Shepherds are so loyal, had them for nearly 50 years, great dogs. I don’t always comment but I never ever miss your videos. Kind regards from Scotland, Johnny
Another great video Kurt just remember while they are auditing you they are giving another guy a rest.. Your Father comes across as a real genuine guy and I think how fortunate you are to still have them..Happy trails Kurt from Sydney Australia.
Hi Kurt. I was wondering or getting lost in the world, Wild West then saw your video. I really enjoy it. Pleasant yet lot of facts of life in which we are facing all the time. Good luck with the audit. It seems the government has no guts to audit big corporations if they do they going to deport auditors of the 103rd floor for an unforgettable landing. With some billions of $$$$ and hiring some 20 000 auditors they are well underway to go getting those who working hard and earning $0 after paying governmentent taxes , bills etc. Anyway good luck. Citizens Appreciate honest hard-working people like you. I gave you like and subs have wonderfull time.
Yep those stupid bars on the w9 grills. I even tried little dabs of steel stick trying to not have it look stupid, that didn’t work either so bars are in the shop no longer bothering me.
I live in New York City, and do you know the best parts of your videos are..? When you drive through those small towns. Opie is still my dude, but the best part are the views of those small towns. ✌🏾
Hey good luck on the audit man dont lettem get to you.. happens to me too.. snow tonight up north Holland Michigan. . 38F now.. get first class winter ready asap !!❤ safe travels bud
Kurt, I remember the frustration my dad had with the 3 letter agencies also. They were a dirty word in our house growing up. Your self employeed and they love to go after anyone self employeed. Praying things go well for you. Keep doing what you are doing. We need you and all of the self employeed of this nation even if the government treats you badly.
Years ago I read a cartoon in The Trucker newspaper that joked about everyone would work for the "trucking company". Kurt is exactly right, they can more easily manage a big company.
Don't feel bad. I had to deal with property tax walk through appraisals/verifications for 16 years running. Come to find out I made "the list" because I was honest and the firm doing the walk throughs saw me as easy verification/fee income. Finally ended a couple of years before I sold out and retired.
Before I retired I worked for 43+ years for a small motor coach and school bus company with several locations the first 30 years or so as a mechanic and remaining years as fleet manager. Over the years I went through several audits both state and federal. The federal ones in Minnesota were performed by Minnesota dept of transportation employees contracted to the federal government, the state ones were performed by the Minnesota department of public safety. And then, because we were a defense contractor ( doing military troop movements) every three years we would have a department of defense audit. They would usually last three to four days . We always did well but they would always find some small issues. I hated it. Good luck.
@Trucking With Schmidt I feel your pain, two years in a row. I had my authority for 12 years. They came and audited me 6 months after I started. I passed was given a satisfactory rating. I was never audited again for the remaining 11 1/2 years. I will cross my fingers for you. Maybe you will get a good agent and not some jerk.
Love your channel! Being from northwest iowa I really enjoy seeing all the places you go that I’ve been to myself!!! Any advice for someone wanting to become an owner operator? Appreciate the videos and be safe!
You're just totally coming apart. I'm sensing a bit of psychosis setting in with that audit. You'll be fine. Keep doing what you;re doing just to piss them off. I hope you got everything done at home. It was snowing here this morning. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Good to see Opie being frisky in the yard when you got home. Breeze thru that audit know its frustrating anything govt tax related is. Seems my parents at one time lived in Florida and made a lot of money. NEVER in their lifetime.! Guess we all need to claim we're amish. Safe travels to you and Opie.
Looks like little Bud took your spot in the Garage. Those lights in the Garage look pretty bright. Did your father get stickers with his picture on them? I did look but didn't see any on the website. Takecare Kurt
Wow Kurt’s grumpy and in a bad mood. Alice from trucking together looks like a lost puppy without Martin. I’m staying out of my truck this week, it might be contagious!
You’re making too much money kurt 😅 they cant have that happening. Also when they ask me any spots you want us to focus on i tell them yeah the whole truck 😂😂
well, it the same criteria with Gorilla tape on the shoe repair. Next time you are at home take a dremel tool, drill a hole in that little bar that lost the clip, from side to the other side. Get you a clear plastic zip tie, and go through both holes into the grill behind it. Pull it tight, snip off the tail and that should hold it straight. Love the plastic zip tie for semi-permanent fixes. You can get them in just about any color and size to meet the situation. Or if you don't want to drill two small holes in that fancy 'bar', just loop over the whole thing into the grill and that will hold it too. Yeah, audits suck, and you described the GOV, to a 'T'. Best regards, Chuck
Audit...UGH !!! Unfortunately gotta play their b/s game.you'll be fine 🤞. Tell me your shoe size Christmas is just around the corner ( and dad's too ) . Seriously ( that wasn't a bad tape job ,now add some gorilla glue ) lol
Not to get into politics but they audit a hard working trucker 2 years to see how youre spending your money but that same irs cant seem to find or figure out the money laundering, unpaid income taxes of the current president and his family......give me a break.
If everything is in order and you are not cheating what is the issue. Everyone should pay their fair share so we can all enjoy those interstate highways
Shepherds are so loyal, had them for nearly 50 years, great dogs.

Been there done that with the audit BS! They need to do an audit on the extortion company they work for.
💯
Hey Kurt, use blue locktite on the grill trim. It should keep the screws tight.
Another great video Kurt just remember while they are auditing you they are giving another guy a rest.. Your Father comes across as a real genuine guy and I think how fortunate you are to still have them..Happy trails Kurt from Sydney Australia.

Remember the MOST DANGEROUS PHRASE.....I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Oh …… so …… true
💯
Amen
State of Iowa...not Feds
@@davidsmith8748 It's those less government Republicans
3:22 what a roller coaster of emotions in just 10 sec😂😂
You should register the Truck in UTAH where you can establish residency in a day
Glad Ur ok out on the road!!!!!!!😎👍🏾🇺🇸put sum super glue on those screws for the grill bars & they'll stay tite.
That's what I'm thinking
Yep those stupid bars on the w9 grills. I even tried little dabs of steel stick trying to not have it look stupid, that didn’t work either so bars are in the shop no longer bothering me.
I’ve been saying the same as you just stated. I think in next 10-15 years there will be maybe 10 Mega carriers and zero O/O
I live in New York City, and do you know the best parts of your videos are..? When you drive through those small towns. Opie is still my dude, but the best part are the views of those small towns. ✌🏾
Try JB Weld on those louvers and then the fasteners from the inside. Should hold.🤞🤞
Hey good luck on the audit man dont lettem get to you.. happens to me too.. snow tonight up north Holland Michigan. . 38F now.. get first class winter ready asap !!❤ safe travels bud
sorry your getting it again, country is going to hell in a hand basket
Would like to hear stories of your Dad's paramedic work years. Best Wishes!
That blue bull rack that passed you looks like the guy with RUclips channel. He's from Iowa also I think. Take care and stay safe
Off the road for 10 yrs now, but sure enjoyed living in my truck, with my duct tape
I see Onawa has sub-divided their Main Street and nice shot of the Loess Hills.
Your bars on the grill would stay tight if you use 242 blue locktite..

I got a pair of shoes like that I mow the grass in

Yea, the Germanator is back with his grumpy dad😉. Hope your audit turns out alright. Going 10-7 till the next time🚛
Its SUCKS! I got audited for 3 years in a row. Absolutely ridiculous.
In west central Ohio, a lot of corn planted the middle of May is still 30% moisture.
Absolute balderdash. There are FAR more apt adjectives-but I'll leave it at that. You Sir are a GOOD man.
Still sending Prayers to you all ✌️❤️ from Ogden Iowa. Pam
Hey Kurt. I love your videos. I been going back and watching the older ones.
Thank you
Pet Opie and Jaxs for me. I love Germans.
nice shoe fix..that made me laugh
I know times are tough, But Taping them dogs up, 😂 come on Schmidt.
Another great video thank you for making by day. Hi opie.
You didn't know that cheeseburgers for the German wasn't a tax write-off LOL
I did the same thing do my shoes that were so comfortable to wear when I drove my truck. Good Luke in your audit
Nail polish works to keep them tight and easier to remove if needed. Locktite works but dont use red for sure.
Pizza Ranch!!! Have not been to one since I left Illinois in 2013. Wish we had one here in South Carolina.
They have to have something for those new 80,000 plus gun toting IRS agents to do !!
Love your channel! Being from northwest iowa I really enjoy seeing all the places you go that I’ve been to myself!!! Any advice for someone wanting to become an owner operator? Appreciate the videos and be safe!
Be careful what you say about the government they are listening have a safe day
You're just totally coming apart. I'm sensing a bit of psychosis setting in with that audit. You'll be fine. Keep doing what you;re doing just to piss them off. I hope you got everything done at home. It was snowing here this morning. Please stay safe, and God bless.
I would move it too the center of grill, then move top to left. Then your left of center!! Lolol
By the way those boots look it's time to get a new pair 😂❤
I seen a German shepherd today,pure black one, beautiful dog 🐕
Good to see Opie being frisky in the yard when you got home. Breeze thru that audit know its frustrating anything govt tax related is. Seems my parents at one time lived in Florida and made a lot of money. NEVER in their lifetime.! Guess we all need to claim we're amish. Safe travels to you and Opie.
just keep the center one it will look good
Keep on trucking.
well said kurt (amen)
Duck tape always helps. Matt Damon used it on his astronaut helmet on Mars, so I think it's perfectly ok to be used on shoes 👍
Love your channell, great video again.
They don't make shoes as good as they once did,,,,,,now they so high the truck driver can't afford them
He looks to be moving better. I bet he gets a lot more exercise at home. Make our own clips for the grill and Locktite.
DAD IS JUST TO SWEET !!
Grumpy Old Man Nice Video No Matter What ❤❤❤😀😀😀
if you are expecting snow there, it's on it's way here soon. I am glad I layed the plastic when I did. lol
Looks like little Bud took your spot in the Garage. Those lights in the Garage look pretty bright. Did your father get stickers with his picture on them? I did look but didn't see any on the website. Takecare Kurt
Halloween snow for Michigan next week
Wow Kurt’s grumpy and in a bad mood. Alice from trucking together looks like a lost puppy without Martin. I’m staying out of my truck this week, it might be contagious!
Your shoe is good as new Diesel dan
I notice who's Truck is in the new Garage !
Nylon lock nuts are best. Sorry to hear about the IRS. I hope you have a tax accountant. They kept great records for me.
Sounds like it's an Iowan problem. They want the road tax for the miles you drove in your state.
Nice video, drive safe out there
You’re making too much money kurt 😅 they cant have that happening. Also when they ask me any spots you want us to focus on i tell them yeah the whole truck 😂😂
Very sad. It’s Happening to most good people.
Well Homer, with the money you make, our government wants to get all they can. Squeeze a little more. You have it.

Hi Kurt and Opie
Sounds like you need a lawyer to read that
Audit...UGH !!! Unfortunately gotta play their b/s game.you'll be fine 🤞. Tell me your shoe size Christmas is just around the corner ( and dad's too ) . Seriously ( that wasn't a bad tape job ,now add some gorilla glue ) lol
I would go with loc tight over super glue
I had abacus do mine in 2020 2021 I'm having atbs. Who are you using or do you do it all yourself
Thanks for sharing
Excuse my ignorance but can you not have those slats on the grille of your truck welded in place?
I thought a mule had four legs not four wheels
There is no conspiracy
He said. No I'm not happy about it.
THANKS
The new man cave is looking great!
How true diesel Is dan
Hey Kurt I was wonder how u put that spinner wheel on if u had to use longer bolts
Not to get into politics but they audit a hard working trucker 2 years to see how youre spending your money but that same irs cant seem to find or figure out the money laundering, unpaid income taxes of the current president and his family......give me a break.
Getting audited because nobody would believe that a o/o truck driver could afford to take so many vacations!
That's all I can type....I have volume 🤔😞😜
I hear ya, I paid 16K in federal taxes last year; got audited and told me to pay another 13K........I'm not complaining
Hey save them shoes you can wear that to the IRS office if they call you in
Safe Travels SCHIMDT 🐕🦺
🚛 💨💨💨💨
Maybe you can spread dog food on the auditors and take Opie with you and see what happens.
They got to keep those 87,000 IRS Agents busy.
KURT YOU NAILED IT ON YOUR A 1 MAN OPERATION & WE HATE YOU !! GOD HOW TRUE !! BE BLESSED & STAY SAFE !! APPRECIATE YA !!!🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🙏🙏
If everything is in order and you are not cheating what is the issue. Everyone should pay their fair share so we can all enjoy those interstate highways
If you can’t say something smart don’t bother
🤦♂️
Right!
I love your audit speech, was going to say more but will refrain 🤬
Blue locktite Kurt. Welder fabricator 39 years. Soon to retire.
For the audit, didn't you park your truck for awhile during that time? That may be why they want to audit you...
What do they set you back for the truck wash?
Stay safe
Once they start they don’t stop
What does an Audit consist of Kurt?
Are you giving out Red flags for them to do this
Why did the trucker get audited? Because he's an avid RUclips content creator.
