Here it is. Interstate 5 in Southern California, going up and then down the Grapevine. Simply put, this is one of THE MOST dramatic grades along the entire Interstate Highway System.

    The year was 1997 and I had just tested out after 3 weeks with my trainer. My very first load as a new solo driver was out of the Pomona terminal. I scaled out at 77K pounds and the load took me north over the grapevine AT NIGHT. Nothing like getting thrown into the most intense circumstances that would test your training like nothing else would. I think I aged 20 years that night.

    I drove this at night and had no idea what I was crossing! Thank for this video!

    First time I drove this was when I was 17 as a college freshman visiting home for the holidays. I had only had my license for like 5 months. It was dark, my headlights were crap, and it was so windy that my car felt like an airplane in turbulence. I had white knuckles the whole way. In the last four years I have driven it around 20-30 times. It gets shorter and shorter each time. I have an old SUV that can't go faster than 40 mph on some of the grades, so I have to sit in the right lane and hang out with the big rigs. It's just one of those things that gets easier with experience.
  • Pretty awesome really. The connector between one of America's biggest cities along with one of America's largest farmlands.
  • Wow @ 4:18! Crazy how you caught that tire blowout! I was like "did he just drive passed a lone tire rolling down the freeway?"

    This was very beautiful i was driving from LA to Oakland on the 9th and driving on the Grapevine wasn't really bad. it was awesome i just threw the car in Neutral with my foot near the brakes and coasted all the way down.
  • Damn I had no idea the grapevine was national known as “All-Mighty” . I thought I was the only won who sweats that drive. Some crazy fuckers just fly down the hill like maniacs

    Great ride Brent. So much to see, including the runaway tyre! lol 
  • I genuinely hope you never stop making videos Brent. I truly enjoy them and think everyone would miss them (and you!) terribly! :)

    I recently went over the Grapevine in both directions in my 1966 Mustang Convertible 6-cylinder. I didn't know if I would make it or not but the old 200 CI inline 6 kept on chugging. I was happy to make it over the top both times though.
