Thank God for the real truck drivers!

My dad said one time he was in Chicago and had to back up down an alleyway with cars on both sides and had to jackknife into the loading dock. He said it was snowing outside. By the time he had the trailer to the dock, he had both windows down and the AC blowing😂

[@doom1495]

🤣🤣🤣Happened to me too they expect us to make miracles

[@cmonsense154]

😂😂😂Yes more than a few times. If you haven't had one of those experiences you really haven't drove truck! From a Chicago driver 12yrs strong.

[@shouseism]

Schmidt you are a true professional driver not many left, keep videos coming my friend,

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@GDFSTi257]

“I’m not a teacher” But you are one hell of a role model. Know this is an older video, but wanted to comment how much your calm professional attitude is appreciated. The world needs more drivers like this.

[@mixermanbear.4002]

Can’t beat the whistle and growl of a big CAT.😎👍

[@phillipwilkerson614]

Great job you seems like a very decent and skillful driver

[@Moshishak1]

You are actually one of a very tiny number of truck drivers who is in a good shape, praise God.

[@cantbreathe3329]

The everyday struggle of driving a long nose. They are incredibly gorgeous and there's nothing else like them going down the highway. But unless you drive one, you definitely don't know the everyday issue's of the area needed to make the turns. It's definitely a true art form of being able to turn 1 without hitting the corners. Driver of a 2016 Peterbilt 389 long nose.

Great Job brother...love your truck...best truck ever made...im from davenport iowa....

This is why I love my Volvo, for days like this.

[@chrishelms1967]

I drove past that firehouse on 25th Ave. just north of Cermack Road (22nd) for years on my way home from Midnights to avoid the 290

[@brianwilliams309]

Almost 2 thousand subs! That is mind blowing. When in doubt, think it out.

[@scottberry5266]

I used to do the south water market shuffle five nights a week no power steering fixed tandem 48’ trailer. Then I got to go to jewel foods inside dock about three days a week after I did the market. Then do Chinatown for my reload, ahhh those were the days....

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thats some driving there.

Trucking With Schmidt : didn’t know any better.

[@marktoken6052]

Stopped in to see the museum in the Iowa 80 truck stop 2 years ago. Cool stuff there.

[@6stringgunner511]

Taking the skyway bridge in and out was ALWAYS my choice of route. The toll costs $! But, well worth saving the headache.

[@apolloniaaskew9487]

My Uncle like your blog since you drive a Kenworth.

Boyhowdy that was nice. It is extremely important to have good communication

[@JCA-Z]

How ya doing Mr. Schmidt, man i'll tell you at the beginning of the video i was pumping my imaginary brakes the moment you went under that train bridge. I'm grateful that you explain things and give your perspective on how you'd handle the problems or situations that you come across but your correct on how you explain things. My two cents is knowing your equipment and it's limitations and about the mask.....if i had 5 dollars for every time I forgot to bring my mask with me, i'd be on a paid vacation in hawaii right about now. God bless stay safe and stay loaded. 🇺🇸

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you.

That mural on the trailer at the truck stop was out if this world!

[@pdswrld5200]

5:41 Cute eyes my friend👀 👍

[@jimbrooks1031]

I hate to admit it, but I’ll for all your new drivers. This is the way you shift your gears, slow and consistent. This is one good truck driver knows how to shift gears and get maximum RPMs and performance out of his engine truck on brother

[@charleshouse5541]

Pretty cool seeing that stainless on a company ride. I pulled into downtown windy and backed down between two skyscrapers too unload some rice off my 48 ft reefer. I dodged freaking fire escapes hanging down man! It was a 200 yard "zig and sag" afair. Plus only about a 15 foot wide alley! LoL. Outstanding.

[@saras4181]

Glad you're having a good day! I just hate it when I forget that mask and have to go back for it! Maybe in another eight to ten months we won't be worrying so much about masks!

[@shawnsnyder8876]

And glad your having a better day today told you tomorrow is another day😉👍

The first year of driving through Chicago and the other communities was hectic. THOSE bridges were very scary. I've seen too many trailers opened up like soup cans. I had a map showing low bridges. But, you STILL pucker, inching your way under a rusty set of steel girders. Ha ha ha 😂!

I've never been over the road but I cut my teeth on backing into some really bad places while in the oilfield especially down here in Southeast Texas and Louisiana. I've been in areas where you have to hit it or you lose your truck in the swamp.

[@chrise3801]

Yes slow down and think 👍

[@jiggyjoe2449]

I once had a guy pop out his truck at midnight to tell me my clearance while parking at a truck stop in Fairburn GA. I was following his instructions to keep going when I hear the sound of metal collide. Good thing I was going real slow, I winded up hitting the chrome cover of a drivers side smoke stack. Driver I hit was about to call the police when I persuaded him with $200.00 dollars to let it go. Lesson learned, DON'T TRUST ANYONE WHEN BACKING UP AT A TRUCK STOP, ALWAYS GET OFF AND LOOK!!!

[@Yared542]

Watching from texas sir good job 🙏🙏

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

[@karlrebbetoy2002]

I did 2yrs as a city driver in a daycab 53ft trailer. Spent my day backing up more then going forward at times? It was get out have a look and wonder how I am I going to get that trailer in there. I had fun! Everybody told me I was number one every day hahaha. Changed jobs and they wanted me to do OTR NO I'll do city. NO insurance does not let us hire guys like you to do city with out OTR. So drove a box truck and still had fun.

Hello from dunlap Iowa. I have seen your truck a few times before

[@TheMickster86]

Do miss driving, never really had any problems in Chicago. Was a few places where my tractor was in the street while I was in the dock. However there was an rr donnelley in LA, that place was not built for a sleeper tractor.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

It is addictive, but not driving can be equally as addictive.

[@bigjim3644]

I hated Chicago when I started trucking years ago. I was scared of hitting a low bridge as a rookie.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I touched one once, was at a crawl because it looked low. Once it touched I back out. For 2 miles lol.

[@georgenicholas3127]

I realy like the inside of the truck, ol shoot i like the whole truck . how is your family doing, tel them the lord is in control. Be careful out there.

Back when Mt St Helens blew her top, we had particles of ash clear over here in Cleveland Ohio. $2.38 gallon for Diesel ⛽? Not too bad, these days. But when I started out. I was paying .72¢ gallon at Fuel City truckstops down south. Times have changed.

[@jareddrogose1470]

Paccar boasted about being the owner operators' truck of choice, but you'd think they'd give you more room to turn the steer wheels. Anyway, I appreciate that Paccar trucks are designed to haul freight at high speeds.

I drive chicago every day and the roads and bridges are what you have to worry about the most down town. On I-294 ive had cars and motorcycles race past me doing close to 100mph, and my rigs maxed out at 68mph.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thats moving

[@jmh4ggg]

Everyone that's driven through Chicago knows...at least twice during your drive though you will see someone doing 100+, especially on 94...i always go with the flow there..which is about 10 over.

In and out shifting, moving the splitter in neutral, take notes boys.......

[@johnmeadows5645]

I have loaded or unloaded in about all of the major US cities, but i never had to go to Chicago.

[@tossedsalad5532]

A question about your shift ? When you split you gears you move your shifter out of the gear and back into the same gear when you split the gear in the same gear ( why move the gear to neutral and back into the same gear ) the manufactor recommends split the shift without the moving the gear out of the sellected gear JUST split the gear while in the sellected gear

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Just the way I was taught and it never left my head. It always made shifting in the 86 a tad better.
