This Is How Interstate Pile Ups Happen // Fog vs Speed

[@donriggs5774]

Opie said , "But Dad it was a good shot. I hit the bullseye", 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@stevenhassell4258]

Its nice to see you grease the fifth wheel.

[@jamesburgin8168]

Funny how you used the word "kosher" to describe a load of pork livers. Just something that caught my attention. 😀

[@bretyoung1869]

Very interesting 🤔 Be careful Brother ....🇺🇲 Opie is a good boy too 🥰

[@KevinLowery]

Them old Caterpillars need a belly tarp from the crossmember under the radiator to the bellhousing in order to stay warm. Wrap it from frame rail to frame rail and it keeps the wind from blowing up from the bottom.

[@tommyduran6785]

Kurt thanks for the video I was starting to get bored due to this winter storm gots me at home and all I'm doing is spending money on my rent houses replacing furnaces and tire so that my tenants can stay warm and my wife needed new tires so far that's it other than I got to go get some straw for the pets houses and some new heat lamps so until the next one be careful and stay safe out there on the highway and WARM

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Ya this cold weather gets pretty spendy. Hope it all gets better for ya.

[@mickkostiw589]

Thank you for the video. Mick

[@davelarson5672]

He did see the palm trees and he showed his palm tree tattoo.

[@nickydel8506]

I love places like starting 5:07 I'll probably never get to see myself in person and they're tucked away towns that are all of us in some way, no matter where we come from

[@stevenrobinson2381]

Just like I-35 north of KC-up & down them hills. Almost all the way to Des Moines.

[@PomerleauL]

You are the smoothest driver i have ever seen. WOW

[@karlsborgwi.jewell9919]

Just remember, Kurt buys the fuel and the parts …o/o

[@stevespriggs3302]

Stay safe and I hope this colder weather is not to hard on Opie. My grandfather had a German dog named Shep, I remember colder weather was hard on him. Stay safe and hello to Uber Dad and race car driver mom. Enjoy the new year.

[@franka8377]

Trucker Josh sure did enjoy the palm trees. He even went as far as hugging them. He even mentioned you in that video Kurt.

[@scottycollins1829]

Stay WARM & SAFE TRAVELS

[@ac2fv]

Speed is a factor in pileups, but I also feel that too many truckers have no radio or have turned them off. Radios are a safety tool... you rarely heard about huge pileups back when drivers used radios.

[@SylviaReynolds-i3z]

You and Opie stay safe.

[@adambennett2176]

Yes sir!!!! I made it too greater Chicago area!!!!! Barf!!!! -9 degrees right now!!!! Berrrr

[@julielumsden5184]

The trees and bushes along side the road with the stream running through was stunningly beautiful

[@gregthompson995]

That’s some fog! Looks like California Central Valley toole fog. Be safe and watch for the winter storms heading your way.

[@RobertSchied-b6w]

Safe travels

[@joecovington789]

Another awesome video. Your channel grows more and more everyday. You and Opie stay safe out there!

[@MikeInBendOregon]

Talkin about the trucks driving fast in less than ideal conditions brought back a memory from quite a few years ago. I was heading east on I-90 in Washington, heading to Spokane. It was night time and there was a lot of snow and ice. I was loaded and running 35-40. I heard some guys on the CB talking about a large car heading East that was flyin. Pretty soon I saw all of the lights coming up behind me and then he passed me. He was probably running 65-70 and I couldn't see anything after he went by me. I told him what I thought about his driving and his comment was, you drive yours and I'll drive mine. Well, we didn't get far down the road and all I saw was a huge cloud of snow, and all of the pretty lights disappeared. Super trucker lost control of his wagon and went into the median between east and west I-90. Fortunately he didn't take anyone else out.

[@grande1184]

How many damn pigs does it take to get 42K # of liver. Blows me away. Happy trucking

[@denisryle6410]

Back in the 80’s I worked for a food distributor out of suburban Chicago. Every Thursday night 2 / 4 trucks went to Spartan foods warehouse in Grand Rapids Michigan. Nobody wanted to go there you take 94 to 196 that runs along lake Michigan. In spring bad fog fall bad fog and freezing rain. Winter was the worst so much lake effect snow . This was a dark highway only one rest area . I remember so many times we pulled off fog was so bad . Freezing rain and so much lake effect snow . This was one miserable highway.

[@Al_Nunnery]

Some people just won't slow down in Fog 🌥 Snow 🌨 Ice ❄ or bad. weather . I was hit head on up on Jellico Mtn New Yrs Eve 98/99 buy teenagers that was running a hundred miles an hour in snow ice and fog. Trooper clocked them at over 💯mph when they left the highway and then Flew Over the cop car and then I was at 15 miles an hour on impact that was at 87.6. bedridden for a year. Lesson always watch out for the unexpected

[@joeprocopio494]

Right Kurt to fast for conditions man visiblity was bad nice drivin bud be careful Kurt see ya next time!! Ice ice baby liked it !😅

[@beckibell3232]

can always tell who owns (and has to pay the repair bills) his own truck by how he glides through the gears w/o ever hitting the governor. fun to watch your vids. this is dave, not becki btw..

[@karlsborgwi.jewell9919]

Yep and you can tell who buys the fuel

[@RuthP1969]

I just found Trucker Josh and I really enjoyed his trip from Canada to the Texas border and back again.

[@dashhoundlover2837]

GOOD MORNING FROM FL KURT GREAT VIDEO AGREE IN FOG GOT TO BE SUPER CAREFUL BEAUTIFUL RIDE ! BE BLESSED BE SAFE ! 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾

[@brittboyette461]

Yesterday there was a truck vs. car accident on I 57 southbound 29 north of Effingham IL. Car was smashed flat from the rear bumper to just behind the driver's seat. The truck and trailer were on it's side. Road was closed for about 2 1/2 hours but the conditions were clear, accidents just seem to happen sometimes.

[@skippyjones4195]

Hey Kurt I see your boy still has your head lamp hahaha have a great day 💪🏻👍✌️❤️🙏🏻☮️

[@burtcampbell1452]

You got that right about the food in the Laredo area- FANTASTIC

[@joeprocopio494]

Kurt did Opie say "hey dad check it out liftin my leg"😅

[@johnhatt1219]

All hail to king opine

[@ForgetmenotAK1]

@TruckingWithSchmidt thanks for the video. I just subscribed. My bf is a trucker and he’s in Nebraska tonight. He said I saw a sign where it said the highway was closed. He said it wasn’t. It was I80. I think it was several days ago when they closed the highway to empty’s and tandems. Anyways, he’s at a rest stop for the night. Love your dog. Stay safe out there.

[@janebeuten6071]

Prayers for safe travels Kurt and Opie ❤🙏🏻

[@CheeseheadMedia]

On the railroad we have a rule that basically states that you must stop within 1/2 your range of vision not exceeding 20mph. I can guarantee you that those trucks passing you would not be able to stop within their full range of vision let alone 1/2.

[@1208bug]

Thanks for the ride Kurt!

[@ernestineromero229]

I watch Trucker Josh now I started watching you…Be Safe from Denver..

[@stevevanwagoner4210]

Kurt we are negative 9 degrees down here in Topeka Kansas

[@brianburge3349]

THANKS STAY SAFE.

[@adamfischer2735]

They seem to be more often and happening regularly in winter than years ago. More trucks, more automatics, more bad drivers. Be safe!

[@cecilhoak7909]

Automatic has nothing to do with it it's this bad drivers that can't drive in the snow and fog

[@AndThen42]

Never listen to this episode while on edibles, it’s scary, watch it Bud! 🔥

[@peteengard9966]

Sporting that smooth side. That trailer screams for some graphics.

[@robingrussling3978]

Love your vlogs. I also love watching Trucker Josh. Lets not forget Super Trucking Dan.

[@buddywicket5544]

Love the videos but I got a question for you instead of turning the radio off why don’t you turn the RF gain down so you won’t have to hear the noise from far away ( spider box) and you can still hear if the road has problems a mile ahead. Please keep the videos coming and stay safe

[@MrDlc1969]

the furniture is put in at the smuf factory !! i delivered there in 91 weird but great service even close to a Mennonite Barn build !

When I stop for a bathroom break with hand dryers I tend to use my shirt because germs are there 😮. Then gloves back on...Take Care Prayers ✌️❤️ to all.

[@travisstoneking4049]

I truly believe I could do ten over the speed limit and someone would still try and pass me everybody is always in a hurry to go nowhere lol.

[@ronnieterry4916]

The cold water in the rest area bath rooms well that is too perk you up before going back to driving. Too many drivers of small vehicles and heavy trucks just don't allow them selves enough following distance. Following distance is the best insurance for avoiding a pile up. Especially where you will run into the vehicle that you are following.

[@ronnieterry4916]

@Trucking-With-Schmidt01 OK on the discussion. Which platform would you prefer for our discussion?

Sorry that I have not been commenting. My husband gets up @ 3am to go to work, so he goes to bed earlier than your videos.. anyway we will catch back up soon… I will write more after I watch it..🫢😬

Oh yes if the speed limit is 60 you must drive 70 and if it's 70 you must drive 80 just the rules of the road

I used to say. Drive like hell. You'll get there quicker. Fog and freezing rain are my enemy. I'd rather drive through a blizzard.

A lot of drivers overdrive their field of vision. Kurt what becomes of 42,000 lbs of hog livers? Also last week you had pigs ears. What happens to those?

Boy, I tell ya, the other day, I had to go but knew I wasn't gonna make it to the truck stop so I had to drop a pile on an entrance ramp. Thankfully, it was night so nobody could see me wiping my butt. It's all good. 😜
