[@danielfletcher5759]

Well been waiting , on my adventures with you and Opie , as you you can tell don’t get out much.

[@jerrysmothers715]

Never been bothered by the cops for tint,,,, hope that turns out to be a none issue for Sara,,,,, some cops expressly if they are new like to flex their authority!!!! Good luck with that!!!! Keep on rolling safe and sound with Opie!!!! God bless!!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@michellejaquez8809]

Awesome video once again.

[@jime4507]

Essential that place closed years ago,I used to that way and it was closed a few years ago,it’s in the west side just north of Concordia

[@DonRRicks]

My bride of 49.5 years has never met a curb whose challenge she won’t accept. She is he…heck on aluminum wheels.😊

[@mellsterr6192]

I never understood why people think they need to park on the sidewalk!

[@Unduplicatable]

@@mellsterr6192cause most sidewalks are inactive most of the time 😂 I agree though; there are much better places to park.

[@user-gk1lo9pw8r]

Hello from Concordia Clyde area

[@richardeckert6130]

That station just opened a couple yrs ago and after being closed for a while and now a Casey's bummer be safe.

[@tommyduran6785]

Kurt thanks for the video I enjoyed the content well I don't understand why they are messing with people with tinted windows if the people can put it on a vehicle than it's should be no problem. The cops need to stop pulling people over for that window tint excuse and find a different job.Well glad you made it to the drop safely so until the next one be careful

[@annschmidt9699]

Oh, tread lightlySarah might watch someday!

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Oh im doughting that day will ever happen momma

[@kennethroberts563]

Kirk. I am a bit late on this. but I thought that I would say this you said in a few videos ago that one of your favorite stops quit serving biscuit and gravy at a certain time. if you have a Hardes close stop an try their biscuits and gravy and a sausage biscuit you will love them for sure keep on trucking be safe my friend.

[@kenflodstrom]

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you Ken

Wardens gonna give you a black eye when she see this video😂😂😂

[@mikebonnett7730]

[@boomergirlable]

Wow! Nice shot of the Eagle....Thanks for the ride along. I needed to get out & about...😂 That was some thick fog. Prayers to you all. ✌️❤️ from Ogden IA. Prayers to Perry IA. Pam

[@timmcdermottgetgf2250]

Hi Kurt and Opie

[@daviddavis6855]

Down here in Kentucky Casey bought a bunch of convenient stores also some in Tennessee too! I think something like 79 stores in one purchase. It was a big deal.🤔

[@grindpivot5165]

I love OPIE

[@polockdan1]

👍✌

[@FJB.2024.USA.]

When I have a hard day at work, I look forward to watching a Trucking With Opie video and his copilot Kurt. So until the next video. ✌🏾

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

You're going to find out how not funny if she watches this video. Thanks for the ride. Kansas has some nice scenery. God bless.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Luckily she doesn't watch them lol.

RIP to the Coconut 🥥 Cream 🥧 Pie......🫡

[@scottlambert2949]

Drive safe out there and see you next time

[@bradyhammer1910]

Iowa does NOT allow prescriptions for tinted windows any longer. If you have one previously written you are grandfathered into keeping it but a doctor is not allowed to write a new prescription for window tint in the state of Iowa. I live in Iowa and all my vehicles are tinted as well and I tried to get a prescription and they aren’t allowed to write them anymore.

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Coldest morning in the adirondacks 0 this am

[@millie8043]

Great shot of the eagle!

[@sandyg9228]

Thanks for giving me a glimpse of the old “home place” as you headed south on Dakota Ave.

[@dashhoundlover2837]

HEY KURT GREAT VIDEO I KNOW IN FL THE MOM & POPS ARE MOSTY GONE SO STINKING SAD !! DANG THE FOG WOW ! NICE RIDE TO DAY ! AS ALL WAYS BE SAFE GOD BLESS 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🙏

[@ronaldbeatty9423]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️

[@whitetailfox1]

The MO scales will test your tint best to roll your windows down rolling through there

[@charliemike7474]

hey !!! nice 1... yeah PD... could of used better discretion , however that tint gives them probable cause so when they are on hunt and THEY see the tint they going to pull ya... Small town policing come now !!!! ....Get the Rx.

[@ShouldersMoondog549]

it's hard to think that Casey's has grown so much, My first contact with Casey's was in 86 in Kearney, Mo, just north of Kansas City,MO. 10 cent small coffee and 50 cents for a qt thermos. Sorry to see you favorite pie place to switch!! Enjoy the windshield views and the sound of the diesel cruising down the highway!! Stay safe!!

[@toddvaughan3709]

I miss the Mom and Pop truck stops

[@denniscunningham7021]

You're a cool operator, Schmidt !

[@steveburlo8010]

Kurt call your family and show them love especially on this day. In Iowa especially what happened in Perry, Iowa at high school

[@adambennett2176]

Alright!!!!

[@airwolf3385]

I will always pick the mom and pops truck stop, don't look much but it's just more homey. All the new drivers like the big chains truck stops and door dash. If you get pulled over by a cop just do what I do, row windows down and turn on the dome light to make them feel safer approaching the vehicle. God bless and stay safe

[@huskerboy3471]

❤

[@mttrucking725]

Sad to hear losing a truck stop. Usually tried to time that place for my overnight if happen to be coming through the area. Quiet little out of the way spot didn't have to worry about the type of drivers pulling in next to you. Plus good food.

[@terrywatson9128]

Nothing like the older mom and pop truck stops. Sad to see them dwindling.

[@owenallen5609]

[@hereintranzit]

@@terrywatson9128​​⁠dude, the old time mom&pop truck stops with full service fuel island and the “greasy spoon restaurants” you haller at on the CB radio from a few miles out and they had your freshly cooked to order meal and a cup of hot coffee already on the table by the time you walked in the door, well, those have been gone extinct sometime in the early to mid 1990s. They knew you by your CB handle and your first name too after a few times of stoping there. Trucking these days is nothing but pure punishment. A prison on wheels where you’re electronically surveyed 24/7/365! Nothing much of it left other than starring out through the windshield day in and day out. Everything else that put the fun in trucking is dead and buried. It’s fk’n Orwellian !

[@krazikofiman]

So glad you dropped the music. Very comforting to hear the big Cat bellow out down the road.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

All 50 states have window tint laws and they vary. Iowa and 7 other states are the most stringent.

[@staceydain2290]

I see them quite often in Nebraska. In fact, the last time I went through I think there was four of them that I saw hanging out on powerline poles sun.

[@rickylong2768]

Casey's is stil family owned

[@stevenb132tsb]

Happy New Year, l guess getting that good pie that small truck stop has will be history once Casey's comes in.

[@maxihaugh1267]

Kurt, Coconut cream pie is delightful. So sorry that is going away for you. You always have to have a great pie break place. Stay safe driver. Just placed my order for your 2024 Special edition calendar.

[@amycovey6595]

I fully understand the Mom and Pop stops rant! I stopped in Breezewood, PA at the TA for dinner and was severely disappointed to find the to go gateway express food closed. You are now left with Arby's, Dunkin, or Baskin Robbins for food choices. Mind you they had an actual sit down restaurant back before they remodeled it. One less place to bother with stopping for is really sad especially when they had GOOD food, I will keep my fingers crossed that Bob Evans stays open! Have a great night!

[@mellsterr6192]

OMG! I remember the Breezewood truck stop while riding with my Dad!

[@JohnnyTruckerUSA]

Good job👍

[@RSETtruth]

Casey's is largest American wholly owned convenience store chain, one of 2 fortune 500 companies from Iowa. 7-11 and circle k larger, not American owned.

[@elijames3041]

Be careful Kurt

[@Truthandlight77]

Makes me want to move back home and open a mom and pop truck stop.

[@rhett5914]

I live in Texas tint is pretty much mandatory (heat rejection, ceramic film). I hate cops that pull people over for tint and you see that their cruiser has the darkest tint possible. Above the Law

[@mattsmith2739]

David actually beats goliath witch is probably true we need more davids around

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

Once again I was in Ellsworth when you went through. But I was down town. One of these days I will catch it right. Be safe and I don’t remember if I told you and yours have a happy and blessed new year.

[@user-dj3yn1yj6p]

@0:26 "Not funny?" Answer? Yes, hilarious! Lol.

[@1208bug]

The eagle in flight is cool, I hope you don't run into Uncle Sam hitchhiking 😊

[@garykocker5785]

So as a old schooler right out of high school way back in 1981. Now turned highway worker I miss going in and getting a order of B&Gs or a ham and cheese omelet. Thanks Kurt.

[@jamesdaniels3699]

You should record just the sound of the truck engine like those calming Blu Ray,you could make a million 😂 Because I tend fall asleep listening to the engine 🚒😊 Late at night 😌😴

[@kevinludlum]

Hey Kurt, It's great to see videos of all my stomping grounds, Great Bend, Larned and Ellsworth. I just wanted to let you know if you come back through this way between now and August, the bridge just north of Ellsworth at the curve is closed on 156 for construction. Detour from the north at 111 to 140 to 156. Safe travels.

[@user-bh3bz3hv4g]

Try a Casey's pie in a box.

[@johncarter6276]

I’m here in central Kentucky and the Casey’s stores have bought up everything never even heard of them till six months ago

[@dannyfreeman4358]

I hope the owner made a ton of money from Casey's such a nice person

[@mnbikeradventures]

Your comment about tinted windows is spot on. Have been pulled over twice for my windows being tinted too dark and both times they were MN State Troopers. Once was in my Jeep Unlimited. I can kind of understand that one as I had tint that would only allow 20% of the light through. The other time was in my pickup. The tint on those windows is 35%. Both time were warnings, not actual fines.

[@mikep1646]

Hey Kurt, Hit the Jake Brake a little more..Please Hug Opie for me...

[@1911MikeinOregon]

In Oregon, the cops don't typically bother people for tinted windows, however, some do use it as a PC excuse to pull people over and see if anything else is going on.... Back in 2019 I bought an almost new GMC crew cab pickup, and the original owner had the side windows tinted with really dark ceramic tint. You could barely see in from the outside. They were great during the daytime. The really helped with the sun, and being ceramic, they blocked out almost all of the heat if the sun was hitting the side of the pickup. It made a huge difference. The problem was at night I could barely see anything out of them, and it made it a little difficult to see when I was turning.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

We're not in Kansas anymore Toto. 😅

[@modernscholar02]

Just have the warden post the funeral so we know the vids are over 😂

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Lol I will do.

[@DonRRicks]

Here’s hoping you have at least one more calendar left. Just pulled the trigger on one and a pocket t. Late Christmas present for my bride. If you don’t see me around, I guess she pulled a trigger of her own😊

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Opie loves his Dad. :)

[@TA.Davisoutdoors]

Schmidt, did your son get to video his Deer Hunt ? Gun Season and either sex opened Oct21,23 thru Jan14,24 here in NE Georgia . I enjoy your videos, and the German. Wishing you Safe travels in 2024. Tommy.

I'd rather go to the ma pa places. Allways support local.

[@25jameshmac]

Lol🥸 ugh!! Is that your lens or my screen? Lol

[@the.porter.productions]

O-H-I-O Porters shout Happy New Year 2024 🇺🇸 Tinted windows : I love them, but many cops/troopers I know don’t exactly like them for safety issues. I do NOT like the black windows though! Every town,district,state has different laws on tinting. How silly! Truck stops : I love the old Ma & Pa diners & truck stops! There are NOT many of them left in Ohio,Kentucky & WV as far as I know. I always look for them when I’m out traveling. Like someone said, if you see a place filled with trucks then you know where there’s good food! I’m sorry to hear that he’s selling out to the MAN! What a shame! Hope that you get some pics of the place now & later to show the differences. Hint, hint! Trust me on that one! Blessings! 🥰😎✌️

[@dailyxetai3s]

dailyxetai3s Hello Morning Wishing all drivers good health, peace and happiness

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Sorry about the pie AND the fog. We had a job hauling sand from a railhead to concrete plants building a pumped storage outfit from foothills up here in the hills. The biggest waterfalls east of the big river is right beside the road and about 3 p.m. on a sunny day the fog rolls in so you might be able to see 10 or 15 feet in front of you BUT you are pulling some good grades so you're going slow BUT you wonder if someone is in a hurry and wants to park underneath you or try and shove you on up the road. So remain calm. I can't see through tints. Worn out eyes. God Bless All Yall!.

[@dashhoundlover2837]

ALL MY STUFF IS TENTED DANG NEAR LEMO IM IN FL NOW ! IN NC THEY WILL PULL YOU OVER !

[@floydsimpson7526]

Then you get buckets and they put up signs. Nok w 900

[@richdouglas8969]

There are lots of gourmet, homemade coconut cream pie recipes. It's not real compli.

[@PhilipWilson-oi2ku]

To start off love my wife takes good care of me. She had a bad day at work talking nonstop for 20 minutes thank God for curt and earbuds.

[@waynehammerton5698]

Take care of yourselves won't you Kurt and Opie catch up with you all soon

[@SG-ze9no]

We all know how it’s going to go with that pie 🥧 😂 Stay safe and watch out for inexperienced drivers

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

Big Corporations ya gotta love em NOT. Kurt I enjoy the ma and pa stops, there's a Wendys in our town and has gone ta crap my wife and I stopped for a salad the worst I ever had. 🇺🇸👍

[@Retread2006]

Opie, I was just eating a Turkey Lunchable. Would you ask your Dad if the loads of Turkey Livers he delivers to Topeka is the same plant he loads those Lunchables at ?

[@farrellmorgan4916]

I hate seeing mom and pops going away but Casey’s is still a small operation compared to most. Especially in the truck stop side. Could be a lot worse to go in than Casey’s.

[@maggieward1892]

That’s a shame about the mom pop place. They are by far the nicest and great food if sit down places while on the road and for truckers. It’s also too bad because a bit of marketing creativity plus signage and a website may have been enough to keep them in business if they really wanted to. Like a loyalty program thermos fill up with x$ purchase. The website could have included menu pics and customer reviews. Putting up a bit of signage lighted todays special then of course word of mouth may have recouped any additional investment. Should a big firm moved in across the street. The new drivers would have gone to the Wendy’s or those in a hurry get n go but drivers in the know experienced would have kept coming in. You could always learn how to make coconut cream pie it ain’t that hard. The meringue browned top is hardest part. 😃

[@teresareed5597]

Ohhh - I started typing before I knew ‘the rest of the story’. So sorry you’re losing your pie source. 😢😢

[@terrywatson9128]

From a defensive driving stance, I don't care for the tinted windows and for this one reason. You aren't able to make eye contact or at least see if the oncoming driver is looking in your direction. I have never driven behind tinted windows so I haven't an opinion on eye fatigue but I'll take your word for it. My Ford truck has privacy windows on the rear windows and it's OK with me.

[@kennethives2517]

How did you get the bars in your radiator to stop moving around?

[@user-dj3yn1yj6p]

On the window tint deal, I can understand why many law enforcement agencies are forced to make window tint part of their normal observations, given that fact that so many idiots are tinting their windshields (dumb), and front row windows so dark that it poses a threat to themselves and other drivers because it impairs their vision, especially at night. I as well have been tinting my front driver and passenger front windows for decades, but I follow the law when it comes to how dark they are allowed to be. I just bought a used pickup in Texas, and told the salesman the front door windows were too dark and illegal. He assured me they "passed the inspection". I told him it was a safety issue. The dealership ended up stripping the dark tint and replacing with legal tint before delivery.

[@karljacobson1575]

Those 3 cow wagons in the first of the video was Cadillac livestock express!!! Know the guy personally!! Ya I hate that Jay sold his tstop to Casey’s. Said he made a wad!! Won’t b worth a shit imo!! I probably won’t stop in anymore!

[@rogersawyer9265]

She also likes driving side by sides too fast when never driving one before and upsetting it,giving her husband a sore head and concussion.go figure.shes still your wife and you still love her.shes a lucky woman and you are a lucky,if not forgiving,man.haha.best scale,a closed one.lol.

[@kellykonoske91]

The problem wth daytime running lights is that your taillights arent ON unless you turn the headlights ALL the way on!

[@ederdner9609]

New Jersey is also illegal,but the state troopers r tinted so I tinted mine stupid law

[@MichaelGregg-wc2bg]

And one si

And one super cool side kick opie

[@DJPLAST2]

If he was really apologetic, you should have told him you would accept the apology if he would get you that recipe. Kurt you should know how to be a smoozer by now. LOL, stay safe!

[@parrott350]

guess he was feeling guilty about selling out. US steel recently sold out to Nippon steel, hell they all do it. The company I work for sold out to a large 'Big-Pharma' company. They all do it. Oh well, its the way they go. Enjoy your pie mr. Schmidt. Oh, I always stop and look at the Local Kenworth dealer in Richmond Virginia now : ) Best regards chuck
