I Was Freaking Myself Out (Where's The Trailer)

[@krusty1780]

Let the senior moments begin

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@stevencaka]

Know how ya feel with those tight spots on the trailers Kurt. Yeah, we’ll get it em out, but certainly not pretty on twisting our bodies around.

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

Still watching for you on 156 at Elsworth. Maybe someday. You and Opie havagudun and stay safe.

[@albertcifelli2187]

I had a sore on my head that wouldnt heal also. Turned out it was skin cancer. Get it checked bud. Better safe than sorry.

[@yassindickie2124]

Sores/cuts which take a long time to heal can also be a sign of diabetes

[@derekdebruin6517]

Hey it’s fine loosing a trailer just don’t loose opie cause that would be devastating

[@bradleysmith6442]

How times you ever freak out sitting at the dock when the truck next to you starts moving but you're thinking it's you.😮

[@DannyHBHH]

I’ve done it and I hit the brake pedal. Thank goodness no wear and tear was done to them since I wasn’t moving.

[@lastone1269]

Looks like Ray Charles did the wiring!

[@SemperFido9915]

Hiya Kurt! I've done that very thing. Twice, I've looked in my mirror, and got startled because a trailer wasn't back there. That few seconds will raise your heart rate.

[@zackcomer3663]

Hey bud stop take it easy brother look I have been there before and it's not what you want when you go there brother I can't say what I want to say about that Kurt keep your mind focused and look everything is going to be okay

[@CarlinDontCare]

I was really surprised to hear that you don’t have an air hose mainly because is coming from a veteran driver. An air hose is a must to have in the truck!

[@patrickdumas375]

Sure would make that beautiful W9 radiant with those clearance lights on her

[@rogersawyer9265]

When I was trucking,I carried a 50 ft air hose with a gladhand on one end,to put on your red hose, and air chuck on other end to use when I had a low tire.worked real good.stil have it,if you stop by Fremont nebr at sapp bros.ill give it to you.dont need anymore as I'm retired.

[@scottb02]

The meat plants were famous for dropping trailers within inches of each other. There were many times down in Dodge City Kansas where I had to have one of their yard jockeys come over to move the trailer so that I could get into it properly. I'm a Husky guy and I'm not fitting down those little spaces that they create between those trailers. Anyway keep it between the lines and God bless.

[@lorilove4706]

Wow, isolation on the highway! Must be nice! West coast doesn’t know about no traffic,

[@SRTSyed]

9:44 that jake brake tho 🔥

[@horseplop9]

Best channel on youtube . No joke

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thank you

[@DannyHBHH]

Man every time I watch first class it just fuels and fuels my desire for my own dream rig which yep a W900

[@JRF946MX]

Kurt, I’ve been at Amsoil dealer and user since 1981. We have been using Amsoil and our two semi trucks one Caterpillar one Detroit for 10 years now and we change your oil every 30,000 miles. You will love Amsoil it will save you money in the short run and long run

[@psinclairjr]

Dont fret Kurt, Amsoil is a great oil along with Rotella. You know as well as anyone that maintenace and proper fill level is key. As for changing brands, its about our comfort. Both oils are outstanding and will protect the kitty Cat

[@kathiehumerick4694]

Hope you and Opie are doing good kurt.thanks for all you do for us. CVH

[@donmelton3289]

Wait until you can't remember what day it is or if you took your meds. Keep on Trucking!

[@jimmycagnee65]

Thanks bro. Tell Opie we love him. Peace.

[@peter1256]

Hi Kurt no i think you for allowing me to come along for the ride. As always another great vid. Both you and opie looking well. Hope your dad is doing well and the rest of your fam. Stay safe take care cuz we care.🇦🇺🐕⛟👌

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Great video Kurt. It’s been awhile since I watched one of your videos. Always love how you let the engine do the work. I remember one time I forgot I had a trailer on and only realized while watching in my mirror I flattened the stop sign with the trailer tires. Good to see you back trucking. Have yourself a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

[@lindahollister5530]

WOW, love the statues.🎉🎉. Stay safe.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Awesome seeing you and your partner trucking again. Great video.

[@mikebeezley8522]

Getting old sucks. I freaked out a couple weeks ago thinking where is the boat trailer and remembered I dropped it off at the dealership on the way home from the lake.

[@briancoveney8817]

I don't think I ever lost a trailer but I have driven 500 miles and didn't remember driving them,

[@thomaspalmer6060]

Have to get ya the new t shirt like trucking together has burning the midnight oil . Glad the weather is finally improving up there for everyone. Stay safe everyone.

[@lindaliebenberg6110]

12:24 ~ 😂😂A lost trailer. It made my day. Just being human. Be safe out there. {From South Africa}

[@Suddenly_Quinn]

Reminds me of the time I pulled into the service plaza in Connecticut, exhausted. Popped the brakes and fell asleep on the steering wheel; when I woke up and saw all the trucks parked around me, I thought I fell asleep behind the wheel and caused a pileup. Took me about 5 minutes to calm back down. Let’s just say I was awake for the rest of the trip back 😂

[@larrymixer144]

Hey Kurt, I was a lot younger than you are when I freaked because the the lights were out on the reefer unit on my trailer. I even pulled over and was headed back to the doors but I happened to glance at the tires and suspension, they weren't loaded, then it dawned on me. I had left the yard to run across MO to pick up a load for Eugene, OR. I was so used to picking up a loaded trailer of frozen meat when leaving I had forgot I was running empty with the reefer turned off. Talk about a walk 🚶‍♂️ of shame back to the tractor.

[@chrishelms1967]

Getting fancy and high tech with the picture in picture

[@bringndaruckus6956]

I love seeing you post, on screen, which city you pulling into. Even the smaller cities.

[@lizdini722]

Don’t beat yourself up. You drive alone for hundreds of miles in the dark and under other less than optimal conditions. As you get older your mind sometimes has little farts. Don’t dwell on it. $#!T happens. You’re doing good man!

[@norplan9050]

Sometimes You Don't Know Truthfully unless You find out for Yourself.. Then to get some Good Bonified printed Results from other known Truckers who use Amsoil.. Yes it's a Hard decision but 1st Class I'm sure has treated you well both hard & soft miles.. You got this Sir Kurt👍

[@kobaltseven]

That jake at 9:35, lord have mercy. 👌

[@brucefick9691]

Funny how the mind plays tricks on us. You're just getting in the swing of things. U and Opie hang in there.

[@mikeeaton251]

You and opie be well😎thank you for sharing the video. God bless

[@danishpuma]

Greetings from Denmark! Love your dog, love your cat! ♥ K-Wop!

[@engir63]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣So for two seconds you were wondering if you left the trailer at the last rest stop like a pair of sunglasses, sorry I know laughing is mean but it is chuckle funny. I have been across Kansas in a U-haul going to Colorado it is just field after field of corn no sign of life, it becomes mind numbing and time slows down, I believe that stretch of road is what gave Stephen King the idea for "Children of the corn?"

[@Ronald-t4x]

Memory blown

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Thnx for a very nice episode again Kurt.

[@dashhoundlover2837]

KURT I GET THE TRAILER YOUR SO PROGRAMED TO HAVE ONE I TOTALLY GET IT ! BEAUTIFUL VIDEO GREAT RIDE & OPIE IS A SWEETHEART OF A GERMAN !! BE BLESSED MY IWOA FRIEND FROM FL STAY SAFE OUT THERE YOUR FAMILY NEEDS YOU ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

You'll find that missing trailer along with your marbles. It doesn't get any better. Laughter is the best medicine for that and I see a lot of laughter in your future. I'm probably the healthiest person on the planet. 🤣Thanks for sharing the ride. Safe travels, and God bless.

[@J_Leatherman]

Great video!! Thanks for taki g us along!! Been on that yard at Dodge City many times.

[@buddywicket5544]

Hope you and family doing good. That was a tubland 102 male plane you can tell by the male sack

[@Lostagain9859]

You have a headlight out driver. Hate it when that happens. Never find them on home time only when on the road with a load somewhere. Damn trucks

[@DJPLAST2]

For the air fitting, tee into the air under your seat, put a quick connect on it and you will be all set. My dad used to keep a spiral air hose to blow the floor off/out. A 25 or 50 foot standard hose could be plugged in too. Mount the reel under the bunk if it will fit. I think the reel needs to stand vertical in order to operate properly. Good luck. Little further into the video. I was pulling a car trailer with my pick up, had another pick up on the trailer, looked in the mirror, the interior mirror, and for a split second thought that guys very close to my bumper, and why does that truck sit so high. All happened in about 2 seconds, very odd feeling!

[@johnmcclain7072]

Had those 2 seconds once or twice 😂😂 you and Opie truck it safe 😎

[@SG-ze9no]

I now have to watch and read some things twice, or more, just so that I retain the info.. having my mind fixed on my Dad’s health is not good for remembering stuff 😔 My husband loves that tank, we live close enough to Rock Island Arsenal that we can go look at those anytime, but work and life prevent us from doing that.. Opie, man you just need to sneak a memory fart 💨 out for your Dad.. lol 😂 thank you for the videos and the great views 🙃🦮🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺 how are the piggies doing and the fishies, you know the zoo??? HI FAMILY 👋😁👍

[@warrenmullett]

I freak myself out all the time.. it’s just when you care and are safe all the time when anything is out of the norm it sets off alarm bells !!

[@waynehammerton5698]

Nice one once again Kurt I hope you're all keeping safe and well Kurt

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

We are, thanks Wayne

[@waynehammerton5698]

Absolutley no problem whatsoever Kurt

[@shawnsmith9517]

I think it happens to all of us Drivers, it literally is a 2 second freak out, then you can’t help but laugh at yourself after you realize it.

[@MAX999MAX]

Amazing as always. God bless you

[@billydavidson6109]

Lol thanks funny about the lost trailer. I’ve done that before.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I am a firm believer in Amsoil. I don't know about the truck but I certainly run it in my Harley-Davidson. It is expensive and I can't imagine how much it will cost for the truck. I have used it in my bikes for over 15 years in all three holes. If you put Amsoil in your bike tranny, you will instantly notice how much smoother that gears change. The motorcycle kit is about $115 shipped to your house and that includes tranny and primary plus oil filter and O rings. I change the fluids in my HD once each year in the spring. That usually averages less than 10,000 miles. Yes, I too am an Amsoil Adam subscriber.

[@wbball15]

I've pulled roughly 1000 loads of rock out of that quarry at 4:30. Thanks for sharing, Kurt.

[@gilalicea9303]

Thanks Kurt! Safe travels...

[@janebeuten6071]

Glad to see the weather improving. I can only imagine how the snow, cold and wind make trucking so much more difficult 🥶 Hats off to all truckers! Be safe out there Kurt and Opie! 🙏🏻🐾👍

[@skippyjones4195]

Hey Kurt 👍💪🏻❤️✌️🙏🏻

[@elijames3041]

Hay kurt

[@davidbreman2494]

Kurt you better fix that right headlight before DOT see it!!!!

[@boomergirlable]

Stay safe out there , terrible crash on I-55 in IL today 5-1-23....Prayers ✌❤ to the whole family & critters....Hi Opie 😁

[@6582rg]

I'd be glad to wire up all the lights you want and redo anything you want done, but I'm in Central Oregon. I'll even light up that trailer you left on the Highway if you find it.

[@boomergirlable]

2 second "I'm A Dork" 😉😂

[@barryklinedinst6233]

I looked in my driver's side mirror and no trailer. Uh oh. Looked in passenger mirror and there it was sliding down the shoulder. That's not a good feeling

[@melvinwion1606]

just noticed when you were hooking up you have a head lamp out right side

[@curtisfrease946]

Thanks Kurt!

[@dan-fr9dn]

Amsoil first synthetic oil. they were synthetic when synthetic wasn't cool. that's all I use.

[@AZ_Geezer]

Kurt, I too once suffered from "brain farts". As I'm your parents' age, I've noticed that such occurrences have progressed to "senior moments". I find them somewhat entertaining. Moving along, as often the case after viewing your videos I picked something to look into. Today it was Kinsley, Kansas. Roadside America pointed out its claim to be the midway point between New York City and San Francisco. Looking into famous people from Kinsley I came across the 1950s/1960s character actress Madge Blake. She was quite popular in my youth, back when I watched television.

[@That-Dude-Felton]

I love how you talk to “Opie”, but you thinking you lost your trailer? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@hughstephenson2957]

My first RGN i bought in Denver Colorado. It came with a "hey can you take this England trailer to Salt Lake for us" kinda deal (it took 2 grand off the price so ok!!) Imagine looking in your mirror and seeing that mess?? By the way, the England trailer had been wrecked and was held together with chaiñs and straps.. 🥺🥺🥺

[@truckkadave7284]

Well I’ve picked up a few dropped trailers outta the “stinky” “cow” town of Dodge City. I gotta think those shag drivers leave the trailers extremely low, because I drop all the air out backing under every time. That way you can get the landing gear up to pull out, without the human “squeeze” slot?

[@alanunseld4942]

better call the guys in the white coats 😂😂😂

[@darrenbeavers8099]

Yes would be awsome to have air you could sell it😮

[@arrowkart4j]

I have a 50 foot hose with me. Hooked up a quick connect fitting on the air tank. Bingo I can air up my tires. Best thing I ever have done.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I need to to

[@docholiday1034]

Did the same and hang it on my frame with bungee cords…. 70 footer as i pull stretch trailers a lot. I like the reel idea!!!👍👍🤣🤣

[@TheRGSfan]

Years ago I drove a T600 with the 8 bag suspension. Man I loved it! Of course I switched from a spring ride Fld120 to that T600 so theres that. That was before everything had air ride cabs too.

[@martinbachhuber6664]

You need to use water proof 'butt splices' in your headlight wiring, especially where they are exposed to tire splash.

[@orlandrosell4393]

Looks like a normal night drive in Montana, except we have these little white reflectors every 100ft to keep snow plows on the road when it snows so they know where to plow. Drive safe!

[@billclements3879]

You have a passenger headlight out Kirt

[@ronisley9716]

I do like the picture in a picture shots Kurt. They are pretty good. Least I get a different perspective.

[@dougwilliams5424]

You definitely need some chicken lights on your sweet ride

[@dewaynebevis5484]

I pulled that lost the trailer gag on my daddy one time, he didn't think it was funny. But he laugh about it later.

[@danielyoder3396]

I have been using Amsoil in vehicles past 5 years and am happy with it

[@irvinwilbert1268]

Kurt don't get me wrong, I think First Class is a great looking truck but if I could own my own truck it would be that peterbilt you showed. I like that pete that Alice drives also.

[@screamingeagle9553]

I just bought a 2007 W900 from an ol timer this last December and let me tell you about rewiring now. Still work in progress 😂. I sure hope he was a better trucker than an electrician. Hopefully I will be able to get it on the road soon. I was nervous and skeptical as well but when you switch from Rotella to Amsoil you will be able to tell the difference. The ol kitty will purr differently. I love the isolation drives myself. Great Video!

[@tomasrodriguez5489]

Mr. K after the winter and the trip to Costa Rica, things are going little differently you start seeing and filling out, like the way the trucks filled or the need to changed oil, that is normal but you get usted, really have fun take care yourself and each other's, it's a beautiful day's coming this year!!!!👍🤟🤗🚚🏈

[@johnaitken6899]

I remember thinking I lost my trailer one time just for a second or two. Boy the things that go through your mind in that short amount of time.

[@karlsborgwi.jewell9919]

I did lose my trailer one day!!!!😮😮

[@steveburlo8010]

Kurt low beam headlight out passenger side!!!! That's why you don't put LED's in

[@magoo9981]

Lol man I had to laugh when you said “stinkytown” and then said Dodge City. I’m in Topeka if you ever need something hit me up man

[@MichaelGregg-wc2bg]

We have highways in Oregon like that

[@joeprocopio494]

Yeah been there to brother!!!

[@charlesmyers7193]

Thanks for the trip. Keep it between the lines.

[@drock7601]

Just a brain faat! They help keep you on your toes bub!! Cheers, from the great state of Maine!

[@ericschwartz9674]

😅 I've done same thing,,, holy shit my trailer 😂😂😂

[@JohnWaid6Plus]

Great to see you back trucking Kurt miss seeing the trips and the pretty scenery stay safe bud.

[@richardlevari9470]

I’ve had a few lost my trailer moments!

[@howardhendrickson2933]

That's a sign that you been out of the truck too long! lol

[@LarryTrawicki]

U going to DC on MAY DAY I heard owner ops are heading to Washington DC. May 1st.

[@fizixx]

Hope you get the headlamp fixed. Aside from your scare it seemed like a relatively mellow run. The dark 2-lane is how it use to be in most places. Kind of eerie, but no dangerous loons either.

[@keepupwithspeedy]

if i could get there, id wire your truck. it would be fun and challenging
