Just came across your channel. Nice to meet you and Opie! Opie is gorgeous!! Love your Kenworth. My dad drove a kw for many years. He retired from truck driving after 47 years. I miss road trips with him. My hubby and I both come from a line of family truck drivers.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

That's a successful thing to accomplish. 47 years in trucking. Good for him.

[@richardarguelles194]

Tummy = the bread 🍞, not the bread, God speed always on the travels and getting home safe to your family

[@jamesupton143]

I have a soft spot in my heart for GSD. Good looking dog you have there. Me and the wife have a GSD and have a running joke that we could build another dog with the hair it sheds every day. When God made GSD's he made them special. Loyal does not even begin to describe them. Stay safe.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yes they are

[@hilbertekema1451]

You are ousome. U trucking man.. A lot off love from Holland. Nederlands

[@biffsbigwheel210]

It does suck, Freight is always good in the summer (when you want to vacation) and slow in the winter (when don't want to vacation). But you know like many of us O/O, gotta take it when it's good and deal with it when it's bad. Good video! Keep them coming!

[@sandyg9228]

Opie looks happy laying in the shade at the scale/rest stop

[@joshuareis4392]

Great video man. I’d give anything to have my dogs hair all over my truck again. There’s nothing better than having your best friend with you everyday.

[@derrickstewart8814]

Just found your channel love what you do my dad was a trucker of 32 years he passed in 2014 you keep the spirit of trucking alive keep on working brother

[@bon2198]

My GSD Logan just turned 12. Best dogs EVER

[@huskersue5123]

Your such a good dad.. Love Opie..such a sweetie. Safe travels.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@garycovell2913]

Kurt Absolutely love your channel! Down to earth and comments are refreshing. Love you show so much love and respect to Opie. Beautiful dog and he doesn't seem to ride for hours. Keep an eye on his hips as he gets older.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Will do, and thank you

[@rubenayala2203]

I just love ope! Reminds me so much of my old one I had when I was kid.. They look so buetiful just can't stop admiring there build n colors. Ope is a very blessed dog to have a dad like u! 👍

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Let's hope so lol he's back in the truck this week.

[@Dominator70]

It's shedding season for sure! I'm dealing with it as well with my "Promise"

[@mresch8]

When is it not shedding season for a Shepard?

[@49120110]

Outstanding shepard! Smart lookin dog! Good job on the vids. Keep the sunny side up driver!

[@mistyharris1906]

Opie is being so good for you. What a great Dog. Listen to that motor purrrrr....

[@Mr04291965]

Birds will be happy about finding that Opie hair...excellent for nest building. Several times I have considered sharing info about a product I thought might be helpful with your desire to keep 1st Class looking spiffy. Its like a ceramic coating that ya can self apply after washing that repels dirt and water. I watch an exotic car channel who lauds having their expensive cars ceramic coated. Just lately I saw an advert about a common car care products company who now offers a solution that offers similar protection without the high dollar cost. Anyway...just sharing. Didnt state any product names because of the copyright issue concerns you mentioned.

[@James-jt4wf]

Beautifull GSD,i just got a female about 1 year ago and love her what a great breed,nice w9,new sub,be carefull out there.

[@adamtyrell4227]

Hi ya, I'm over in the UK enjoying your vlogs, it's wonderful to truck drive with the company of a four legged friend,I trucked all England and Scotland, great fun but it gets lonely sometimes, I've always had dogs Shepherds and Labradors beautiful dogs, good luck my friend and keep on truckin

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@oldguyblues]

I used to use a shop vac on my dogs you have to start with them when puppies . They love how it feels and gets the hair out no mess cools them off

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Lol. Tried it once not as pups. Didn't go good .

[@darylconde9782]

I love pbj with almost the whole container of jelly and a little bit of peanut butter

[@jeeper5264]

German Shedders are the BEST!

[@chrismuth9985]

Brushing Opi when he is wet its more fun 🤪 I had a gsd Husky X oh yes weekly brush and lots of fights with the brush

[@randyhopkins9114]

Hair today! Gone tomorrow!...😅😂🤣🤙

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@jimmiecarter3099]

Mighty fine looking dog.....the more I see your Vlogs the more I'm becoming more interested in Kenworths

[@johnkranias3458]

Opie?, i called him Obi in the last, my bad. Love peanut and jam sandwiches, so does the princess. Enjoy the camping trip and stay safe.

[@roadtrain5910]

love driving at night its keeps the truck cool only thing to think about is kangaroo emus and in the north near cattle stations in roaming cattle

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Its definitely a lot easier on a truck in the warm months.

[@jerryburdick8051]

Your approach and demeanor is really inspiring. And Opie....I'm in love. He's awesome!

[@stacyfernandes2860]

What a beautiful puppy I have a female German Sheperd

[@axiom.ai.obviousbattletank7139]

The scale is designed for one thing. Revenue collection. Run that thing. You'd be surprised how they don't chase.

[@kennethquigley1056]

Love your awesome dog keep up the good Trucking

[@newwomyn]

Pretty German Shepard. Sounds like that rig is his.

[@sherrymilhon5377]

PB and J are the best,Stay safe out there.

[@bon2198]

I thought you were doing a Vintage effect in the video then realized it was water dripping from the sleeper boot. Gotta love it!

[@truckerbugBR549]

You can probably find Opie some steps or a ramp at Camping World. They have them for campers so they may be perfect for the truck.

[@ericfld1209]

Kurt your videos are peer gold 😉😁

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@christiangraham506]

Your puppy is adorable!!!

[@brianwilliams309]

Opie what a handsome boy. DOT is some sneaky sob's. Man I don't miss the DOT. Got a pork belly on the pit some turkey wings and corn. So i will skip lunch for today

[@JoshD15020]

Greetings from Okoboji!

a ( lint brush ) will work greet on the blanket or carpet for fur removal

[@jeffreywolf8104]

I have a Belgium Malinois 8 years old. Lots of hair. Try the firmanator iits outstanding.

[@chrishelms1967]

Pretty good reflection in you hood after wash, must really shine when freshly waxed

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

It needs a goof buff.

[@ThePrinceyoung]

Used to have a gsd their great get a comb called furmanator from ebay $10 best comb for a long haired dog the glove is for short haired dogs

[@truckingmat9177]

Pet loaded steps are perfect that is what I use I have a 104 lbs pit American bulldog mix named moose

[@fifiandashleyrocks]

I love my GS as you love yours, sir. He is my best, I mean my best friend. He is always waiting for me at home every day. No matter if I’m sad, mad, he is always there. BTW his name is Guardian Say hi to my new friend! He is a nice looking companion.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Great name. And will do.

[@breeze979truckin3]

All night annoying? I been driving 38 years nighttime is the only time! Sad today's truck driver only work days hahaha that's why you can't get a parking place after 3pm. The dog is handsome by the way

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you . The problem i have running until sun up, is I dont get a lot of sleep. I find it easier parking around 11 to 2am.

[@bennybyrd2470]

Happy opie passed his cdl test and was smart enough not to go to swift lol great job on the videos

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@janellekelly2611]

A swifter duster will help pick up a lot of the dog hair off the leather seats and dash.

[@rudyvannistelrooij6150]

A raw egg a week is verry good for oppie and jax his fur ✌

[@MrWildfire4900]

What was Opie like when he first started riding in the truck? How long did it take for him to adjust?

[@tomhahn6792]

Thanks for the comment about flashing lights for a driver "thank you". I drive school bus and always thank truckers by hitting my four-ways. But not one in twenty semi-drivers thank me for letting them in. Here is a situation where we really are all in this together. So, thanks truckers.

[@fleebee3639]

There is a deshedding comb for pets called a FURminator. There are different models. I got one for my dad's chihuahua. After seeing it my sister in law tried it on her cats and bought one. They come in several styles and sizes and work great on dogs including German Shepards. The pile of loose fur you can remove is unbelievable. There are KZbin videos showing them being used.

[@edthibeault3389]

Hey Kurt call them Suicide Buggers 😄

[@rooster72886]

My service dog is a gsd and he weight is about 125pounds he a massive baby wouldnt trade him for anything

[@kaypea4874]

pretty guy, opie

[@waynemerryman3897]

So does the truck leak in rain too. It looks like quite a bit of water could potentially come in. There's got to be a way to seal that. I drove Kenworth for a few years but I'm a Peterbuilt man myself. Use to go by "Nervous Wreck" back in the day.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

No. Its just under EXTREME high pressure ghat blue beacon uses. All other washes you never see a drop. Its a week seal on my above glass.

[@warrenpuckett4203]

Besides being old, I drive like that old person. Why? Got tired of paying for broke parts coming off and new parts going back on. They just keep adding more stuff and the stuff ain't gettin cheaper. So the best thing to do is make the old rides last. Funny thing is a new Pete rides like a Cadillac. The new Cadillacs rides like an 1955 Pete.

[@johnreed4140]

A good slicker brush and 2 combs a day will almost eliminate the dog hair issue.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thats the plan

[@michaelboyle9512]

Dude I want a navigator pup. I'm working on it. Any pup in the truck advice videos will be well appreciated.

[@sascandave]

How does he do getting in and out . I am taking my 12 week old with me soon will be too big to lift in and out

[@brucesmith7858]

Opie...Opie...Opie.....never enough Opie. That is a good brush for him. He feels like you are petting him. Daddy I’m so handsome. Speaking of lunch dad I’d like my steak 🥩 medium please. That was the old days when drivers thanked cars for anything. With the new millennial drivers never happens. And last but not lease, dad I need a cool pair of sunglasses like you.

[@xsentrik1107]

I can hear them gears getting split!

[@michaelboyle9512]

The driver seems like he's doing fine with all those pb&j's, but the poor navigator seems like he's really got a tough life there...

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Lol he has a rough life.

[@mauricezurliene1892]

did you get the hose fixed on the transmission and what did the shop say when you showed them the wire?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yes, they refused to claim thier work and were not willing to fix thier screw up. So I went elsewhere. And will follow up with them when thier mangers are back from vacation.

[@kimyarbrough3194]

Good looking W9, in a different video I saw your center wooden console under the dash - where did you get it?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you, and that was in it when I bought her. They were a hot item umpteen years ago in trucks, so I'm betting they are still out there somewhere.

[@johngunning2123]

Gorgeous dogs. This is my third and I said I wouldn't have another one. Not a big fan of your diet!

[@landonwilliams2194]

How do you get mail on the road

[@Its_Melv]

I love my sandwiches with a bunch of jelly and peanut butter I don’t want to taste the bread I just use it for something to hold the peanut butter and jelly in.

[@bambambino23]

How r u getting ur GSD up and down from the truck? I been lifting mine up and doan to preserve his hips but at 100+ pounds i pull muscles in my neck and arm and back very often and it sux. I just bout a 96" ramp for $100 that folds in half. Its cool.

[@jaylam2000]

Put some nice fender on the truck

[@danielvrana9444]

Ok what happens if you get a flat on there trailer or fuel for the Refer? When you make a drop and hook do you get paid the next day? Just asking if a guy wants to get a Truck? I live in Buffalo Iowa so it was cool to see all the places bye where I live. Thanks Dan

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

The trailer is thiers. Of course I have to carry enough cargo ins and ins to cover what I pull. The tires or refer fuel comes out of thier pocket. Pay wise I get a settlement every week on the loads. Thier factoring is part of the % i give them to use thier trailers.

[@danielvrana9444]

I just became a sub. I watch Super Trucker Dan a lot of the time. I like your vids!! You and Dan have about the same attitude. Your not a teacher but I liked the alleyway back up. Showing how to get in and out I feel is a missing piece of the vids. Remember we want the experience of sitting next to you. Lol Thanks Dan

[@speedgray809]

Kurt- really look forward to each of your videos. I have a question. You shift gears slow and sure and at low rpm. Do you use the clutch or are you floating the gears? In all you videos I’ve watched, and it’s a bunch, I just can’t tell for sure. Speed Gray Grand Rapids, MI 2003 Peterbilt 379

[@mresch8]

Opie probably drives the lot lizards away....

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Lol

[@keepupwithspeedy]

I want to share a story about a german shepard my dad had when i was about little bud's age. I lived in a big house at the time and dad's dog , I won't say the dog's name, not really youtube friendly. but my dad was the only person that dog liked. he had a pen outside with a good size dog house.. any way. the house had many people in it and no one would let me rest anywhere i went. Cousin lived with us and loved to pick on me to the point of abuse at times.. Now I have always been in a wheelchair but I can crawl pretty good and one day I had enough being picked on so I crawled into the dog's pen, stared him down and crawled into his dog house and the dog just looked at me as if to say.. really? could someone get this kid out of my house so I don't have to eat him? lol After a few minutes he came in and circled around me and layed down behind me so I layed my head on his back and I slept there until way later at night when my dad found me. The dog protected me the whole time. Sorry so long. had to share that.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Darn good pup

[@Mr04291965]

Hello again Speedy... I read the whole reply and wanted to say I liked the story so went to see who the reply came from. Made my day (night actually as its 11:45 pm) to see it was you. Anyway...there is just something about this channel and our host (as non-sociable as he claims to be) that somehow draws me into feeling comfortable to share stuff that even my neighbors have no clue about. So don't apologize. He has created more than merely just another KZbin channel...this is becoming a community.

[@stevestar657]

PB&J - a good cheap meal in the truck.

Awesome video again there buddy hope he’s doing really good but as a fellow truck driver drive rolloff find end and boom truck this week I’m on vacation yesterday my F150 was hit by a driver who was texting on their phone nobody was hurt thank God I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on how you feel about that here it’s illegal majorly $3000 fine and six points on your license maybe you could talk about it if you feel like it thank you very much for your timeAnd keep up the great videos

[@quincg7546]

hello, any tips on where i can find a german shepard i want a truck buddy!

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

No sorry, I bought my boys from a local gal who raises Germans

[@bobcarter5772]

Quinc g look onto German shepherds rescues there are a lot of gs that need a job loving home and usually when you rescue a dog they somehow know that you are there saving them from the caged life and 99% of them turn out to be the most loving loyal great protectors and best friend you will ever have.

[@jameswilkinson4411]

If you think a German sheds badly, try a Saint Bernard.

how much is the average truck wash?

You should do a live chat video

[@JCA-Z]

How ya doing, i see you have a german co driver, does he mind that your truck is CAT powered, olay i'm through with the bad jokes. Mr. Schmidt i was wondering in your driving adventures if you have come across protesters blocking the streets or highways yet and about the pb&j sandwiches, golden rule if it's not dripping on your shirt and belly, then you don't have the right kind of jelly. Stay safe and stay loaded, god bless.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I haven't ran into the protests in person, I have come across the after math of vandalism tho. Pretty rough.
