Craziness In Laredo Texas ~ I Need A Nap

We are getting unloaded and reloaded in Laredo Texas today and it is crazy town all over the place. We get held up at an intersection and watch trucks bounce off of curbs.
Thank you for watching

Does this channel have a lot more advertisements or it just me?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I'm wanting an answer on this one to? I don't know why it would vs others, but im curious.

[@rae1957tn]

Yes I guess he needs the money it costs a lot to live on the road. I’ll watch the ads because trucking is a hard life

[@jasonjansen9974]

This particular video goes hard on adds, but not nearly as much as usually...no problem too me tho

[@hewhohasnoidentity4377]

The ads are based on the individual viewers behavior. If you haven't watched KZbin for at least a few hours you'll get an occasional preroll ad and nothing during the video. If you have spent a while watching videos you will get more ads. Eventually you will have ad breaks every 20 seconds. Viewers can skip ad breaks by turning off autoplay, skip to the end and then replay. No ad breaks will play during replay. Otherwise, I use KZbin Premium and I don't get ads. The content provider gets a % of the revenue based on what I watch.

[@chuckwhaler]

@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 Thanks so much for the explanation. I knew none of this. The reason I get more ads on Schmidt, is because I watch a lot of KZbin and particularly Schmidt. I like Schmidt and will continue watching. Just needed to understand. You have helped a lot.

[@odd-one-out4409]

Awwww the doggo is Soooo cute ! I love to see truck drivers with their pets. It’s so warming to the heart and makes me more at ease knowing they have someone by their side. Blessings to all those truck drivers.

[@brentloftis3746]

In spite of what must be many frustrations to deal with - you do a fantastic job of displaying classy behavior. Thanks for taking us along with you. 🇺🇸

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@carlom3565]

Not this showing up in everyone from Laredo's KZbin suggestions lol

[@ianarchie3376]

First Class looks great with all her lights on. She looks especially great when she is washed.

[@frankevans6614]

Bhaha all of what lights he took them all off because some we're not working can't wait to see when he puts them all back on the first class will be looking sharp again chicken lights and chrome

[@randyphillips5713]

Your truck looked beautiful sitting there at the Mexican food truck site. Another great video.

[@lynngatrell7965]

I love Laredo. Best tacos I ever had there! However, being a truck driver there is TOUGH! There are tons of trucks there, and finding a place to park is next to impossible!

[@z-z-z-z]

there is a ton of parking in laredo, if you include the streets in the industrial areas; very trucker friendly.

[@la2toronto789]

Very trucker friendly, I’m happy my city of Laredo doesn’t bother truck drivers. Pretty much you can park anywhere just stay safe and close doors! 😃 id recommend staying close to other trucks. Usually plenty of trucks bobtail at the Walmart’s. 😃

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@Texan190]

Yea I'll park on the street too. I've parked at the TA as well after dark, plenty of spots left.

[@jeremiahhawkins7688]

Always parking no matter what time of night at the Road Ranger at exit 31 before Laredo. Good breakfast tacos in the morning

[@larryfisher5796]

Laredo has been that way for years even back when I was trucken back in the 60s and 70s . Best of luck 👋😁

[@christophercarreon9244]

" Oh good lord why is a truck coming at me" had me laughing

[@jarell1996]

🤣🤣 that was the best part

[@alvinjenkins8005]

Great ride. Been in Laredo a lot in my Younger trucking days. Live in San Antonio. Hauled car parts from Mexico to Detroit area. But where drop and hook. Also did not go into Mexico. Love reliving my old days with you and Opie. Stay Safe

[@mikesouthorn9966]

Hi man you are doing amazing job it's hard work that for sure. I did it for 58 yrs as a ice truckers i feel your pain my friend. Take a huge breathe and always remember we are free on the road god bless you my friend.. SINCERELY Mike Southorn

[@scottzalinger8989]

Beautiful truck Schmidt! Be safe driver

[@howardhendrickson2933]

They say patience is a virtue, apparently that went out the "bleeping" window!!! Don't blame you for running nights, way way way safer!!!! Save travels

[@steveschmitt2849]

Good to see Laredo and warm weather for sure, boy Kurt your rig looks real good when she washed. Thanks for sharing and stay safe both you and the German. 👍

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you for joining

[@la2toronto789]

Laredo loves truckers! ❤️ love to be a Laredo truck driver!

[@la2toronto789]

Laredo truckers have a reputation I’d say 😂😂😂😀

[@brayandiaz658]

Im from laredo and this video came out on my suggested🔥

[@brucekoster9253]

You're a real trooper to take 75. Not sure the scenery is worth the extra time it will take...but on occasion it's nice to get off the big road and see the sights. Enjoy the trip either way....adios amigo ;-)

[@marvinelder3828]

Laredo was crazy. What a mess with trucks. At least you got out in one piece. Stay safe.

[@buglet59]

Great vid. You do an excellent job with you point of view and marrying it to the video!! Please be SAFE!!!

[@gregburgess6884]

Keep on keepin on🚛

[@JoseSanchez-jo3nc]

I used to work right next to that Warehouse, they got some pretty ladies working there 😁

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool video man 👍

[@davidgilbert1359]

Truck looks good all cleaned up. That's a very nice w9.

[@floydjacksonjr.1545]

One burrito for me.... One for Opie. Good Driver...

[@datijeznat8780]

That’s the reason I like Laredo too, really feels like it’s relax time once the sun goes down and the food truck by the TA has decent food.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@deanfincham7106]

what a truck schmidt when its all polished up lovely good on u man

[@johncoaker4952]

1'st Class looks great. Take good care if her.

[@petedesalvo7398]

Laredo arrgh.... haven’t been there in years and I can’t say I miss it. Lots of trucks, small roads, small docks, and everyone seems to be late for something. Or at least that’s how they drive. Stay safe, love the videos.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thanks

[@kyledesborough6045]

Love your intro's u gear jamming awesome truck 🚚 driver burrito🌯eatin dude and u wanted 4 feel sorry for OPIE💨💨😂😆always be safe keep on trucking☕✌☕

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Lol thank you

[@jerrycalvert7680]

Welcome to Laredo. Every day disasster

[@keithbender5759]

lorado is a crazy place trucks trucks and more trucks sat there 2 hours to drop a trailer ended up at wrong address great job on shipper

[@janetdavis5619]

I was looking for my usual KZbin sites and ran across you, we were just there in Laredo last Thursday the 25th, we arrived around 6:30 at the Columbia Bridge, we live in Mexico, retired there 5 years, we were on Mines Rd, lots of trucks and traffic at 7:00 ! It was crazy, all the trucks! We had come from our city where we live, usually a 9 hour drive to Laredo, it took 12 hours due to a horrific accident involving 7 18 wheelers that were totally abliterated by fire! It took us 3 1/2 hours to go 5 miles! We finally made it to Laredo where we went to get our first Covid vaccine! We are originally from the DFW area! Be safe out there! And yes Laredo is a busy place!

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thanks for watching

[@johnmcclain7072]

Nice to see First Class styln and profyln. I dig crazy Laredo. Yes I know I'm not right in the head but I'm happy. The voices in there wanted me to remind you and Opie to truck it safe.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I like it down there to.

[@dschell1961]

texas is a beautiful state.

[@patrickwilson7378]

Yeah, my many Laredo experiences, all crazy! But then it's Mexico pretending to be the US. There was a time, not that long ago, that if you were in Wichita, Kansas territory and south of the Arkansas (pronounced Our Kansas) River, you were in Mexico territory. It's just a bunch of lines on a map, eh? Ha! Yes, the food trucks are good. But the best thing about Laredo is LEAVING! Yes, hwy 75 is how I often get down there from Kansas and back when I go to Texas or Oklahoma. I've got friends who ranch N of Yates Center off 57 and it's very pretty country. Anyway, Safe travels, Schmidt!

[@liza.andkeithsimpson5081]

Stay safe and well

[@larryolson1350]

Great videos. Just subscribed and looking forward to your tales. Am ex driver myself. Very entertaining.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

That W900 at 1:44 looks so identical to yours! Heck, it's your truck twin!

[@odd-one-out4409]

Note- if you’re on mines road(fm1472 ) heading south from Columbia bridge - perhaps to 35 or bob bullock (loop 20)- traffic is terrible and can last about an hour. If you’re exporting you can stay on the right lane, but if you’re not I suggest the left lane. Try to avoid around 6pm everyday cause you will be stuck there. “Except weekends” weekends are nice and breezy. 🕊

[@ry102777]

Laredo is always chaotic.

[@susanbrewer3083]

I have delivered at the same place and picked up at the place you did. Been years since i been down in larado. 6 years on a midwest dedicated so i do not go down past Oklahoma now.

[@omarmandujano6772]

My guy big fan and as a Laredo native and a truck driver down here it gets messy for two reasons Mexican drivers who get paid by each time they cross and not the mile/hour... and it’s the biggest inland import export site in the country so billions of dollars just cross every couple of hours or so things get messy really quickly

[@canceraxe1447]

Beautiful dog ❤️❤️❤️

[@wbball15]

I'm here to see the pooch.

[@preacherpaul7736]

Some days your the windshield and somedays your the bug. If you're rolling up 75 into Oklahoma there is a fair amount of construction, in Oklahoma, just a heads up. Love the rant. Stay safe Kurt.

[@starrider8676]

I see that you went through the same lying nonsense that I went through with that hazmat load.

[@rockyrossini4419]

yahoo!!look out for the flea market signs hahahahahhaah

[@javilozano7591]

Welcome to Laredo Bro..

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Beautiful area

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

It was because of the weather. Texas froze and was closed for a week. On major carriers LTL pick ups have been limited to 20% of the normal daily pick ups for a week. Supposed to get better first week of March.

[@toddvanzuiden600]

I hate those crooked buildings !!

[@brianjacobsen8365]

Wow! Once you got out of the industrial area where everyone one seemed to be stuck on stupid, you had a smooth trip north!

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yes

[@catfish573]

I like the PNP. You and the drive is good viewing.

[@haroldsmith3594]

Ol girl sounds good

[@charleswellinski8603]

That was crazy sitting 40 minutes but you got through it. Hi Opie

[@bobsymonds208]

Truck looks great. Remember what I mentioned bout be careful with some drivers. Your in the thick of it in Laredo. Be careful there. They don't care at all.!!!

[@earlgraves9681]

Yeah opie needs a nap bad lol

[@user-uh9lg9wg1d]

Holy cow. You actually got an actual parking spot at a Texas rest area on the 35 ??? Wow. And just south of Fort Worth. !!! You need to buy a lottto ticket. Hahah. Have ya ran the 81 from Salina up to York Nebraska then east on the 80 into Omaha. Not a bad 4 lane. I-135 goes south from Salina KS and the 81 Is the north side. Basically the 135 is the 81. I am sure you have ran it a million times.

[@TheBricelee]

Hay from laredo here..... Sorry about thr traffic... Trust me it gets worse

[@gilvasquez1317]

Whenever you ask how are we doing, I say much better since we're trucking with Schmidt 🙏
