    Kurt, where I live pot is legal. You can drive down the public streets and interstate and smell the stench of pot while driving. The U.S. has become a cesspool from what it used to be. I drove semi for 30 years, now you couldn't pay me to do it. Stay safe out there buddy.

    This year, I had to get new tires for my Jeep. I went from an all season tire pattern that did amazing in snow. Now, to a step down off an off-road tires. Here in Kimball, Nebraska. What snow😒😥😭

    We had a dusting just before Thanksgiving. There was a wreck on the interstate. A speeding semi lost control and slammed into an occupied emergency vehicle. That person, who was out helping others, was seriously injured. A few days ago, we had a similar situation. The semi failed to move over and hit a state patrol car. I'm not saying it's entirely semi drivers. They are usually the good ones. They just do more catastrophic damage. I won't even drive interstate in good weather. Please stay safe, and God bless.

    O-H-I-O Porters🇺🇸You mentioned that you were gonna slide your tandems, but you didn’t say what direction or show us. I tried to figure it out when you were stopped for a bit, but couldn’t quite make it out. You slid them forward, right? Thanks for the train action. I imagine if you’re sleeping & a train comes speeding through that it would really disturb your rest, especially if you’re not accustomed to train noises. We,got some snow today…Dec 11th, but it won’t amount to much. It’s gonna be cold though. Some people just get too anxious when they get into the highway & want to push people off. I think it’s a combination of too much speed & quick reactions that get them in trouble, but going too slow is almost as bad. It’s good that you pack food in your fridge & freezer. At least you know who touches your food that way. And it’s a bit cheaper as well. Be safe & get back home. Blessings my friend. 🥰🤩✌️

  • @olddude7401
    @olddude7401 5 часов назад +4

    Kurt I also think that in today’s economy people do not have a lot of disposable income to spend $800 plus dollars on a new set of tires for their 10-year-old car and are just trying to put it off one more month. If you want to see something really scarry when you stop at a light look down at the tread of the car or pick up truck ahead of you. The number of bald tires I see in southwest VA is really unbelievable. Be safe out there.

    Kurt, so true on the snow/winter drivers. The drivers of today cannot drive in inclimate conditions! They drive way too fast or way too slow. Most of today's truck drivers are young and new, no experience. I drove since I was 12 maybe 11 on the farm and know a little something at the young age of 58. These drivers don't know how to use a diff lock.
    That's not a woke word eather. 😊

    My dad taught us if your not sure you are on ice or is the road just wet look at the tire tread of the vehicle inf front if it is shiny it's just wet.
    If the road is slick put your outside wheels on the shoulder there is always grit over there till you can find a place to pull off.
    When driving an automatic trans and you have to do a turn say at an intersection put the trans in neutral and coast around

    We had that dusting on the Sat after Thanksgiving. We drove from Topeka to KC and saw 4 people in the ditch. It is ridiculous! I halfway wonder if part of this is because people are running their tires until they are bald because nobody has any money with the economy so terrible... Whatever it is, it's going to be a rough winter.

So since I’m a WI guy, and Kwik Trips are a requirement, I’ve dumped Casey’s for Kwik Star (when I can) when I’m working Iowa.

    Kurt, did you get the 2nd fire extinguisher for First Class? About the people driving in snow, some idiots think that since they have a 4 wheel or all wheel drive that they can drive in anything without changing their driving for the conditions. I've also seen people stomp on the brakes when they hit a patch of ice. I'm just glad I am not following to close when that happens.

    Sometimes y
    You have to wonder how experienced some semi drivers are these days. I’m sure the pandemic had a lot of drivers sidelined and maybe some didn’t come back, causing a vacuum that needed to be filled. I say this because i see a lot of semi drivers maneuver their trucks like they’re driving the family car. About a month ago I saw a semi in the left lane doing about 80. I thought he might be passing but he stayed in that lane and never slowed down. Whatever happened to that? I have more stories but I don’t want to bore you. I’m sure we all have some. Those boys and girls need to calm down a little.
    But it’s not all the semi drivers' fault. I’ve seen a lot of speedster cut a truck right off like they didn’t know sixty mile an hour tons of steel could crush them like a bug. I remember when semi drivers would flash their lights at you to let you know you had the room to cut into their lane safely. Do that these days and the driver of the car probably thinks you want to pick a fight with them. Those were different times. You stay safe out there, Kurt.
