The D.O.T Pulled Me In For An Inspection + Engine Heat Issues Ep473

[@jc-pj3nh]

Thanks for the truck engine sounds. That is the best part of having a cdl. I too have a bed and chair hogging dog and I too have to sit on the floor sometimes. Dogs are truly man's best friend. Keep on trucking.

[@programalateshow1750]

You’re a credit to the profession my friend. True professional. And a helluva dog “dad”. Smooth ,no rush , easy going shifting. Never hard on the truck. Not many like you left Great videos , takes me back to my days on the road. I could listen to that W900 all day long. .

[@dwainyoung542]

Thanks for you sharing your videos. I really enjoy riding along with you . God bless you and keep you safe

Good old Opie. Never a dull moment with him. Glad everything went well at scalehouse.

[@gregburgess6884]

Hey Kurt I really love the fact that you take the time to show the truck moving stuff like that it's kind of like the old school trucking movies. BTW greetings from the Great basin highway, highway 93 Nevada 🚛🇺🇸❤️

[@LT.X380]

Opie is a special pet. I had a special pet named Buckwheat. He was a 95 pound Boxer. He passed with a heart attack 3 years ago. I've not stopped missing him yet. I know the love you have for Opie. Y'all stay safe. God bless you 🙏.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Sorry to hear this

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

Anotrher great vid Kurt. You and Opie havagudun and stay safe. All you viewers please remember the Shriners Hospitals for Children this Christmas .

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@halspencer6613]

Excellent music selection, beautiful road, beautiful weather.

[@jamesfrommanitoba.1992]

Glad to hear that you had a great week. I’m so sorry to hear about the tornados in your area Kurt and the horrific loss of life. I hope you all in the area are as safe as you can be.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Luckily not in my area.

[@barryklinedinst6233]

I got my best sleep when idling. I had a hard time when I stopped running over the road. Had to take something to knock me out. Some days I miss being out there. Stay safe

[@jimgray8505]

Know you have some serious storms going through. All the best to you and the family, we’re praying for you and everyone involved!

[@xcel5]

Luv the throttle sound and opie IS a loyal dog🎅

[@scottb02]

OMGI love those two dogs! I would give them big hugs!

[@flatbedtruckingsamrides.9355]

Super dooper! I keep a photo copy of IFTA, registration, insurance, stapled and up in the visor. They see that and presents we have it together. The master copies are in the permit book I leave in the truck and tell them I can get it if they want, never had to.

[@chrisellis6832]

Hey Kurt & Opie. Glad to see those pesky tornados didn't give you a bad time, my condolences to those families who lost loved ones &/or homes and workplaces. I used to hate going through the scales mate, the a'holes over here will take the time to try to find something including any spelling mistakes in the lie book ($35 per mistake). Stay safe out there big fella, keep the shiny side up & I will see you on the next one.

[@frederickmoller]

A foot of snow and blowing crazy at the moment in Timmins ON, Canada...oh well, it's great to be a Northerner, wouldn't have it any other way!

When I would go home I.would need to have a recording of my truck idoling just so I could sleep. We had some angle dandruff here Wednesday night. Didn't last long. Now it is 61.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

There we go. I already forgot what we call snow. Thanks for the reminder

[@JasonVEliteExpedite]

Your shifting is so smooth, I’m 20, done 1 year of semi driving and that’s how I want to get my shifts

[@jc-pj3nh]

Forgot to add a scale story I had. I hauled non-ferrous metal loads on an open trailer. Never thought to weigh the loads, trusted the warehouse that loaded the truck. Pulled onto the scale . Next I heard a voice asking if I ate supper? I asked why and heard a chuckle and he read the weight. I was 79,997 pounds gross. Wow, I replied " no wonder the truck felt a little bit sluggish". He chuckled again and sent me on my way. I am always polite to those guys, they are just doing a job, just like me.

[@waltersosnowski7285]

As long as u r organized with ur paperwork then u should be ok with dot have a safe trip

[@dakotabillyone]

I drive school bus in Minnesota. The water temp in December is 170 degrees. Perfect.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

You don’t wanna get to an inspection and get peenalized. Love the Hound.looks ferocious. I love idling sleep. Where we live gots to worry about who’s pulling in the lot.Especially with meat load.

[@JD-ie8qb]

Prior ownership to the truck stop north of Concordia, Kansas was Walter's Oil. Did you ever wake up from your sleep and wander, why isn't the refer running?

[@petermunyua5072]

Hi there.i like your W900,looks amazing and the German shepherd 🐕,love from Saudia Arabia Jeddah city.

[@petedesalvo7398]

I guess they do get some of the junk trucks but I think the scales and the dot are mostly state revenue agents. I absolutely have to idle or have an apu to sleep good. Drove a Coronado glider with a Detroit 60 the owner told me to idle about 800 rpms otherwise I might wash the pistons. Loved idling that truck.

[@brianbelt7919]

Glad you guys are safe safe Missouri has hit good the the recent storms keep the shiny side up and see ya on the next one

[@the.porter.productions]

Porter greetings! Yahoo! 😎 The highway scenery was quite beautiful…then came the interstate. 😳I love backroads sometimes…all the beautiful scenery and such. 🤩 I think everyone gets a little nervous when they say, Driver, please pull in. Who wants to be detained even for 20 minutes or so for that, but they are doing their jobs, and hopefully nothing more. Well, what else did ya find out about your heat…tap on that thermostat a couple of times and see if that changes anything…oh, don’t use the big hammer! LOL! 🧐 I like your cereal…for the big kid in you!! 🤩 Stay safe and we’ll keep you in prayer, as always. Hey, I pray for you and your family every day!! If that means anything. I just wanted you to know because I don’t want you to ever be discouraged about that. That’s what friends do, ya know! Enjoy the ride!! 🥰🇺🇸✌️

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Well the engine warmed up nice with the winter front on. I will try the tap

[@garylollman5339]

I worked at (ODOT) Oregon Department of Transportation in the procurement office. We bid and installed weight in motion at our scale stations. I guest that doesn’t cover log books etc. it probably doesn’t cover what you experienced at that weight station.

[@richardeckert6130]

That truck stop was not open very long after it opened maybe couple yrs then closed hasn't been open for at least 6 or 7 yrs, I didn't realize it had opened again be safe.

[@geesss8675]

When you said sometimes when you idle your truck and you're sleeping at night you're in your own little world. Did you mean "you're in your own private Idaho" Waiting waiting waiting Did you place the 8 inch pipes on or was they already on?

[@keithpillman9158]

Scalehouse experience is varied... Depends on the State, and the person running any particular scale... If they were fighting with the wife this morning and they're in a crappy mood, it can be rough. If they are cheerful, good mood, willing to give a little slack, much better.

[@wilburvandyke3301]

I like the PURR when shifting. Smooth shifting!!!

[@keepupwithspeedy]

we had about an inch or two of snow but today the wind is so strong it took all the snow away. it was gusting up to 60 mph. wow.

That part with you pulling into the fuel island I think your step boxes would look great painted the same color as your tanks.

[@kenia7430]

All the scales I ever went across were always helpful, if the weight wasn't right was told to get it right if I could, usually just had to move some bags around, part time driver my log book was always okay, had plenty of time off :)

[@drandisol]

Hey Kurt, I noticed the number 24 next to the drinkers side hood latch. Does that stand for anything special?

[@newrider90]

Question what is your empty weight with your truck an reefer trailer? Thinking about getting a w900 my 07 379 I had with a reefer was right at 35000.

It's not the old person. it's the immature person. It's the person inside who wants the law to apply to everybody else in the world but never themselves.

Hi Opie and Kurt Fantastic video again, I don’t comment all the time, just love the way Opie looks at you, he knows every damn word you say to him. If I am in the woods with my shepherd, I never pick up if I’m of the beaten track, like you Kurt, I always pick up and bin it. Once again great video Kurt, please tell Opie he’s great in the video also. Kind regards from Scotland Johnny

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Back home was 2 inches of snow north farther over the boarder into Minnesota got more.. But we are not home..either it didn’tlook good last night

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

Those sleepers can really be nice during a gentle rain. Better to be running cool than too hot. I knew you would pass inspection. Trying to keep the roads safe. We had a patrol car hit by a semi that crossed the fog line on the interstate near me. No one hurt but I still can't understand how someone cannot see 2 patrol cars with full lights going. Went from heavy rain and thunderstorms to ice and snow within an hour here in WI. So many places didn't fair very well. Good to see you safe at home. Stay safe and God bless.

[@DonLanierPearlProAudio]

In a 6 week period I was pulled into the scales for inspections 6 times between Minnesota and Tennessee, after asking for the stickers to show I had passed, and recieving rude answers I finally got a sticker on the 6th inspection, my company paid me 300 dollars for passing all the inspections. Always kept my Logs and Binder of paperwork immaculate and orderly, the worst thing you want to do is go inside with a bag of smashed, coffee stained or torn and folded paperwork.

I'm interested in how you find your sleeping spots as compared to other truckers - you always seem to find pretty empty lots with space for Opie and all we hear about from others is how there's zero parking

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

When im in those spots I'm usually on very familiar roads. When I venture out further I'm usually surrounded by trucks.

[@jimluense1494]

Hi Kurt great video! I have a question. Why don't you take hwy 77 north to Dakota City? Cuts off miles and 1 more scale!

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I usually run around it, but the last few times going by it. It would give me the bypass

[@seccox8834]

How many miles are on that truck?

[@lesabre1972]

would you rather be in your big rig or your personal vehicle going down the road when a good rainstorm hits, with no load of consequence in the big rig? Which do you feel safer in?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

The truck feels safer on the interstate just because it's size vs other cars . Definitely feel better in the pickup on 2 lanes

[@brucekoster9253]

You got off easy Kurt. Years ago I'd come home from Denver empty.....every week....same ol' same ol' routine. We lived & ran out of Kansas, yet EVERY week...the little old ladies at the Kanorado, Ks (population 150 +/-) P.O.E. would call us in to see our paperwork.....EVERY stinkin' week! That's ridiculous! I got tired of it and mentioned how we were doing the same ol' same ol' ....every week, it's the same thing, yet EVERY week they'd call me in. I'd ask "What is the problem??" She said "young man we're just doing our job! We see hundreds of trucks every day...we can't remember everyone'' It wasn't long before they got just as tired of me, as I was of them. Soon I started getting the green light......they never pulled me in after that.

[@timatwell3728]

Wow 1 time in three years I've been checked 3 times in one day 1 near shop in Va. then at the bullsgap on interstate 81 in TN. asked if he would like to see the paperwork from Va dot he laughed so I said well be sure you call Knoxville scale house tell them I'm coming that way I be dam--- they pulled me in and checked me again so that made 3 times in about 4 hours so now I just go around them so I don't get checked had headlight out but fixed it before the second and third check it's just the hour some of them take to craw under to check everything but like you said they have a job to do which sometimes if I can't get the boss to fix something I will go out of my way to get checked that way I no after I get a ticket it will be fixed but stay safe and keep the video's coming

1995 Ky scales south of Evansville In. Got pulled in there and one guy was freaking out later. DOT cop looked at me, asked if they had hurt me in any way. I laughed and told them nope just being the $#%& your paid to be. I kid you not that other guy was about to have a heart attack. Because he got called in. I did get a ticket that day. But it was on the Company. That other guy got shut down. Towed away as I was leaving. Not sure what he did or had on the truck. But his day was for sure a bad one.

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Great video. Why do you see some trucks pass weigh stations? Nothing to worry about when you have the documents up to date. Peace

[@Neverdie242]

Some companies have a Pre-Pass in the trucks. If you get the green light you just keep on going. I think the states charge you about a dollar for each time you don't have to stop.
