Missouri Snow Storm Closes Highways || Aftermath Is Rough

[@johnziegler4858]

Hey Kurt good show I was a trucker for 47 years, started out driving a 10 wheeler dump truck when I was 18 the boss gave me a trailer when I was 20 years old. Then I started hauling steel when I was 21 ,did that for 7 years, now my dad was a car hauler ,so he begged me for a couple years, so finally I took him up on it when I was 28 ,and hauled cars as an owner operator for 37 years, I retired at 65 in 2006 ,now I'm 84 and still like to see the same roads riding with you and and trucker Josh and J B G travels , thanks for your videos I enjoy every one of them them .

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@stevenrobinson2381]

I too LOVE old road maps ! I have a U.S. road atlas from 1948 in fact ! As well as a Rand McNally atlas from 1966.

[@SamuelManaole]

WOW my Rand McNally was published in 1975 , you got me beat by 9 years. ⭐

It's OK to talk to yourself. It's also OK to answer yourself. When ya start arguing with yourself. That's when ya run into problems. Lol I hope when the school bus went into the ditch, there weren't any kids aboard. I'm so ready for summer. Last night, we were at 4⁰ in my neck of the woods in Michigan. Little too cold for me! We have 69 days til Spring! 😊 Stay safe!

I don't know what I would have done without all my Rand McNally Maps back when I drove all 48 States and Canada. I think there is a box somewhere in our Attic with all of them in it. The maps would be from the 1970's and early 80's when I drove. My first truck was a 1969 Emeryville Cabover.

@@bryanbennett972 Mine was a White Road Commander. We called it a White Road Commode . Shiney 290. Had to pull 45 ft vinyl side trailers. The trailers were owned by the Insulation Company we hauled for and they had them all painted up with their product on there. The drivers called them Circus Wagons !

I picked up my reload at Liberal KS then sat at the weigh station for a day watching more and more roads turn red on the Kansas 511 map. I ended up running north on US-83 to get out of there. Still made my delivery window at South Sioux City.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

That was a good choice

Hello, Trucker Kurt. We know you can back into the openi g!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉. Yes, I watched Ryan Hall when his cameras were showing all of the traffic setting and waiting a day or two for them to open them. Stay safe.🙏🙏🙏..Saint Joseph got hit hard.. LOVED YOUR VIDEO..❤️❤️❤️.

[@casey6518]

Kurt, I still have a couple paper maps from back in the day, called them "Road Trip Maps" but mainly stayed in the glove box for the trips unless going somewhere new. I'd bet that Royal Thai Message Center next to the truck stop offered their special "Full Service" package for an extra charge to relieve your stress too!

Hey Kurt, there is nothing worse when you’re but starts hurting especially when there’s no place to pull over, it seems like no matter what you do with the seat or moving around help until you get out and walk around

Kurt, I think you're at the Love's in St. Joe that the storm chaser I watch was at during the height of the storm. It was absolute chaos - people were actually stuck/parked on the entrance hill. This is nothing compared to that. Stay safe!

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

That was a good video Kurt came through the capital city it takes time to go anywhere and safely we. Missed the storm but got hit with some cold weather to bad you had to bobtail back but long as you made it safely back home thanks for posting Kurt giving the people a tour of Iowa some places enjoyed it have hauling freight slowed down got to take loads that makes money glad you posted good hearing from you thanks again my friend

Lordy I have been on 35 MANY times when it was just like that. Camped out a couple of times there in Cameron as well. Don't envy you one bit !

[@TwoBits76]

There was a trucking company from near where i grew up. Bought my first semi from them in 1996 when i was 20. Anyway (maps). The owner told me that the way he interviewed drivers was. Take out a paper map and blind folded them. If they could fold the map the interview started. If they couldn’t he said i got nothing for ya. Kids have it so easy these days. No pay phones and com checks for everything.

[@OTRBandit]

I was just there at that Love’s and it’s still a mess.

Just ridiculous

So I came off the road in 1998 when my daughter was born but prior to that the two most amounts of snow 15 inches in Iowa then 33 inches of lake affect in Pittsburgh but the worst was 2014 after I started working for the county hwy dept with the blowing and drifting and sub zero wind temps. So now the new travel agent says stay home and watch county hwy boys drive by! HaHa love it.
