- Had a comment say "your truck is basically a work truck " and that is one of the biggest compliments you can give me.
Thank you for watching

What makes a truck is the Man behind the wheel, you are a class act, in return that makes your truck First Class! Peace Brother
Nothing wrong with first class scratches gives character.
She looks good to me .If I was still trucking I would take First Class in a heartbeat 💓💓💓💕
If you go with the generator and roof AC unit, maybe you can fit the ac where the sunroof is. That'll keep from having a new hole and get rid of the sunroof you don't like.
Kurt the work truck is looking good, although it's coming winter and you really should think about getting those LED headlights you will notice a very big difference in the rain, snow and the fog once you do that you'll wish you'd put them sooner.
With heating elements in the lenses, as you do not run the Southern states.👍
JWS - Model 8800 Evolution 2
Best wishes from the far North.
Kurt everybody has 2 pairs of shoes lol and super trucker dan is the man! You and him are the best
It’s a pre def truck! And a CAT truck! Enough said!
First class looks amazing like it always does. Hi opie.
If it’s around 2am I stlue, I’d bet I could hear a guy.. the bow is tight. Holler out for 45mobileNE
Over the Top - fun fact. One of my high school teachers was one of the arm wrestlers in the movie. They had an actual tournament, which he lost to the "villian" arm wrestler. He was a pro arm wrestler prior to becoming a teacher.
Another not so fun fact - that same teacher threw me across the hall into a row of lockers when he THOUGHT I hit another student (which I didn't). I was also on the receiving end of a paddle from him. Other than that, nice guy. lol. Wouldn't get away with that theae days.
I had the unpleasant pleasure of finding many paddles in Jr. High, lol.
Sorry Kirk yours is fancy compared to the 81 pete 359 i drive on the road or the 85 359 log truck that goes up the mountian.
An APU provides heat, ac, and charges the batteries . They are worth the money.
First Class is unique because it is both a work truck and a show truck of sorts. Its classic and old school, which makes it "showy". Thanks for the shots of St. Louis at night, downtown looks nice all lit up. Crockpot is a great idea. Now I can watch and see what new recipes you'll come up with.
That trailer Kurt looks brand new!👍🇺🇸 Your truck is classy..
I find the APU to be no more intrusive than the reefer unit noise-wise.
A Carrier APU will keep the cab comfortable up to about 90°F outside temperature. When it is hotter than that I hang a blanket from the upper bunk so I am only cooling the lower bunk space.
The heat on the APU is nothing great, but the Espar (or Wabasco) diesel fired heater will make the cab hotter than you want.
From what I have heard the ThermoKing APU is about equivalent to the Carrier.
The Green APU has 2-3 times the heating and cooling BTUs of the Carrier or ThermoKing. The price is comparable.
My new T-680 (it should be ready when I get to the yard Wednesday) is equipped with the factory EPU...some extra batteries, electrical-driven AC unit, factory inverter, and interface to start/stop the truck engine as needed to keep the batteries charged.
I think your rest area temper tantrum recalibrated your brain into a better state.
Rig looks great ….SHINY 😆
Lights NEEDS done.....😁👍💡🏮💡🏮
Kurt, the whole truck is truly First Class but you really ought to think about naming the cab, The Schmidt House. I think It has a great ring to it. Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s great to hear you talk like that.
It’s wonderful when a person finds inter piece and comfort in one’s surrounding.
Happy trails Kurt….
Wasn’t trying to be negative. You were showing all the rough parts of first class and all the lights that are taken off and not working..
You should have 30,000 subscribers by the end of the week👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏
Cooking with Squirrel while going to Indiana lol
Getting from point A to point B, While keeping the D.O.T. happy, is one thing. Making sure that your equipment is running properly and replacing what is needed, when needed is a great truck. I'll take one of those any day of the week.
Show trucks .....keep em.
We’re u stopped north of kc yesterday?
Wellllll thats the beat damn soundin work truck ive ever heard.....hell yeah
Porter greetings! 🇺🇸Coming to ya on Tuesday @ 1:48 am.😳 Well, this cold has me up and down…lots of coughing.😞 But I enjoy whatever I can. That’s my mindset. Pretty Boy truck…well, we need those, too I guess. I love a blinged out truck, but you know the saying, Chrome don’t get you home! You can have a work truck and just take care of it. I love to add what I can to my truck on its basic importance…Functionality, Helpful, Visibility and Character. I like to see when I’m driving and others to see it, too. I never did like just the little 2 lights on the back! Storage is important. We installed a box under the rear of the frame and put just the extra air hoses and impact. Can’t have too many tool boxes. We had to change a couple of trailer tires on a trip to Colorado once. Having a cooker will be nice as your driving. Some APUs are rather quiet and some generators are as well. I know guys who run a flatbed and they keep the generator on the trailer. Get a diesel generator. The one thing I learned from my brother is that when the truck was home we would clean it and do whatever maintenance it needed. Whatever you have on or in your truck is a reflection of YOU & Your Company. Work Trucks can look good, too! The main thing is that the truck looks taken care of and shows the Pride In The Ride! 🤩 It’s too often that I see a rig out there and it has duct tape on a fender, and you know it’s been on there a while, and you wonder how it gets by. The night shots you got were cool. Keep up that motivation. Enjoy your time off with family…that’s the most important thing! Thanks for the cool ride! This is the Comet Chaser…out! ✌️
the best truck show in my opinion happens at truck stops. those are all working trucks for the most part and some are really cool. I like a little bling on a truck but some take it waaaaay too far. lol. personally I like the KW T600s as far as the newer trucks go. First Class is fine. Nothing wrong with a good ol workin truck. I watch JBG Travels and he drives a 2019 Volvo VNL 860 and all the sensors and the constant beeping in those would drive me nuts. Their is a lot to be said for those older trucks.
You need to get you an air fryer also there easy to use and can cook anything in them Schmidt love watching you Opie and the family safe travels out there
I called my 73 Pete 359 my "workin show truck".. that's exactly what it was!!
Yes it's a work Truck but you look after it and there's nothing wrong with that , all my vehicles work , some are newish some are very old like 81 years old , I just drive them with stone chips and rust , Kurt I love your truck I wish I could work it , more Power to you mate , don't forget to look me up when you get down here ?
Hey Kurt n Opie, the movie ur talking about was over the top n it's a good movie bout a father n son n the other movie that have some old work trucks is smokey n the bandit. 1st class is one of the best working truck out there. Calling a show truck a pretty boy truck that's good n I like that 🙂 u n Opie stay safe n see ya both next time
Hey everyone, 7:10 Monday eve Nov 22 2012, Clear, cold, brown. Oh, First Class is First Class. Good truck, good engine, good driver, good dog. Kurt time to spend a little time at home and then GET BACK TO WORK!!! Have a good Turkey and all the rest of you people who watch this channel, Till the next tiiiiiiime, enjoy. PEACE
Boo hoo, you have missed a few ball games and you aren't home as much as you would like.
Maybe trucking isn't the job for you.
Maybe you would be happier flipping burgers at McDonald's.
Thank you that there are still people and trucks like yours. Between all the lowered LED skidders, I thought they didn't exist any more... the real workhorses without all the frills. I like beautiful industrial design and your truck is definitely one of them. I also agree with you that a machine can look like it's working, that doesn't mean it's not neat and clean, but you can see that it's working. Since driving a lorry is still worthwhile in America, I think I would have become a lorry driver instead of a software developer. As a child, I always found lorries interesting and imagined how free you would be if you could drive when and where you wanted and do something useful at the same time. Best wishes from Germany.
As much night driving you do, I'd have to have new headlights. We put LED in our 379's at work and the drivers love them. Just saying. Not to be fancy, just safe. We got them from Pete, like $500 a truck, not the cheapo junk off Amazon. Those lasted like 6 months and died.
It’s called character.😀
My APU AC has "so far" keep me comfortable. But if you can sleep in front of that Refer running you can sleep with an APU.
However I wouldn't recommend a Thermoking.....parts are wildly expensive and seem to need them often. I would do some research on GreenAPU, their parts I'm told are normal car parts (alternator, starters, belts etc.).
Check out OTROOKIE video on installing a mini-split and portable generator on his FL Classic.
A mini-split is much more efficient that an RV style roof shaker.
First Class crock pot!!!
Glad you enjoyed your cheeseburger Opie, your looking fair braw lying on that bed.
Another great video, truck is looking fantastic, knock spots off any British truck.
Kind regards
Johnny
Good morning Schmidt, Well I am a SUBSCRIBER of JustTruckin and Justin got a APU from Green APU you may want to check into getting one of those units from the videos of him showing it from the APU Plant to the time installed on his new W900 and he swears by it and many others have started putting them on their trucks.Chrome and lights make a work truck look better but like i always say chrome wont get you home ,so a a few little addon's won't hurt .Nothing wrong with making the truck appearance look good but make sure it runs right before you make it look pretty. T's&P's to you and your family and be safe out on the road
It would be called a "truck with character". 😉🙃
I can only sleep next to the APUs or reefer trucks. Lol
Instant pot has a crockpot (slow cooker) feature. I like that in the truck better than the crockpot. Simply because the crockpot lid can move and then dump your food all over your truck (Michigan roads, need I say more? Lol!). The instant pot lid locks on. Plus you can use the other instant pot features. Just keep that in mind... Bumpy roads and secure lid. Lol.
Over The Top. That truck was awesome!
First Class is awesome the way she she is!
Welcome to Cooking with Kurt, on tonights menu we have.....?
Then figure out dishes that you
might find in the geographical area you're in. Not to mention trying out the various recipes some of your subscribers sent you. 😊🇨🇦👍👍
Indiana cooking.....Pork Lungs in the slow cooker. YUM! :)
Hey
A couple of videos ago you asked about a better way from Cartersville Ga to Athens
The hwy 316 or hwy 78 out of Atlanta is horrible with the traffic lights and traffic
Another option if no one else has suggested is taking Ga hwy 20 from I75 which is just north of Cartersville and take that over to Gainesville
From there take hwy 441 south into Athens
May be a little longer mileage wise , but quicker and less stressful
Just another option for ya
Be safe and happy thanksgiving to you and all your family
Lookin good Kurt. The more libhts the more bulb changes. All those bells and whistles don't make you money is my take. I had nice-looking trucks especially for oil fields trucks and my drivers were good about washing them when we finished a rig move. You, snd Opie stay safe and havagudun trucker.
I'm not a fan of show trucks either. They really just care about looking cool (trying to look too pretty in fact) and it's not my type. I prefer real work trucks, like First Class, which actually turn miles and make real money.
The trucking movie with arm wrestling and Sylvester Stallone was definitely Over The Top. Yeah, it was a good movie, and I liked the Autocar. The movie had a good soundtrack, as did "Top Gun". I even cried in some scenes, I'll admit.
But my favorite movie truck would have to be hands down, the Smokey and the Bandit rig. You can tell it's a work truck, even with the custom Western murals on the trailer.
Though, "Anyone who would paint his truck like this would go to a minister's funeral dressed in feathers"!
And man, you were only home two nights? I hardly paid attention to how long you've been out ever since you got back in the truck!
(That's my alt, btw)
First Class is a good work truck. Pretty Boy trucks are so heavily modified they have numerous unknown problems/headaches. The sunroof was the least favorite option on Kenworth trucks.
We like first class as is. We really don’t care about the new ones, they are pretty to look at. For something to be a work truck, classic truck, needs loving care and you do just that. I knew you would not like your patch up on the seat, lol glad Opie got his cheeseburger and a good idea to space them out. Looking forward to seeing the new lights put up and she has to get all dressed up for Christmas anyway so…. Thanks for the video, love the lights in St. Louis.. hi 👋 to the family 😊🐾🦮🐠🐕🦺🐹🦂
i want a cheese burger
I know you say your truck is a work truck but I ran into you last month I was headed south on 29 you where headed north just south of the pilot on Singing Hills Blvd in Sioux City. I’ll tell you what , that’s a good looking ride you have there sir. Hopefully one day we’ll get meet in person. Much respect and safe travels
When does anyone STOP working on their truck??? You fix two lights the way you want them. Then you think" hmm those cab light cover lights have some wear on them, and on and on.lol
Hi Kurt and OPIE! Supertrucker Dan bought a reman apu at a nice price. Give him a call. Stay safe and give Opie a big hug.
UA-camr Just Truckin has green apu on his Kenworth W900L and he loves it. It has heating and cooling ya might check out their products and see if that's something ya might wanna go with
No reason to explain 1st class. She gets the jobs done. You take care of 1st class and she will continue to take care of you and your family. Each to their own.
When you have pretty trucks and show trucks you generally spend excessive amounts of money on them then you don’t want to park them anywhere cause some folks don’t care about others property. Paid for truck is cheaper than a brand new decked out truck. I like 1st class she has her own character just like Opie. Be happy and happy travels. Yea finally crockpot healthy eating for you.
Green APU, JustTruckin has a lot of info on these, meat locker A/C, heater, automatic battery maintainer, quiet.
First class & opie is very nice brother include you I have a 06 t800 with a 3406 Cat motor & she runs pretty good for a old truck they called it👍
truck is fine Kurt
Bostrom Lo Rider Seats would make you a Happy Trucker! Most comfortable.
A little bit of gorilla tape is nothing. It makes it look like a "work truck". You have a great looking truck just the way it is. . The new ones are nice, but they don't look original. Yours does.
You deserve a break for family time! My trucker husband is also taking 4-5 days off. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!
First class is the girl that graduated 3-4 years ago, but all the boys still wanna take her to the prom. See you tomorrow. I'll be 10-10 on the side.
First Class is a bad girl..You drive her well. Plus you know well even at full gross. That rig can be a left lane unit if you want. The vulva’s and the plastic def drinkers don’t stand a chance
Kurt get yourself the old heavy wooden coat hangers and hang your jumper cable in the closet wrapped in a bag did that in my w9 saves shelf space an do tget tangled in another. Be safe outthere and have a happy Thanksgiving
When they start paying more money for a load hauled in a pretty truck, then I might think about owning one. NOT! Why would I want to go back to work?
I like the commit!! I am Happy! Yes I am old and Old School. You Kurt and Opie Rock.
Pro air sells a DC powered 20k btu air conditioner that uses 80 amp on full blast.
It's a split system (three parts) only requires holes for the refrigerant lines in bottom of sleeper.
People talk about you needing to buy lights, have them go into to one of theses places and just start pulling out 100 dollar bills and let's see how far they get, chicken lights are sharp but they can be a pain in the but and expensive. Still a good looking Ole Kenworth. It's hard to drive one and keep it looking brand new as well and be family man when you get out of it at the house.
I have heard good things about Green APU. Saw a video on it from another trucker on UA-cam.
Nothing wrong with FIRST CLASS!!!
My Mack is a work truck. I keep improving it but that's all it'll ever be. I'll keep it until it doesn't make money anymore.
I had a thermo king apu on kw t680. It would freeze you out sitting in az at 105 deg outside with front curtains. But the roof tops do work well. Only thing i dont like is the gen is louder than apu.
I have seen only one of your vids so far, so maybe my impression is wrong, but if you incorporated your dog into your videos more I think you might attract more views.
Cheers 👍
I have always thought Kansas City, Missouri was crazy. Kansas City should be in Kansas!
He's Kurt first class looks great !maybe a little !ore bling but the cool thing is that first class doesn't have 2500 dollars a !month payment b safe say hi to opie
Missouri , I can see your house from up here , Maybe they can't see me what are you invisible , I hate car drivers and Caravans , Working on your truck , I do the same with my stuff my old Bike needs some love so what did I do I went bought a near new Bike and when I got home I parked it next to my old one then I turned to my old one and said I'm Sorry, now I want to work on my old one again . ( I don't like the new one Fat Bob don't tell any one )
Kurt, I love your truck but, A friend of mine has a long nose like that white one with the rv part sleeper on it but, it is a silver mentalic paint on his Kenworth 900 truck. He has a handicap lift built on it because his wife is a double amputee below the leg and she has a class a cdl with all the endorsements and a hand control for accelerator and brake pedals.
My daughter has a book called red truck. In the story it talks about red truck being a work truck and not a show truck and it reminds me of first class everytime we read it together.
When I drove part time for McNess I used to get down by the Arch along the river and haul bagged fish meal back, now there is something you need to haul smells so good
I like a nice clean truck, can have some bells n whistles, but she's there to get dirty along with me.
Not stay in the shop and look pretty.
The first classes is a handsome truck I'd put that truck in the show up against anybody to work in truck don't forget the truck is not anything without a good driver captain spent the last few days in the hospital appreciate your videos and keep me going when I was in there
The APU I run on my truck is a thermo king tri-pack it keeps my battery charged and it heats and cools the truck and it gets ice cold with my blinds open
Today is benge watching day ,,while I wait for my brakebush load in westfield wi
Damit driver that is a sweet looking ride. Keep the greasy side down and the shiny side up from the original Highway Prisoner now medically retired and living in the Philippines.
My favorite song from Over The Top movie is Meet me Halfway by Kenny Loggins ❤
Yea my apu heats and cools and powers everything just sounds like a 50 cal full auto
Trivial information. Dogs like the squeaky noise from those toys because it makes them think it the animal that squeaking as he tries to kill it. 😏
First Class is good as any better than many. The scratches and dings are war wounds. That truck works hard and you provide for your family. Take care of a machine and it will take care of you. All she needs is a little love.
Both you and Opie be safe and get home for thanksgiving and get the dad list done.
Man chill the freak out about a work truck. Also let opie stay home and be a dog. Get an alarm system on yo truck if u scared to be out by yourself!🤨
I like older trucks but been company aint worth money that mega carriers buy
Your truck is awesome. Looks good , sounds good. Drive safely my friend. God bless You and Opie .
You might already know but I would check to see how long it will take to get those kinda tires in where I am at they are hard to get hope it helps. If you are liking your ride then that all that matters I like my t800 people oh that a set back axle why would you want that bla bla I like my truck my dad drove one and they always had a place in my heart. Keep up the great video have a great day
Nothing better then a hard working w900😉😁💪💪😎
Drive safe back to Sioux city and have a great Thanksgiving
AC, dang spellcheck 🤬🇺🇸🇨🇱
An air fryer may be more versatile than a slow cooker. Something to think about.
Was his comment supposed to be an insult? When you are on the road and have a family, you don't have the need.
You can do a whole video just with the sound of the engine and your visuals..
you should check out the APU and headlight video on just trucking
You like your trucks like I like my motorcycles. Looking like they are ready to put on more miles.
