Try Not To Laugh To Hard, I'm Cold

[@1206redpwr]

I was the Peterbilt with the spread axle van and my cb wasn't working. I was having a bad week until I saw you and then it hit me that I'm not the only one out here that has struggles. So thanks Kurt for making my day. I got unloaded 40 minutes after I passed you and went directly to the wash. I've seen you quite a few times at Sparkys or on a ramp and didn't want to bother you, but I'm sure I'll run into you again.

[@theallaroundguy2399]

If you get tired of that trucking mess get out of it and do what I do. Make more money, keep more of the money, work during the day Monday through Friday, at home every night

[@1206redpwr]

@@theallaroundguy2399 Its neither of those issues. Just getting bad fuel, people pulling out in front of me, parts failures, and dumb mistakes made by me. Things I'm use to, but came all at once. It's all good, and Kurt made my day after seeing him and thinking of all the little breakdowns he has. Our trucks are about the same age and he has been doing the same repairs I have been. I am glad he puts outs videos because not only are they entertaining, they help others in different ways.

[@JamesLybarger]

Kurt you get older, you get colder! That's Life.

[@steveschmitt5137]

Merry Christmas, Kurt and the whole team at Schmidt 's family trucking. Hope for a healthy new year as well.

[@joanmesser7829]

Whatever it takes to stay warm!!! 🥶. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

[@CarlWickman-m6y]

Hey Kurt, I’m the one who gave you a shout out on the radio at the Kum & Go at Tipton, Iowa on Thursday night 12-19-24.

[@StevenByrd-l5y]

I agree with most, you do what you gotta do, just glad you got warm

[@keneldred9030]

Brother, I’m not laughing at you- I am actually proud of you for doing what you need to to stay warm out there in the bitter cold! 🥶🥶🥶🥶 I am a firm believer in “ whatever it takes to get the job done, that’s what you do!” And that’s exactly what you’re doing! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Take care, and keep up the great work! And as always, my best to you and all your family !

[@joycedellinger2528]

Don't worry about complaining when it's cold. I don't like the cold either! We still have temps in the 30's and 40's during the day and 20's at night. You and your family have a Merry Christmas!

[@ChristineChaya]

Hey Kurt! Have you tried adjusting your door? Maybe add insulation around your door frame on both sides. We’re not laughing at you it sucks being cold 😀

[@dyanjanzen2129]

Nope... that is soooo not stupid. Reflectix is a must have for van camping. I have the silver stuff all over my van. You do what ya gotta do... Merry Christmas

[@bryangiffin9695]

No laughing from me. Do what you need to do to stay warm. Love the videos. Merry Christmas to you and the family from Ottawa, Canada. PS it is damn cold here too, ha, ha.

[@LeonardMittelstadt]

Stay warm kurt throw another blanket in the sleeper god bless safe travels

[@SemperFido9915]

Kurt, there's 3 things truckers do well: Get the job done, argue and whine. Wear it proudly. 🙂

[@jerrysmothers715]

Hey Kurt, the insulation you're doing to stay warm will also help you to stay cool next summer. Keep up the great work.

[@wadericker4795]

[@chuckychuck]

You do what you have to do to stay warm, I rode in s cab over with my friend as an employee, he was a owner operator lease on to Mayflower moving inc, man that truck was cold going down the interstate, my feet was freezing, I had to put alot of moving blankets on the floor just to keep them warm, that can over put out some💩ty heat every month I went on the road with him for two week back in the 90's My career was executive chef when I got burn out I take a year off and go work for him. Anyway stay warm at any cost.

[@delilaperez82]

Merry Christmas to you Kurt and family

[@stuartroland9605]

[@carlthor91]

Merry Christmas to all. Kurt, in the spring, it might be a great idea to start insulating the cab structure. Best wishes.

Nothing to be sorry about Kurt. I've never been a truck driver, but I've definitely dealt with both hot and cold weather.❤❤ It's a tough job, but your doing great. Just be you brother! God bless and Merry Christmas 🎉🎉

[@panderson3657]

Walcott Radio! I bought two Strykers from them. Great people, great radio shop.

[@2fast65]

Kurt you should look in to a Hcalory diesel heater mount it on the deck plate and duct it in it seems all the truck camping people are using them have a great day be safe.

[@JerryBrentnell-x9z]

[@Truckergregg]

[@joesullivan8861]

Get warm, keep warm and stay safe!!.....get yourself a little tushy warmer, get some 32 degree long johns at Costco and always wear a hat!! 70 to 80% of your heat escapes from the top of your head !! Hats without a coat makes a huge difference!!! Merry Christmas my friend!!

[@thomaswarmouth2551]

Kurt if you would when you go back to pick up your Striker would you do an interview inside Walcott radio I have bought supplies and radios from them and have them shipped back to Tennessee but have never actually seen the inside of the store❤❤

[@ronniehayward3730]

That guy knows hos stuff I bought my Big $1,300 Ranger from him! Hey whatever it takes to stay Warm

[@Genewaddell-j8c]

Ice Warnings for North East Iowa !! Especially Highway 20 for Late Tonight and Monday Morning... Be safe Kurt..

[@stevenroesel2661]

Kurt. That is a common problem with every truck I have been in. You got it spot on!! Now remove that door panel and install that sheet on the inside of the door then tape the gaps. Problem solved!!

[@LindaHollister]

Hello, trucker Kurt. We are 22° "where we are at in ILLINOIS. In the 50's on Thanksgiving Day😂😅😂😅. Have a great day, Trucker Kurt🎉🎉.❤

[@EdmondBouchard-sy3ml]

[@trapnut]

Merry Christmas Kurt to you and the whole Schmidt clan.

[@OldTruckerDrew]

as long as your not running around outside with curlers in your you do what ever you want im still going too smile. have a good one young man

[@markbrubaker8585]

Install the insulation material inside your door. Glue it to the inside of the outer door skin.

[@MY-ml5rp]

Harbor freight moving blankets, different sizes . Hang on top door window drop to floor use two or more perfect.

[@davidbarnhouse5119]

Hey I think it is a good idea, I remember days when I'd have to wear snow boots and use sweatshirts to wrap around my legs to stay warm when the wind was blowing also use a ice scraper on the drivers door window 😂, Merry Christmas

[@carriejames70]

Hey Kurt whatever works . I don’t like the cold either, Merry Christmas from Ky, ❤

[@Garbagelifeus]

I’m not a big fan of the cold myself. It’s 15° today in Chicagoland. I don’t think you’re whining. I think you’re just telling us what temperature it is. Lol great video.

[@TomMarshall-l2h]

Hi Kurt. I put that dynamat in the doors of my pickup for sound insulation. (So. Cal.). I put it in the fairing of my Road Glide also...no more rattles and squeaks. Good stuff..expensive.

[@BroJerHWG]

Ducktape.... just like Red Green😂🎉

[@haroldgray457]

Heck no do what you have too we aint driving in the cold awesome videos

[@4GSR]

I don't like being cold either. It's 61 outside down here in south Texas right now.

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

You do realize you are asking the impossible?😊 You may be able to adjust the fit on the door to get a better seal. Stay warm. God bless.

[@kimdalin6191]

If we are laughing it's because we're doing those things too and we know how it rolls😊. Gotta do what ya gotta do. I have a 18 wheel salt lick that's driving me nuts but snowy roads about every day just doesn't justify a wash yet. Stay warm..I'm trucking that propane as fast as I can. Lol

[@dot1shots61]

You gotta do, what you gotta do to stay warm!!

[@joepoppenhagen5694]

Hey! You do what you gotta do!

[@tantejopie268]

Here in south western Australia, it is +38c .. it is a tad warm..lol, Joh

[@stevencaka]

Yeah, anytime it’s in the negative degrees Kurt, I’d be cold 🥶 too sir. Do your best to keep warm & motor safe, my friend.

[@rickbundy1709]

Happy Holidays to you and your family

[@DarrenStewart-x7z]

-16 Celsius here in New Brunswick Canada as I sit by my wood stove.

[@TedHill-97]

You gotta do what you gotta do to be warm.

[@peteengard9966]

Are you missing the plastic sheet between the door panel and the door? Anything to keep the cold out will help. Seriously don't blame you. I've gone so far as to cover the inside of the door shell with duct tape and plastic wrap. The thick stuff from vacuum molding. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Stay safe.

[@RandallMadsen-e5e]

I'm not laughing it can get down right cold out there... take care God bless you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year😊

[@erichetherington9899]

ifn it keeps you warmer then good job w the foil wrap. stay safe Merry Christmas :)

[@edwardkirkland686]

Merry Christmas to all🎄🎄🎄🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mackjenkins7721]

I am not going to laugh at you driver . I drive barefooted 👣 myself & two you gotta do whatever you gotta do to stay warm in the Truck 🚛 . MERRY CHRISTMAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family driver .

[@richwoodcock637]

Inside the door should have like a plastic sheet to help with road noise and air coming through the panel. Most likely gone many years ago. I'm sure they sale something to replace it with.

[@carlminks8544]

Hey Kurt you are the captain of your ship. You do you and stay warm.

[@kyrieeleison7328]

Reflectix I think is what you were talking about for what you put in your door. I would whine too if I had to be in that frigid weather!

[@jerryplante5783]

Reflectix. Used it in the RV for heat and cold.

[@mistyfinney5292]

Merry Christmas Kurt and family

[@gregmonhollen4327]

I remember driving a cab over with a blanket wrapped around my legs

[@russfox6837]

Me too

[@justgetitthere]

Marry Christmas to you and your family

[@ghostrally1071]

Hey Kirk, My suggestion on that Stryker radio make sure you put an in line swr/pwr meter so you can ck your swr and power going out, I've had friends that ran them radios always the same problem the finals, I had one friend I believe his was doing 80 watts,put ya a meter believe you're have better luck.

[@1320pass]

No shame in that game of trying to stay warm. Jeez I remember years ago having a company Pete 379, think maybe it was a 98, good running Cat but man she was beat. Cold cold cold. Like scrape frost off the windows on the INSIDE cold. Couldn't wait to load the coal so I could build some heat!! My Stryker 655 went down at the end of this season (hot asphalt tanker) and need to get it worked on. Bought it new in 2016. I keep a spare Uniden and mic in my go bag. Local day cab now. Be careful out there and Merry Christmas bud.

[@kellyatchison7516]

Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@prestongilbert4199]

Kurt. I live 400 feet from Route 20 in NewYork. Whenever I have go east or west I use it rather than using I 90. I love 20 for the same reasons you do

[@mikelockhart1827]

Marry Christmas to you and your family Kurt.

[@keepupwithspeedy]

When you get your CB back, have them check your standing wave. That will kill a CB quick if it's way high or slowly if it's a bit high. As for the door.. do what ya have to lol Its cold in my room. Imagine a basement with no insulation and just a space heater lol Stay warm my friend.

[@tc9210]

Don't forget the heating pad for your feet. Merry Christmas to the Schmidt family.

[@donaldwright5167]

Enjoy your videos.

[@RobertaMott]

I lived in waterloo ia from 1953 til1969. many times in the winter it would go to 30 below or more and stay for weeks at a time.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

My wife and I took a short trip yesterday by your standards about 250 miles. Outside temp was little of 40. Not cold but heater needed. My Toyota Tundra Platinum pickup was so comfortable. Had some Christmas music going. Most interstate all the way in South Carolina. When it comes to heat and cool, my truck is going to work. So Kurt, why not take First Class to a body shop and have them stop the air leaks. Probably want take them two hours. In your neck of the woods, it gets damn cold. Not so good when air is moving by your neck at 10 degrees.
