I Broke The Number One Rule Of Winter Trucking // Iowa Wind Ep456

[@michaellake5269]

"Opie, those are not snacks". I busted a gut. Gotta love Opie.

[@jurgengervers8556]

Everytime i listen to this beautiful truck it‘s music to my ears. Besides of the hard work and long routes as a trucker in the US driving a truck like this must be fantastic.

[@jenniferestep798]

I never thought about the sound of your truck Kurt until I started watching your videos Now I hear one late at night coming up my street and love it. I am going to Bragg on you as you’re the best!!! You can sure make it purrrrrrr😊

[@robbwolf3309]

Found your channel today and thanks for doing what you do. Beautiful dog!

[@dylanstraub9612]

You have an absolutely beautiful dog. I'm a sucker for the GSD and Pit Bulls.

Nice to see and hear the excellent dog communication.... i had to sit here and laugh about that... a friend said i sounded just like you..... Very good... Safe travels....

MAN THAT TRUCK BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES FROM MY DAYS OF TRUCKING. HAULING OUT OF THE PORK PLANTS IN MARSHALL TOWN IA AND ST JOSEPH MO GOING TO LORADO TX AND MCALLEN TEXAS. STAY SAFE AND BLESSING TO YOU

[@robertthetrucker6534]

I pulled many loads out of that dairy going to Miami. I enjoy your channel bc I pulled refer in your area for over 25 years.

Winter trucking trick from an old school hand. Always keep an old metal coffee can full of sand and 2 bottles of rubbing alcohol. If you break down pour 1whole bottle in the sand and lite it. Leave your windows slightly cracked. You will stay warm as toast for a couple of hours. Old man taught me that 30yrs ago

[@woody71130]

I am definitely trying that!

[@notme5909]

When I was in the service we used to do that in the fox hole at nighttime with mogas witch was regular gas, but it worked well for us....

[@greyjay9202]

Be cautious with those Buddy heaters. They can be temperamental. A competitor has come out with one which has a built in thermostat. Saves on propane, and gives you more predictable temperature control. At one point in this video, I saw a pickup pass you, pull ahead a good distance, then signal his intentions before moving into your lane. I wish we saw more of that good road behavior.

[@cybersoil100]

So, what's the name of the good competitor to Buddy Heater?

[@sandasturner9529]

Tell me about it

[@johnwolf1475]

only use deisel heaters- much safer and cheaper

The wind is brutal. Time for that winter front.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@hughstephenson2957]

I helps to not park nose first into the wind, either. I learned that driving COEs, which aren't great at producing heat in the first place. Woke up one morning to an engine temp of about 130 and cold air coming out the defroster vents.. and of course I forgot my winter front (actually had bought a new one and didn't bring it)so had to cardboard the grille til I got home

[@dicksteffen1025]

Ran one of those back in 77-79. We had a couple of horrible winters those years in the midwest. I ran with my winter front buttoned up almost all the way all the time those years, when the roads weren't shut down.

[@the.porter.productions]

Porter greetings! 😎 So you’re saying that we sometimes have to make the same ROOKIE MISTAKES at the beginning of the winter season just to remind ourselves not to do that again?! LOL!🧐 Do you normally get your air filters from the dealer? Does your local NAPA carry them as well? I’ve gotten mine at NAPA and they’re a few $$ less there. 🤩 I think the last time I bought one it was about $75 or so. Better be keeping a close eye on those new thermostats.🧐 I tell you one of my secrets to good MacNCheese…add some extra colbyjack cheese to it and let it melt into the pot. YUMM!! Stay safe! 😎🥰🇺🇸✌️

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yes usually, no napa doesn't carry them.

[@the.porter.productions]

@@truckingwithschmidt7120 🇺🇸 NAPA is who I get most of my parts from. If they don’t have it when I need it then I either order it or get it somewhere else, but I’m a loyal customer of theirs. They usually take good care of me or at least try. I know those filters are quite expensive and some places don’t carry parts like that. Some places won’t have the fuel filters in stock for a big truck. I had to order online and wait a,couple of days to replace them, so I ordered an couple extra filters to have on my shelf. Hope that you get your truck winterized soon. Take care my friend! ✌️

[@scottsasser7607]

I sure wish you could tell us what day that you're putting these out because I live in Iowa too I live about an hour East of fort Dodge and when you guys get your weather it usually comes this way and if you could tell us what day you're talking then I can predict when we're going to get hit by snow and when we have got a little snow but it melted off it was 33 here today and today is Monday the 15th okay the snow snow when it comes usually comes from the north that's where the cold air is coming from too so thanks for your video and you kind of look like grizzly Adams with that hat on but thanks for the video I do enjoy watching them
