She Says I Almost Killed Her // West Virginia Mountains Ep487

[@chasemorris5610]

West Virginia is one of the most beautiful states to drive thru you guys came late to see the beautiful leaves in the fall. Glad your beautiful rig didn't fall victim to our massive hill climbs. My buddy has a OTR truck repair business and he's one busy man because the hills.

[@johnmeadows5645]

The long mountain you climbed was Sandstone Mountain. When they first opened that stretch of road there were a lot of truckers killed on that mountain when they lost their brakes. You were in the Allegheny mountains when you entered WVa. The big resort hotel behind the rest area was the world famous Greenbrier Hotel. I was working there when i first got into trucking, a lot of years ago.

[@davidmitchell9048]

Charleston WV, here. From one Dork to another, it was cool to see you driving through it.Safe travels!!

[@jw1091]

The real long hill that seems to take forever, is called Sandstone Mountain, when you come off of it going east bound on 64, you better be in the right gear, it's notorious for bad 18 wheeler wrecks, happy travels and Happy New Years..

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

Grew up around that mtn my home town is Hinton in summers county and ur exactly right it’s a tough one

[@scotttaylor1175]

Thank you for the good words about my beautiful home state of West Virginia. We have lived in San Antonio Tx for over 40 years. But I still miss those Appalachian Mountains. Tell Opie that Abby and Angie say "BARK...BARK"

[@PETERBILT-GIRL]

These mountains are beautiful came through there couple days ago made a video

[@adambynum4524]

Greenbrier county? I know a Opie there 😂😂😂

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Back in the early 90's when i trucked that big hill on i-64 in wv was called sandstone. I believe it is the steepest grade on interstates east of rockies.

[@hughcox7001]

I agree the scenery is awesome, safe travels.

[@lesabre1972]

I love the sound of you just going through the gears and just listening to first-class I could listen to that forever. I love the sound of engines and she sounds good.

[@jamesperry2631]

That kitty cat was a purring I will say

[@floydjacksonjr.1545]

Almost heaven...West Virginia ...Mountain momma. Take me home. Country roads.

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Holly cow the sleeper is a mess! How are you ever going to get it back?? 😂😂😂. Happy New Year and Blessings.

[@Dennis-qb1fs]

In 1970 while stationed at Ft. Eustis, VA., I flew home to St. Louis, MO. to get my car and drive it back, and I-64 was still under construction. Let me tell you, those two-lane roads to get there was scenic, and it completely physically and mentally wore me out. At elevation, there was black ice, and fog so thick, I pulled over and attached a Buck knife as a hood ornament to cut the fog.

[@LT.X380]

Beautiful scenery today, thanks. Drive safely my friend. God bless you. 🙏

[@williamozment959]

Y’all too are wonderful together You both have a lot of fun together thank you for keeping us with you for your trip say safe heading back home

[@jimkiesel7362]

Your best video ever. Can’t have enough supervision to keep you on track. Opie doesn’t talk much. Great to see you ride together.

[@parrott350]

yeah, that was the skeet shooting range at 'The Greenbriar' you heard while at the little rest area ,on 64, there at White Sulpher Springs. Good stuff. Awesome video Kurt ! Best regards Chuck !

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

You two are absolutely adorable together. Thank you for sharing your amazing trip. I do hope you all have a wonderful and blessed 2022.

[@jamestauschek5424]

[@lesabre1972]

First-class looks sooo much better than one of those newer trucks hands down!!!

[@robertbailey6459]

[@yankfromthehills]

As a West Virginian I agree not offensive at all we are a God fearing firearm enthusiasts state with constitutional carry

[@CountryWV]

I'm not so sure about the God fearing part🙄

[@cthomm6996]

I’m proud to say my son wrote the bill for Constitutional Carry.. he lobby’s for the NRA..yes we live in Beautiful WV ❤️

[@dubvtrainman1869]

WV man here. I love you give our state a good shout out.. Seems like everyone wants to dawg out state, but it really does have a lot to offer. First time seeing your content. LOVE IT!

Brings back memories of my first OTR experience…WV Turnpike….NC…..beautiful country! I wish I would’ve had the smoke you have to pull them hills lol! I did it with a 430/470 Detroit w/Super 10! Great time though….I miss it.

[@johnferreira2044]

Just gonna say opie would love this spot , You had to just had to sneak that in 😂😂😂😂 It went from 80 miles an hour to a 100 miles an hour and then to 120 miles an hour 😂😂 But I know what you're saying sometimes I pull right out in front of them just to slow them down , HAPPY new YEAR be safe take care yourselves

[@jeremiahhively3025]

I am a fellow west virginian and seeing you trucking on the roads I drive every day is awesome

[@joniwhitt3366]

Glad you appreciate our mountains as much as we do! 💙💛 Come back in better weather. Be safe!

[@jasonshock8176]

Nice to see you all drive through my home state! The mountain you were climbing forever is called Sandstone mountain. Y’all come back!

[@kodythexton4034]

Hello Kurt. Watching you drive reminds me so much of my dad when he was driving. I miss riding with him and watching him slide those gears so smooth. Keep it up and love the videos. You two would have gotten along great.

[@TarheelTrailblazer]

I love traveling through WV. We do have some serious mountains (for the east coast) here in NC. Mount Mitchell is the highest peak east of the Mississippi. However, the interstates don’t go through there. You’d have to be on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Closest you’ll come to a great view from the highway in NC is probably Black Mountain on I-40 just west of Asheville or some of the mountains in SW North Carolina on US 19/23. I grew up as a kid riding in a classic Kenworth like yours. As soon as I saw the interior, I knew it was a KW. Love it. Y’all travel safe.

[@michaelselman9885]

Hi guys. What a beautiful drive. Thank you 4 taking us along. The next vlog won't b as beautiful. Icy, cold & snowy. ☃️😬

[@mikep1646]

One of the trucks that I drove had a 238 Detroit in it, would not pull a hill. Wow if only I had 600 HP. Keep on Truckin Driver.

[@lonniekiser3612]

Yep oh Sandstone Mt is crazy one, Glad you enjoyed the ride, be safe

[@yvonneqarwine7606]

virginia and west va are both beautiful states. nice to see your wife out with you, even though she looks to young. take care hugs

[@6658tw]

I agree with you Sven & Ole‘s Pizza in Grand Maris is awesome.

[@jdhfarms3596]

I went with a buddy from Michigan to NC over the holidays to look at a better service truck for him. On the way back we were on US58 and stumbled across the lovers leap section of road. Holy cow was that cool. it might be a little tougher in First Class than in a pickup but that was a fun drive. Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing!

[@adambennett2176]

Happy new!!! I love trucking 🚚. Even more so in iowa right now 380 exit 17!!! Piolt shut down due to very very Beautiful cold weather!!!! Cmon!!!

[@iheartcryptoverse2857]

Beautiful scenery. I've always wanted to visit West Virginia.

[@JS-ji5bl]

When you was on 64 in VA before you got on the first little mountain there you past Charlottesville exit I live about 45 min from there. Virginia and West Virginia have some beautiful mountains, I remember when I was a youngster my Pop bought his first road tractor over in west Virginia back around 1979 or 1980 I road back with him it was a ol used 73 cab over Kenworth his driver turned it over there on the 64 ramp there out of Charlottesville about a year after he got it unfortunately, then he bought a 1980 cab over Mack after that he went on to buy a new 1986 super liner Mack then the last one he got was I think a 1993 çh 613 Mack, but I remember when he bought the 86 super liner he tried out a Black w 9 and I wanted him to buy that so bad but he got the Mack I wasn't happy.. 😂.. by the way I really enjoy checking out your videos.. thanks for sharing.

[@georgelambert9780]

Awesome video I used to make that trip every other weekend to Ohio and also hauled sawdust and wood chips in Covington Va to the paper mill I loved it

[@travisvolf1804]

kurt... i love to wear a vest... duluth trading shoreman's fleece vest... so warm!! happy new year

[@dianesheets4253]

It is wild and wonderful. I have live here 64 yrs. Welcome to WVa .

[@TheNWClassA1218]

As a Virginia native who has taken I-64 west numerous times (mostly when going out to the mountains), and whom has taken I-64 further west than that, and through West Virginia too, I definitely recognize a lot of the places you drove through! Too bad about Pizza Hut, though I disagree with your statement on Papa John's. I'll definitely take Papa John's before Domino's. Have you ever had Little Caeser's? Their pizza's real good.

[@wvbonbonqueen]

We are really enjoying your videos. You always seem so calm, no matter what is going on in your life. Being from WV this one made me subscribe. We have been watching you now for a few weeks, but after this video, and seeing it, we just had to subscribe. Thanks for all the great videos. We are looking forward to seeing more of our Country with you guys.

[@jackball4201]

So now that i've finally finished watching the whole thing. You wonderful, outstanding, beautiful, intelligent people outthere HA The reason i like the family riding along is how dad gets harassed. That's alot of fun. Oh, by the way, reading the other comments i had the same thought. Fall time, winter time, hiking requires BLAZE ORANGE that's what i thought about you almost killed her. Glad you are safe and home enjoying the new year. May it be filled with lots of laughter and fun.

[@bettyadkins6991]

Wv gal and wife of truck driver, went over the road a lot with my hubby, enjoyed the views in most states, but Wv, Tennessee, North Carolina is my favorites..be safe out there, watch out in those truck stops..some have a few reptiles running around, lol

[@djboma137]

This video was keen. I like FOG and MOUNTAINS!!! The only way it could have been better is if Pizza Hut was open. Cassano's in Hannibal, MO is my #1. Thank you for your time.

[@Solo_kennel]

You drove threw my home town Lewisburg WV that mountain you climb was sandstone right out side beckley keep a trucken 🇺🇸💯

[@angryyank]

Good ol West Virginia.... have ate at that Hortons Travel Plaza a number of times and most of the time pizza hut is closed..... I also seen you crossing over the Chuck Yeagar Memorial Bridge too... He was one helluva officer... He was a guest speaker at a NCO school I had attended......

[@IrishAnnie]

My family is from WV. We used to go home every holiday and winters were treacherous on the mountains. Dad would stop and put chains on the tires. The twisting and turning would make us kids in the back seat nauseous. Mom would dose us with draminine. It took three hours to get through the mountains. It was so beautiful with frozen waterfalls and white snow.

[@donnsarian5142]

Happy New Year Schmitz's,first time I've seen FC chuggin,must have been quite the incline☝️😄

Great video. Weather sucks out by you. Be safe. Wish you and the family a peaceful new year.

[@rmeshr4282]

[@richardgriffith3593]

Sandstone mtn is the long climb your talking about. Stay safe Kurt

[@nelson8527]

New to your channel, but right at dark you was passing my exit, pretty dang awesome to see that and I really enjoyed watching you all crack up with each other.

[@Solitaryman70]

What a Lucky OTR truck driver you are Mr. Schmidt to have such a beautiful wife!!! I would have to go local and drive a tanker with LOVES /GEMINI TRUCKING or at least something with a PENSION. HAPPY TRAILS.

[@mcclungfarm7965]

Grew Up in Virginia Beach, VA and spend a lot of time in Lewisburg WV. I have driven 64 from VB to Louisville, KY hundreds of time. Awesome scenery for sure. Sandstone MT near Beckley is a nice climb for sure!!

[@faurotejames]

I love the sound of that exhaust

[@gregburgess6884]

Stay safe guys🇺🇸🚛❤️👍

[@katherinemaher3541]

So cool seeing you drive through VA!! We live about 50 minutes north of Stauton. Glad Sarah had fun in OBX.

[@Houndini]

I-64 WV is my area. Thousands wonders I didn't pass you somewhere. You missed our snow Sunday night Monday morning on 01/02 & 02/03. I see you was on our famous Sandstone Mt. Foot of it is New River some best small mouth bass fishing on east coast. That is your climb & Climb Mt.. there you talking about. I seen a huge bunch truckers loose it & didn't end well at all on that mt. About weekly. Run in spells. Some very bad runaways & brake fires that burn trailer & even cabs up before. Some truckers who went back home the sad way. WV is the only state completely in the Appalachian Mt. Range.

[@kodythexton4034]

You’re in West Virginia baby! Hahaha! Perfect.

[@kendallparks3239]

Kurt, Happy New Year to you and all your family! God bless you and the family and we hope you have a blessed year ahead! Stay safe!

Glad you visited where I’ve lived my entire life, I saw another KZbinr come here & he was talking so bad about this state, little does he know, we have beautiful scenery, a lot of great places & hotels & all kinds of other stuff 🔥❤️

[@ryancharles4124]

Hey awesome video,,,,I used to live in Charleston and hauled coal there,,,,thank you for sharing be safe

[@longfarmsTn]

Those West Virginia mountains sure are pretty. I went on a 2 day 4wheeling trip back in the summer with some friends to Lyburn, WV and those up and down grades are no joke.

[@CountryWV]

That's the area I grew up in. Man WV. If you like to hunt you won't hunt much in that area. You gotta love to hunt because the mountain is so steep.lol

[@jamesupton143]

Just a little fact the highest point east of the Mississippi is Mt. Mitchell. It is located in North Carolina. I've been to top several times. You two stay safe.
