A little extra growl to the truck. You listen to your truck and it has probably saved you $ by getting ahead of a repair before things get bad. You listen to your body and get that epic nap in. That's good too. I hope you avoided the storms yesterday. I'm praying for everyone in Iowa that got hit hard. Safe travels and God bless.
Opie is a good looking fellow. Naps a good things when we're adults. Best nap I ever had was when I was dreaming of taking a nap. It was hard to wake up from that one. Sometimes our bodies need the reset that the nap gives us. You're right. When you drive a vehicle for a long time you pick up on when they needs some work done. On a old pickup once I was driving it and I was getting a vibration that wasn't right. It was the u-joint by the axel. The needle bearings had went out. I spent the afternoon replacing both u-joint. Thanks for letting us ride along. Give Opie a belly rub and stay safe. Good night all and God bless each of you.
Yes, I did see the bad weather go through your area. Even though I live in Kentucky I notice your weather when it gets rough. Hoping you and Opie always stay safe out there. Love you and your family and God bless you always!
Reason they are switchin power light poles from the old white to blue lights is because it is easier on eyes for eye strain.... It also reflects more light to see road lines better & to see road signs better since signs and road lines are luminescent they glow and are much easier to see at night and it attracts farless bugs as well
It's funny how a small thing like a sound you think you've heard, becomes so important you search it out . Then the satisfaction of your repair is spot on .
Never get tired of the good tunes looking over that old hood.Hope I can get back out someday and see my own hood.Test come back not so good for me,all because I worried too much about doing my job,making a buck,and driving a truck.A simple CT Scan in yr or so ago would have be nice maybe found this stuff early.Think about us Old timers like me and Rostabout seems we never take time to Rest and get checked out.Thanks buddy for this one to.Injoyed it very much.Time to rest.May have to start some big R work tomorrow.Later My Friend .Truck safe.
Hi Kurt & Opie. Great vlog. Thank you 4 taking us along. Did you or your folks get any damage or power outage with the wind storm last week? We got damage from our neighbor's tree & we lost power until they restored it on Monday afternoon. About 2,110 people are still with out power. Have a blessed night. Tell the fam Hi from me. Tell your dogs I said Hi. 💕🙏😉😆👍🏼
Those new blue lights they've been putting them up all around that area messes with your eyes alittle when your around them. Not sure if its the new energy saving lights or if they are for bugs but they're annoying while driving. That's the truck stop I frequent in Sabetha I get dispatched from that Mill in Fairview just to the southeast of Sabetha. I was in Topeka both days you were just at different times lol. Be safe out there and hope to see you on the road sometime.
Well did you stop? You forgot didn’t you!!! Lol You didn’t take the wrong turn did you?? You know we all worry when you make two mistakes in the same day? Then you didn’t drop the trailer off right?? Lol You wonder why Opie looks at you funny sometimes??? Lol Just giving you some 💩 lol Drive safe!!
You will want to cultivate the nap routine! Almost all of my male friends in the 60/70+ range have worked it in to the daily plan. It can be very restorative in as little as 20 minute episodes but that varies depending on what you need. There is a special zone around 2 pm that's just about golden for me. OTOH, mid-morning, say 10:30, just a short nap can provide a real energy boost. That hours of service regulations do not take into consideration that everyone has unique rest requirements. Sugar and caffeine do more to screw up optimal nap time more than just about anything imaginable. For those who can pick up a sugar high, you also learn how it goes when the sugar has been metabolized!
Hey, Topeka Native, I see you enter I-70 and 2nd and Madison, a much easier/safer entry way is going West Bound on 1st, keep going past Topeka Blvd and you’ll get right to another I-70 West entry ramp, atleast most of the time it makes a difference, sometimes now. Just looking out for y’all, some Topekans can’t drive on that turn
Yes you had some really bad storms yesterday and last night. I wished we got some rain in Lincoln area lol. your doing a great job Kurt keep Opie safe and brushed lol. yes don't forget to stop at the Casino for fuel lol your great Kurt Stay safe and keep Opie with you also he's your family literally!! So glad you didn't miss your turn today I hated that when I did that in a semi and someone would tell me about it also. can't turn those around on a dime sorry to say lol yes the tone is different of First Class she does sound off I hear it a hissing?
Think i need a Epic nap or good night sleep!! Seen that blue haze and Holler No Stop Don't do that to First Class!! Looked like you was going into a swimming pool!!!! Be safe out there Brother Peace give Opie some Love !!!!
our town has the same light bulbs installed.. we were told by our town that they are blue because the light bulbs are defective and that they will be replace because they are under warranty
What a pain in the butt, having a leak in one pipe especially with those straight stacks. Loved the blue street lights, I'm light sensitive and found the blue quite easy on my eyes. Same thing with your red dash lights, we are not supposed to change our dash bulbs out for colour bulbs and it seems that we can't get dimmer switches fitted now days either. Would Opie wear a raincoat if I got him one? Thinking of a great Aussie company that do the best coats for humans and dog humans to. Called Dryz-a-bone and they are like oilskins. The ones for humans are mid calf length and the dog ones just have straps to go around their bellies. Let me know what your thoughts on one for him. Be blessed mate, love seeing you back on the road again but equally love your family vids.
Best sleep I've ever had was in d sleeper of a big truck!! N a knapp in dem can consume u!! We all been dere ,done it,n understand it !! N dats y U keep a dog in a truck!! Plus dey keep u on d toes!! N strait up skippy!!
Another great video as usual. I get a kick out of seeing Opie comedown those stairs, nothing to it for him. Storms are normally not a dogs best friend. They can turn into nervous Nelly's real quick.
Glad to see you still out there hauling loads. Haven’t been on in awhile to watch an episode just moved from east central iowa to north western Wisconsin to haul fuel. Stay safe out there!
have you guys ever seen the knudsen trucking trailers or trucks out there thats who i used to drive for in late 70s mid 80s they used to have 200 trucks but the old man dyed so now its one son running the company leases and owner ops..it got way downsized the other 2 sons wanted to do nothing with dads rules they left.one has a box truck buisness in mpls mn
Everytime I get down by Hills, which isn't very often, I keep an eye out for you. Some day maybe we can meet. The lights are defective LEDs, I call the K-State purple.
So I was sitting here in the truck taking a little break having a little something to eat, and I was listening to your video and watching your video but listening to it through the stereo system of the truck and I was like man listen to that truck. First of all I was like man I could just play the sound of his truck through my stereo and pretend like I have a real truck and not a bubble truck although I have the Kenworth t680 it's still a bubble truck with a grass burner so then I was like man that's kind of loud I don't know how he can stand that all day seems louder than normal LOL sorry bro you'll get her fixed
My Uncle learned the hard way about getting rest and taking a nap. He was up at least 20 hours a day along with being on call. It took a toll on his body.
We've been getting a lot of rain up here in Michigan is getting ridiculous been like this for over a month having flooding problems on the interstate I know what it is but I'm not going to get people worked up
I heard that German shepherds don't like fireworks and really loud noises because they can't figure out what it is if it's storms really good my dog will scratch at my room door till I let him in
My dogs funny. 8 1/2 pound Morkie (Maltese & Yorkie). Thunder Bangers and even Fireworks (that could wake the dead) don't bother her. She's quite content to continue laying at my feet, while I'm working in the office. I've even run a 3 1/2 hp router and had wood chips flying and covering my pup. But if I grab a hammer to tap a nail in? She run's and hides under the bed, before I even tap that nail. Go figure.?
Blue lights normally are to show support for the police force. Green lights is to show support for Veterans. I'm not sure if that's why Topeka KS had blue lights, but that's my 2 cents. Lol.
she sounds like she has a cold ... much more base to that growl ... in my ears anyway ... Just curious ... Have you ever had to endure a tornado in the truck?
We had two Tornado’s in eastern Iowa. Kurt remember me asking about you taking the 280 to 74. I know you said weigh station but on the second to last off for Iowa on 280 & 61 HWY exist is a there building a NEW Kwik Star! It looks like they are having a large parking for Big Trucks so I Just wanted you too know. It’s Blue because it’s for the support of the police. Back the Blue. Your small town didn't have a deal to put a blue light on your house? Lol
Live in Topeka. They're actually blue/purple because of a malfunction in the street lights, across Kansas. Make it really hard to see. www.ksnt.com/news/local-news/evergy-working-to-replace-5700-blue-purple-street-lights/
Opie is such a good dog! He's priceless!
Best sleep ever while listening to the rain......😇
A little extra growl to the truck. You listen to your truck and it has probably saved you $ by getting ahead of a repair before things get bad. You listen to your body and get that epic nap in. That's good too. I hope you avoided the storms yesterday. I'm praying for everyone in Iowa that got hit hard. Safe travels and God bless.
24 tornadoes in iowa yesterday. I hope everyone is ok.
I love the music on here.❤❤ Great video. More scenery 🎉🎉🎉.
Kurt….. that’s not a shelf, it’s a dunlop. As in, it’s dun lopped over your belt. Happy truckin’. We appreciate what you do
Opie is a good looking fellow.
Naps a good things when we're adults. Best nap I ever had was when I was dreaming of taking a nap. It was hard to wake up from that one. Sometimes our bodies need the reset that the nap gives us.

Yes, I did see the bad weather go through your area. Even though I live in Kentucky I notice your weather when it gets rough. Hoping you and Opie always stay safe out there. Love you and your family and God bless you always!
Yup, just a lot of rain. I think it was 5 inches in 2 hours
Reason they are switchin power light poles from the old white to blue lights is because it is easier on eyes for eye strain.... It also reflects more light to see road lines better & to see road signs better since signs and road lines are luminescent they glow and are much easier to see at night and it attracts farless bugs as well
First Class just sounds so good, music to my ears. You really know how drive a Cat. Stay Safe.
Always nice to see your videos of NE Kansas. Seen you drove through my hometown of Holton again. Have a great weekend my friend.
It's funny how a small thing like a sound you think you've heard, becomes so important you search it out . Then the satisfaction of your repair is spot on .
Thanks again for all of the effort for our entertainment. Keep the shiny side up
They're expensive, but some Dynaflex stacks would look great, sound great and last a long time
Never get tired of the good tunes looking over that old hood.Hope I can get back out someday and see my own hood.Test come back not so good for me,all because I worried too much about doing my job,making a buck,and driving a truck.A simple CT Scan in yr or so ago would have be nice maybe found this stuff early.Think about us Old timers like me and Rostabout seems we never take time to Rest and get checked out.Thanks buddy for this one to.Injoyed it very much.Time to rest.May have to start some big R work tomorrow.Later My Friend .Truck safe.

Welcome to Sabetha!! I’m sorry that the salad wasn’t that great 😂 nice to see first class stop once in a while in Northeast Kansas. Safe travels!
empty #10 can cut up the middle and 2 clamps might fix your exhaust ?? nice drive 😁🖐
my theory on the blue lights, they are for night truckers at night time, making it easier making their turns around business.
Drive safe and safe travels 👍🏼

I love watching lightning and rain in the dark but watch from inside lol
Kurt i was thinking of you and the family yesterday with those tornadoes in iowa. Hope everyone is safe.
Ya we were good this time
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 thats great.
Another great video as usual. I get a kick out of seeing Opie comedown those stairs, nothing to it for him. Storms are normally not a dogs best friend. They can turn into nervous
Nelly's real quick.
Glad to see you still out there hauling loads. Haven’t been on in awhile to watch an episode just moved from east central iowa to north western Wisconsin to haul fuel. Stay safe out there!
Maintenance maintenance and more maintenance. Be safe
have you guys ever seen the knudsen trucking trailers or trucks out there thats who i used to drive for in late 70s mid 80s they used to have 200 trucks but the old man dyed so now its one son running the company leases and owner ops..it got way downsized the other 2 sons wanted to do nothing with dads rules they left.one has a box truck buisness in mpls mn
Kurt you are becoming a better filmmaker 👍
Thank you
OIC! I'm in western Kansas and we're dry, dry, DRY! we live along Hwy 183 just 3 mi. South of the Nebraska border.😊
Everytime I get down by Hills, which isn't very often, I keep an eye out for you. Some day maybe we can meet.
The lights are defective LEDs, I call the K-State purple.

My Uncle learned the hard way about getting rest and taking a nap. He was up at least 20 hours a day along with being on call. It took a toll on his body.
Supposedly the blue lights are because of a shortage in the normal lights. We have a few here in Manhattan (50 miles west of Topeka) as well.
I built that turn for you, Kurt.
For a second you teased me with that triple axle stepdeck.
schmidt thats the cleanest iv seen your wind shield! lol
We've been getting a lot of rain up here in Michigan is getting ridiculous been like this for over a month having flooding problems on the interstate I know what it is but I'm not going to get people worked up
I’m building an ark here in Durand. No insects no snakes.
Fantastic video...you are the best....why didn’t you duct tape the exhaust?
There we go
I heard that German shepherds don't like fireworks and really loud noises because they can't figure out what it is if it's storms really good my dog will scratch at my room door till I let him in
As a rule, most all dogs fear thunder, not just particular breed. 🙂
Minor problem. Still better than a truck payment. Could always sleep good in winter with the cat idling . Hang in there
Hey Kurt, we hear Opey talk all the time, how about getting First Class to talk to us.
sounds like you unplugged your headers. you are probably getting standing water down in the pipes. do you cover them?
I haven't been, but we usually don't get 5inches in 2 hours lol.
I used to sleep in them leaky ole trucks.. I'm amazed I'm not dead from NOX poisoning!!
They're defective!!! The manufacture has to send replacement parts!!!
ha ha ha ha Curtis your truck is too loud and you had a power nap or siesta
Sometimes you just got a nap🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏
The father son walks and talks
Drive a log truck and you will hear snap, crackle, pop all the time!!
I bet
Sometimes you just gotta have that nap Kurt, Take Care Mate
What pet step do you have that fits the W9 so perfectly?
Amazon snaggle paw
Enjoyed this one. Opine rules.
Sometimes you need an epic nap! Other folks just don't understand.
Jayhawk basketball colors!
My dogs funny. 8 1/2 pound Morkie (Maltese & Yorkie). Thunder Bangers and even Fireworks (that could wake the dead) don't bother her. She's quite content to continue laying at my feet, while I'm working in the office. I've even run a 3 1/2 hp router and had wood chips flying and covering my pup.

Go figure.?
Blue lights normally are to show support for the police force. Green lights is to show support for Veterans. I'm not sure if that's why Topeka KS had blue lights, but that's my 2 cents. Lol.
If you drive a truck every day you can tell buy Listening at the motor if something is different in the sound be safe
Sometimes you just have to take a epic nap.
Yeah the right turn
Maybe you'll change 1st class to money pit , just kidding , keep up the good work on opies trucking channel lol
she sounds like she has a cold ... much more base to that growl ... in my ears anyway ... Just curious ... Have you ever had to endure a tornado in the truck?

When it comes to those blue some purple street lights Evergy energy says they're defective, they hurt my eyes at night. 😵
Must have been that Bad Salad

How did you come up with the name you gave your 🚚
Moving up from a 40 inch sleeper to a 86 in studio with a couch
Ah more of that great weather.
My cat doesn't like thunder storms either.
What's up
Did you notice what Opie was chasing on his hunt 26:11 into this video?
The German is protecting his Dad , a nap is never a bad thing
Send that rain to north east.
Please all stores return Kurt's addiction to rice crispys with marshmallows plz
Same reat stop. Lol.
Free wash
Where you going yesterday
Topeka
Hey you can re-engine and get a cat 1693 or 3408....rattle city😜😜
You know, you must feed the machine that feeds you. Bank about $3000 and its fresh and new.
On a average, about how many miles do you drive a year?
Used to be 150 it's been around 100 to 120 lately. This year thou it will probably be under 100
