As we find ourselves on a gravel road Detour we see a Brutal Reminder of how fast things change. Hat, Clothes, Stickers www.truckingwithschmidt.com Cheeseburger Fund www.paypal.me/... #trucklife #germanshepherd #kenworthtrucks
When dad taught me to drive a rig, back in '63, one of the things he drummed into my brain was, there's no excuse for a chargeable accident. Guess that's why I never had one. Thanks, dad! -Scorpio
When your road companion has four legs & fur,you always cater to them first lol.They may not be the best conversationalist,but they’ll always be at your side and you sir between that smart handsome fella & first class and a beautiful family waiting for you back home have the most a man can ask for! Stay safe driver & thank you for sharing your adventures.
I'm glad to see we're not the only well trained humans! 🤣🤣 Our pups have us wrapped and Opie is leader! They are so loyal & loveable! Be safe out there, watch out for Opie!
Regarding hamburgers for your dog. Check the ingredients and make sure the burger you are giving him does not contain onion powder. Onions will destroy a dogs kidneys. Garlic is just as bad. It can also cause anemia, lethargy.....etc.
At about 6 years of age my German Shepherd decided he wasn't all that interested in the dry food we had been giving him for all those years. We switched to Zignature Kangaroo dry food and added a ground chicken meal product called Magic Dinner Dust. My boy would try to lick the chrome off the bowl when we added that dust. He made it to 12 1/2 and was trim and active. Hope you and Opie have a very long happy life. Thanks for your great videos.
31 years on Crescent Iroquois FPD Crescent City Il a small rural volunteer like so many departments around America 🇺🇸. We handled many calls on Rt-24 plus lots of Chicago traffic on N-S Rt49. We were there to help on people’s worse day ❤️ We did stop rerouting traffic especially since lots of drivers are not use to or trained to drive on rural roads and causing more accidents. Sadly major incidents are a shutdown of the road for 4-6 hours Be Safe out there Opie
When my dad was young some guy said he was going to commit suicide to the gas station clerk. When my dad was coming through with a full load of steers he pulled out in front of him and my dad ended up on his side with cattle everywhere, people can’t just deal with themselves they have to always involve others. Sad.
Back in the 80's I sold Peterbilts. My spec's were used by the dealership to finally come into the MODERN AGE. Through my ability to spec TOP-OF-THE-LINE ROAD TRACTORS we stocked long-nose 359's with 60 inch sleepers (BIG back in those days ! ). Tractors had ALL THE CHROME I could find including dual air cleaners and FOUR large air horns ! * ! * ! You've WON MY OVER to Kenworth's LUV your rig. Keep up the GOOD WORK. JimInCincy.....
Hi Kurt & Opie. Another great vlog. Thank you 4 taking us along. Nice 2 get 1st class all cleaned up. Not sure if you'll put a vlog out tomorrow. Happy Father's Day to you & to your Dad. Enjoy your time together.💕 Our son & his team lost 10-9 today in the tournament. They played hard. Great season. ⚾️🌭👍🏼
Used to work accidents like those for many years Kurt. Was in the towing & recovery business for over 26 years sir. Never a good sight to see. Prayers for those involved. Happy Father’s Day to you & your dad! Blessings to you both!
O-H-I-O Porter greetings.🇺🇸 This is one I hadn’t seen yet. Getting caught up. Don’t you just love those dusty gravel roads!? 😵💫 Most of the time they’re mainly one lane roads & the people behind you get tired of your dust & try to pass you!😠 Oh, the. The dust can catch up with you. You had a better shot of the wreck than we did, not that we really wanted to see it. I hate when a truck is involved in any crash. It usually tends to make me shiver a bit.😵💫 It’s good when they treat you with respect & just let you know what the situation is, but don’t forget to show them respect as well. I learned from my big brother to take it slow & easy as much as possible & not get into a rush. That kind of driving can save you a lot of headaches!🧐 Glad you guys are OK! 🥰🤩✌️
I was born in Norton Kansas . I worked part time at a truck stop in the early 70s that was located where the Casey’s is now. That was when you got your windshield washed and didn’t have to pump your own fuel.I hope you enjoyed your trip through western Kansas. Stay safe out there.
You might want to check out the front end, poss tires steering rod tie rod ends, I swa the steering shaking a lot on the Garden City Load. I drove a truck for forty years when the steering wheel shakes something is wrong. Love youe videos and your family.
I hope you know that people think they run the world but I differ all the animals that I know my horse, a dog and my cats they run the world. We’re just here to serve them. I know you know that good job nice video new site really like it.
Hi Kurt & Opie, hope you are both well. My brothers dog had an issue with dried food and the vet told us it because it absorbs a lot of moisture once it enters the body. They told us to try putting the food into a bowl and adding a small amount of Luke warm water to it 10 mins before feeding the dog. It just softens the food before eating. Seems to have work as they’ve had no further problems. Hope this helps.
yep some dogs have a preference of what type of food and won't eat other types for quite awhile, which makes one go ahead and feed them what they prefer due to seeing them not eat for awhile. example, doggo does'nt like the ''wet'' type of food , yet you give him the same in a different type of form, (packed and just slides out with a lot more scent to it,that is a winner.) well anyways that was different seeing your truck on the backroads.. you and opie have a good day , along with the whole family.
I'm still a little behind on your videos as I just got back from a vacation in Wisconsin, but I sure hope everyone involved was okay. Good job Opie, for helping your dad navigate around the corner!
when i'm driving I give a semi a wide birth. except when following. I have been known to draft a semi to save a bit on fuel. My mom used to yell at me about it lol.
Great videos! For your family you should have seat belt on! 😀Never know what could happen and if you have watched any videos ! You know what can happen if your thrown around in the cab!
I noticed you are keeping the revs at a minimum when upshifting good way to save fuel that kitty cat has a lot of torque no need to make it scream Good job
It happens too fast and too often. My husband and I were on our way to the Tri-State Gas Engine and Tractor show in Portland, IN and got hit. We were pulled well off of the road with our show trailer and old camper rig (the old high rise) when a guy in a pickup ran a stop sign at the intersection behind us, crossed 4 lanes and hit an empty grain hauler. It tipped the semi over and sent the works sliding into us. It was a clear day with visibility of 4 miles each direction. If we hadn't had the larger truck, I don't know what would have happened. That was 7 years ago and it still affects me. Please stay safe and God bless.
Do like I do 40%dry60% wet mix with a little hot water to loosen up kibble that,way he's getting the kibble unbeknownst to him, dont give in with full can just give a tinny peice of treat if he eats that tinny peice you know he's being stubborn, IDK what ur feeding but my guys love the Purina Pro plan wet/dry combo P.S. don't forget the cosaquin and omega 3's and plz give a "pre" biotic not just a "pro"biotic for digestive health all come in tasty chew form ECCPECIALLY if he's using stairs all the time cosaquin very important, keep the shinny side up driver happy truckin...p.s.s I'm a big KW fan and I love your truck
With all that open land farmers should be working. And plenty land for factory's to be working. 80 thousands pounds compared to 3600 pounds. And still 🚗 can't figure why it so difficult for a 🚛 to stop. Happy Father day to you and yours and B SAFE 🐕🦺🚛💨💨💨💨
My dad taught me how to drive a truck and how to look ahead and watch the people down the road 🫣gives you a whole new outlook I would dang near brake at every cross road until I got used to it 🙈people run up on stops at full speed scares you to death. Learning things like at red lights the don’t walk will start flashing at the intersection before it goes yellow then red gives you something to watch giving you a few extra seconds to judge your plan 👍😎😎Rickster
Absolutely brilliant once again as always Kurt and I have to say that Opie definitely knows how to play the game regarding his food you both take good care of yourselves won't you Kurt
I remember when that truck stop in Garden City first opened up stayed there plenty of time's while waiting to loaded out of the meat plant? Haven't been there in yrs though
You feed him wet cause you love him as i do mine and i give mine a cheeseburger plan every friday and can and dry the rest of the time she is 5 years old and the vet says she is ok
My brother im about to get addicted to your show ,it's actually a really good video excellent content your buddy is awesome ,there so much company I've got a growth that stays on me 💯% of the time and wouldn't have it any other way lol ,keep um coming
98 percent of all truck vs car collisions it's usually the car's fault. The best protection for truckers from truck accident chasing lawyers is a forward facing dash cam. It's cheap insurance.
Hi whatcha up to hope all is well hugs prayers 4 healing and unspoken also prayers 4 everyone and bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels and happy hauling in the name of the Creator God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost Amen much honor and respect keep walking tall prayers 4 healing 4 those in that accident / crash too and yall be safe keep on keeping on like ur videos bro hearing the turbo spooling is cool yeppers cool and be safe would take ur pw pw with u too never know what ppl got in their minds good u r safe on that gravel road 🚌⛺🌅🌌🌄🏞🏖 👍👍💪🙂👍👍
Hi Kurt, good video and good to see Opie feeling better. You’ve never shown you running with your two new Cbie lights on unless I miss it. Your thoughts on adding them. Thanks and God Bless
That accident looked serious ... fatality? ... Love your channel, love the older classic trucks ... if you want to see tons of old pete 379's and W-9"s , even cabovers ... watch "Rocky Mountain Bull Hauler" . ...also - people say you need more "chicken lights" to make the truck light up at night ... an instructor at our trucking school said that's nice, but if DOT stops you and even one light bulb is burned out, they can write you up (or maybe they use LED's now) . BSafe.
