Mike, German Shepherds are known to have hip displacement when they get older. It might be his personality, but the medicine won’t hurt him if he doesn’t have bad hips.
Kurt you are a class act supporting your kids and their school. You do a lot to help out. Those banners were a very nice gesture. You just don't get to hang them out for nothing. That was a nice donation. 👌
Love that smile when you took time to show us how you support the local school teams and town recreations Kurt! A well deserved smile Sir! As I've stated in the past, you Sir are a great example of America! Small town, big city it doesn't matter for YOU are a fine example of a good parent who goes 5he extra mile to support and nurture his offspring, while helping other young future americans... Be proud Sir, like Troy and Tater should be of their parents! Taking time to see Tater perform, Troy run track and football, Tater play volleyball and still drive for 5he music dept when needed is outstanding! Uber MOM and DAD should be proud on how their upbringing of YOU, has molded YOU into a great DAD! Lets not forget that behind every KURT their is a great women behind him. Thanks for the great content always and I apoligize for being long-winded, but sincere! Gilbert Alicea from NYC ❤
Schmidt enjoy your videos! You are wholesome, not complaining. I've watched other trucker videos and come back to yours-wholesome and fun to watch! I pray the LORD continues to watch over you and Opie on your travels and also blessings to your family! 😊😇
That answered my previous question perfectly, Kurt! Thank you! And, I agree- your solitude during break-time is well worth a half gallon an hour! That’s the price of Safety! 👍
Like the part of the video backing up to connect to the trailer especially the part where the camera is positioned behind the sleeper unit of the tractor
WOW thats awsome banner...we were on vacationing in IOWA, NEBRASKA, KANSAS,&OKLAHOMA and its truly an amazing part of our country that doesn't get much attention
When APU's first hit the market, I saw the advantage. Talked with my travel agent (dispatcher) and said every truck should have these. He replied that it would be too expense to mount these on the fleet. I replied the savings would be worth 2 years of using them for the company. When the company finally realized the net worth of the APU's, I reminder my travel agent of our conversation. He finally admitted I was way ahead of the curve with my statement. When my truck finally received one I talked to the mechanics to make sure that my heated fuel tanks, lights, heated engine block and the heated fuel tank on my trailer were all wired up to the APU. Not only did I have creature comforts supplied but also the truck, trailer, engine, and fuel lines were covered. Like I said earlier, 2 years of operating an APU paid for itself. So time for you to step up and give that Cat a break!
That return on investment you're talking about is only realistic if you were to idle the truck every day. Which is not realistic. So, at least double the time for your ROI. Then it doesn't make a lot of sense to some people. One size does NOT fit all.
Kurt, you are a great family man, father and all around good person, you have a great family that supports your career🥰 Keep the videos coming and maybe we will see you in a truck stop in our travels👌
I totally agree. Sometimes you just need a space with no intrusion from the outside world. Some day I would love to spend some time in Texas and Oklahoma just watching the storms in that vast expanse. I get that feeling of solitude seeing it through your windshield. I'm very happy you are able to do good things for your community. Safe travels, and God bless.
Hello, I don't have time to watch all your videos one by one unfortunately. It makes watching you fill me with peace during my weekend breaks from work. greetings from Europe.
I get it. When i can't sleep there's a you tube video with 10 hours of an idling 3406 b I put on. Puts me right out. Glad the star got his cheeseburger. 😊
I don’t mind the ambient noise, everyone needs to stay comfortable. feel the same way when I fire up my loud APU! 😂 I either park by myself or look for a reefer to back next to.
exactly ! those APU's are at least as bad as a reefer, or idling truck for noise. I would say, MORE annoying than an idling truck or reefer because the exhaust is low and smell. (I tend to sleep with the windows on a crack and the bunk windows wide open).
I totally understand the introvert and solitude statement as I am an introvert. Don't care for crowds or group events, clubs etc. . I drove for 25 yrs, owned 2 different rigs with different carriers. Left it for a state job with retirement. But I still miss the road at almost 68 yrs of age. I still consider going back out there. Maybe it will happen, maybe not. I enjoy being home, love my wife and her cooking, but I miss the road.
Your commentary on your video’s is my favorite part especially when Opie talks back to you. Keep up the awesome work as we all know you will. Your content is my mental wellness therapy. I truly mean that. Your optimism is contagious.
There are plenty of RUclipss of sound effects to mask noise. Rain, trains, trucks, buses, winter storms, combinations of the above. Get some good Bluetooth speakers and connect to your phone or laptop. Or get a device that does it on its own. My neighbors are a GS rescuer and they use one to calm the dogs.
I happened to be looking up at my TV when those first ads stopped, and your video started. I heard the train horn and thought what the heck? Did I start a Jaw Tooth video?! LOL It was great video Kurt and you showed again what a good guy you are. Keep on truckin! 👍👍💯🇺🇸
That's awesome you can help sponsor both fields! I use to haul fuel and the big chain truck stops start using more bio when it warms up,2 kinds of bio,animal fat and vegetable, animal fat is generally cheaper and it can give you the most problems, they use at least 20 percent if not more!
I really appreciate you and the content you provide. You keep it real. There's thousands of truck channels on RUclips to follow. I follow about five because its hard for me to follow stupid. What I have noticed is the ones I follow have mentioned you and you have mentioned them and always in a positive way. We are members of a part of trucking that barely exists anymore the part where we still enjoy what we do. Thank you for doing what you do.
Those train engineers were just trying to whistle you to sleep in your log cabin. 😄 Excellent with the banners to support your community. That is really cool.
Love my little cabin. I appreciate the time you take to do these videos. You're awesome Kurt and your family that's why I watch. By the way this company drive carries a loaded tool box, filters,fuses, lights and belts. I refuse to sit and wait for a service truck. You and Opie truck it safe 😎
Hi Kurt & Opie. Great vlog. Thank you for taking us along. We love your channel. You do great things for your family & community. Thank you for getting the goods to us. Those signs are awesome. Brought tears of happiness to my eyes. ⚾️🥎🚛🇺🇲💕😉👍🏼
I got to enjoy that peace and quiet for almost three years, living in my grandparents house while I was rebuilt my house. It was destroyed by a tornado May 28th 2004.The house was 9th of a mile off the main road plus cross a creek to pull up in the yard. All you hear is the creek running and the frogs chirping. It was paradise on earth !!!
When I pulled reefers, I set them to continuous rather than cycle. White noise while I slept. If I didn't, I would wake up like a shot every time they shut off.
I'm retired now but I always idled the truck to sleep. I wanted both the engine noise, mild vibration and, of course, the A/C. If the A/C wasn't needed, I found that a white noise app on my phone was an adequate substitute for the engine noise. Of course, I rarely slept in truck stops - lost too many fenders over the years.
Every time I conjure up living in a cabin out in the wilderness, away from humanity, cuz humanity sucks sometimes, I think of this obscure mathematician dreaming up ways to blow away the competition. Glad that never happened in my truck, plus I was never that good at math anyway
Hello Kurt. Like your channel. Keep up the good work. I don't mind the talking,we as truckers have a lot off time to think about while we driving. Greetings from the other side off the ocean, the Netherlands
Kurt sir if you think about it your truck outside your cab (as cool looking as it is )sounds loud to other truck drivers as there sleeping or relaxing.
Thanking you for showing what trucking used to be about. I have a passion for it but my moral has been down. It's good to see you help another driver. Be safe out there and as you say avoid the drama
I reckon if all the subscribers chucked in a dollar… we’d get you that new hood in no time 👍🏻👍🏻might even be a little left over for a total refurbishment 😀😀now that would make good viewing… watching “first class” be reborn, and all the viewers feel like they played apart in it 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video and stories. Cabin story was right on the money. Love the Signs at the ball diamond. Makes ya real Proud. I'm Pulling my GN trailer to Fairfield, IA next week for the Power Wagon Rally . Be great to see all my old friends from around the country. Stay safe my friend
From the time i was 4 to around 16, i fell asleep better than 50% of the time to the purring of a kitty. I recently discovered a youtube recording of an idling truck and one of a moving truck, both putting me to sleep like a baby as well as bringing back fond memories.
My little dog sits up on his back leg and puts his front paws together and waves up and down waiting for the snack or scrap of food I give him and I would pull in a parking spot when I could that way I didn't wake any one great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
Truly appreciate your videos. I like quiet too. Good artwork you have. I've been a commercial artist that would have been proud of your logo had I done it.
My little cabin is an RV sitting at exit 358 in Topeka KS while watching this video. You can believe I've been watching for every Red truck I see. Hate I didn't see you. Great videos!
Bad fuel in the area. Good job helping the man out. I haven't had bad fuel in my diesel pick ups since I don't know when.But I change the filters every 5000 miles (5 months on my primary driver).
All dogs have their own personality, but I love how Opie sits/stands while he eats the cheeseburger.
Mike, German Shepherds are known to have hip displacement when they get older. It might be his personality, but the medicine won’t hurt him if he doesn’t have bad hips.
Kurt you are a class act supporting your kids and their school. You do a lot to help out. Those banners were a very nice gesture. You just don't get to hang them out for nothing. That was a nice donation. 👌
Kurt you did something very few truck drivers do anymore nice to see some people still look out for each other on the roads.
I'm just disappointed a wrestling match didn't break out right there on the shoulder.
Your truck isn't the only things that's "First Class" Kurt. It's a pleasure being able to support your channel.
Love that smile when you took time to show us how you support the local school teams and town recreations Kurt! A well deserved smile Sir!

into a great DAD! Lets not forget that behind every KURT their is a great women behind him. Thanks for the great content always and I apoligize for being long-winded, but sincere! Gilbert Alicea from NYC ❤
I really enjoyed the little cabin story! you hit the nail on the head with that one!
Schmidt enjoy your videos! You are wholesome, not complaining. I've watched other trucker videos and come back to yours-wholesome and fun to watch! I pray the LORD continues to watch over you and Opie on your travels and also blessings to your family! 😊😇
800 rpm is the ultimate white noise
That answered my previous question perfectly, Kurt! Thank you! And, I agree- your solitude during break-time is well worth a half gallon an hour! That’s the price of Safety! 👍
That turbo sounds happy and healthy!!!
Like the part of the video backing up to connect to the trailer especially the part where the camera is positioned behind the sleeper unit of the tractor
That banner on the fence of the fields is really cool. Nice
I definitely know what you mean firing the truck up, complete cabin home and relax
WOW thats awsome banner...we were on vacationing in IOWA, NEBRASKA, KANSAS,&OKLAHOMA and its truly an amazing part of our country that doesn't get much attention

I want an APU for my day cab so I can run a toaster on the passenger seat.
Kurt, you are a great family man, father and all around good person, you have a great family that supports your career🥰 Keep the videos coming and maybe we will see you in a truck stop in our travels👌
Always like your vids. Glad us watching you allows you to support the kids and community. ❤
That was sweet! Very nice banners! Opie looks like he still has a little limp. Another cheese burger might help! 😂
My old boy loves lying around on the grass for hours
He’s 10 and getting slower
He looks so happy though when he’s out on the lawn

The banners on the sports fields that is awesome!!!
Neat of you to support the local school, enjoy your videos.
I think that is so awesome that you have banners at the ball diamonds. Gotta make you proud I'm sure. You and Opie stay safe. Love the videos.
That TWS banner came out lookin real good!!!
I don’t mind the ambient noise, everyone needs to stay comfortable. feel the same way when I fire up my loud APU! 😂 I either park by myself or look for a reefer to back next to.

Very nice banners indeed, very nice of you too support them.
Luv the sound of straight pipes on the LARGECARS!!!!!!!😎🇺🇸🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎯
Amazing as always. God bless you brother

Yhouhgt I was watching Super Trucker Dan with all those train whistles
That’s so cool Kurt, your a great dad & your family is wonderful
Kurt, the banners at the ball fields are awesome! You should be proud of what you have accomplished...just talking to strangers . Love the channel. ❤
I think I can speak for all of us,😊 we all enjoy your videos😊

After reading years ago about the term shiny hiney, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone actually use it, and I've been driving since 1995.
A rare breed of driver these days, turning around to offer help, very refreshing.
Wow Kurt that is n awesome banner so cool that support
local teams really cool
I happened to be looking up at my TV when those first ads stopped, and your video started. I heard the train horn and thought what the heck? Did I start a Jaw Tooth video?! LOL
It was great video Kurt and you showed again what a good guy you are.
Keep on truckin! 👍👍💯🇺🇸
Mr SCHIMDT. That view of the trailer hook up was👍. 🐕🦺🍔🍔. Safe travels Mr SCHIMDT 🚛💨💨💨💨
That's awesome you can help sponsor both fields! I use to haul fuel and the big chain truck stops start using more bio when it warms up,2 kinds of bio,animal fat and vegetable, animal fat is generally cheaper and it can give you the most problems, they use at least 20 percent if not more!
Driving down those two lanes than greenery landscape the spring brought looks beautiful. Now I want a cabin.

One of the best videos out here
Great videos , from a retired truck driver
When I pulled reefers, I set them to continuous rather than cycle. White noise while I slept. If I didn't, I would wake up like a shot every time they shut off.
YES!
CONGRATULATIONS on the posters'
You know you've made the big time, when you have a banner on both fields in your home town. Looks good Kurt!!👍👍
I'm retired now but I always idled the truck to sleep. I wanted both the engine noise, mild vibration and, of course, the A/C.

Sub'ed ya about a week ago Kurt, have enjoyed your content. Drive careful, stay safe, pats & kiss's to that Opie boy 😁
That's gotta make you proud!
Kurt sir if you think about it your truck outside your cab (as cool looking as it is )sounds loud to other truck drivers as there sleeping or relaxing.
Nice camera angles. I had to duck when you were reversing.
Awesome deal
Braum's for ice cream in that part of the country.
Did I tell you I appreciate your blog. Thank you. Cool poster.
Thanking you for showing what trucking used to be about. I have a passion for it but my moral has been down. It's good to see you help another driver. Be safe out there and as you say avoid the drama
I reckon if all the subscribers chucked in a dollar… we’d get you that new hood in no time 👍🏻👍🏻might even be a little left over for a total refurbishment 😀😀now that would make good viewing… watching “first class” be reborn, and all the viewers feel like they played apart in it 👍🏻👍🏻
Ty like always
I’ll take a banner like that. Love your videos Kurt and opie ❤❤❤
Opie says? Dad wheres my steps?
Kurt shined up my white Harley Street glide today and went for a ride . Its that time of year Oh Ya
rode 400 miles today on mine, it's not clean now.😮😢😊
That was cool seeing that there
Hands down, one of the best videos you have posted today. Love you young man and the German as well. Stay safe
Awesome video and stories. Cabin story was right on the money. Love the Signs at the ball diamond. Makes ya real Proud.
I'm Pulling my GN trailer to Fairfield, IA next week for the Power Wagon Rally . Be great to see all my old friends from around the country.
Stay safe my friend
Cool tribute the banner hanging on the fence ,good to support your community and great videos on your travels.
Congratulations, very cool to sponsor the baseball and softball teams!
From the time i was 4 to around 16, i fell asleep better than 50% of the time to the purring of a kitty. I recently discovered a youtube recording of an idling truck and one of a moving truck, both putting me to sleep like a baby as well as bringing back fond memories.
I guess the Trucker code is the same as the Biker code. Stop for a brother or sister in trouble. Kudos to you Kurt.
I love watching your videos
My little dog sits up on his back leg and puts his front paws together and waves up and down waiting for the snack or scrap of food I give him and I would pull in a parking spot when I could that way I didn't wake any one great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
that is nice of them
Truly appreciate your videos. I like quiet too. Good artwork you have. I've been a commercial artist that would have been proud of your logo had I done it.
My little cabin is an RV sitting at exit 358 in Topeka KS while watching this video. You can believe I've been watching for every Red truck I see. Hate I didn't see you. Great videos!
Kurt that was nice i wish you had a million subscriber and that cat is the best sounding cat that I have heard in a long time and you stay safe
Thank you for the ride along. Congratulations on the banners. You are definitely a good person. Stay Blessed and safe.
You are awesome Kurt an Opie. I really appreciate whar you do Brother!!!!!!
Just awesome like always my friend!!
Bad fuel in the area. Good job helping the man out. I haven't had bad fuel in my diesel pick ups since I don't know when.But I change the filters every 5000 miles (5 months on my primary driver).
I know that YT is a good source of income to you. Bless you for contributing back to the community.
GREAT VIDEO KURT YOUR SUCH A GREAT PERSON YOUR THE BEST DAD !! BE BLESSED STAY SAFE !! OPIE IS JUST A GREAT POOCH 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾
I don't have to imagine... Once in awhile, you get shown the light in the strangest places if you look at it right...... the end
The old boy is limping at a jog. Not Kurt, the pup!😂
What about just using noise canceling AirPods? You can wear them and set it so you can still hear ambient noises like the dog.
Awesome.
