Ep570, Trucking Underground And Tornado Sirens // Crazy Day

[@lauraalice9081]

never even knew about caves like this till now but this would be a great idea for them to do on the interstates in tornado country to protect all who is driving

[@alangee79010]

Those underground places in Missouri are a trip.

[@David_Richard_241]

I must admit that would have freaked me out delivering in there. That would have been a white knuckle ride for me.

[@arllysaltenbach5062]

THAT CAVE YOU JUST DID SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. NEVER WOULD I DO THAT...

[@kirktitgen7453]

Mr beep beep has a nice shiny new kenworth ...i like it

[@NunyaBusiness-o5v]

I. Was ìn those caves in the ĺate 90s it was an eye opener

[@peter1256]

Hi Kurt that underground stop was very strange to an Aussie. The way you go out of your way to explain the layout of stuff I do enjoy ty. Take care stay safe 🇦🇺🏺⛽👍⛟😎

[@gord2358]

Glad to see you get out of there. Just watching made me feel claustrophobic

[@Twister-10228]

The Space Center underground storage In Kansas City has the US National Archives stored there, old movies and films are stored there with documents cause is mostly dry place low humidity naturally. You can find US National Archives towards the entrance. Crazy tornados and stormy weather that time of the year in the Midwest. Glad you keep the rubber on the road and got home safely.

[@bobdavolt456]

This is the episode I discovered your channel. Guess I've been watching for 9 months now.

[@sunnyray2048]

🍭SWEET🍭With all that dust, First Class must have gotten a royal mud bath, yuk! Thank goodness for Blue Beacons! God Bless You🙏🏼

[@Ronald-t4x]

Underground in the caves east of 435 and east 210 highway south of world's of fun. used to drive over the road and delivered to those same caves on a dedicated run.

[@TheLoneWolf276]

Haha that's awesome Dad still gotta take care of his son no matter how old you are! My Great Grandfather raised me and past away back in 2020 but even in my mid to upper 20s he would call my phone and check up on me lol I sure do miss it

[@ladypski]

Well, Opie looks just fine now that you are back home. Bless his heart.

[@chrishelms1967]

Well between the caves and the wind....... They at least kept you cooler 😎

[@JamesFligger-sf9me]

I been to the caves a few times the first time was nerve racking being that tight to the walls of the thing and those pillars were crazy

[@Trucker_Kyle717]

You can definitely tell a big difference with the LED headlights in this cave from your past cave deliveries

[@Steve-Slacker-Philipson]

What an amazing experience. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Your eyes and head shake at the start cracks me up

[@RobertValinsky]

That cave that you were in is incredible!!! I never knew that anything like that existed in Kansas City. For a minute I thought that it was an underground salt mine. If I lived there I would want to work in that cave. I would feel safe from tornadoes. That is good that the temp stays at 65 degrees.

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

Ummmm........OK. Well that was an adventure. Claustrophobia, beep beeps, and tornadoes. Never a dull moment. Safe travels and God bless.

[@dangregg3189]

I'm glad you and your dad made it home to be with your family. That looked pretty rough. Hi Opie and Jax.

[@kirktitgen7453]

The caves are totally wild ....never saw anything like it 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

[@0474tk]

I never knew anything like this existed. Amazing!!!

[@jerrymay3806]

Before I retired, I'd been in and out of 3 or 4 caves in kc and one outside of kc. I was told that those caves were created and used by our military for the storage of munitions back around d the years of ww1 and ww2. I'd been told that by many sources so I assume it was true. You run around many of the same places I've been. And love yr Shepard! And yr vids.take care

[@r.b5264]

Stay safe you and your family thanks for the ride with you

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

i had 2 long days myself, rented a cargo van and drove 1867 miles all within Texas in 38 hours so no KZbin . come back and only see Opie 8 minutes combined in 2 vlogs duuuude !!!!! LOL . glad everything and everyone is fine tho , those Tornados can be brutal

[@briandufty5081]

Triple thumbs up. Cat. Mew.

[@bjmichelle6272]

The geology in Kansas City just lended itself to this," said Mark Martin, property manager at Parkville Commercial Underground. During the Ice Age, continental glaciers advanced into northeast Kansas and northern Missouri, shaping the bluffs that contained two kinds of limestone: Bethany Falls and Argentine. Being a softer rock, thick limestone beds were heavily mined and provided vital sources of paving and building materials. And it was relatively inexpensive to dig into from the base of a bluff. Most mining in these parts was horizontal, not vertical, leaving behind vast openings that people and vehicles could enter without descending a deep shaft.

[@charleshudson1680]

OMG that place was tight !!! Some of the other ones I've been to are way better than that got way more room. Thanks for the video

[@barryklinedinst6233]

People don't understand the danger that we put ourselves in out on the road. I'm glad you showing that side of trucking

[@hawkeyejohnny968]

The USPS has their stamp distribution center in the underground caves in Kansas City. If I remember the addresses in the caves are laid out by Pillars.

[@angryyank]

Yes the person was correct Kurt... The vast majority of what cameout of that old mine was rock for construction projects all around Kansas City... When the big construction boom of late 50's all the way to the mid 80's, A ton of mines was dugout for stone & others for salt... After the mines was used up.. They sat there abandoned... Companies bought them and retrofitted them in late 90's ish? to make them into cold storage bays .... Those old mines will always stay at a constant temperature inside regardless how hot or cold it gets outside....

[@larrywright5024]

i would like to see more of your cave videos if I can 😊,and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen the humidly on a truck leaving a😂cave😂

[@the.porter.productions]

Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 A good daddy ALWAYS tries to protect his kids, no matter how old you are!!!! 🥰 That’s Love, Dedication, Respect, Teamwork in the fiercest good sense! 🧐 They’re quick to be on their knees to pray for you, Quick to pick you up, Quick to cover your back & Quick to pick up arms in your defense! That’s A Fact, Kurt! 🧐 That’s how I feel about my family!!! 🥰 Be thankful for what you got & what you are. That underground trip was so radically cool! Be glad that you weren’t in a cabover.😳 I would love to do a delivery or pickup like that at least once! And it wasn’t crowded! Well, on the inside anyway. So the ac went out? Bummer! 😵‍💫 The backroad out of the underground was pretty cool & scenic. Love those backroads! 🥰 Glad you made it home & that it’s ok now! I’ve missed a couple of your videos since I’ve been getting new tires for my truck, getting it ready for a trip & attending school stuff. We’re getting there. Take care my friend! 🥰🤩✌️

[@David_Richard_241]

My comment has nothing to do with trucking in caves (which would have really freaked me out). Yesterday I stopped at my local DG to get milk for my Mom. There was a troubled young man at the counter ahead of me getting some essentials and was 50 cents short. I just happened to have some change and gave it to him. Sometimes all it takes to have a moment is two quarters in your pocket. Kurt, I think this speaks to you previous videos regarding talking to those who have served and guys like us who have not, and feeling pain for the folks in your neighboring area that had the tornado damage. Empathy is a double-edged sword. It's a good quality to have, but at the same time it can really sting. (sorry about the rambling. sometimes this old-timer CAN go on.)

[@jenniferestep798]

Wow that was scary….first time for me seeing something like that😂

[@lindahollister5530]

What is this underground building? Looks like a big bunker, something out of this world!!!!!😂😂😂😂. Is it really a cave? I had no idea these were anywhere.😮😮😮. Thank you for an amazing video. Tornado and all!!!!!

[@dennismcguire2392]

backup horns are required on jobsites with moving heavy equipment. Every coal hauler across the country has them, I'm a former coalminer and used to them. Love hearing a turbo or jake

[@damkayaker]

I have to say those back up alarms have a purpose. When I was still in high school I worked as a lumper at a produce warehouse (Pathmark Supermarket) One day our boss and foreman came running down the dock telling us all to get off the dock and go to the break room. One of the Pathmark checkers was outside standing by an open bay door by the dock plate and did not hear a trailer backing into that door. He was crushed and died a soon as the truck pulled forwards after the driver was told someone was pinned. It was horrible. My boss saw him die. 😥

[@paulricher5547]

You need some (4) Tie downs on that RV TRLR just insurance for the winds.

[@bjmichelle6272]

Ford motor company use to store cars down there in the 50s 60s 70s 80s

[@kittykat999a]

I’ve been in the ones at Carthage MO many times.

[@robpelton7559]

When I was in those caves the receiver told me they were old gypsum mines.

[@thefourhorsemen1128]

I'm back to watching your videos

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

We have truck at work with beeper that sounds like a wounded duck. 12 years and that thing still works! UGH

[@rogersawyer9265]

Used to do the caves,both in Kansas and Missouri.cant say that I liked them but didn't have any trouble getting in or out but sure was glad when I exited them.be safe and safe travels.get your ac fixed so Opie can go along.miss seeing the furry critter.

[@susied-tipsandthrifts2089]

Missing your companion is to be expected! And Omg, I don't know if I could do that underground. Never seen anything like that before!

[@cynthiawilliams4723]

Glad you’re safe

[@kirktitgen7453]

Holy crap im lost in there ....good thing you know where you're going 🤔🤔😆😆😆😆

[@paulson6270]

Wow I'd love to be able to go inside those... Another great video! Wonder how many miles of underground Missouri has??

[@wvcoalminer8354]

I have worked 24 yrs underground only 48" of height though not enough room for first class😄

[@hackfabrication139]

I delivered a few loads down to the caves in southwest Missouri when I was an O/O. A number of them came out of Quicey, MI (Echrich), and one out of Horseheads, NY (cheese). Spooky.

[@colinarcher9943]

Beep beep again but I'm a beeper too so one day we may running to you and my beep beep would be on lol

[@jeffreysnyder4994]

You saw Daddy you got Opie your doing pretty good... lost both of mine 😢

[@sptraxide]

Springfield Underground is a TOTALLY different place. They aren't connected!

[@PriestOfAuril]

Yeah them caves are more than a bit dodgy, that dust is certainly from the ceiling aswell as diesel fuel, ceiling was cracked in a few and freshly treated, also couple of areas where the pillars were damaged and the concrete shoring them up (especially the one that had popped!) don't inspire my confidence! Glad you got back to the family safe! Opie will be glad when he's back shotgun instead of stressing back 'home' I really hope I get chance to move out to the US and get a few years trucking before it all goes to hell and get to chase tornado's (yes i'm one of those) Would love a FLD something about em! Keep her shiny side up Kurt and health to you and the family!

Absolutely terrifying.

[@jeffreysnyder4994]

No more caves, thanks been there done that no more....

[@danielpearson6306]

That beep beep was rude for he did not wait as you back up. He keep the brights on which blinds you. I been to many caves and one Kansas city that rails for trains used for amo during WW2. Had to blindside into the dock and most of the ceiling lights were our. Went to many in Carthage MO and one our drivers was terrified of going in. Took my trailer in and came and took his in. And Indiana a follow guided me in but leaving I got list as there wasn't directions on for the exit. At Carthage I was in a cave when a tornado hit then one time I came out and 4+inches snow. Transported many loads of cheese from Idaho.
