send me back in without checking the roads and something happens then the whole load is by the hr sometimes i just chained anyway
  • @s.patrciabrady
    Great Job 👍. I've driven on similar road conditions when working PD and I always white knuckled it every inch. I don't drive anymore. You're a Champion!!!! 😊
  • Amazing country side, what a stressful drive and I am sitting in the kitchen, keep them coming Mike, but take care, regards John
