When you start talking like Fred Flintstone, singing Christmas songs and telling your truck to climb, you need sleeper time.

[@docachna]

That was your guardian angel whispering in your ear that you needed to check the reefer ! Learn to listen to your gut. It’s not an accident and it’s not coincidence.

[@rogersawyer9265]

Love how Opie is peeking into the camera.

[@daveoneill332]

My wife has epilepsy and had a seizure earlier so we sat on the couch and started watching your channel. I knew she was fully awake when she was looking at the tv and said, “Opie”. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas And Opie,Jax, and mom and Uber dad.

[@jonszlachetka2794]

Except the extra money for taking the trailer back to be repaired! You have sat and waited for loads that were not ready and that were supposed to be ready at promised time. Your time is worth money also and you should be compensated for it. You are a good man and you deserve everything you earn. I'm sure you have done favors for this broker / shipper in the past.

Been there, done that l hate to say its going to get worst. Stay safe merry Christmas to you and the Warden, Uber dad and future Nascar driver mom. And the kids and the Germans.

[@1911MikeinOregon]

You're not the only one to forget things Kurt. Even after 40 years of driving I would forget things, and I always had a very consistent routine. My routine was always extremely diligent the last 8 years I drove because I was hauling 12,000 gallons of gas, and there is no room for mistakes. That said, one night I was delivering gas at a service station and I put all of my hoses and fittings up, or so I thought, and started to leave. It was about 3a.m, it was snowing and I was dog tired, and as soon as I started pulling away, I heard a noise. I had left a short hose hooked up to the in ground tank.

[@John-kr7iz]

[@meangene0722]

I like the when you had Opie on the leash. The shadows of you both would make a good sticker or parch. I loved it.

[@orlandrosell4393]

Kurt it’s called going tactical, when you turn on the red light, or turning on your night vision. You can see a white light a lot further then red light carries. Enjoy the day, thanks for another great video.

[@frankrobert1788]

Honest man for taking the blame some would say it quit on the road stay safe!

[@bobmoroney3643]

That is a COOOOL LIGHT riding on top of the COOOOL DORK. 😂

[@RoadieKing]

Great job on getting the trailer reported and taking the time to make sure it was going to get fixed. That was one of the things that turned me off was when I had to give up a load to go pick up a trailer. Got smart and started putting my kingpin lock on and taking the broken trailer to the dealer, and then go back and continue my original load. Pissed off dispatch quite a few times and when senior management found out about my tactics, they came unglued. I found a position with a local company and left them high and dry on a hotshot load they needed moved ASAP. Best move I ever made - even worked out improving my bank account substantially. At least your company offered to make it up to you, which is a great sign that they care about you and value your work. After the company I drove for went belly up in '09, I called it quits in the driving world. Do I miss it? yes - and no.

[@elijames3041]

Be careful Kurt and drive safe

[@tthoutx1]

Red is for not loosing your night vision. Very important as well for boaters off shore.

[@scottycollins1829]

That makes no sense to have to pay $$$$$$$$ to load or unload period. But,, that's TRUCKIN!!!!!!! Everyone wants to take 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 from the TRUCKERS!!!!!!! 😬🙄🤯😫😤😡

[@Grumpy777]

Exactly 💯.. it's like Extortion. I don't understand why places order truck loads of freight and then they don't want to unload what they ordered well I didn't order it and no other truckee ordered it, we just pick it up and bring it to them. ✌️& 18

[@CreachterZ]

I’m assuming it’s included in the bill to the customer. Calm down.

[@leonardmsl68]

Another fun video lots to learn. They call the people loading the trailer's lumpers. Looks like you were having fun loading the clip. God-bless and Safe Travels

[@jimmc8232]

The head lamp is very cool. Unfortunately Opie won't be able to appreciate the ultimate coolness of the red light. Dogs are color blind and can't see red or green. They see the world in brown, yellow, and gray. I'm sure he thinks you're cool anyway.

[@7viewerlogic670]

Cool.

We have all forgotten things. In the grand scheme of things, my uncle used to say that worse things have happened at sea. He was an expert on what could go wrong at sea because he was a Coast Guard veteran.

[@CrampedGrampy]

No matter where I delivered, NYC, Boston, N.J. or D. C. lumpers got paid. The not so interesting but necessary part of recording the fee was to provide a 'make pretend' Sociable Security for the company. I'm almost certain most of the lumpers didn't have those numbers hence making up a number. Thanks for the ride and the views. Be well.

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 So it definitely was the battery? I had to rewind a bit to verify, but I still wasn’t quite sure. It ran after you jumped the battery, but I guess it eventually shut down, huh? Those are things I’ve never heard before. Cool to know. That’s how it is, we do our walk around & listening to as we go around, but we miss things once in a while. Just don’t make a habit of it. LOL! As long as you have a safe trip, that’s what matters the most. Enjoy the next leg of your journey! Blessings my friend. 🥰🤩✌️

Was it that fancy lumper fee? Lol My last lumper fee was $280 at a Kroger distribution in Virginia. As far as winter. I'm ready for summer to come back now. My beagle likes to eat stuff off the ground also. She's a food opportunist. I keep telling her, "Those are NOT gummy worms you see brother eat sometimes." Apparently, worms are tasty. 🤢 My Jack Russell is very picky. She wants veggies, and everything you give her has to be in iddy biddy pieces. You rock that red light district! 😂 Good video, as always!

When Schmidt said he had to pay $260 to have the trailer unloaded, that is called a lumper fee. Usually the company he is delivering to has a 3rd party company doing the unloading and thats how the 3rd party makes their money. Hope this explanation helps.
