Oppie "what the hell are you doing to me this week dad i should of stayed home!" Kurt "we are having a week of eating differently, get over it oppie" Thaks for bringing us along with you kurt
Do you often fall on your butt mid stream? There is a tremendous need for truck stops. I saw a recent news story about trucks being stopped on both the on and off ramps stretching to the very ends. There have been several fatal accidents where drivers that aren't paying attention have run into the back of them. If the government controls your time, they need to provide facilities. Way to go IL for leaving the rest area open for truckers! Thanks for another great ride. Safe travels, and God bless.
good job on the food Kurt i'm almost 50 and can not eat fast food any more. to much salt and fat, bloats me like a damn toad. Do yourself favor and find a good protein shake to drink every day. It will do you a world of good. Safe travels!
It is very rare for them to leave them open. That’s a plus for all the drivers. IDK if you’ve tried this for Opie..but I take the wet food put some in a plastic bowl with some water and microwave it for about a minute. Then mix it up and pour it over the dry food. It’s my easier than just trying to mix it with the dry kibble plus my 2 Dobermans seem to like it better warm. Kinda like a nice warm cheeseburger 🍔 😂🤷♂️
It’s good thing First Class is an older gal. Cause if you had to run an ELD you never get anywhere. Each driver runs their rig their way but man you sure stop a lot. I realize a lot has to do with Opie. Thanks for the videos and as always and remember stay safe.
I am not entirely opposed to some of the low fat chocolate milk. Some of the brands of whole milk are so thick its like drinking a milkshake. But you're talking to a guy who used to buy a half gallon and have more than half of it gone before I even got out of the gas station parking lot.
Why did Illinois leave the truck portion of the rest area open? My guess is because of the Greyhound crash recently near Highland IL on I-70. I'll keep my opinions to myself beyond this comment, but I really don't want to.
I don't understand why they even close the rest areas down. They spent a lot of money years ago to build them. There's not a huge amount of maintenance to them. In a new world of trucks with Elogs, every available parking spot for a big rig is very much needed. Have a great day Kurt catch you on the next one.
In rural areas sometimes rest area restrooms are closed by vandalism or trouble with septic systems. We had one in Co. that was closed for a couple of years from trouble with leach field.
ELOGs did not create the parking problem. That is due to more trucks and poor trip planning. Agreed that every parking space is important, and we need more.
i think they only make low fat chocolate milk as ive never seen whole chocolate milk,lol.happy turkey day 2 u and ur family kurt.hope u make it home 2 spend ur holiday with the family.
My vet has me feed my gsdxlab boiled chicken, carrots or pumpkin and rice. He loves it when carrots cook with chicken then use broth on rice. I like it too, which makes it more attractive to him.
Poor Opie. If that was me walking and eating a sammich and after the third time poor Opie sat down in front of me. I would have caved. Lol. God bless you and Opie. Stay safe, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
I’ve been by that new truck stop a few times while it’s been under construction. Now that it’s open my dog and I will check it out next time by. Always looks weird seeing things you’re used to seeing show up in someone’s RUclips video.
the concentration on your face making an egg sandwich, beautiful, I have the same problem with our Doberman, once you've made it, you have to stuff your face as the eyes bore into you, gives me indigestion every time, I really look forward to your vlogs Kurt, regards
Ok before you say it,, no it does not take much to entertain me in trucking, so in one of your adventures could you show a “washout” ? Yes I would appreciate it, and yes it would be interesting. When I hear you say the different towns names in Kansas, I get teary eyed thinking back to times of loading at the plants in Dodge City, Garden City or even Wichita. I grew up in Pratt, used to watch the “elite fleet” role thru town on 54 or M. Bruenger trucks just one after the other haulin swinging E&W constantly. You bring back a great time in my life Kurt, to you and your family a huge thank you !,,,,, ❤
love the box of Fruity Pebbles ya got Kurt , man I love these early morning vids with my 7am coffee , keep it safe , keep it happy , Love the Schmit Family. Cheers hope to see ya on the back haul on day when im states side but thats still years out . " Butt Dad please just a Litt.. .dad ? dad?? oh hey bite please " hahahahaha Opie you dork, Kurt send those Boneheads to Ike at Bonehead Truckers , and I know ya cant make that up I see it daily
Two of my dogs too sometimes get picky and sometimes I cave and feed them different but normally I am the bad guy and my wife is the good guy (girl) The other dog eats anything you put down to. They are waiting for thanksgiving, it’s goody time. Hope you and yours have a great thanksgiving. You, like me, have much to be thankful for. Stay safe and havagudun. God Bless.
Kurt I run down to Florida from Maryland and there was 9 rest area closed up through several states no parking and don't think your gonna park on an exit they will give you a big Ole ticket . I run the mid west and they do try to give us parking .keep up the good work on your channel. I enjoy watching Opie I really miss my best friend snowball she had about a million miles under her leash. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and Opie and Jax there your kid's also
Did you ever get opie a new set of steps. I seem to remember the other ones were ripped or worn. As for the low fat chocolate milk thats from the real skinny cows you see in the fields. Lol Have a save trip.
Whole milk is better for you, low-fat milk has palmitat, which is a man made ingredient that is bad for you. I also drive the center lane in Cedar Rapids all the time!!
Hey next time u get some food from the truck stop....try some truck stop sushi 🍣 and wash it down with strawberry 🍓 milk!!!! Lol!!! Make sure your close to a bathroom 🚻 😉 for the next 10 hours.... lol
I ran reefers for years and I’d go with Thermo King. They are quieter. Found the Carriers to be noisy. They cool down faster, but man do they make a lot of noise.
What do you think of these new intersections that you can't make a left turn at but instead make a right and then a U-turn to go the direction you want?
You got to stop giving the dogs, a gourmet dog food and get a canna chili just give him a couple scoops out of the can put the can In the refrigerator till I get a much better my dog does he loves his chili
Most people, in my experience, lack situational awareness, or don't give a sh!t. In reference to the trucker blocking the main road into the fuel island.
Yuck low fat mine as well be fat free. I will only drink 4% milk or i will pass on the milk and go straight for the orange juice if it is Florida's natural orange juice that is
When at home boil up some bone broth and take it with you and put some in with his food he seems to be loosing interest in the same thing all dogs are the same
Thanks for another great video, Kurt. I just can't get enough of Opie, your Kenworth W900 and that lovely sounding C16 under the hood. Stay safe.
Thanks for watching
Safe Travels out there & Gr8 SUCCESSFUL TRUCKIN!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🇺🇸💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
You and Opie stay safe. You and yours have a wonderful thanksgiving.
You as well
Low fat chocolate milk? That's like someone going into a McDonalds ordering a Quarter Pounder, large fries, and a diet soda. 🤣🤣🤣
Agreed

Lol I try not to fall. Ya parking on the Ramps has a place and time.
Opie would enjoy a spoonful of peanut butter mixed in with his dog food.
good job on the food Kurt i'm almost 50 and can not eat fast food any more. to much salt and fat, bloats me like a damn toad. Do yourself favor and find a good protein shake to drink every day. It will do you a world of good. Safe travels!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Opie!!! Kurt, I also wish you and your family also have a great Thanksgiving!!!

He does like it warm
Have a happy thanksgiving Kurt and your family and opie god bless safe travels dave timmionsville ,South Carolina

I was just explaining to my wife how he doesn’t have ELogs so he can actually enjoy his trips 😂.
😂
Lo fat chocolate. Oh the humanity! Where's my tru moo? Hey Kurt thanks for your hard work.
If you stop at the Colonial truck stop in Oakwood,IL they have the good Truemoo whole milk.
My dawg Miss Daisy did the exact same thing when we were in driving through Texas she got sick so I was keeping a close eye 👁️ on her
Serious shortage of truck parking. The off ramp accidents are putting a legal strain on states.
I am not entirely opposed to some of the low fat chocolate milk. Some of the brands of whole milk are so thick its like drinking a milkshake. But you're talking to a guy who used to buy a half gallon and have more than half of it gone before I even got out of the gas station parking lot.

I like it, chicken lights for the dog brilliant!

I agree wade
In rural areas sometimes rest area restrooms are closed by vandalism or trouble with septic systems. We had one in Co. that was closed for a couple of years from trouble with leach field.
Michigan rest stops close every 2 months
Champaign - Urbana News Gazette had article saying broken pipe in one and septic messed at another.
ELOGs did not create the parking problem. That is due to more trucks and poor trip planning.
Agreed that every parking space is important, and we need more.
That yellow school bus 🚍 is your answer to the low fat chocolate milk, for the little kiddos.
i think they only make low fat chocolate milk as ive never seen whole chocolate milk,lol.happy turkey day 2 u and ur family kurt.hope u make it home 2 spend ur holiday with the family.
Hi from Lebanon Indiana didn’t know you come through here great vids man
HEY KURT GREAT VIDEO BE BLESSED STAY SAFE 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU & YOURS ✊👍🚂🚂🚂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
To you as well
Nice to see the German eating
My vet has me feed my gsdxlab boiled chicken, carrots or pumpkin and rice. He loves it when carrots cook with chicken then use broth on rice. I like it too, which makes it more attractive to him.
Hey Kurt and Opie ❤
Have a nice Thanksgiving
I love the lighted collar. that's cool
Poor Opie. If that was me walking and eating a sammich and after the third time poor Opie sat down in front of me. I would have caved. Lol. God bless you and Opie. Stay safe, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
I seen that 45 mph sign yeah my shiny hindy
As always good video excellent camera positioning
I LOVE strawberry milk!😊
Thanks for a great trip
Have a safe trip God bless from GA
Opie said he doesn't care about your eating or not, but the star demands a cheese burger! 😂
Whole (red cap) Milk........ Is the only acceptable milk.......the rest is barely more than white water
I think a hat would look great with opii and first class
Kurt. as always another great video. Opie you are the star of course.
Hi Kurt
Thanks!
You didn't have your Seat Belt on Kirk when you had the camera showing you shifting gears! Drive Safe! 👍👍👍
Great Video Kurt. Love the glowing neck on the German.
I have them lighted collars for my dogs great for the night
Thanks for another great video, Kurt. You had a very persistent follower while eating your bread lol
Be safe out there. You and your family have a blessed thanksgiving. From here in Webster City. Really enjoy your videos.

Happy Thanksgiving, Kurt and family.
Hello Kurt i want to wish you and your entire family and the dogs a safe Happy Thanksgiving Holiday!!😊
That’s right there outside Goodfield! Let me know if you ever happen to pass through I’m doing cb interviews around here!
thats funny i do the same thing/i love them both an ur dogs 2
Don’t you just love that😊
I have to wonder if they high pitch whistling from the turbo bothers Opie, I know it would bother me after awhile.
instead of more cowbell its we need more tire knockin.
If you would wear the second glowy collar, then opie would be able to find you in the dark. I double-dog dare ya.
Don’t forget no chocolate milk unless you get low fat…Lol
Happy Thanksgiving Kurt to you and your whole family.
Yours as well
Whole milk is better for you, low-fat milk has palmitat, which is a man made ingredient that is bad for you. I also drive the center lane in Cedar Rapids all the time!!
Daddy they want you to be healthy thats why❤
Just curious, where did you get your stairs for your dog?
Hi Kurt and Opie
Hey next time u get some food from the truck stop....try some truck stop sushi 🍣 and wash it down with strawberry 🍓 milk!!!! Lol!!! Make sure your close to a bathroom 🚻 😉 for the next 10 hours.... lol
Lol
We can all rest better knowing that Opie ate even if he protested a little. Stay safe out there.
Night hawk this is Brendan y are you travelling in the morning?
The company you pull for has both Carrier and Thermo King reefer units. Which one do you prefer?
I ran reefers for years and I’d go with Thermo King. They are quieter. Found the Carriers to be noisy. They cool down faster, but man do they make a lot of noise.
Thermo King are much much better then carrier in sound, reliability, fuel economy. But the carrier is your cheapest of the 2 in price.
Sum of these steering wheel holders parking in entrance & exits @ businesses!!!!!!!😬🙄🤯🥺😲😫😤🤬
What do you think of these new intersections that you can't make a left turn at but instead make a right and then a U-turn to go the direction you want?
Not a fan.
Do you have a miniature lava lamp on your cb?
OK, biscuits and gravy is NOT counted as eating out. It's homemade cooking on the road.. that you paid someone to make.
Amazing for Illinois indeed. That state as a rule never makes anyone's life easier. especially for free!
I say the same thing about it to. low fat is just wrong.
What Engine is in the ole Pete?
Yeah!!! I love the chocolate cows!!!!! Moo!!! Moo!!!!!
When AZ closes rest areas they block off the ramps so you cannot even park anywhere.
Couldn't agree more. True Moo is garbage.
You got to stop giving the dogs, a gourmet dog food and get a canna chili just give him a couple scoops out of the can put the can In the refrigerator till I get a much better my dog does he loves his chili
👍✌🦃🦃
32 degrees Fahrenheit is 0 degrees Celsius
Most people, in my experience, lack situational awareness, or don't give a sh!t. In reference to the trucker blocking the main road into the fuel island.
Yuck low fat mine as well be fat free. I will only drink 4% milk or i will pass on the milk and go straight for the orange juice if it is Florida's natural orange juice that is
Poor oppie 😢
It didn't last long
Strawberry milk,did strawberry shortcake grow up and get pregnent?
are you going to buy a new truck kenworth
When at home boil up some bone broth and take it with you and put some in with his food he seems to be loosing interest in the same thing all dogs are the same
Love your videos Kurt, do you realise you've recorded massive chemtrails in the sky, in the pretence that we have a cimate issue which is BS ?
Why would sell pink milk
Hi
Hello
How and why do you stop so much? Paper logs obviously help but shit do you make any money?
3 stops in 750 miles isn't bad for me. What hurry am I in? It's trucking not racing
