I’ve been in that chapel a few times when it was first put in there. Only thing about on and off lanes. Armed robbers like to knock on your door(Your gonna react thinking it’s a cop) but it’s a gun and your gonna open the door with a gun on you. Now the robber gets on the best road to get away there is the E-way. A lil story from a state cop that swore me off those lanes after explaining my same exact genius I thought thinking….You are the man brother best thing on trucking. You and the O.T.R. Bandit.
Kurt when I was in Air Force 1966-1970 in Tucson an airman in a barracks across mine had two tarantulas he kept. Would take them out every day or so and let them run around his room.
My brother and I had one when we were kids. Escaped it's aquarium. Couldn't find it for days. One hot day I turned the floor fan on. I found it. No more tarantula.
Kurt take the floor out and put in a product called Lizard skin. You can spay it in and then put over that is another product called Road Kill it is used for sound deadening and heat reflection and then put the old floor back in you will be amazed how much cooler the inside of your truck will be.
Oh no….that is the size of tarantulas in OK - we lived in Antlers, OK & I had a couple of run ins with some that were the size of dinner plates!! 😮 Opie is a handsome pup ❤
I just returned from a vet visit with my old dog. They have a fairly new treatment for older dogs with arthritis. He gets a shot once a month and some chews “ one of the first meds he will take willingly “. Some folks told me it really works and the vet guaranteed them. He gets two chews a day for 6 weeks then it cuts back to one a day. L will let you know how it works. Y’all havagudun and stay safe.
kurt no worries your power station is not the worst thing that people have posted on UA-cam or social media LOL no seriously it isn't you're showing us your power station shows that you are a man that can come up with a reasonable solution to problem it also shows that you are a man not defeated by a problem or challenges you face 🙂.
Parking in a manner that shades the cabin or the ground around it makes a huge difference. Utilize the shadows from your own trailer or someone else's.
I think you sent the heat my way lol. 96 degrees here today. I live in a basement and usually those are cool but not here. its hot lol Like your truck, this place is not sealed lol
Out in AZ there is a stretch of road from Patagonia to Huachuca City where the tarantulas come out from the desert and cross the road. There are hundreds of them when the temps are up .
Funny how you mentioned free candy in the empty only to find someone enjoyed it. My 2 best scores were a full pallet of bounty towels (that went home to Mom) and pallets of cereal that went to a church's food pantry.😊
Hi there! Been following your channel for awhile now, great content Sir. Been driving for 44 yrs, now just part time when needed. When I ran in hot weather, I would close off the sleeper from the cab with the curtain, made a big difference in cooling the cab. Just my experience Be safe!
Poor Opie looks like he's moving through sub-Saharan Africa 😆. You need a 50-amp breaker on that cig plug set-up. Maybe a lighter colored shirt, and a hat, at 6' 4" that dome is close to the sun. Stay cool.
Hi…fairly new subscriber here…I noticed at 2:47 a lesion on your right ear. I urge you to get that checked out. My husband had a similar lesion(on his ear)removed.
No need to get a new windshield. Use Bon Ami or Barkeepers Friend. Both are a scouring cleanser that's safe on glass. It'll pull all the oils out of the ports surface and leave your windshield like new
Hey man hows it going kurt been a while sincei last left a comment. See the heat is bad with you dude. I wouldn,t like to touch your reflector above your windshield it being metal you could prob fry an egg on it.poor opie he does not like the heat i think you can now get a portable chiller and hook it up to your DC supply from your batteries with an inline fuse for safety kurt might help keep you cooler than than the aux fans you have bro.well kurt take care lovin the videos still even if you look like (temp) orange lol.😅 All the best Tosh.
Dang good Mexican food trucks in Wisconsin too. Janesville and Beloit, both in the Menards parking lots. Equivalent or better than Laredo in my opinion
Holy Iceland that is warm. Don't fret its cracked 80 in the UP of MI! It was 100 in Detroit.😂 Them dogs have the idea, wear a jean jacket in that weather is what we did in TX all summer. It acutally helps keep you cool.
Sounds like your love affair for guacamole is similar to mine. We had 5 trees on the property where I grew up(1/2 acre). Had to be careful where I stepped, avocados are like dog poop with a rock in the middle, comes off of shoes just like dog poop except no smell. Actually I used to eat avocado sandwiches, sliced, not mashed up. Been a longtime since my last one. The only thing worse than a tarantula, is a barking spider, they stink. LOL stay safe!
Good morning from Brisbane, Australia to you Kurt and Opie. Like watching your videos. We are in the middle of winter here but it doesn't snow where I am but it is still cold. Have a great day and stay safe on the road.
Best way to eat from a Mexican food truck. Make sure there's a shitter nearby 😂 best food truck I've ever had was in LA, one pulled into the lot while I was waiting to be unloaded, the whole warehouse crew came out so I figured it must be awesome. It was.
At 2:06 the image. Holding the gun to his ear, looking at a phone, with 2 watches... The only thing correct is him looking at the phone. Seems like the messaging is dont be an idiot and text and drive. If its not that, than I dont know what it means. Strange.
In my past truck driving experiences driving company trucks, not many ever had a great cab AC. Is your ac not putting out like it should or is the insulation not what it should be? 100 is hot as I know living in SC. As for keeping cool, I am one that has to have air moving. I think that might be you too. I can take less ac but if the fans are not blowing, it is not for me. In my working career, I was a crane operator for many years and the old machine I had did not have AC. But I had two fans blowing on me all the time. Without those fans, it was very hard to stay in the seat. Retires now and my house is COOL.
Have to argue with you on this foodie truck thing I am also a trucker and I have had Mexican food from California to the Carolina’s and hands down Southern California has the best Mexican food beats Laredo. Although Laredo has some great Mexican food but it’s a close second place to Southern California Mexican food
Thank you for your work in putting together these videos. I really like them, I have been on disability now for 5mths, don't like it at all. I would like to ask you please put Opie , Jax and Sarah in more videos. Also you really do make good family videos. German Shepherds rule 4EVER. Have you and yourfamily ever considered getting some Dachshunds? Especially Longhair Dachshind. You have a really nice family. Thank you again Kurt, you even include your Mom and Dad and their German. Is that German related to Jax?
Those W900 are mexicans trucks they had the mexican plate most of them come from Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua a big menonite comunity their Greeting from the state of Chihuahua, México Kurt love your videos awsome keep it up 💪
Dude!@!!!!!!! You never wanted to stop to capture that Tarantula 🕷 ?????? That would have been way cool to take home, your son would have loved it!!!!! It was that big ??? Cmon man you can do it!!!
It's true. high temps and high humidity makes for very uncomfortable situations. My 24 years at a steel production mill weren't all that comfortable either. Working on overhead cranes, sometimes the temps reached well above 135°, just a mite more uncomfortable. Now age 85, I would not want to do that again. Be kind to yourself and Opie, nibble away at those air leaks so you both can be very comfortable. Stay well. Thankee for the ride.
Interior pull around curtain that covers the windows and windshield when parked will greatly reduce interior temp of your truck especially if parked facing the sun as I am sure you are already aware.
Agree Kurt, our 2 lane roads although scenic they can shake your eye teeth out. I stay at our terminals when possible, the truckstops can be a crap shoot. Sorry Oklahoma turned up the heat for you and opie. Stay safe driver. Currently laying over in Atlanta at our terminal, deliver in NC tomorrow.

Yep, my cousin kept one when he was growing up. No, a person needs to worry about brown recluses and black widows-not so much tarantulas.
My brother and I had one when we were kids. Escaped it's aquarium. Couldn't find it for days. One hot day I turned the floor fan on. I found it. No more tarantula.

I was at the k River and never saw one! Or I would still be running ! Yikes

Ceramic Limo tint on ALL the windows in the sleeper. New thermal insulation will DEFINITELY be AWESOME like U mentioned Mr Kurt
"It's not an issue if it works." 🤣🤣🤣 There ya go!👍
My philosophy is "if it works, is it really a dumb idea"
Stay cool keep your self hydrated
Thank you again for the interested video.❤❤❤❤❤
kurt no worries your power station is not the worst thing that people have posted on UA-cam or social media LOL no seriously it isn't you're showing us your power station shows that you are a man that can come up with a reasonable solution to problem it also shows that you are a man not defeated by a problem or challenges you face 🙂.
Let's not forget about the awesomeness 😎 of the stryker cb radio with lava lamp.....anytime now..

Hello 👋 Kurt and Family 👍💪🏻❤️✌️☮️
Always get the guac. it's like cake. Thanks for another great video! Your daughter got your music talent.
thanks one again for showing us how its done, Kurt!!!!!!!
You are a "case". I enjoy you all. God bless
Stay hydrated. The summer is going to be a very hot one.
You know them black shirts you wear attracts heat, you should make some white ones for the summertime, black clothing isnt all that.
Yeah summer is a bad time for wearing the Johnny Cash clothing line 😅

I keep a frozen bottle of water in truck freezer. Then put it on my dogs belly when she get overheated. It cools them down quick.
Was thru Great Bende yesterday on way to Sioux Falls from Casa Grande, AZ. 6/18/24
Poor Opie looks like he's moving through sub-Saharan Africa 😆. You need a 50-amp breaker on that cig plug set-up. Maybe a lighter colored shirt, and a hat, at 6' 4" that dome is close to the sun. Stay cool.
Billy didn't write that song but he did redo it a little different and it made him a lot of money
Kurt, the only song you should sing is "Far away".....the further the better
Tucson arizona has some mighty fine food trucks..
Opie needs a pillow. 😊
It's very relaxing and enjoyable watching your videos 📸📸❤❤
'uber dad dog stairs' is something he should sell
Hi…fairly new subscriber here…I noticed at 2:47 a lesion on your right ear. I urge you to get that checked out. My husband had a similar lesion(on his ear)removed.
Drove in between storms on the way to York NE.
I would love to thorughly investigate whats in the junk drawer, looks like a gold mine to me.❤
No need to get a new windshield. Use Bon Ami or Barkeepers Friend. Both are a scouring cleanser that's safe on glass. It'll pull all the oils out of the ports surface and leave your windshield like new
108 f yesterday and 109 f today wednesday ! one more day then it cools off a few degrees ! lol ! those temps are with the humidex ! 🥵
Got my steps on amazon also. Good job Opie!!❤
HAPPY BELATED FATHERS DAY TO YOU KURT AND YOUR DAD AND TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE
Hey man hows it going kurt been a while sincei last left a comment.

Hi Kurt and Opie
An unofficial crossover with Jerry Rig Everything lol
I'm with you on the guacamole, Avocado and therefore guacamole is disgusting green slime
Thanks for the ride Kurt!
Kool stuff Kurt keep on trucking
Dang good Mexican food trucks in Wisconsin too. Janesville and Beloit, both in the Menards parking lots. Equivalent or better than Laredo in my opinion

Oh wow!
guacamole--its good stuff with a little pepper --actually heathy
if you took 1 day during your time off you could eleminate some of those problems a little quicker . thats what i did with mine.
I try, and I fail
Did I hear you right ? You said you are 6’4. And 325 ?
Maybe get your air conditioning fixed. It's only June. I like it a lot when you show city and river identifiers, and you show signs a lot. Thank you.
It works great, I just need to seal the truck up.
When my dad "repairs" something he always said: if it still works tomorrow, dont touch it.
Lol agree with him
I don’t see how some people can work all night and sleep during the day. If there is any light what so ever I can’t sleep.
First class would look better if you got the hood cleaned up with a new paint job
100% couldn't agree more.
We are going to hit 100 some time tomorrow
Where 100

K. Where does your family get your G. Shepards
I got mine from a couple by Sheldon iowa
Thanks, I'll try and find them
Good morning from Brisbane, Australia to you Kurt and Opie. Like watching your videos. We are in the middle of winter here but it doesn't snow where I am but it is still cold. Have a great day and stay safe on the road.
For the short term. Put down a double layer of terry cloth beach towels on the floor. You won't believe how much that helps.
Great tip!
Kurt, you are just a-dork-able!
Opie would fight that spider to the death if he had gotten into the cab No Kurt no cheeseburgers
Best way to eat from a Mexican food truck. Make sure there's a shitter nearby 😂 best food truck I've ever had was in LA, one pulled into the lot while I was waiting to be unloaded, the whole warehouse crew came out so I figured it must be awesome. It was.
When was this video made?...🤔
what do you think about stevens transport out of dallas have you heard anything good or bad about them
I've seen them, but don't know anything about them. Sorry
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 no worries I start with them at their trucking school monday
You better find a cool spot!

Getting a new windshield is like getting new glasses. After ya look through them ya wonder why ya didn’t do it years ago.

Insulation is horrible
KURT: Just a question
The merch you have - do you send it out overseas too..?
Would love to get some - to South Africa
What some call a wiring problem we call a wiring solution!!!
98 that's warm wait till it's 115 with about 85% humidity
