Opie seems to be walking better so good job with the treatment.
No worries Kurt. Its a truckin thing. A good percentage of us have done that in our careers. Good to see old Opie again.
Brother I know you were TWISTED after snapping those lines. Would love to see the “unedited “ version. lol 😝
We all have one of those days.
❤ Yay ❤️ “Trucking With Opie” has returned!
When you pulled over at the Memorial rest area, it made me think of "The Wall"... Have you ever seen it Kurt ?
It's incredible. It really takes a long time for the reality to sink in when you first see it, even from a distance,
but it really puts things into perspective when you see how many names are on each panel, and how many panels there are.
We found my Mom's cousins name. He was drafted right after High School graduation. He was a door gunner
on a copter. He only made it two weeks. They were rescuing soldiers that were under heavy fire, and were told
not to go back, but like most Marines, they did. They built a memorial for him at his High School. It was cool at the memorial
because they had pieces of paper and pencils so people can trace the names of family members and friends
that are on the wall.
Opie Opie Opie....There he is😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kurt I’m not laughing at you but laughing with you because I have that in my been there done that file. After 40 years trucking I can still amaze myself how well I can screw something up even without the normal craziness that goes along with trucking. Glad to see Opies doing good. Another great video Sir Take care and we’ll see ya when we see ya.
hey brother, 47 years out here and if shlt don't happen you aint trucking lol
Kurt, you gotta make sure that all of your crooks and nannies are spotless. I enjoyed the video. Don’t feel badly about letting off steam; happens to the best of us.
Yeah graveshift is the best shift for trucking... less hassle... less traffic... less regulation... be glad you are good at it... I have worked graves from time to time and I like it... but eventually I just get tired and need a long nights rest. As for your lines... it happens... you get tired and forget about it... it's a simple repair so no biggie :)
Opie doesn't get bothered by the truck movement - sound asleep. I drove a lot at night too but had no room for a dog. That would have been great. Was back in the 70's.
Kurt, I wish I had your temperament and calmness. I would've lost my sh*t. Way to own it and keep on keeping on.
I literally threw my plug out of rage a couple weeks back. I appreciate seeing that side of you because 99.9 percent of the time your videos are very calming.
We all have bad days Kurt, good to see you lost your temper, it shows you’re normal like the rest of us! Great vlog 👍🇬🇧
That got just painful as soon as I saw the mud. We all have "those days". I hope the rest of the week goes better for you. God bless.
It was ugly Heather I agree
Yeah we have all done it once or twice in our career,that is pulling out from under trailer without removing air lines.luckily didn't break or stretch them out.an oh,s**t moment.
I used to love the graveyard shift, of course I'm a natural night owl
We don’t blame you for being upset. Glad to see Opie back out with you, he keeps you somewhat sane…
The days run together for me, so words escape me. 🥺😞🦮🐕🦺
I love it when you got your dog with you
Glad you two are a team again!
Yeah, it really sucks when things go sour. Even worse when we do it to ourselves.
Don’t feel like the loan stranger. We’ve all done that several times.
Kurt, you just got a nod from the Duke himself.
I feel your pain. The shareholders don’t want to pave out the lots cause they will take a cut for a quarter.
Good to see you and Opie together again. Also good to see you are human like the rest of us. If life was perfect it would be boring. Great comeback on getting the truck fixed. Proud of ya man. Keep the good work and your head up, keep on trucking. Stay safe out there, we enjoy watching ya..
You started talking about the roller blades and all I could see in my mind was a hospital bed with an old truck driver with messed up hips and casts on his leg hanging from an overhead bar, with at least one broken arm in a cast. Not a good look! Stay safe and stay off the roller blades!
Very funny 😂
I know it sucks having days like that because it takes time and puts you behind schedule. I know because I had a stressful day trucking today also but what I try to remind myself AFTER I HAVE CALMED DOWN. 😂
Is maybe that’s Gods way of keeping me out of a bad wreck that I may have found myself in if it hadn’t have taken all that extra time.
Tomorrow will be better buddy.
You are allowed once in a while, i won't say what. Stay safe my friend. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
It’s good to see both of you guys together again, it makes for a great trip to talk to him ,our adventures began.be careful
German, German, where's my German Shepherd...oh there he is....Mr. Opie
Opie is the star of the video.
Just glad to see you’re human, thank you for showing the good the bad and the ugly
Over. Fifty years ago. I worked 2 weeks graveyard 2 weeks. Swingshift. 1 week. Days shift. Then start over again. Regularly. Plywood mill. Back then
You're only human we all make mistake. You're doing your best and doing it to give your family a better life
Yes Mr kurt. That makes for a long frustrating night of trucking. but respect for you for not surgar coating the bad day's that do happen out here . Roll easy roll safe sir 🇺🇲
Good job Kurt. That truck and brother crap like that happens sometimes. When you’re tired and you’re thinking of other things it’s easy to forget stuff sometimes. Be safe out there. Awesome video.👍👍👍
Well least you got that day out the way. The day that happens to all of us not so often. I'd replace that rod on the back holding the lines, if you don't everyone who has ocd will continue to remind you, and talk about how it bothers them lol. Hope you have a bunch of smooth days ahead.
I'm here for the German. Oh, hey, Kurt....😏
Me and my wife would like to thank you for 8 years Of pure greatness. We really enjoy your journey in trucking. And just glad to be along for the ride.🤗🤗
I don't think we were the only ones that missed Opie think you did also
some of those older small towns, still have a church on main street, maybe a movie theater and a couple cafes, cool
Back in the 90's, i preferred driving at night. Less stressful.
Good news... it was 40 plus degrees... not raining... not windy... no one near you bugging you...🎉... next week snow cold... blizzard will happen... you good.❤
When the weathers good, put a socket on your frame with a double male plug, just in case :)
So awesome having Opie back!! Good boy Opie!!
Hey Kurt, braiding is noothing more than right over center, left over center. Try it.
Grandpa always told us takes a good man to make a mistake but an even better man to fix it and keep rolling
I really enjoy your videos. I try to watch the commercials. Even the ones on ED. Times will get better. Life is great thank you.
"Serenity now... Serenity now"😆 Been there done that, soon as something breaks the routine, stuff like that happens👍. Hang in there. Good to see Opie back.
Gotta love that dog 👍
We did that shift every spring trucking up in northern Ab hauling oil to get into the bush on the frost because the roads were so bad it just how we rolled made a lot of money back In the day
That was a teaching moment
I saw you put the ripped off plug on top of the tire and thought "I hope he remembers to grab that before he drives off"
ME TOO !
I watched Chad Keegan set his needle nose pliers on his tire. The tire guy was able to pull it out and did patch the tire. Not a good day for him either.
The white wire looks like it has a bare spot. What a day
Oh if you put the green wire down in the middle then put the blue one to the right and red to the left then go red over green blue over green you can braid the lines
When I was a young squirt working grave shifts was easy. When driving long haul my favorite time to be driving was always late at night 'til daylight. Easy. Retired for quite a while now, it's a rare day when I'm up past 11 p.m. Many people I've known have had a very difficult time with grave shifts, understandable as us humans are not all built or wired the same. You seem to handle the various changes in hours well enough. When circumstances don't go the way expected, I don't pitch a fit anymore, might be I've aged out on that, maybe you will too. After all, it's a part of life and living. Take care, be well.
I drove an 18 wheeler for a parts company delivering to customers in Virginia and North Carolina. I did that for 18 years. I would start around 8:00 pm and get back to the warehouse between 8 and 9 AM the next morning. I really enjoyed working at night. No traffic and easy to get into the stores. Be safe.
I feel for ya pullin your lines off. In 40 years I only did it one time. The sound of a stretched out air line smacking the back of my sleeper
was an instant reminder of what I forgot. Fortunately I didn't forget it again after that little incident...
Drivers should not have to drive through slop to drop off or pick up their trailer. There's no excuse for it. I had a couple places that I
used to deliver to that were like the one you were at, and I honestly think one of them was worse. Both were certainly multi billion dollar
corporations. One was at a distribution center for one of the largest grocery chains in the U.S, and another was a food processing
conglomerate. The same big company that supplies all of McDonalds french fries. Ironic how they both deal in food.
Makes me sad Opie is getting older 😢..But that's the cycle of Life for everyone including myself..Much love brother Kurt and Opie..Stay strong 💪
Atleast you didn’t drop your trailer on your truck. I did that last week guess that’s what you get when you let others hook up for you so know I make sure to double check that I’m hooked up. 😂
we have a skate park here and I went on it with my wheelchair. lol It didn't end well at all lol
😊
Good arm in the distance you made that throw.
we all've been there , fix and keep going forward
right over to center, left over to center, right over to center, left over to center braiding lol
When my kids were babies, I worked 7pm to 7am then stayed up all day with them, while my wife went to work, slept from 4pm-6pm, back to work at 7pm, did that for years!
Yeah opie is back enjoyed the video awesome 👌.
talk about a bad day. Like Long Haul Larry always says, We can try it all over tomorrow.
That was a awesome video, it does remind me of myself when I was driving👍👍
You tell Opie that people missed him, and he's like yawn, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We used to have hogs when I was a kid the the pork lungs were referred to as the lights some people would eat them, but not me🤮😂
We all have days like this once in a while, the mud just amplifies the results a bit ! Great content Kurt. Thanks
We all have those days Curt. Love your videos.
Hate when I forget to pull the hoses and cord off
Dude, kudos to you. I would have probably tossed a lot more. The weather patterns do not make life easy. Ps. Glad to see Opie. ❤
MOST TRK STOPS USED TO CARRIE THEM ON THE SHELF
Enjoyed your trip. Be safe.
Worked nights at a machine shop four years. 11pm to 7am Tuesday to Saturday and went to college during the day.
I have tried graveyard twice. I just don’t sleep much when it’s light out. I even put foil over the windows, no luck. You had one of those days. Not the first and not the last. We keep on keeping on. Havagudun and stay safe.
I hauled beef lungs that were made into iv's .
Looks like the lacquer on your hood is starting to come off
I feel your pain and anger Kurt. Been there, done that a couple times in my career. It sucks when you get out of sync, and, well, fuck up! Todd the retired trucker.
It's okay, Kurt. We've all been there in doing something so unbelievably dumb that it boggles the mind WHY it happened. Happy to see the German was there to keep you grounded.
Kurt how many of the mega carriers are doing what you do, ta me it's ridiculous they're greedy I'm surprised there not into fuel tankers although that would take someone smarter than a steering wheel holder just like the one who cut ya short. Chit happens Kurt it's just a light cord 7way, it wasn't a dropped trailer so you're doing great bud.🇺🇸👍
Just boggles the mind that a company would let a parking lot deteriorate to that condition. It makes you feel as a driver that you simply don't matter. Way to hang in there when things went sideways. We've all been there.
hi OPIE /kirt, trucking 2gether/just moved into your area/u r close now
I like the night driving vids'. love the over the shoulder out the front wind screen.
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger , I've snapped an air line or 2 in My 20 plus Yrs. holdin a Steering Wheel !
Methinks you had it right: “Net sales for Hill's Pet Nutrition totaled $1.11 billion, up 5% from $1.06 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the company reported. Operating profit was $231 million”
We all mess up every now and then, I done the same thing in 30yrs of driving almost drop a trailer once and had a fith wheel slide unlock that scared me and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
Thanks for the video
Kirt hey don't feel bad when shit happens it happens big time I a week like you having and it just wouldn't stop so I just gave up on it got that out of the way and started a knew week fresh so we all have a bad day or week but just think when you have a good day or week that means everything bad became positive so be patient and there's good things to some.
Graveyard's worse in the summer.
Kurt I don't blame u for being pissed off I would have been upset also the mud should be taken care of , the mud alone would have pissed me off I hate mud , I would have left the trailer also
As Josh would say keep your stick on the ice.
It's okay kurt we all have them days. I had one about a month ago
I have always loved graveyard shift. Born a night owl.
Dang, you definantly had "one of those days".
It was intresting
That's not too bad. What's bad is sending a gladhand through the back of the cab like I did once. I only hooked the red line to move a trailer for a favor. I pulled the pin, got sidetracked by another driver. Hopped in the seat and pulled out. Then BANG. YA. The hose was twice it's normal length and the gladhand was sticking out of the hole in the cab.
Yep. Seems like it’s the toll ya hafta pay for” helping out “
@@karlsborgwi.jewell9919 No good deed goes unpunished.
Yeah hope your German is doing well
The real night people are a strange bunch, when I had a non sleeping baby I would listen to the radio phone in calls
As the hours ticked away the people got stranger and weirder . And I don’t think I learned a thing.
Dirty hands honest work
