I want an "I'm a dork" sticker! Ice is the worst. It does make the trees pretty if you're looking at it from a cozy living room. What a way to end an otherwise wonderful trip. Welcome back to our Midwest reality. Glad you made it home safe. Opie acted as if he hadn't seen you in years. Hope he got at least one cheeseburger. Again, thank you for sharing that awesome trip. Stay safe and God bless.
Hi Kurt, Sarah & Troy. See I told ya this vlog was going 2 b icy, cold & snowy. I am with the both of you, I would rather b at the beach. We were out & about during the icy fog. Ice sucks. We took our kiddos out 4 lunch yesterday in the snow. Only got 2.5 inches. It was & is frickin cold. Hurry up spring.🌷😉 Did not go anywhere today. Did start both vehicles & let them run 10 mins while I shoveled the little bit we got. It was lite & fluffy thank goodness. Have a blessed night & week ahead. It's going 2 b tough. We had two 3 day weekend. Now it will b a full week. 😉 God's Blessings today & always. 🙏🏼💕
Great content as always Kurt. Someone else mentioned the spray bottle of alcohol to help melt the ice. Back when I flew the prop airplanes we had spray nozzles to spray it on the props and the windshield to melt the ice. It works pretty good. Don’t underestimate the interest in merch. You’ll have pretty strong demand. You have a very loyal fan base out here. Enjoy your time off and we’ll look forward to the next trip.
I just drove across North Dakota 2 days ago. -28. With windchill of -40. Had anti gel additive in tanks but learned that if you have 1/4 full tanks additive doesn’t matter. Ha e to keep your tanks no less than 1/2 full when driving in weather like that. Truck started losing power and would go faster than 40mph. Luckily I made it to pilot and was able to fill up and add more additive
I love your videos. I get my trucking needs met by watching. I keep telling my wife I want a truck lol. Probably never happen but at least I have you. And I really love seeing your pups happy to see you. Glad you made it home safe.
50 probably won't be enough. I'm a Midwestern owner operator. I watch your videos because you remind me of myself. No more complicated than that. My opinion that's why reality tv got popular in the first place and why people like you have subscribers on RUclips that are willing to but some merch. Something to identify with. Keep it up love your videos.
It made me a little nervous when I saw the words Tires Breaking Loose. The roads were crap here early Friday morning. You are a damn good driver Kurt. You kept the rubber side down and got home safe.
I was just up around that area yesterday delivered in Shell Rock and then to FT. Dodge to pick up and delivered in Crete, NE. last night and now on my way to Texas to thaw out.
You know the trip home will take a lot longer time than usual when you let off throttle and the tires brake loose. Your speed is the same, but rpm drops to idle. Zero friction is bad. Been there, done that.. Glad you made it home big guy. Happy New Year to all the Schmidt family and to Jax and Opie.
I couldn't help but overhear the Betty White mention. Shame she passed, and don't forget that alongside all the media she was in, how she was in the Women's Voluntary Services during World War II.
HI THIS IS MICHAEL BEHRLE FROM ST.ANN,MO.AND I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL THETIME I WOULD LIKE TOO SEE MORE OF OPEY WITH YOU HE IS VERY CUTE YOU NEED TO KEEP HIM WITH YOU ALL THE TIME
Is Opie still looking for that cat you said was under the hood🤔😁? Have a great new year Herr Schmidt, family and all the youtube fans. Y'all stay safe and warm out there,
I think a logo with First Class and Opie and the bust of you on either side of First Class with Trucking with Schmidt printed underneath would be cool.
I own a 379 Peterbilt I have bought several headlights. The ones I really like the best are JW Speaker brand. They're a bright white LED headlight with built-in heaters that work really well. I've had these for 2 years.
Amazing how cold and dreary it looks in the winter.I try to look at the beauty of the landscape. Be very very careful on that ice. Great family !!! Stay well Frankie L.I. P.S. shout out to John& Diane!!!
Kurt …… here in NC we had 50mph wind gusts last night(Sunday) and snow Monday morning. We’ve gone from 68 degrees to 37 in less than 24hours. Glad you had good weather for your visit
Do you ever come to Wisconsin? If you do my hubby and I would love to take you out for dinner. My husband is a x truck driver. He spent years on the road as you do. Myself and the boys spent many a days alone but when he came back we made each moment count, You take care and God Bless and give a huge hug to Opie for us
Happy New Year greetings from the Ohio Porters. 🇺🇸 Brrrrrr! Trucking in the winter can be slow and hard…and DIRTY! but you had plenty of company on this trip!🤩 Now that’s the way to truck! 🧐 Do you need an little propane tank to use when something ices over so you can thaw it out?! LOL! 🧐 It sure gives you a weird feeling when your big truck loses traction…Gulp! 😳 Glad you made it home! I loved the greetings you got from the dogs….were they the first ones to greet you? Bow wow, Dad’s home!!! 🐕🥰 Keep it safe my friend! 😎🥰✌️
I remember running up to Maine and out west in the winter. The Pete I drove would ice up the grill and make the Cat run hot. Be careful out there Kurt. I may soon be back on the road.
Fantastic video again, Opie was so so pleased to see you, that’s one thing I don’t miss when I was on the road, heavy snow and ice. I jackknifed once when I was young near a village called Slochd, near Inverness, camper van skidded in front of me in very heavy snow, tried to stop but the big bendy just bent and away it went, trailer smashed all the passenger side. Now I just watch the snow falling down and keep the paths clear at the house, keep safe out there Kurt and give Opie a huge hug from me. Happy New year from me to all your family. Kind regards from Scotland Johnny
@@s.a.stewart2743 yeah I heard that part....I probably would too if I was that spoiled and got to ride with daddy all the time and eat McDonald's...he's spoiled he doesn't know what to do with himself at home especially when daddy is gone..I bet he spazed out when he found out that he wasn't going
Here in the Washington, we had a week of FRIGED cold. Daytime temp was barely 13 degrees. with snow , which not to many people knew how to drive in. So you just stay home where its warm and dry. For the Seattle,/ Tacoma area, that is not common to be that cold. Ice was another problem. especially on interstate 5. State patrol counted between a 30 mile stretch over 60 spinouts in one morning. You did great getting up that icy hill. That could have easily turned into an e-ride. (Disneyland ride scale). First class needs a bubble bath in a warm truck wash. So glad you made it home and in one piece. Find a nice warm shower and warm up AND you didn't have to chain-up.!! Either. THAT is a whole different ballgame. Happy New Year.
That was quite Opie Missed you!! We always say we're going to be prepared for winter just doesn't seem to happen!!! My Warden revoked my weekend pass and give another 38yrs!!! Be safe out there Brother Peace!!
You should consider changing your clearance lights to led, I used change a bulb every time it rains. Ever since I changed them to led no more burnt bulb issues
We had 58 below zero over the weekend. It's way too cold!!! Stay warm and stay safe...I ran into that mess in Friday. Loaded out of Urbandale, IA headed to Fargo. Was no fun at all

Opie really missed his daddy! Can't wait to see both of you trucking again. Be safe and stay warm 🌡❄🌬

Glad u made it. I hate ice or black ice. Have a good week and be safe.
Hey curt. The trick to keep your windows defrosted is to keep your sun visor down it helps to trap the heat rolling by your defrost areas.
It's cold in Tennessee to the high for tomorrow is 33degree right now it is 28deg stay safe Kurt
Incredible skill in driving on ice!
❄& Ice,Safe Travels .
Stay warm you all

Yes, Kurt. This morning was very cold.

Been there, done that, don't miss it at all.
Good thing you got the tires on! I know, (Southern MN previous tow business owner), but I'd rather be farther south.
Had 31 below zero yesterday morning and 35 below this morning in northern Minnesota drive safe

I'm an owner op and I don't know how you get the time to set up the cameras, edit, and all that. But I'm glad you do.
wow the roads are nasty brotha ... super good timing on those new drives
Trux Led heated headlights are the best 👌
It's funny I see people while walking and they say hi sasquatch to me when they say hi.
I love your videos. I get my trucking needs met by watching. I keep telling my wife I want a truck lol. Probably never happen but at least I have you. And I really love seeing your pups happy to see you. Glad you made it home safe.
Be safe happy new year and stay warm
About time y'all got some winter!! It was -17 yesterday morning with a wind-chill of -28

Please be careful and have a safe trip back home.
I really enjoyed your trip to the beach and back. Kurt, that Iowa weather is just to much of a good thing, y'all stay warm. God bless you all. 🙏
Stay toasty🔥🔥🇨🇱
I was just up around that area yesterday delivered in Shell Rock and then to FT. Dodge to pick up and delivered in Crete, NE. last night and now on my way to Texas to thaw out.
Fun fun in mn to.
Glad you are home! Opie looked happy to see you!
Good to see your son is a Chiefs fan. Makes my heart proud.
Nice to have the new drives on in this slick weather.
You know the trip home will take a lot longer time than usual when you let off throttle and the tires brake loose. Your speed is the same, but rpm drops to idle. Zero friction is bad. Been there, done that..

Have a safe and prosperous new year Kurt and family
Happy New Year...

A darn good day to have nice new sticky drive tires
Glad y’all made it home safe stay safe be careful that was a great trip You took us on
I think a logo with First Class and Opie and the bust of you on either side of First Class with Trucking with Schmidt printed underneath would be cool.
yuk !to all that snow
A few have said it before… give bunker branding a call
And a nother winter storm coming across later this week it looks like Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky.
I own a 379 Peterbilt I have bought several headlights. The ones I really like the best are JW Speaker brand. They're a bright white LED headlight with built-in heaters that work really well. I've had these for 2 years.
You need a sticker of Opie in the drivers seat wearing your fuzzy winter hat.
Amazing how cold and dreary it looks in the winter.I try to look at the beauty of the landscape. Be very very careful on that ice. Great family !!! Stay well Frankie L.I. P.S. shout out to John& Diane!!!

Winter ain't no joke for many of us. Those new drives paid for themselves on the way home. Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous 2022.
I love my squirrels you love your squirrel squirrel doesn't get it for me you are fuzzy bear everyday all day
I really admire your mental toughness in situations like that. Thanks for all you do to provide necessities for the rest of us.

Glad you guys made it home winter is my least favorite time of the year keep the shiny side up and safe travels
Fantastic video again, Opie was so so pleased to see you, that’s one thing I don’t miss when I was on the road, heavy snow and ice.
I jackknifed once when I was young near a village called Slochd, near Inverness, camper van skidded in front of me in very heavy snow, tried to stop but the big bendy just bent and away it went, trailer smashed all the passenger side.
Now I just watch the snow falling down and keep the paths clear at the house, keep safe out there Kurt and give Opie a huge hug from me.
Happy New year from me to all your family.
Kind regards from Scotland

Will do
👍
I would buy an 'Opie is my favorite copilot" sticker.
I still think his other dog should join him for a road trip just to be fair it's always Opie Opie Opie
He's a good dog but I want to see how the other dog would ride in the truck
@@lornperkins4270 He said Opie suffers from separation anxiety disorder, and gets into trouble at home.
@@s.a.stewart2743 yeah I heard that part....I probably would too if I was that spoiled and got to ride with daddy all the time and eat McDonald's...he's spoiled he doesn't know what to do with himself at home especially when daddy is gone..I bet he spazed out when he found out that he wasn't going

Glad that you folks made it home safe. Ice is no joke!!
My wife agrees with Sarah its time to be in the 80s again and at the beach.
Same issue with my w900, added a couple of drop fans from visor area beside CB. made all the difference in cab. No more froze windows.
That was quite Opie Missed you!! We always say we're going to be prepared for winter just doesn't seem to happen!!! My Warden revoked my weekend pass and give another 38yrs!!! Be safe out there Brother Peace!!
QT truck stop northeast 14th Has 70/30 blend. And no biofuel. Des Moines Iowa.
You are the man ! It's unreal how those driving conditions translate thru the camera. Glad you made it home safe and Happy New Year.
You should consider changing your clearance lights to led, I used change a bulb every time it rains. Ever since I changed them to led no more burnt bulb issues
Happy New Year 🎉🎊
