Sorry you and Quality have parted ways, I can travel now without having to look for blue trucks and your chicken hanging on the window, hope he’s still going to travel with you. Because of you I got to see a lot of beautiful country and learned a lot about the trucking industry, thank you. A new chapter in your life and hopefully we’ll learn something new also. Good luck and thanks for letting us ride Shotgun.

God bless you, Mountain Mike.

Hella happy to see you ok, was beginning to worry. Feeling sorry for Quality right about now bc they really don't know wtf they doin when they let priceless experience go. But life will go on without them because you are Mountain Mike with or without their trucks. This closer-to-home video makes me feel even closer to you and I know you will be ok - just hope you take us with you on your next life chapter. btw, my youngest son lives in CO and that is the reason I started watching your channel. Since then, we have bought a place in CO and we love the snow and the change of pace from hellish CA. Thanks for that Mike. You may want to consider becoming a full time you-tuber - you have the subscribers #s and the view#s - and then you may have the time to comment/answer some of our questions/comments -jk.

10 and a half years of loyalty to Quality, and they fire you at a moments notice. What a freaking dick move they did to you! Looks like Quality is the next company who requires a reality check, getting too big for their britches, when the owner doesn't give a crap. Well good luck them trying to find another great worker like you, they can go F themselves. Nice bike dude, it gets up and goes, and is something that you can actually ride. I consider getting into oil trucking an upgrade, especially if Hazmat requirements are imposed. You now are working I think you said 130,000 gross, so that should also equal more pay per month as well.

Because the owner of Quality is obviously a dick, who cares more about profit coming in, then the livelihood if their drivers! The owner was perfectly willing, to leave Mike stranded where he was. Sometimes companies get too big for their britches, this is evidence of that, the owner needs a reality check. Maybe one day Quality will go bankrupt cause they got no more good drivers to deliver freight. As the emperor would say in Star Wars, only at the end, will he understand.

10 years with one company and just because you didn't want to sit around with your thumb in your nose after 4 days sitting and you even offered to pay for the trip That is a perfect example of how companies don't give two F's about their employees and how easily they can replace you regardless of how many years you worked for them or how good of employee you may be Before I was forced into retirement due to medical reasons people used to say I had a bad attitude when it came to my employers if I found a better job that paid more no I wouldn't give them a two-week notice they wouldn't give me one I drove tow truck for 22 years and the one thing I learned in all that driving all the 24-hour shifts 6 day weeks missed thanksgiving's missed Christmases missed birthdays the one thing I learned about every company I worked for is you're only as good as your last tow

It’s about time….😘🤣 I’ve been thinking about getting an e-bike or trike. I would like to tour/camp with one. Could it be that they were looking for an excuse to off load you? Perhaps you were putting in too many hours, and they didn’t want to pay you the amount money for your work.
nice seeing you are still out there, Mike.
Sorry to hear that, really missing your trucking videos. I am sure one more door will open for you soon.
Hope everything works out for you. Been wondering why no videos . Be careful charging the bike some have been catching fire.please no more videos on the bike. Very hard to understand what your say. Stay safe !
🍭SWEET🍭Have a great Thanksgiving🙏🏼💖👍🏻🌞
Wow sorry to hear you lost your job. I do hope your next adventure is great and we get to tag along
one door closes and another openes. Praying for you Mike.✝️
Good luck with the new Gig Mike looking forward to some video with the tankers
Nice 2 wheeler !!! Already watched your adventure with the trailer & pup...you're gonna knock it outa the ballpark with this job !!! Can't wait to do some of the winter runs "Riding Shotgun" !!! You've always had a knack for figuring things out when it comes to semi's and making it look easy !!! Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow !!!
Congratulations on your new job😊
So sorry about loosing your job. Glad your ok
Your voice and the sound of that truck was like music to my ears. But looking forward to your videos in the future !!!
Guess im going to have to get one
I don't get why they fired you, but glad you found a new employer. Nice bike. Looks like it could handle dirt roads and trails too.
Because the owner of Quality is obviously a dick, who cares more about profit coming in, then the livelihood if their drivers! The owner was perfectly willing, to leave Mike stranded where he was. Sometimes companies get too big for their britches, this is evidence of that, the owner needs a reality check. Maybe one day Quality will go bankrupt cause they got no more good drivers to deliver freight. As the emperor would say in Star Wars, only at the end, will he understand.
Like your bike.bessie going to miss you 🚚
You should get an outdoor microphone. The wind makes it really difficult to hear you.☹
Nice life big guy.
Douglas pass is no joke to go on in the summer. Be careful of that road. On top of that pads is on a active slide area. Colorado 13 is better than 139 doto the slide. 13 is a deadly highway for elk and deer.
I don’t know how many KZheadrs I subscribe to that I’ve gotten one of those.
Nice Tundra
So will we see you drive your pickup truck in the snow?
Sorry to hear about your job. There always comes a time when we cease to be an asset and become a liability (in the eyes of all companies). Quality seemed like a sweet set up for you, to bad you couldn't work it out.
I got one like it
I have one of those bikes I have it tied to the back of my cab. I'm a owner. Operator since 2000 when I park in the evening I'll go for a bike ride
Mike....sounds like Quality royally screwed themselves....don't blame ya...been there,done that several times myself....now maybe you can enjoy the family more
Hiboy P6 is faster than volvo truck.! what the fock.🙆♀
Thinking seriously about buying an e-bike to take with me when I travel with my class c. I have a pedal bike but want to tow a pet trailer for my dog and the fat tires would be better for the stability. By this demo ride you did it looks pretty decent.
kids should wear a helmet on a bike !!!!! and the new born are you series ???
And I suppose no drinking through the hose also
Glad you've found a purpose lol
Sorry you lost your job with Quality. Their loss. Driving oil tankers sounds interesting. Beautiful country around Vernal. Lookimg forward to more videos.
That is just crazy firing you. Today good truck drivers are very hard to find especially with your background. I'm pretty sure they will regret their action. Be careful out there on the road.
First what's the cost how long did it take to build it
Hey brother. Think you’re going to be fine! A bit of advice, you really should be riding with the flow of traffic. Freaks me out when I see a bike heading straight for me. Riding with the flow is recommended by all bicycle manufactures. Good luck

Their loss Mike not yours. On to better days. Peace🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Missed you so much, missed your voice too! Sorry about the Job, I know nowadays Companies get a chance to let a Senior go (# of years there) saves them a lot of $$$ over a newbie ! But you were a hard worker on the go, these younger gen, the are such slackers, work ethics is not great ! Glad your ok. Still have the Caddy?
Work what is the top speed
I guess we’re not going to get any more trucking videos since you’re not working for quality anymore.
Hopefully we will. We need winters with Mike
be careful!
Do NOT charge or store in the house
My son sells all kinds of electric bikes
How much $
Did all the phone calls and complaints to Quality about your driving habits catch up to ya?
Wind noise basically blocked most of what you were saying, so hope you repeat yourself a bit on another video when not on the ebike. I have an Aventon Aventure 2 ebike myself, purchased 6-months ago; it's similar to what you have there. It won't replace a car, but it's good for getting oneself off the couch and exercising!
10 years with one company and just because you didn't want to sit around with your thumb in your nose after 4 days sitting and you even offered to pay for the trip That is a perfect example of how companies don't give two F's about their employees and how easily they can replace you regardless of how many years you worked for them or how good of employee you may be Before I was forced into retirement due to medical reasons people used to say I had a bad attitude when it came to my employers if I found a better job that paid more no I wouldn't give them a two-week notice they wouldn't give me one I drove tow truck for 22 years and the one thing I learned in all that driving all the 24-hour shifts 6 day weeks missed thanksgiving's missed Christmases missed birthdays the one thing I learned about every company I worked for is you're only as good as your last tow
You were making too much money. They were probably looking for a reason to kick you out the door for a long time but you didn't give them anything remotely like a reason. They will pay the next guy a lot less money and they will get a lot less in return. It's their loss and somebody else's gain.
H___LL Mike,, Thought you would retire from Quality , but instead they gave you the ""BOOT"" !! 🤔🙄 Goes to show what the Trucking Industry thinks of their ""Dedicated "" Driver's !! 😡😠🤬 Well, Hope the next ""ADVENTURE"" Doesn't end the same way !! I was told many times over the years that Driver's are ""a dime a dozen "" !! Gave Dispatch a Quarter & Told him to go find Driver's that would do what I did for his CO. as I Would fix whatever got broke to make it to a P/U or Del. Site on time !!!
Quality "your Company " Lost a Quality driver-So sorry you lost your job
Meh, Quality wasn't "quality work ethic" anymore. Thats their loss for kicking an excellent driver to the curb. A company wants to sit a driver for multiple days and not care, it's time to move on✌️
Screw quality for pulling that. Your skills will be much more appreciated somewhere else.
