Love seeing Opie, he keeps you company and in line! Sometimes his expression cracks me up and other times he looks at you like you're his world! First class sounds good! Stay safe out there!
I see some of these u tube truckers that have been trucking for 15 minutes and couldn't drive a stake in a hogs a$$ ! And they've got 150k subs ? Come on people Kurt deserves more subs. Go ahead hit like and then subscribe. That is all. Lol. U hang in there
Looking forward to seeing your dad's old tractors. I grew up in Illinois out in the country right along I 80 when it was being built. Always made sure I had a window seat in school so I could watch all the trucks and tractors 😂! That's how my illustrious 50 yr career began and I wouldn't change a thing. I'm retired now but still do a little trucking and farming on the side. You and Opie stay safe and keep the great videos coming! God bless 👍
I drive a desk for work every day and have no regrets on my career decision, but man, today's video and that POV video had me wanting to throw it all away and go buy a truck.
I take enough pills I rattle when I walk. I would love to see your dad's tractors. I have that old iron disease too. I have a 1928 Rumley X 25-40. I love old buildings. My husband and I are saving one of our downtown buildings built in 1852. Thank you for sharing all of those wonderful towns and an awesome ride. Safe travels and God bless.
When my dad worked for Graves Truck line his run was from k.c. Kansas to Great Bend & Dodge City 2 times a week and then sometime they added a Junction City Manhattan turn in the same week. That was in the late 50s,60s and early 70s.
I have a heart failure and I take 5 pills in the morning and 6 at night I got Cancer and they no telling how many pills they will have me on after I have surgery
W900L doors, when you replace the door seals, also replace the Teflon door-sill tabs. They center the door and extend your door-sill life. God speed and stay safe.
I really enjoyed the back roads of Indiana. The county court houses always amazed me. I don't believe they could be built today. The skilled old time stone masons are all gone and the cost would be thru the roof. Life in the USA 100 years ago was different than now, maybe better, maybe worst, but we are stuck at where we are.
I feel you when you said you can tell when you miss a day. I'm a type 2 diabetic and I have meds that I have to take three times a day. I can tell when I miss a dose. When I do it takes half a day or longer to get it back in my system and I'm miserable until it kicks back it. You and Opie stay safe. Give him a belly rub. Oh. How's the merchandise coming. We want to show folks who we follow.
I use to tell my Pug, Joey Bear, "This is a Walk, Not, a Stand"! Lol! Rest His Little Soul! But man, when U just told Opie "I'm just a little Cold.... etc" Lol! Hilarious! Needed a Good Laugh! Thanks Schmidt! :)
Yup still here LOL sleet all day down here. in Oklahoma lighting and thunder snow today Friday.. it was Sun shine today high 33 degree melt very little if the ice just made it. Like slippery. Hope tomarrow is better and warmer..
One of the reasons I enjoy your videos is listening to the turbo whistle on your truck takes me back to 1976 when I first learned to drive in a 1973 Pete with a 3406 Cat. Really good memories.
Hi Kurt I have been to the kinsley Kansas rest spot where the train was. It had a sign that said midway USA from san Francisco to New York. I was there in 2013 from Australia. Keep up the great videos.👍
when the railroads were being built in the mid to late 1800s, the Government gave land grants to them within 5-10 miles away from the rail lines in order to help develop the Western states. As a result, towns generally were built 7-10 miles apart, keeping the distance down that farmers had to travel to bring their grain or lumber to the railroad station. I'm sure it's a lot more detailed than that, but gives you a good basic idea of how it worked. Keep up the good work and safe travels.
I know its a pain but good to see you going through all the little towns. I soon will be moving to a town 50 miles west of Salina so maybe will catch you going through. Really enjoyed the video and your personal touch to it. Y;all be safe and havagudun Kurt and Opie.
I want to see your father's collection of antique tractors only if they are John Deere tractors. If it ain't green it's just a dream. Real tractors are green.
Like old tractors and old trucks myself too. Old people pill containers are the way to keep organized. Have one myself. Have pills for arthritis I take everyday if I miss one day I know I missed a day. Stay safe and warm. Opie really likes his food. I like the looks he gives you makes me laugh.
When you went thru Ellsworth that building you thought was the courthouse is actually the old hospital. They're trying to get it as a historical building. Have a safe trip.
This was one of my favorite videos with you talking and commenting and observing as you drive along. It was just really fun to be in the cab with you. I loved it. Hope you do this more in this style in the future!
Great Bend Ks home of Guthrie trailers Pulled a spread axle 53 ft cow pot Loved there self serve wash out killer water presure Been a year or two probably not even there anymore Kansas has alot of truckin history
I keep my interior lights as dim as I can. I’m not a fan of the inside being light up. The darker the better. Exterior light, the more the better!! Great video Kurt. Hi Opie.
I always kept red lights on inside my cab at night as they improve night vision and do not cause any issues inside the cab. Pilots in the Cockpits have been using red lights for decades to prevent night blindness..
@@Leveraction-xr4uz red lights do not improve night vision, They just lessen the loss of night vision as compared to a white light. You still lose vision, even with red.
Hi mate, want to say that this is one of your best videos you've made. Enjoyed the commentary as you drove along. Being from out of town, Australia, haven't seen your beautiful country, and wonderful towns, nor will I ever. Except through Truckers like your self. Have been a subscriber for some 18months,so keep up the great work mate. John, Queensland, Australia.
Hey Kurt and Opie,love your vids beena fan for a while,retired trucker popped some pills way back in the 70's crazy times then anyway you Crack me up Kurt, up first class looks great bud as always see you next time keep truckin up,whoop- whoop!!
490 miles EB n down Old Iron, It’s about the Hunt!!!! The buy is the let down. Peterbuilt of Great Bend Good job Nebraska DOT Reefer fuel issues if not maintained Drive safe Opie
Hey Kurt n Opie, love seeing the small towns ur driving through n i took notice that's most of the towns have grain bins n rail cars, is that very common in the west? U all stay warm n stay safe n see ya both next time
Another comment further into the video. Lol. That building in Larned was damaged I'm the wind couple months ago. Just saw news article about it. Was the town playhouse built in 1887 or something. I agree those old buildings are really cool
Lol Lmao I do The Same Thing With The Dome Light at Night time.....I'll Flip it on & Ride like that for an hour or Two like u stated.....Ten Roger four
It's been cold all over , I know what you mean cold coming in truck , that's only thing I didn't like about w 900 it was new too ,but it was cold sleeper had cold air coming in somewhere had to turn heaters on high always, I know peterbilts not cold like that , but try stay warm and keep that dog warm , take care and careful
Canned dog food - I use the "stew" version. It has gravy and chunks of meat - is easily mixed in with the dry food. Purina makes some reasonably priced called High Protein. My guys love it.
Its so cool seeing you drive the same roads i drive when im on the road! If you headed east on 56 out of great bend towards McPherson you would pass right by my little town of just over 100 people. Drive safe and god bless!
That's an amazing run up across Kansas isn't it? My dad bought a brand new John Deere 4040 power shift out of Ellsworth back in the day...one of only 2 new tractors he ever bought. Wish I had it. Back in the day............
56 is flat as all get out. Then when you head N out of great bend 156 gives you a ride! It’s faster anyways to zig zag in Larned anyways! I have family in Great Bend so it’s cool to see it when you go through there.
I have a wabso heater for the bunk and the engine and I really like it in my 1998 kw t800 I use the bunk heater to keep worm even when I am driving when it is really cold the only thing I would do different is get one in the bunk to set timers and Temps kinda like the engine one. I also think in October there is a big sale on them at thermo King up here by Rochester mn
When ever I hear Omaha, I think of this.... Omaha?!, Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure Well mercy sakes alive good buddy We gonna back on outta here So keep the bugs off yer glass An' the bears off yer... tail 10-4...LOL Great video brother.. Hi Pop, God Bless you and your family Kurt. Truck easy Big AL
Buy Dynamat! It's thicker and sticks harder! Hushmat is thin and doesn't have as good sound or thermal insulation capability.... Do your entire cab and sleeper from floor to roof! They even have floor specific insulation and I also believe dynamat has firewall insulation too. I also recommend getting all of your windows and windshield retinted with a UV tint film....
I’ve noticed you say squirrel when you get drawn off you train of thought, I’d guess attention defensivenesses…I’ve got a friend that says the same thing. Really enjoy your videos…hope you have a great day on the road.
Kansas and Iowa town’s 10 miles apart. In Illinois we had slower horses as towns are 7 miles apart as this was the distance a horse could travel along the railroads
man those pills kicked in quick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love seeing Opie, he keeps you company and in line! Sometimes his expression cracks me up and other times he looks at you like you're his world! First class sounds good! Stay safe out there!

A couple of them are dangerous too. Two weeks of experience and talking and filming away while driving.
Ohhhh ok I seen the headline and thought I was back in the 80s 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 along with the "white line" fever 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Tell opie that's a new popsicle flavor dog food 🤣🤣🤣

If your ever near Emporia, Kansas there is a Hostess plant. Just backup to the warehouse door, and load it up with your Zingers! Say safe!
Also a big warehouse just up the road in Edgerton, KS full of all things Hostess destined for stores everywhere.
@Sandy G thanks for the Information!
I drive a desk for work every day and have no regrets on my career decision, but man, today's video and that POV video had me wanting to throw it all away and go buy a truck.
Opie is like turn that damn light 💡 off dad ,don’t you see me trying to sleep.
I have a old 1952 Farmall Cub that we restored.....great fun, great old little tractor.
I take enough pills I rattle when I walk. I would love to see your dad's tractors. I have that old iron disease too. I have a 1928 Rumley X 25-40. I love old buildings.

Small town America - Love it. Appreciated the town tour today. Most of them are populated by stately silos and sincere citizens.
W900L doors, when you replace the door seals, also replace the Teflon door-sill tabs. They center the door and extend your door-sill life. God speed and stay safe.
Ya they broke enturn taking the bottom of the seal out I think.

It's coming is all I can say.
The deer in the headlight look. Lol
Yes you and super trucker Dan are my favorite u tube videos. Always look every day for new ones. Stay safe .
How'd you climb that Kansas mountain without an oxygen tank? That was impressive.
I use to tell my Pug, Joey Bear, "This is a Walk, Not, a Stand"! Lol! Rest His Little Soul! But man, when U just told Opie "I'm just a little Cold.... etc" Lol! Hilarious! Needed a Good Laugh! Thanks Schmidt! :)
I've had years of great hunting through the 156 corridor up 81 and back down 24 to Glen elder.

I’ve been to Larned and Great Bend. Brings back memories. Good content. Be safe out there.
At the S corner by the bank in Larned...they are taking the building down. It was an opera house in the day
Like old tractors and old trucks myself too. Old people pill containers are the way to keep organized. Have one myself. Have pills for arthritis I take everyday if I miss one day I know I missed a day. Stay safe and warm. Opie really likes his food. I like the looks he gives you makes me laugh.

I enjoy watching the kirk and Opie comedy show one of the best on Utube
Been in the 70’s in Cartersville for 2 days
When you went thru Ellsworth that building you thought was the courthouse is actually the old hospital. They're trying to get it as a historical building. Have a safe trip.
Hope they succeed. It's a great looking building
This was one of my favorite videos with you talking and commenting and observing as you drive along. It was just really fun to be in the cab with you. I loved it. Hope you do this more in this style in the future!

Amazon has the best price for the the door seals and I used noico mat and siless sound deadening. It made a world of difference.
Canned dog food - I use the "stew" version. It has gravy and chunks of meat - is easily mixed in with the dry food. Purina makes some reasonably priced called High Protein. My guys love it.
DeWayne loves trains also, what kind of pills did you take? You are very high strung today. Lol.
Its so cool seeing you drive the same roads i drive when im on the road! If you headed east on 56 out of great bend towards McPherson you would pass right by my little town of just over 100 people. Drive safe and god bless!

56 is flat as all get out. Then when you head N out of great bend 156 gives you a ride!

Hi Pop, God Bless you and your family Kurt. Truck easy
Big AL
I grew up in Kansas.. 10 mile towns are common..
You would just love the webasto airtop 2000 st
You could just order led bulbs if you're looking for more light in the cab, I did for the sleeper
Buy Dynamat! It's thicker and sticks harder! Hushmat is thin and doesn't have as good sound or thermal insulation capability.... Do your entire cab and sleeper from floor to roof! They even have floor specific insulation and I also believe dynamat has firewall insulation too. I also recommend getting all of your windows and windshield retinted with a UV tint film....
Look up sparetime fab they make a lot of stuff for kenworths and peterbilts ✌🏼
My doctor turned me into a pill bottle several years ago, gettin old aint all that good, lol. Stay safe out there and get Opie a cheeseburger.
I’ve noticed you say squirrel when you get drawn off you train of thought, I’d guess attention defensivenesses…I’ve got a friend that says the same thing. Really enjoy your videos…hope you have a great day on the road.
Attention deficit, sorry for the misspelling.
I thought I was the only one who made strange noises and ramblings as I drove along. :-P
Glad to find myself in good company. :-)
Kansas and Iowa town’s 10 miles apart.
