    This becomes one of my favorite videos you've done. Plenty of great scenery, natural and unspoiled for the most part. Also liked the new rig, the blue is a super color. We got to ride shotgun on the maiden voyage. Thanks!
    I thought you used a Go-Pro for videos, didn't realize it's a phone.

    I enjoy riding shotgun, seeing the beautiful scenery you see, driving through the small backroad towns, & listening to you talk. Nice new truck! Ole Betsy clinging on by few shelves in the fridge, & a choked chicken on the window. hehe Too funny! Sounds like you've been busy around the house. The spray guns have made life easier for painters. I did the old fashion way since I had to prep apartments with 300 units following the construction crews that left us a mess to clean up. From scraping speckles off the windows with a razor blade, wiping scuff marks off floor tile & baseboards, to pulling the nap up on the carpet with an industrial vacuum, to installing the switch plates for outlets, & light switches, to picking up the plastic wraps for garbage. That was the funnest 7 week job I ever had that not only paid good money, but those were the nicest people I worked with/for. Peace be unto you as well.

    Hi Mountain Man! Glad to see a video from you. Congratulations on the New Truck! Wish you many, many, many Safe and Profitable Adventures with the new Bessy! Thanks for sharing the ride and the Amazing Scenery. You do have a way of driving through some breath-takingly scenic places. Very Much Appreciated. That was some crazy odds getting both phones broken in the same day. Hope you didn't lose any of the content in the phones. That would just be a crime to lose awesome road scenery footage. You may need to get some 'Stunt Doubles' for your phones to take the falls for them. LOL. You take care and fight off that bug trying to take your voice and hope your arm gets better too. Will be keeping an eye peeled for your next video.

    #15 Good morning, Mike. "No Wonky Wipers" to deal with, yup! I enjoyed the ride and scenery, low traffic count. Maybe someday I try it out as driving is happiness on the highway, as once wheeling a ship was many years ago! Keep Bossman Trucker in our memories. Safety First!!

    Thats a big mileage for the old rig. Volvo have got a good name with trucks and cars. My eldest son drove interstate in Australia for a long time. He died from cancer on October 23 last year. He was a good driver just like his Dad. Bob NZ.

    Congratulations on the new ride. I prayed that it will always keep you safe. Prayed also for your elbow and cough. Take care of yourself, man. What you should do with your two phones - make one for business and the other *strictly* for filming where it stays safe from children 95% of the time. Great scenery. Looks like a great spot to film a western.

    Glad to see a video from you. What a beautiful drive. Great new truck. I have tennis elbow as well and never thought It was fixable, but I started physical therapy for it about a month ago and it's amazing how much better it feels, they do a soft tissue scrape and it's a little painful but feels great later, maybe you could try that. Thanks for the ride ✌

    Hey, Mike, you do realize that from the point when you turned off Gunlock Road, you were on Old Highway 91, which was the route from Las Vegas to St. George before I-15 was built through the Virgin River Gorge. I've taken that route going the other way when I went from Vegas to Utah many times. If you cross under I-15 and continue past Littlefield, you can bypass all the construction before Mesquite on I-15. But, the old highway is pretty narrow and winding just before Mesquite, not good for big trucks.

    Hope the new Volvo is doing you well. Guessing your old one wasn't that old; it had the same dash display as my trucker friend's had (one of theirs he drove for a bit was in the 440s on miles too go fig). At first, I thought you were on a road I once took on a trip coming back from WA, stopping to see a friend in AZ on the way back to TX. You were west of 15, I got off at Hurricane, UT and meandered down UT 59 to US 89A/89. Not far from this video, which is pretty neat. I know you guys in trucks are limited, but it's bound to be nice when you can take some of the more scenic routes in this country and see some different places.

    Old Bessie, new Bessie, yes I can hear the difference in the road noise. Much quieter, you will enjoy the difference. Probably get better mileage to boot? I’ve never experienced the highway your on . We go to Vegas twice a year. I10 to Phoenix, 303 to Wickenburg, 03 to Vegas. The I11 is under construction and in a. Few years should be done. 93 north of Wickenburg is rough till you hit I40 then 93 is nice north of Kingman. Nice video thank you see you next trip.

    I was wondering when the next video was coming out. Nice truck, except those black hubcaps in back kind of spoil the looks. I could never cover up nice shiny aluminum wheels no matter how much fuel it saves. I wonder how much it really saves. Anyway keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

Get a brace for your tennis elbow, it's not going to get better or tolerable if you don't!!! Did I hear you were going to release more videos shortly!?!? I sure hope that is what I understood!!! From reading your comments in your videos, I believe you won't get any complaints on the drives/highways you take us on!! We all just enjoy riding with you!!!! Can I ask a question!?!? Why don't we ever get to see you on the videos!!?! I hope you and your family have a Great Blessed Easter!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
