This video is historic! The start of Opie the trucking dog!

[@dieannriddick3064]

Lol...seeing you surprised at 1000 subscribers in this video and knowing that now you're well over 20,000....😄😄👍👍🇨🇦 You definitely know all about supply and demand , since you produce an excellent product that is why you have reached over 20K in subscribers. Can't go wrong when you're keeping it honest and straight forward. Keep knocking it out of the park, and continue to watch the numbers climb.😁👍👍🇨🇦

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

And I'm still amazed at these numbers

[@discusmaximus]

and here it is the evening of 12/30/2024, looking at about 66.2k subscribers and growing by about 100 A DAY :) keep on trucking Hoss !

Thank you

As you're talking in your "Opie voice" he peers back at the camera for a second. I couldn't help but imagine hearing him comment "what a dork!" smiles

[@tombrianmurray6459]

Kurt I had a biker dog she used used. To go nuts when I grabbed my keys and helmet she knew there was riding to be done sadly she passed away in April but I made sure she had one last ride ❤️

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Sorry for your loss

[@RenegadeADV]

I did over 800k miles with my German Shepherd in tow, best damn companion a guy could ask for! I have a Makita 18v shop vac that is great for keeping up with the dog hair.

[@1208bug]

😊❤👍

[@trainmanj]

I just came across your channel and like you include your family. I'm in Iowa as well and like the older videos from summer! Your son should try leaving his shoes in the truck, barefoot is much better for kid's health and helps experience different surfaces more.

[@jameswilkinson4411]

I like It

[@Mr04291965]

This first video I watched had opie in it...is neat to see the day he first came along. Have about 3 months left to view and I will have the entire list complete. Has been a heck of a ride sir.

[@theshepherdfarm5154]

Rewatching some of your older videos and you said you had 926 subscribers when you started this video. Then you started taking Opie in the truck and now you have 24.7k. Proof that Opie is the real star of this channel. lol I can see the new channel name "Trucking with Opie". lol

[@courtneyhudsonfox]

I just discovered your page because I was looking for information about German Shepherds in the truck, so hello from another truck driver! But now I’m also very curious about your setup for taking videos and editing your adventures. I’m looking to do more videos of my driving experience for social media, but am clueless about how to set up. Do you use a selfie stick? Do you have mounts throughout your truck? I just got a tripod for outside shots, but thought I’d ask for your advice. :)

[@MSwain-yz4gl]

Awesome video and your boy is a natural on camera! He did an awesome job. keep up the great videos!

You’re at 1K now congrats man. Glad you take your kids on the road with you that’s how I got into trucking is by riding with my dad in his 2000 W900L just like yours but blue any chance I could. I hope you realize there is no other future for your son other than trucking now. So better teach him all you can and get ready to buy him a truck to drive for you cause it’s in his blood now. I love your videos.

HOW do you do drop&hook when you have your own DOT/MC? Don't you have to own your own trailer?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

No you can have everything to do with your truck and then just pull another person's trailer, you just need to carry cargo insurance and have insurance to cover the wagon.

I had a pure bred German Shepherd that was bred from a police dog. Very cool and great dog. This truck I am looking at, man it would be great, a Kenworth W900S and all that but yet I think the Lord is leading me into the ministry but I kind of wonder if I could use that truck in the ministry. Great looking truck. Kind of wonder how I can negotiate with owner operator companies and get the best price possible? Also what is it like out there? Are you still getting good prices on your loads?
