Really love how you just take us along for the ride, no goofy music, just the sights, sounds, and essential information. Makes for a relaxing time, and always, always shows me how easy you make it look (when you've done twice as much off camera)!
Like being on holidays and never leaving the couch ! Haven’t trucked in 12 yrs now, had to give up my 1 due to back surgeries so retired ! It’s like being back in the saddle watching ! Thank you 😊
Yep back in the 70's that was the thing , Hammer Down in the Monfort Lane was the Talk.. When I started my Career in the mid 70's above the 49th.. In the Midnight Hours I'd be finished my day and Deadheading back to the Barn.. Running across the Main Highway little or no traffic , only the ones that stayed for Last Call.. A Pair of Team Drivers on with Kwikasair blew right Past me like I was Parked...
Kurt, Mavericks is a western fuel stop out of Salt Lake City.They are owned by the Mormons. The ones here in Nevada nave no overnight parking. Their food is usually pretty good too.
Hey Kurt you should Do an Experiment and Bring Jax's On a Kenworth Run instead of Opie see how he does also to see the fallout of opie being upset at Jax haha.
There is an old saying in the southeastern part of the US: Road construction started around Atlanta, Georgia the day after General Sherman marched through the south and road construction has never ended there.
Kurt I was going to comment on your video a few days ago about carrying load locks. My advice (worth at least what you paid for it) is to mount a rack to carry them. Those cab fairings are not made to stand much outward pressure.
Hi Scared of snakes 🐍!!! Thanks 😊 We didn't see you remove the wiper blades but saw you buying it and the grease and then your yummy food, chocolate milk and vanilla cone for the German 🐕 How many gallons of fuel did you put in? You never said it, maybe you didn't top it. Yes, I can see why any one would want to stay in that region, open spaces everywhere to park,, and light traffic, is really great for First Class, low wear and tare. Good video... Opi looking good 🥰
Oh yes the old way . Retired in 2006 after 38 years of trucking. Sleeping out front of grain elevators . Hauling gravel all day no stopping for that extra load . Yes the money was good . The human body is not designed to take that abuse. Those old trucks beat the hell out of you . Loud and hot . Enjoy the videos stay safe ✌️
grew up in Muncie....when i go home to see my parents the golden rule....DO NOT SPEED IN ILL!!! Going over bridge (55 or 57?) you hear the trucks back everything down.... best wishes
well my pickup finally made it on one of your videos but i still have yet to see my truck. i thought i seen you going east on 20 this morning by holstein but i guess not.
Among other things, I used to turn St. Louis to Chicago and back 3 times a week, then top it off with a run to Orlando. And I was home every weekend. Not exactly that thing you were referring to, i.e., the comic book(s).
I thought I could make on fuel and ran out at 2:00am in the dead of winter and my wife and I had to walk three miles to a gas station 😂you and opie have a safe trip
Man I like those stories. Back in the 90's my dad used to drive for Maxton Meat. Maxton NC, he did ALOT of Maxton to Cincinnati. Finally one day he was just so sleepy he said he had had enough. Good old day's. Another company same ole same ole.
So happy that you showed my bridge in Peoria 😁‼️ why’d Opie’s ice cream 🍦 look a little smaller by the time he got it?? That was a really awesome shot going over the overpass 👍🦮🐕🦺✌️ hello 👋 family
yup! that's a beautiful large Flag...taking a dog @ his word, concerning food! now that's humor! yup! snakes & bat's love to live in houses!! thanks 4 the vid! yup! covered it! Hmm...🍌
Hey Kirk maybe you've covered this before but how do you change the color of the lights on the CB several times a night? Inquiring minds one another! God bless and keep it between the lines!
There is a Maverick truck stop in Santo, TX... where I 20 and Hiway 281 intersect. It is an ok place, open 24 hours, gravel parking. I sometimes overnight there when I travel from Iowa to Texas. Food has always been very good. Gas is good too but be ready to pay for it.
When I was on a team truck we would run pharmaceuticals from Pennsylvania to Las Vegas then deadhead to California for sensitive produce back to Pennsylvania. Each driver did 650 miles a day (1,300 total daily) only stopped for fuel and 30 min break. We would run 8 weeks straight and then 1 week off. Could only do it for a year before going solo. That was my good ole days for me. Money was great but it took a toll on the family
I bought some of those more expensive wiper’s and they didn’t last a bit longer for the car. Still just got a little over a year with them. I think the same company makes them all. Y’all stay safe and havagudun.

Uber Dad is a beautiful man with a big heart. The closeness y'all have is awesome
Kurt and Opie are definitely my favorite of all of the trucking videos!
I'm watching from my sleeper!!!! Thats currently parked at a truck stop in Mt. Vernon Illinois!!! Heading to stockton California
boy skimping on the ice cream a bit for Opie
I should have known that Uber Dad was a medic with his great personality. I worked with a lot of great medics when I was a Volunteer firefighter.
Super trucker dan!!!! Trucking with Schmidt!!! Cash is king!!!! Frist class!!!!!
😂 nice 🤘👍

On August 30, 2023, Maverik and its parent company, FJ Management, completed the acquisition of the Iowa-based chain of stores
Like being on holidays and never leaving the couch ! Haven’t trucked in 12 yrs now, had to give up my 1 due to back surgeries so retired ! It’s like being back in the saddle watching ! Thank you 😊
Loved the old school way. Run hard, rest hard, back to running. Hi Opie.
Thank you for the awesome video ❤❤❤
The good thing about now, is you have more time with your family...
Da dawgie loves his ice cream snack.
My uncle in Idaho watched his grandson a lot. Grandson moved to Alaska. My uncle is kind of heartbroken.
It Was just A Grass Snake
Tell Kurt add 2 add 2 larger fire extinguishers :-)
Wow. I haven’t seen a Sinclair station in 40+ years.
Yep back in the 70's that was the thing , Hammer Down in the Monfort Lane was the Talk.. When I started my Career in the mid 70's above the 49th..

Kum & Go has great pizza❤
Kurt, Mavericks is a western fuel stop out of Salt Lake City.They are owned by the Mormons. The ones here in Nevada nave no overnight parking. Their food is usually pretty good too.
Love your content. You're a great entertainer
You finally answered my question about who was Harley..A little over 2 years now.. But it got answered lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Kurt you should Do an Experiment and Bring Jax's On a Kenworth Run instead of Opie see how he does also to see the fallout of opie being upset at Jax haha.
Lol, Opie would have a heart attack. He has a serious case of separation anxiety
Uber Dad is funny, when you wondered if the golf cart would make it and he said something like it had suddenly an extra 400 lbs....
although this is an old video great always to watch. come to ohio some day and we will hook up
Wilmington, NC
we haven't seen Opie with you lately ,hope he's ok
Wilmington Nc!
There is an old saying in the southeastern part of the US: Road construction started around Atlanta, Georgia the day after General Sherman marched through the south and road construction has never ended there.
Thanks for the heads up on the snake.
I stop in at Woody's a few times to eat at Leroy. Hopefully one day I'll meet you and opie. I'll buy you a Dr.Pepper
Great content! Thank you for taking us along.😊
Top job once again Kurt and Opie
Thanks Wayne
My pleasure as always Kurt
Hey Kurt just wanted to say hi havent posted a comment in awhile hope you and the family are doing good 👍

@@truckingwithschmidt7120 thanks for the reply
I stopped Mavericks in Utah and Wyoming. Nice clean gas stations and always had good food. I hope they keep the Kum & Go name.
I used to go through Cedar Rapids in the later 1970's. The interstate highway there now was a wild dream. I-80 passed by a bit south and that was it.
KURT BEAUTIFUL RIDE TO DAY ! OPIE & THE ICE CREAM HE IS JUST TO CUTE ! MAN THE SNAKE 🤦♀️🤦♀️ COOL VIDEO ! BE BLESSED STAY SAFE !! 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊✊👍

Hey, you just passed I-80 truckstop. Been there several times.
So happy that you showed my bridge in Peoria 😁‼️ why’d Opie’s ice cream 🍦 look a little smaller by the time he got it?? That was a really awesome shot going over the overpass 👍🦮🐕🦺✌️ hello 👋 family

Nice job backing!
Keep on trucking!
Other awesome video once again. Hi opie.
Hey Opie, do not sign that contract. Pup cone and ice cream, and the Beef Brisket. 👍✌
I was born in Peoria
When I was on a team truck we would run pharmaceuticals from Pennsylvania to Las Vegas then deadhead to California for sensitive produce back to Pennsylvania. Each driver did 650 miles a day (1,300 total daily) only stopped for fuel and 30 min break. We would run 8 weeks straight and then 1 week off. Could only do it for a year before going solo. That was my good ole days for me. Money was great but it took a toll on the family
To much is not healthy thank goodness you found another opportunity
Love your style Kurt! How about some closeups of tacho & foot pedals /movements? lol Take offs & stoppings.
I should try that pedal thing sometime
I bought some of those more expensive wiper’s and they didn’t last a bit longer for the car. Still just got a little over a year with them. I think the same company makes them all. Y’all stay safe and havagudun.
Maybe Wilmington North Carolina?
